Now you can relive some of those old-school, Atari 2600 games right on your computer. And even better you can play some of your favorite Atari 2600 games online for free!

Games like Adventure, Asteroids, Battlezone, Crystal Castles, Lunar Lander, and even Yar’s Revenge.

I’m not sure if I was the only one, but I thought the "safe zone" in Yar’s Revenge was the coolest video game graphics I’d seen when I was a kid. Now it’s just a bunch of flashing squares on the screen. The challenge of the game is still fun though.

The Atari Arcade site let’s you choose which games you want to play and challenge the world with your own high score.

If you really want to rock it old-school, pick up this USB enabled version of the classic Atari joystick here.

Here’s a scene from this past week’s episode where one of the characters plays a clown for his nephew’s birthday party. In this scene he deals a little clown intimidation to a jerk at a gas station.

If you want to see more great scenes like that, just watch Modern Family on ABC on Wednesday nights.

This was one of those videos I waited for about 5 hours to download back in the mid-90’s when I first heard about it. It was hilarious then, but just shows how far along we’ve come with video on the web.

Hat tip to prebynski for sharing and reminding me

Taking footage from his upcoming tour rehearsals and other behind the scenes footage, they’ve produced a "THIS IS IT" movie. I’ll probably end up taking in the movie when it’s released. The man was a master. Observing his talent on the giant theater screen will be a great time.

Now, with the Ima Let You Finish website you can playfully interrupt anyone else you’d like with your own version of Kanye’s efforts. You can download a cutout of Kanye interrupting Taylor’s performance and add it to your own graphic or video to have some fun.

A friend of mine made this graphic after last week’s Indianapolis Colts win over the Miami Dolphins.

As un-classy as Kanye was in his actions, Beyonce made up for it by inviting Taylor Swift to come back up and share her acceptance speech again; this time without interruption. How many people think this will be THE thing that Kanye will be forever remembered for above and beyond his music?

The original story talked about a Honda commercial that I don’t remember ever even seeing on TV, and I love Honda cars. The most expensive commercials listed on this website are really entertaining, but are they worth it?

Let us know what your favorite commercial is and why. Did the commercial make you purchase something that was being advertised? After all, that’s the purpose right?

I guess it’s not really that important at all though. What’s really important is me knowing what I like in a movie. My interests are so varied though, I’ve seen so many movies, I’m not sure I could really tell you what I like. There was a time in my life (when I was single) where I would spend an entire Saturday in the theater watching movies back-to-back.

The Criticker website allows me to go through all the movies I’ve watched and rate them. It then takes those scores and recommends other movies to me that it believes I would like based on my ratings.

Criticker has more than just movie recommendations though, there’s also a nice social community around the site. What good intentioned site these days wouldn’t have a social community component anyway?

Criticker aims to match you with the people who share your taste in film most exactly. By using the Taste Compatibility Index (TCI), you can identify with whom you most agree, out of thousands. It’s more than just movie recommendations: you’re paired with the people whose tastes are most compatible with your own, and thus get the most accurate advice possible.

If you’re bored tonight and looking for something to do this weekend. Sign-up with Criticker and rate a few movies, then get a list of recommendations on what to watch this weekend.

Sam Hornish junior had lost control of his car and then caused a chain reaction of events that sent Jeff Gordon’s 24 car directly into the wall at what appeared to be a straight, perpendicular hit to the wall. It wasn’t a glancing blow.

It’s good to see that both drivers are okay other than being a bit beat-up and bruised, with the exception of Gordon injuring his back. This was perhaps one of the worst looking crashed I’ve seen in quite awhile.

A very funny combination of two of my favorites. This makes me want to find and edit my own videos combining my favorites and getting the best of both worlds.
