I was going to get that goddamn record. I willed myself to it. That was my ninth attempt at it. Seriously. That video, from where it started, was over an hour into the video I'm sending into Twin Galaxies.

I did a writeup on the game and some history behind it here, including some of my experiences with the game. If anyone's interested.
Gaming accomplishments:
Nibbler (marathon): 251,169,160 / Nibbler (one life): 5,263,360 (WR)
Donkey Kong: 423,100 [L12-1] (150th place as of 2019-01-15)
Super Smash Bros. (N64): Ranked top 5 in Wisconsin from Q1 2016 to Q2 2017
Shrek SuperSlam: won largest tournament in game's history (Shrekfest 2018)

He talked about this on the show - he said that you could come and hear him anyway and learn something you'd never learn in class: "class is for suckahs!"

I have been really enjoying the Colbert/South Carolina/Herman Cain thing - the ad which parodies the "Cain smile" ad is comedy gold, and the whole run on the Daily Show and Report has been fantastic, smart TV.

I had something similar once. My representative came to my college campus to visit, but he came on one of the few days I wasn't there. Boo.

That's awesome dude! Just showed my kids the vid and they thought it was pretty cool too. I explained to them that the white bars look "bigger" than they are on the vid as those old monitors don't refresh like new ones - that didn't impress them anymore, but it did impress my wife :mrgreen: Congrats.

Now and again, my kids will say, "Dad, why did you sell our pokemon games?" I take a deep, satisfying breath and tell them, "Children, those games are in the hands of greatness."

I bet he'll try to pawn it off and say it was for the septic system upgrade.
