Ducktales, Double Dribble, and Blades of Steel should be on there to damn it.
Hopefully it will have an expansion option so companies like Konami could release things like that to them.

Hedge's greatest accomplishment was setting the Ms Pacman high score on the machine in the Orange Bowl pizza place in Packwood Mall in '82

It wasn't Ms. Pacman, although I enjoyed that too, it was the original Pacman. That had to be a money maker for whoever came up with it. A game that has a knob that you jerk back and forth, left and right, they had a built in market of every pubescent male in the country...

I am stunned at how competitive colleges are.
My daughter is doing very well on taking the ACT /SAT.
We got her SAT scores back today as a sophomore and I went to this website called collegesimply.com that shows you the average SAT /ACT scores for major colleges and the % chance you have of getting in on your current score.
Now mind you, ACME School of Cosmetology types aren't on there - they list the more desirable places but its pretty deflating to see these percentages.
I've got a young woman from Berkeley in my group. She's a damn airhead but she must have got a 1560 or so on the SAT looking at this website

Hardly anybody around here gets into Carolina anymore (cue AfAm jokes). I guess DS just made it in under the wire before they really started cracking down...

it really is deflating for me
here I am pushing my daughter - in a supportive way- not the boy's make you runs laps kinda way (different strokes)
and I think she's killing it and then it hits me like a ton of bricks that there are thousands - hell - hundred of thousands of kids out there killing it in the uber competitive nature of this right now.
so that does beg the question - how in the hell does an average moron like me who is 18 make it in the world today? I guess I would be an electrician.

Just let her be a kid. Stop with the pressure. If she ends up at UC Blue Ash learning how to clean teeth so be it. It's not like you need a college education anymore to stake your claim in this world.
