Jumpman. About the 1980 version or so, for Atari 800. I can't help it, I love that little man.

That game that came with my HP, where you connect the oil glob droplets. I get SO ticked trying to span that gorge, and it has a melt down when I've almost got it.

And right now I just started playing dominoes, the 4 player game with the odd name I haven't taken time to really read yet.

(and River, I've got a pinball story from the Ozarks you'd enoy)

The Sims...I've got practically every Sims game... Although Morrowind is really good, too... And all the Mystery Case Files games from Big Fish...I'm more into PC games or DS games than the others right now...

None.

Saw video games turn my relatives kid's heads to mush before our kids got to video game playin' age. We never had a game system in our house.

Of course, now that they are grown and gone, the wife has every Wii game made!

I prefer ammo and booze for entertainment. But if I ever find a Pong cocktail table...

And RPGs... I simply don't understand the fascination, especially among those who've never held a joystick.

My favorite video game is the one where I hide the remote from myself. It must be. I just can't seem to stop playing it.

I do, Bob. I now officially want to make love to Sean Penn, in a very rough, dirty painful way....

Hey Hollis, I see in the ads that a reefer company is hiring. I know you are over qualified, but you still might think about applying.

It's hard to argue with Joe and Juan. Ocarina of Time is just sweet. I'd throw Goldeneye in the ring also.

Chris Isaak is the Bob Dylan of rolling around on beaches with beautifully naked women. Chirs Isaak's words and music flow like a Dylan over troubled water

Bob is known to be a grumpy old bastard and kinda frie-brained. But he always wears hoodies out in public, which is cool and the main reason I wear a hoodie at all times. Especially and knick-knack and trinket stores. Just ask Ronaldo. Bob won an Oscar for "Things Have Changed". He always has it sitting on his amp behind him at shows. Good thing, 'cause he sure as hell won't ever win one for acting. However, I would smoke Bob's socks before I would pay a nickel to see that sawed-off little "Oh, I'm Just Soooo Smart" Paul Simon. "You Can Call Me Al"? I'd call you a lot of things , but Whitney would get mad at me. All those in favor of me shutting my pie-hole now, say "Aye".

The guitarist from Spacehog pooped on Joaquin Phoenix.

HollisBrown 3 years ago

I just hope Bob is done playing his moldy old folk stuff by the time he gets to the U.S. in July. See, he has to play that boring crap in places he's never played before. Years ago, the first time he played Israel, he was roundly spanked for not playing "Blowing in the Wind" and "The Times They Are A-Changin'" alternately for 3 hours. One of my favorite things at his shows now is seeing these old burnouts in tie-dye shirts who have never seen him. They look really confused and pissed off because he's not playing album loyal versions of 50 year old songs.

And BTW, nothing Charlie Sheen has done is original. Spacehog has been drinking goat sweat for years.

Today would be a good day for some virtual mumblety peg and horse shoes. Oh, Autie, it's Kill A Beaver for Earth Day out at the Wetlands. Anything to finish the 20 year Trafficway to Nowhere is fine with me.

HollisBrown 3 years ago

Good point, somedude. Grandpa Bob also played 2 shows in China(a first I think). I guess there was an armed Chinese commie pinko soldier for every 3 fans there. As far as the Ho Chi Minh City show, I call it Hoff Syndrome. No one there probably knows who Bob is, but they would be tearing down the fences to see David Hasselhoff.

Anyone ever play that kayak game on the Wii?

autie 3 years ago

autie, What are your opinions on beavers, and their associated muck?

obviously the opinion would be situational and on a case by case basis. If said beavers were in the way they would have to be dynamited into oblivion. If they were out of the way, a beaver pond and activity can enhance the bio-diversity of the immediate area and possibly create a new place to slaughter doves and/or teal.

Playing video games has been ruined by Obama, Reid and Pelosi and the looney left liberal media. But no matter, I can have any game I want because my wife makes so much money and all I do is hang around the the house and kill coppperhead snakes.

Seriously, I would say Tron, the original arcade version. When I was in HS I had high score on all 4 machines at LeMans Family Fun Center. It probably took $200 in quarters to accomplish that.
