Absolutely! I had a spaceorb back in the day and was a screaming Descent player. The SpaceOrb was PERFECT for it. Up, down, left, right, forward, back, spin in any direction… good stuff!

The entire T series was rock solid. When I was doing conventions, I collected stacks of them - mostly T21 through T23s, and any T4x's when I could (they were more expensive). Absolute workhorses, and they all used the same power supply.

I did a nice long video on a G3 laptop - not far from this one. They're nice. Also heavy enough to be a blunt trauma instrument!

I’m really sorry I was unable to make it, I had another event I was already signed up for. This is right in my back yard!

Next time!

I was a rabid rogue player in college (which may explain my arc as a student in college). Then, rogue was only on the VAXes in the computer room (these were running 4.2bsd), so were on remote terminals. We'd play until 3am when response time dropped through the floor. Backups were starting.

Bananas. "Under $1000!" - this whole keyboard-is-computer thing, not only back to the 80's and ZX's and hell even a radio shack model 1 - ancient.

But a modern laptop is a 'keyboard is the computer'. Or if you want super-cheap, get a Pi 400! $80.

So many productive hours lost (?) to this game.

When these games were popular everyone was going bananas for Dragons Lair. I on the other hand couldn’t stop shoveling quarters into Space Ace.

KIMMMEEEEEEE!

I too wish to have a pair of Big Mac boxes strapped to my skull.

YES! This! FFS people, those are NOT meant to be held like Bob goddamned Barker.

This trend has been bugging the heck out of me. The handheld desk mics are irritating as heck.

What’s just as bad are the people holding the lavalier mics up in front of them - those are area pickups. I almost universally downvote and “Don’t recommend this channel” when I see someone do that.

My local fiends group is called The Posse. About 10 of us. Naturally the singular member is a Possum.

What can I say. I'm lazy.

Still a favorite. Some of bills throwaway lines are true gems. (“…. hit me with a toaster. “)
