EVEN MORE KOOL STUFF...
WAS JUST WATCHING THE NEW AVGN EPISODE OVER AT...
http://www.cinemassacre.com/new/index.php
...AND THIS WEEK HE IS REVIEWING PONG CONSOLES...WELL, IT REMINDED ME THAT I HAD ONE IN MY TOY ROOM! I PICKED IT UP FOR ABOUT £3 AT A CARBOOT CALLED 'VIDEOMASTER, IN COLOUR, ITS IN IMACULATE CONDITION! AND IT INSPIRED ME TO FIRE IT UP AND HAVE A QUICK GAME ON IT...
WELL, UNFORTUNATLY REGARDLESS OF ITS AMAZING CONDITION, IT DOESNT WORK...I COULD GET THE PICTURE TO APPEAR ON THE SCREEN, BUT ITS SO JUMPY ITS NOT EVEN 1% PLAYABLE, APART FROM THE FACT IF YOU MOVE THE WHEEL AROUND ON THE CONTROL PAD YOU CAN HEAR THE BEEPING SOUND,
I THINK THE AERIAL WIRE IS THE THING THATS BROKERN, ITS SOMETHING I KNOW I COULD FIX...BUT I AM NOT SHURE IF I WANT TOO, AFTER ALL THAT WOULD MEAN MODIFYING THE WIRE THAT IS ALREADY THERE, AND FOR THE MINUIT I THINK I AM JUST GONNA LEAVE IT AS IT IS, AND RESPECT THE FACT THAT NOTHING LASTS FOREVER,
SO FOR NOW, I WILL LEAVE IT AS IT IS :)
ALSO....THIS BELONGED TO MY NAN, I REMEMBER SEEING IT IN HER KITCHEN, AND ALWAYS PUT A SMILE ON MY FACE,
NOW IT LIVES IN MY KITCHEN BRAP!
