Day 310 - "El-i-ot...5 Weeeks...Ouch!", Must Have Been Hitting The Bottle To Think This Bottle Was New, "I'm A BFF Of Sarah Connor, I'm Here To Do Her Nails", God's Little Tests Of Faith In His Own Rules, and Rambo Once Took Out A Soviet Platoon With Fruit

Mr. Blue
I don't know how you couldn't hate Atari's ET
You couldn't do anything.
It was broken.
3:24 PM Mr. Silver
I beat it more than once.
3:24 PM Mr. Blue
You must have been the only one.
3:24 PM Mr. Silver
Nah
3:24 PM Mr. Blue
I’ve seen YT walkthroughs where people get nowhere.
3:25 PM Mr. Silver
It's the stupid pits and collision sensitivity.
It's all too...big.
And blobby.
3:26 PM Mr. Blue
There just didn't seem to be a purpose
I thought that *was* the game.
3:26 PM Mr. Silver
"Raiders of the Lost Ark"...there was an Atari game. Wow!
3:26 PM Mr. Blue
The infinite pit loop.
3:26 PM Mr. Silver
Hehe
No...It was just find 3 phone pieces and assemble them in the right place to call the ship before you were exhausted. Done.
3:27 PM Mr. Blue
Jesus.
3:30 PM Mr. Silver
?
3:30 PM Mr. Blue
RE - the game's objective.
3:32 PM Mr. Silver
Well it was kind of the movie objective.  You are stranded...avoid the feds...a kid helps out...don't starve and run out of endurance...build a communicator...go home.
3:33 PM Mr. Blue
I haven't seen the movie since I was 6 or 7. I'm not sure why; it's probably worth watching again.
3:36 PM Mr. Silver
Probably.
I've seen it a few times that I know.  In the theater once for sure. It's been ages though.
3:36 PM Mr. Blue
I think as a kid I thought it was too sad, and I never wanted to see it again.
3:42 PM Mr. Silver
"Saving Private ET".
It's definitely not a happy movie.
3:49 PM Mr. Silver
I  would have designed a different game for it.  But...2 weeks is 2 weeks.
(It was 5 weeks, but still. – Mr. Silver)
3:53 PM Mr. Silver
That being said, there are some good game elements in it.
3:57 PM Mr. Blue
Oh! Two weeks is what they had for ET?
I thought you meant the desert burial thing.
Yeah, that's not very long.
(Even 5 weeks is criminally short, and I know – Mr. Silver)
4:00 PM Mr. Silver
I used to be able to produce full boardgames in 2 weeks.
Its not really the same thing though.
No one expected multimillion dollar profit from an expensive license deal out of me.
See you Monday unless a miracle happens.
With the right kind of miracle, I'll be inviting you to the islands for a vacation at some point.
So...cross those fingers.
4:01 Mr. Blue
LOL



Mr. Brown
Um…little behind on that one.
It’s called a flask and was already invented.
lol
2:47 PM Mr. Silver
Yes.
But this is plastic, and that’s totally ne- ... oh … 
“Round”? Not many round water bottles out there; cylindrical, yes.
2:49 PM Mr. Blue
It is impossible to clean the inside of these.
2:51 PM Mr. Brown
I thought the bag bottle was new until somebody reminded me we’ve made those from bladders of animals for thousands of years.
lol
2:52 PM Mr. Silver
Yup...my very thought looking at it, Mr. Blue. Impossible to clean.
2:53 PM Mr. Brown
Fill it with vodka.
Drink the vodka.
There. All clean and sanitized.
lol
2:54 PM Mr. Silver
"We call it the Bacto-Breeder Flask Deluxe" 
"Featuring: Oversized flat surfaces for maximized area. Thin profile for rapid warming. Clear walls for light exposure. Tight corners for impossible scrubbing."
2:59 PM Mr. Brown
“Now buy our special 50 dollar scrubber.”
3:00 PM Mr. Silver
"Or try snails or a small algae-eating fish!" 



10:06 AM Mr. Blue
Ironically, Arnold Schwarzenegger was not allowed to dub his own voice for German versions of The Terminator because his Austrian accent was not considered tough.
10:08 AM Mr. Silver
"Augah!  Ich habt a vussy accent at heim!"
(leans in menacingly) "I'll be cute..."
10:09 AM Mr. Blue
They should've had an American dub it in the German version.
10:11 AM Mr. Blue
(stilted, poor pronunciation) “Ich bin ein freund von Sarah Connor!”
10:11 AM Mr. Brown
German Texan accent.
“I’ll be back, ya’ll”



Mr. Green
7:34 AM Mr. Silver
“I sort of understand how they never want to deal with the New Testament in Hollywood, because it’s pretty much, you know, run by the world of the, um, profit-minded people who know it's all been done and the market segment for that stuff is best left to niche TV and has been that way since, like, the mid 60s.  With the exception of a couple notable hippy Jesus Freak musicals and some “shock” films, of course."
7:38 AM Mr. Brown
Blamed Jews for the death of Jesus?
Well, I believe that did happen.
lol
7:41 AM Mr. Silver
Why not go all pre-determination and say God killed Him before He was created?
7:42 AM Mr. Brown
God killed himself.
7:42 AM Mr. Green
Yahweh was always a sado-masochist
7:42 AM Mr. Silver
Right...that's the next issue...  Since a segment of Christian believers has decided that Jesus is equivalent to God AND knew what was going on the whole time, He committed suicide.
7:43 AM Mr. Brown
Even though I can sway your decision to crucify Me, I will not.
7:43 AM Mr. Silver
He also conspired and colluded to murder Himself.
7:43 AM Mr. Silver
These being mortal sins, of course Jesus damned Himself for eternity.
He then defied His own law by breaking/flaunting the rules.
The Guy cheated and so has shown Himself to be flawed.
7:45 AM Mr. Brown
There is a moral to the story, but nobody knows what it is.
Or it was all a game between Him and Satan, and He did it just so at the end He could say, “BURRRRRN!”.
lol
7:46 AM Mr. Silver
"And the Lord spoke, saying For I am the Lord, so suck it!"
"I elaborately died for your sins when I could have said 'no biggie' and let you all off."
"Behold the miracle of Me doing whatever I want."
7:48 AM Mr. Green
Or He could have spoken to everyone, not just a few fruitloops, to prove He existed. Believe me, if He showed up to everyone, there would be a massive paradigm shift.
7:48 AM Mr. Silver
Mistakes were made...
He's only divine, you know....
7:50 AM Mr. Silver
I'm no atheist by any stretch of the imagination, but there's clearly a lot of "look I can't explain it" going on in our relationship with the Judeo/Christian/Islam spirit world.
"Why am I doing this again?"
"IT’S A TEST OF FAITH"
"It makes no sense."
"IT’S A TEST OF FAITH"
"It’s a rotten test by any criteria."
"IT’S A TEST OF FAITH"
“…”
“THAT IT? ARE WE GOOD?”
"...You're making this up as You go and can't tell me why because You have no idea, right?"
"... (SIGH) SOME OF IT, YEAH..."



7:15 AM Mr. Silver
Was looking for someone to fix a rust patch…I came across Rambo Autobody Inc.
7:17 AM Mr. Silver
"Try our new explosive arrow welding service.  Half off full metal jacket cutting jobs."
"Ask about our box of spent brass cartridges special."
7:19 AM Mr. Brown
That would be sweet
Set an explosive arrow, TICK TICK TICK TICK < THWOOP> BOOM!! Repair finished.
7:20 AM Mr. Silver
"Was the repair much of a problem, Mr. Rambo?" 
"Yo, no problem."
"... Where's my car?"
"That's it."
"That's not a car...that's a pile of scrap, and it's on fire."
"Yeah...here's the new weld...beautiful, right?"
"Wow...that IS a nice join, yeah!"
" 'Course now's the painful bit...(hands bill)."
"Hehe...yeah… I guess I'll call the insurance company about the rest, but let's look at the damage...labor, materials.  Wait... APHE rockets? MIG Mi-24 Helicopter Fuel?"
"Yeah.  Gotta weld from the air, am I right?"
"Well you are the expert, so I’ll take your word on it."
8:14 AM Mr. Blue
There's a sign for “Rambo apples” on X Road.
I always used to think that name was created for the book/movie.
8:15 AM Mr. Silver
I bet those are some kick-ass apples.
