Nice. Heh, that made me think of a famous 80s movie quote: "I'd buy that for a dollar." I wanted to put a serious beatdown on our Web hosting service that day, so that's the only image I could think of that seemed to fit the mood. Great movie though. OMG! A dollar!?! Nice.

Otherwise, the only thing left from that plane when it disappeared into the 50s would have been a pair of flame trails. I can't dispute you for questioning the terrorists, though. That mofo had to be on crack. The only explanation I can come up with is that there was no flux capacitor on board.

Actually, the 2600 marks the dawn of my video gaming career. So many good times with that machine. Heh, back when my dad could actually beat me in video games. The only sports games I remember are baseball and football, but no, I never cheated. My QB could actually run around the world in a few seconds :D We'll definitely have to do a show featuring some of our favorite Atari games. You got that right, Turd.

You can't beat the old basketball game on 2600. Remember that one? It was basically one-on-one hoops with two stick figure dudes running around dribbling a square basketball. Oh, and what about the football game on 2600. The one in which the defensive team could blitz the QB and if you didn't get there in time, you could go ahead and run your player off the screen behind the QB only to pop in on the other side of the screen to try for an interception. Those are two of the classic games that I remember from my days playing the 2600. I don’t know about you guys, but I’m still rockin’ the Atari 2600.

It'll probably be closer to the Transformers movie than it will be to the new Batman movies--mostly spectacle with lots of explosions and eye-candy and not much character-driven plot. Regardless, I'm still going to plunk down my hard-earned cash to see it just because it's G. I. freakin' Joe. It's like they already have my money. Yeah, I’m a bit worried myself.
