The music did get repetitive, but that went for any C64 games that had background music. All of the tunes from Ultima IV are still burned into my brain after MONTHS of playing that game.

Seconded. I played this on the C64 for a month or so. The intro voice saying Ghostbusters and laughing was pretty surprising given the tech (Impossible Mission also had really good voice samples but you had to complete the whole game to hear the best ones). I also enjoyed watching the bouncing ball on the lyrics (and one of my parents told me about Mitch Miller doing the same kind of thing decades before that).

How was the 2600 version impressive? I can't imagine a 2600 version of anything being impressive, so I have to ask.

You bathe once a week distorted
The viewpoint seldom seen
Way back in '68, everything was so great
No way
Wrong date
Keep up the trade
Balanced charade
Close circuit truth
Used to remove
Keep the camera alive

Best of luck with that. Many drivers don't like walking. People will fight for the closest parking space to the door of a gym, for crissake.

They just have to pretend that every speed camera is a Millionaire. Considering anticipated revenue they may as well be.

dog food is about double what it was in 2020. Say what you will about the cost of energy going up during that time: there's no way to blame ONLY energy costs for that.

It's greed.

Kennedy also accused several agencies under the Department of Health and Human Services — including the National Institutes of Health, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services — of being “sock puppets” for the pharmaceutical industry.

Yes it's remarkable how unchecked influence can be seen as corruption. Weird that it's never happened before, or to any other part of this administration.

Their solution: sock puppets that they control directly.

T_mobile doesn't force its users to get their credit card, or force them to use it, or force them to enlist their friends and family to get one.

If Big Tech has their way, all of these things and Andy Rooney will be yours in less than 60 minutes.

it doesn't look like anything to me

I had a kid at a gym tell me that all i needed to do to get lean was eat more pepper and spicy food.

On an entirely related matter, I exercise at home now.
