Exciting JC Update!

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

Well, well, well!

The AG is dead. And I'd be all for invigorating it with content. But really, the only thing going on in my life that I'd like to talk about is video games.

So, I'm moving video game discussion back here. Having the Trotting Krips base separate from the video games base was also awkward. And I'm not up for awkward situations any longer. I'd rather see Orc's Head be dead.... like it ALWAYS is than see the whole BBS come screaming to a halt.

Here are some other goings-on, as well:

1) You'll be able to buy Fallacy of Dawn CDs again from Feelies.org shortly. I shipped off 17 more to Emily last week.

2) April 26th is still the day I am shooting for for the release of Super Jonsey Adventure IV.

3) It has come to my attention that in the old Activision game "Freeway," you can only move up or down. Not left or right. So belated congrats to David Crane for ripping off Frogger, but doing it badly.

That is all! Enjoy your stay.

<i>Freeway</i> development was started before Frogger's release.

Also, fun facts: initially, in Freeway, you were a human, not a chicken, and you left a red smear when hit.

Ah.

Chopper Command is still a ripoff of Defender, though, right? It's OK to say that, yesno?

Freeway would have been much, much better if you were a guy that left tire tracks.

Did Freeway use the paddles, Bruce?

ALSO! Did anyone else get the Activision Anthology? Why are the controls centering for Kaboom!?

Yes and yes. Chopper Command is a much better Defender than Atari Defender, although not better than Stargate/Defender II.

No.

No, and because it's broken.

It needs Teufel Zekk back.

I'll be there in a few days, to properly distract you with beer for a day or two. Semper Fi!

I turned 30 a year and a half ago, so I don't know what you're getting at.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, ROBB!

Ah! It seems the cat is out of the bag.

I turned 30 today, yeah. I sort of made being a twenty-something "my thing" so now I don't know what to do.

Take up pottery or sculpting, I guess. WHO'S GOT SOME WARM CLAY!!!? I DON"T KNOW!!! ^__^
