For the Old School Gamers

November 23, 2007 by 5 Comments

I was thinking this stuff is perfect for the old school gamers but maybe that isn’t the right phrase. How do kids nowadays refer to us? Retro gamers? Gamers that like antiques? People that are really old? Whatever we are called, some of us have been around since the days of the Atari. Anybody that was not raised playing Pong, Pac-Man, Pitfall, or Space Invaders really missed out.

With the holiday shopping season officially here, it is time to keep our eyes open for unique gifts. I have scoured around looking for the neatest and most original Atari-themed accessories and these are my nine favorite. They are listed from least expensive (perfect stocking stuffers) to the more pricey items. If someone who grew up with an Atari is on your shopping list, any of these things would make an awesome gift.

Halo 3 and Developmental Psychology as a School Project

November 21, 2007 by 8 Comments

About this video, from DarkZero375 :

In my psychology class, the teacher told us to make a presentation that’s both interesting yet fun. So my group, the Flying Squirrels, decided on “how to keep a fine-tuned mind”, and I made the video by using Halo 3.

It doesn’t really get started until about a minute and a half in. I really like the creativity behind using a video game to make an educational point. The video held my attention for the entire duration of it so they definitely succeeded in making it interesting and fun to watch. Here’s to hoping these students got an A! And who says video games can’t teach you anything? …

The Companion Cube Necklace

November 21, 2007 by 5 Comments

First it was soft and cuddly. Then it was tiny and made out of paper. Now it is pendant sized and would make a wonderful necklace. This Companion Cube is hopefully not extremely weighted though. You don’t want to get a neck cramp or anything.

The seller is also willing to turn this into a keyring if that is more your style. Regardless of if it goes around your neck or with your keys, it is sure to be an adorable new accessory.
