  1. Not really surprising. The C-64 was a more powerful machine.

     

    I've always regretted, when my father asked me which one I wanted: an Atari 65 XE or a Commodore C-64, choosing the first one. Not that I didn't enjoy a lot of the games, but my best friend had a C-64 and I was always jealous of the incredible things he could do with it.

     

    Anyway, I just finished a playthrough for the 1985 game, Zorro.

  2. Mhm. That's weird, I see it just fine (I did refresh, tried it from my iPad and even from my phone, and it looked ok every time).

     

    Perhaps the site has something against people from the U.K.? :o You know, because of the

    I'll edit the post and link the Cat Bomb image from Photobucket this time. That should be visible to everyone.

  3. Cat Bombs

     

    The most creative way to use a cat as a weapon happened in World War II. The United States' OSS (Office of Strategic Services, the precursor of the CIA) needed a way to guide bombs to sink German ships. Somebody hit upon the inspiration that since cats have such a strong disdain of getting wet and always land on their feet that if you attached a cat to a bomb and drop it in the vicinity of a ship, the cat's instinct to avoid the water would force it to guide the bomb to the enemy's deck. It is unclear how the cat was supposed to actually guide a bomb attached to it as it fell from the sky but the plan never got past the testing stages since the cats had a bad habit of becoming unconscious mid-drop.

  4. Damn! I killed all of them Dead Space 2 necromorphs...

     

    Quick, get me a good game, with a decent engine, and make sure it's got a big map.

     

    Yeesh...

     

    Never mind. I'm gonna watch me some cable now. 'Cause you know. Turn on the right channel in this here TV set, and you can find... anything.
