What were the earliest video games you played?

[Gusington]

Heh I contributed some alternate history fiction to a Shattered Union website when the game was released about 15 years ago. Got paid the most I have ever been paid to write for it!

Have you priced kids grass-cutting lately? They all want 401K's and Dental.

Me and the misses fully retired just a couple of months ago. We are also blessed with a nice home, in a nice area. It takes 45 minutes to mow, and another 15 or so to trim and clean up. Around here, this is $40 a week. This is about $180 a month. Can you appreciate how many steam cards per month this is, for a retiree?? I did have the neighbor kid mow, weekly, for the last couple of years. Good news is that he has expanded to several homes in the neighborhood, and he won't miss mine.

Oh. Old games downloads for today ... Sim Golf by Sid Meier, and Shattered Union. Flawed, but fun.

I downloaded a railroad game yesterday, 1830, and it looks pretty fun.

Games before lawn care. You appear to have your priorities set very well. Kudos.  :bd:

I keep hoping IRobot will come up with a legit lawn mowing bot that doesn't get lost and run over my Pussy Willows. I don't really have Pussy Willows, I just wanted to say I got away with printing that word here. Twice.

Duly noted in the GrogTome.

Pussy Willows should the name of the next Bond movie villainess.

Wasn't Pussy Galore the name of a Bond girl?

She is 93 now.

Honor Blackman.

[Sir Slash]

Actresses like her today are probably derided for playing such a sexist role but actually her character was most likely one of the first women in films that didn't just scream and faint into a man's arms when in trouble. I love the old 60's Bond films for all the nostalgia, the 60's era dress and cars etc.

[DoctorQuest]

Great. Now I have the "Goldfinger" theme running through my head all day. 

What the hell were we talking about?

[Gusington]

Cats.

[Pete Dero]

What the hell were we talking about?

Animals in Bond movies.  Those shells made a lasting impression.

That girl could cause me to 'conch' out.

I'd hit it.
