A little bit of history

[lynxgriffin]

I can't even comprehend the amount of wank that's exploding the internets. And now the KHFFR wank, too? DAMN, man, I am slain!

So, instead of offering my thoughts on pedos yaoi mass hysteria Gin and Sin whatever like everyone else, I offer you a shiny distraction instead.

The first video game invented in the United States was, in fact, not Pong! But it was similar. It was invented by William H. Higginbotham, and it was called Tennis for Two. It was played on an oscilloscope, hence the "graphics" actually look better than most of the first video games. Pretty nifty, no? :3

While on video game history subject, here's an interesting music video about E.T., the worst video game ever made.

The group project for this is gonna suck, but at least as a reward we get free dinner, and then there's a special guest presentation by Dan Curry, who's won multiple Emmys for his work on the Star Trek special effects for pretty much every series. :D It should be interesting!

I think I remember seeing that somewhere. It's actually quite beautiful...and hypnotic. :|
Having a round screen on anything would be awesome.

It kind of is! It's like normal tennis, but not as spastic...kinda slowed down and mellow.

And there need to be more round-screened TVs in the world. :O
