More reasons I hate comcast
Comcast is no longer carrying GSN on their analog service, they replaced it with Turner Classic Movies. Now I have nothing to watch when there’s nothing to watch 🙁
Fuck you, comcast
The following rolled across the top of my tv during My Name Is Earl:
Hopefully this doesn’t also affect WCAU NBC 10, otherwise I’ll have to investigate “alternative” means of watching my NBC shows.

I scored two VFD-based handheld games from eBay:
The first one is Galaxy II by Epoch, which I had back in New Zealand under a different name (Astro Wars by Grandstand):
Below is a picture of the game display. The VFDs really confuse the auto-focus on my camera:
The game is a typical shooter, you control the green “ship” at the bottom of the screen and shoot at the aliens above. There are three levels where the enemies move in different patterns, followed by a fourth bonus level where you try to land your ship on a moving platform. The levels keep repeating until you run out of lives.
The other game I got is Invader from Space:
The gameplay is similar to Space Invaders where you lose the game if the enemies reach the ground.
You must be using an archaic form of pronunciation, like saying ‘ask’ instead of ‘axe’

Reboot!
I recently discovered they made two Reboot movies in 2001: Daemon Rising and My Two Bobs. I promptly stuck them in my netflix queue and watched them over the weekend 🙂 They were pretty good, though now we’ve gone from having the storyline nicely wrapped up at the end of Season 3 to having a cliff-hanger at the end of the second movie :-/
I tweaked my user icon a bit in honor of the series:
Not too bad for 30 minutes of The GIMP and a few screenshots.
Harry S. Truman and Dana Scully?
