TalkBack / RE:Majesco E3 Lineup Announced

Boy and his Blob! I loved that game! I'm very curious about how the new one will turn out. Hopefully it'll be a little easier than the old one...I remember it being hard as hell, then again I was like 10 when it came out.

For those of you who don't know about this game check it out here

TalkBack / RE:Mario Petitions Hollywood for Spot on Walk of Fame

Actually when I lived in LA I got to meet the Mayor of Hollywood...well, at least he said he was the Mayor of Hollywood. Come to think of it, he actually said he was the owner of Hollywood. And he even had Marilyn Monroe's driver's license in his wallet to prove it! Man, who would of thought that the owner of Hollywood would be some crazy, homeless black guy begging me for a nickel.

BTW, that is a true story....the guy was nuts, funny as hell though.

Isn't this what the whole Walk of Game was for? Won't putting a star on the walk of fame pretty much make the Walk of Game pointless?

Oh and another thing, did they mean honorable mayor instead of honorary mayor? It's funny because during the star unveiling for the Walk Of Game somebody slipped and said honorary mayor of San Francisco Gavin Newsome...when in fact he is the Mayor

Actually Ralph Baer is considered the “Father of Home Video Games”. While Nolan Bushnell is the  “Father of Arcade Video Games”. And yes Pong was invented by Bushnell. If you don't believe me, here's a letter from Baer all about it.

The best part about this, is it's at my work!!! Yup I work in the Metreon, actually at the arcade in the Metreon called Portal One, I'm the tech for the games, hence the name PortalOneTech.

Shiggy's star is right in front of my door!!! And Link's is right next to his! This is going to be a very cool event. So stop by my arcade and say hi if you're going to be here! I'll be the white guy with the red afro running around trying to make sure all the games are 100%.
Hell the guy that invented Pong will be here, and he's friends with the owner of my arcade! Gotta make sure everything looks good. Maybe I'll shine up my Donkey Kong for Shiggy!

See ya,
