Just picked this up on Amazon, I highly recommend the paddles. They alone are worth the price. They do feel more stiff than the originals, but to me they control much better.

Rest in Peace Bob Smith, creator of one of my favorite childhood games, Video Pinball. From Atari he went to Imagic to make the amazing Dragonfire and many others. By all accounts a very kind and friendly man, he will be greatly missed.

Today is the 10th anniversary of my podcast. Many podcasts do not make it this far, but I'm not going to pretend it's all been rosy. My mental health has deteriorated quite a bit since I've started. I've gained a lot of weight in the last few years, which has contributed to many of the physical problems I'm experiencing now. There is a part of my heart and my brain that wants to keep this going. It has shrunken over time, but all of you are helping me to expand it. I have been very lucky to have you as friends and listeners, without you and all of your kind words, I would never have made it this far. I thought I didn't want to continue; I just wasn't aware how much this podcast has seeped into my being. It will be slow going I'm afraid, but the episodes will come. All of you mean the world to me and I love you all very much. Thank you for helping me do this show for 10 years!
