Re: BLOG: NFL in the FLEX

Along those lines, I think the most logical is RFID/Bluetooth devices that allow us to interact with things in our house. I watched a video decades ago about Bill Gates' house where everyone visiting was issued a badge that tracked where they were and turned lights on and off appropriately. That tec...

Re: BigRobsVan: Route 66 and Dinosaurs on BRV014!

Wow man, that is great feedback. Thank you so much. I cut about 7-8 minutes out of this. I ranted about the GoPro for a bit and then I ranted about my batteries a bit. While watching the "final" cut I was like... this is TOO long and so I cut those out. I also watched that cut with Susan a...

Re: BigRobsVan: So Nostalgic it Hurts: BRV013

Sometimes it's tough to know how much to share and what to put out there. I wasn't sure what I was going to film or say when I set out and what came out is what came out. I was up in the air about uploading it until the last minute. I don't mean to compare my experience to what people who have seen ...

Some people think it was a scam all along and some people think he was just naive. I don't know which I believe but I do know if you say it was a scam they can sue you, so you have to say things like "in my opinion." For people who took tens of millions of dollars from people and never del...

Re: BLOG: Our Five-Year-Old Hot Water Heater Broke

The hot water heater we owned two houses ago was awful. It was installed in a corner "closet" in the garage right next to an exterior door and the pilot light must have blown out 100 times. That hot water heater sat on the ground, so to relight it you had to lay down on the cold, dirty con...

Re: BigRobsVan: Worrying About the Weather

One of the unsung benefits of working from home is working in a comfortable climate. Since the beginning of the pandemic, I think they've been setting the temperature in our building at 74 or 75 degrees, and they don't turn the air on until 7am or so and it turns off at 4pm. I don't like feeling lik...

Re: BigRobsVan: Worrying About the Weather

My dad does the same thing with his air conditioning. He waits to see how late in the year he can make it without turning it on. He usually throws in the towel around the beginning of June, when he can no longer keep the house comfortable with shade and fans.

We turn ours on around March.

Re: PODCAST: Sprite Castle 086: Impossible Mission

Yeah, I do mention the ports toward the end of the episode.

Impossible Mission is one of those few games that the original was so good and following it up with a sequel was nearly impossible. I tend to lump Archon and a few other games into that category.

Re: PODCAST: YDKF Episode 228: White Water

I don't know if it was worse when they were crowded, or when no one was there. When it was crowded, the line going up the stairs moved very slowly and there were lots of moments to rest. When no one was there, all stood between you and those glorious slides were, you know, a couple hundred stairs.

Re: PODCAST: Rando Rob 0064 – Ninja Trilogy DVDs

Ninja 3 is on my list of worst movies ever (that I love). When I was a kid I did not understand those Cannon films were bad, I just thought they were over the top, super action films. A lot of Ninja III is pretty good, especially from the action standpoint. Looking back on it now, especially the wh...

Re: BLOG: Living that RV Life!

The beds in the RV were not comfortable. They were more than uncomfortable. They were literally painful, and we dreaded sleeping on them. Someone recently told me that the mattresses in RVs are merely place holders until you can buy your own. I don't know if they were being funny or not, but I belie...

One thing I didn't mention was "face swapping." I know in one scene in Jurassic Park a stunt woman performed a drop and they replaced her face with one of the kids' faces. They did the same thing in The Crow. When it's easier to swap in a CGI face than it is to create a mask... yeah. Game ...

Oh, it's quite possible. It's more of a novelty item than anything, really. The compatibility is pretty low compared to the 1541u and even things like the Kung-Fu flash cart.

Re: PODCAST: Rando Rob 0060 – Pac-Man Fever 45 Record

I loved that song, too. There are probably more, but I feel like the majority of arcade songs were on Buckner and Garcia's album, and that Space Invaders song. Oh, and Weird Al's parody of the Beatles' Tax Man, "Pac Man."
