    the tags are way over my head

    Hah, sorry. It was more of a joke to myself. I forgot the tags are visible on the page. It's a reference to my favorite Christmas movie, 'Scrooged'.

      Cool!
      Have a good Christmas!

      If tetris has thought me anything, it's that errors pile up and that accomplishments dissappear.

            Great post! You caught me by surprise and now I think I don't have anything that cool to share...

            By the way, my top favorite Christ related movie (also the only musical movie I like): Jesus Christ Superstar.
            To be honest I watch it several times through the year. :-)

            One of my favorite parts:

            Judas has a great voice!

                  Yeah, but for thirty pieces of silver, you'd think he'd learn an instrument. ;)

                      @mediamogul This is great! May try a Lego build myself over Christmas, I'm sure there'll be plenty of it under the tree;) I've even had to have a look at ET, boy is that something else! Going to show my boy just to show him how good his scratch projects are in comparison;) Now to find Cheetahmen... there's something quite amusing about finding the worst games. Could be an alternative rom of the week thread!!

                        The game's creator (Howard Scott Warshaw) has a great sense of humor about the whole thing. Having also created 'Yar's Revenge', which is known to be one of the best games on the 2600, he often jokes about having the widest range of any game developer out there.

                        The best synopsis of the whole E.T. phenomenon has to be this segment from 'The Video Game Years'.

                            So crazy, you'd have to make it up if it weren't true. Alongside the documentary from Xbox Entertainment Studios, James Rolfe also made a highly fictionalized feature film based on a race to uncover the extraterrestrial truth behind the burial in ''Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie". He even gives his long-awaited review of the game during the end credits. It's unbelievably impressive for an independent Sci-Fi film.

                                @mediamogul i am probably going to mostly use the instructions to make a lego nes (not for the pi or anything else) with a controller and cartridge.

                                  That is a great video. I love 'The Game Chasers'. It's like 'American Pickers' for retro games.

                                  @edmaul69

                                  That sounds great. Be sure to look at the black climbing rope pieces. They'd make perfect controller cords. If you do end up building it, I'd love to see some pics.

                                          @mediamogul definitely. The 100+ pieces should be here in a couple weeks. I'll either build it or pawn it off to my nephew as a cheap excuse for him to do something "for fun" that's actually for me.
