AtomicBaboon!?!

Christmas was pretty cool this year. I received a working, 6 switch Atari 2600 and a dozen or so games from my family. It is pretty sweet, and it works on my new television. There's nothing like Space Invaders, Asteroids, Defender, Combat, or Joust on one of those. Good times.

My mom found the system and ordered it from Atari Garage. She said they were nice people when she spoke with them on the phone and were great to work with. So, since I have another Atari at home that isn't working right now I may end up contacting them about getting some pointers on how I might go about fixing it... or I might just send it to them. Either way, I may end up with a couple working Atari's before all is said and done.

I mentioned my new Television last week, and I picked that up this weekend (thanks for your help Zac) along with a TiVo. TiVo is pretty cool. I am pretty bummed that I missed most of Battlestar Gallactica last season, but that shouldn't be a problem with next season now that I have the TiVo. I need to tell it to stop trying to guess what I like though. It keeps recording Mythbuster re-runs, Daily show, and Colbert Report. It was recording something when I left for work this morning, and I have no idea what it was. I'm sure it thinks it is being very clever.
