These guys are such good sports.

Is there a way to save the video?

[Boingo]

right click
download this video to real player

If you prefer to convert it to mpg, download "any video converter" (free version) and it will convert it for you. For these kinds of video's, it works great.

I do not have the option to save on right click.. Just zoom exc. Can some one down load it and send it to me?

What a bunch of posers, huh!? ;P

[daveybabes]

Great!

That was fun, they were struggling a bit, but a great first effort at something totally new and good sports, i think something on Neils kit fell over as i heard him say something and the drumming stopped so that choked the play, nice guys, always liked em since the early 80's when i first heard them

That was a classic. Pretty funny seeing Neil behind the toy set.

They sure did better than I would've. I haven't played a video game since Galaxian and Space Firebirds were all the rage. Used to run an arcade in the early '80's, which was a lot of fun, but the thing I liked best was....

Foosball. Yep, we had several Tornado foos tables and they were way more fun than shooting down funny looking flies and birds.

I refuse to get involved with video games now. I'm boycotting forever, not that they've really noticed or cared. Too much freakin' money and too much time wasted.

Old fart....don't you know anything. Galaga was much better than Galaxian

[Big Bopper]

Speaking of "old fart," I'm so old I can remember when Pong came out.

We would sit around in the evenings after chasing dinosaurs around (or getting chased around) and have a rockin' good time. And yes kiddies, before that all I had to play with were sticks and rocks....

Actually, I played some Asteroids a bit, but the stupid game couldn't react as fast as I could.

Peart and company probably could've done better at Pong.

I remember Pong as well. I was only a little tike but I do remember playing it in the mid 70's. The 70's and 80's were a great time to grow up. One of my future projects is to build a full size MAME arcade system.

The part about Alex's Kimono from the loading screen was classic.

Hear hear!

I was a pretty ardent foosball player myself, but not nearly so much as my friends, one of whom even was in a movie about the sport.

Video games. Feh! I am watching with horror as my two adult children waste their young lives with the Wii and online gaming. Hopefully some day they will wake up. What can I say, though? I smoked pot for 18 years of my life (a vice they have stayed clear of). Not sure if that's as bad, though. At least I learned to surf, play drums, play guitar, graduate college, and learned to make a living as a photographer during that period of my life...

Some of those foosball players are incredibly skillful, that's for sure. Just goes to show that even if you are limited (guys on a steel bar) what you can really do if you put your mind to it.

I feel you about the video games, stick. I second your 'feh' and add an even stronger 'piffle.'

I have a 24 year-old son and a 30 year-old son-in-law that are deep into online gaming. They spend literally days at a time involved in their imaginary worlds, and when they surface because reality intrudes (like having to work to pay the gaming bill) they spend much of their 'free' time longing to be back 'inside.'

I've been working and working on them with some success, but it's an uphill battle all the way. I haven't used 'the force' on them yet, but I've come close. Fortunately they have a lot of respect for me and they've managed to make some inroads here and there, but phew is it tough for them and me both. I told my unmarried son, who would like to find the girl of his dreams and get married, that she's sure as shootin' not going to walk up to his bedroom door and say, "Hi. Let's get married." I don't know though, maybe that's just me.

I remind my son-in-law that my grandkids are not ever going to be as young as they are today. Turn around and they're grown, maybe with a 'Cat's in the Cradle' scene going on ("my boy is just like me"). He's fighting the attraction and doing fairly well, because his wife won't let him sink into oblivion for good. She's pretty strong-willed (gee, I wonder where she got that from? Must be from her mom ) and fights well, for a girl. She's willing to fight for their marriage, and fortunately he is too. Don't worry though, he's an ex-marine and able to defend himself adequately, for the most part.

I didn't do drugs, and my kids haven't, but this video game thing makes crack cocaine look like aspirin. I'm reminded often of Cheech and Chong's comedy routine - "Look at the lights." I think it's a spiritual attack - almost as if the TV screen and computer were invented specifically to neutralize entire nations, making them more like easy-to-control zombies. I shudder to think what might happen if we were invaded (ala 'Red Dawn').

Maybe having to feed money to the machine each time you play is a better idea. It certainly gave me positive feedback and kept me from getting addicted.

Is it just me, or is anybody else having difficulty getting the video to play?
