Those hot pockets are bad for you. Have you read the dietary label on it?
Maybe that's why they disappeared? lol
Well, it's not like hot pockets are particularly good for you in the first place.

That's the exact same kind I have. It rocks.
I'm surprised at the quality of screen for 2005. This thing gets pretty bright and black levels are excellent, even if the refresh rate is a bit low.

Are there multiple settings? Because that looks like it would burn out. Fast.

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

The camera makes it look brighter, but that's the low setting (2 settings, low and high). It's on par with the DSLite in brightness I'd say.

A new challenger has arisen in the Q*Bert world record sweepstakes. And damn is he good.

Ed Heemskerk of Florida just passed 26 million points a little while ago. He's been playing for around 50 hours or something now.

Check out his run here:

I've been watching off and on since around the 5 million mark. He's absolutely insane at this.
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)

Speedrun.com Profile (contains multiple WRs)

Those older competitive games that do not have an end are always insane to see high scores on. 50 hours of Qbert would drive me mad, as would 256 loops of Gradius V.
