I miss Atari. Unfortunately, I've somehow filled my mother's shoes--I suck at today's video games. I remember how deflated she looked when my brother and I would refuse to hand over the joystick, and now, I can empathize. Sigh. But I can't blame them. Who the hell wants to sit there and watch me panic and die within the first ten seconds? It's painful and embarassing.
Okay, sorry for getting off-track. Where's today's open thread?
Go for it folks...
