We’re back with another amazing podcast! In this episode we discuss:
Enjoy!
We’re back! In this thrilling episode we discuss:
1) The 3D movie tax. Now that every movie is going 3D, every movie ticket automatically becomes $2.50 more expensive. Lame!
2) The Apple iPad. What and who is this for?
3) Actors who haven’t lived up to their potential AKA Come on Dwayne Johnson, pick up a machine gun already!
Parker Dillman – the “Longhorn Engineer” and a member of my forums, has gotten a custom “remanufacture” of an Atari 2600 working! Way to go!
You can visit his site here – hopefully he’ll have this for sale soon! He also has a very nice Atari 2600 composite video mod you should check out.
Hello internet, Ben here with another plug for the Midwest Gaming Classic. (MGC)
If you like videogames, and you live even remotely close to Milwaukee, WI (home of all the best beers) you owe it to yourself to visit the 2010 Midwest Gaming Classic! It’s become quite a large event, rivaling the size of game conventions you’d find elsewhere (well, maybe not Dragon*Con).
Best of all, at least in the context of this website, you can visit the Benheck.com Experience room of MGC to meet me, podcast co-host Jason “Jones” Jones, and many of our forum members. Highlights include:
So if you haven’t already, check out their site here! We’ll see you there!
As many of you know I have been working on a Bill Paxton themed pinball machine for several years, and have made a lot of progress since last summer. A few months ago I was on the “Fat Man and Circuit Girl” show and suggested to Jeri Ellsworth that she attempt a machine of her own, since she loves pinball so much and could obviously handle it.
Cut to a few months later and not only is she working on one but making amazing progress as well! The theme is “As Seen on TV”, so I’m hoping when the ball drains it says “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up!”
Some of her friends have started their own innovative pins as well. A bit of trash talk later and now it’s a race to see who can finish their machine first and “out toy” each other!
If you’d like to keep tabs on this epic battle and egg us both on, see below:

It’s that time of year again! Time to listen to me ramble on about what I think will happen in the gaming industry. For this installment I mostly concentrate on new consoles since I feel this generation is already getting old, well the 360 and Wii at least. Other topics covered are the death of music games without a country savior, 3D games and the Microsoft Natal.
