I want a new Star TREK pinball.

It seems Stern has listened to me :) . There's a new Star Trek pinball about to be released!

I'm afraid that these things are a little bit too expensive for me though, but I would LOVE to have one of these....

Arcade Lifestyle / Re: Inside North Korea's Newest Video Game Arcade
« on: August 15, 2013, 10:34:59 PM »
According to Yonhap (via ROK Drop), the country's government controlled media states this new Rungna arcade is open late into the night and attracts "thousands" of people every day. Thousands!

Indeed, according to the government controlled media. Who always tell the truth in North Korea of course  ;D

Translation: they bought these machines from China (the only friend North Korea has left), put them in a building, gathered some people to make a few awesome pictures, close the doors and leave it to rot. Or maybe Kim Jong-Un's friends play the machines every now and then....

This must be one of the most beautiful cabs I've ever seen. And a bargain too!

Arcade Lifestyle / Re: my biggest project yet.... a gameroom
« on: June 15, 2013, 12:34:23 AM »
My inlaws have a basement which is partly below ground water level. It's built using prefab concrete elements and it's as good as completely watertight. In a corner of the basement garage is a sump pump in case of heavy rainfall, but since the build of the house 10 years ago they never had any water in the basement. But hey, we're talking about the Dutch here, we all but invented building in wet circumstances  ;D

And freak storms with power outages only happen about once every 10 years or so, in the whole country  :)

Those pipes indeed keep the water level down. Ground freezing is very expensive and only used for very large projects (thinks in terms of tens of millions of euros) where lowering the ground water level is almost impossible, or even dangerous.

Anyway, this looks like another epic gameroom build thread. I love this forum!  :)

but would it be worth it to dig and dig to find it?

Sure it is, but not to get any financial gain from whatever it is they will unearth. The sole reason is to debunk a 30 year old myth, and find out what's REALLY the truth behind this whole story.

Or maybe the REAL E.T. has already unearthed all those things years ago, and decided that with THAT technology it's absolutely not yet worthwile to make contact with humankind  ;D

This Ebay seller still has 5 sets available. Price is very decent imho.

Never thought I'd see this video again. It was a huge craze when it came out in 2004 or so, a viral video before the term viral video even existed  :)

Yeah, I remember seeing this too last year. The pictures were different so I don't know if it's the same item from another (or the same) seller, or if it's a whole other one. If my memory serves me right it looks exactly the same though...

This is really, really, sad  :'(

Sad? I laughed out loud reading this  :D :D :D


And since Mr. Miyamoto is still very much alive he might even have a chance to go to some Nintendo event, bring this game with him and let him sign it. Again  :).
