Big Trouble

Next time some eight-foot-tall, wild-eyed maniac taps the back of your favorite head up against the barroom wall and asks you if you’ve paid your dues, well, you just do what ole Jack Burton always does at a time like that: you stare that sucker right back in the eye.

“Have you paid your dues, Jack?”

“Yes, sir; the check is in the mail.”

Fly-powered airplane

Hey kids! You too can build your own Fly-Powered Airplane!

I have plans of building a larger version of this. However, I’m still researching the types of glue I’d need in order to attach the plane to Robert’s head.

Underdogs

Robert found the Underdogs site, which is a repository and encyclopedia of historic games. Underdogs finds computer games from as early as the 70s, games that have been released as freeware or otherwise released into the public domain, and preserves and promotes them.

From their About section: “Home of the Underdogs is a non-profit site dedicated to the preservation and promotion of underrated PC games (and a few non-PC games) of all ages: good games that deserve a second chance after dismal sales or critical reviews that we feel are unwarranted.”
