A real Football shows distance thrown

It’s about time,  NFL-style football that can measure and display how far it has been thrown.So now the next time you throw a great touchdown pass you can show and brag about the distance accurately (rather than saying it went really really far).

Known as the Virtual Distance Football, the distance thrown is calculated by using sensors to detect when the ball is thrown and then the impact of a catch or fumble.

Product Detail:

  • Sensor accurately determines distance ball is thrown
  • Oversize readout shows distance
  • Comfort grip for throwing ease
  • Durable foam construction
  • Advanced electronics register a distance readout upon impact of the throw
  • Digital LCD display
  • Accurate to within 1 yard

Safety warning: This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard for young children.

The virtual distance football is available from Discovery for $13.97.

WARROCK CLAN LOOKS TO EXPAND

Warrock is a first person shooter, not for young children. It is very intense and has people from all over the world playing it.

Many players belong to “clans”, made up of players that love to play Warrock all the time. Game play is not for those who are novices and can’t shoot straight.

One such clan is xxborn2livexx (B.2.L) it’s leader is gangstabo0, chairman is smalls91. Trust me this clan rocks. They are a legit clan and none of them hack in anyway. They are always looking to get better and want to grow the clan. If you want more information email
xxborn2livexx@gmail.com

Oh by the way, I know something of this clan, it’s run by my two nephews, who run a clean clan. Both are excellent players who sometimes teach me some new tricks.

WARNING: The following game video may be to intense for children under 13.

The Atari joystick is back

I am an old school video game player, who misses his Atari 2600 system from the 80’s. I loved playing Asteroids or Pacman, but until now I had to use my keyboard/mouse on my PC to play the games. Now the wait is over, the gang at Legacy Entertainment made a classic controller that looks exactly like an Atari joystick, but it’s for Windows 98SE to Vista / Apple Mac OS X / Linux, and connects via Standard USB with no drivers required, just plug-n-play, up to 4 Joysticks to a single computer.

It should work with almost any game Emulator like MAME, Daphne, Stella, Atari ST, Amiga, C64 and others. Dig this, it will work with classic Atari system games like Atari Arcade Hits, Midway Arcade Treasures, Taito Legends, Dragon’s Lair 20th Anniversary and so many more.

So if you want some cool 80’s fun when graphics did not rule the games, but game play did, then get the Atari joystick. Only $14.99, http://www.legacyengineer.com/store.html. Want more classic game systems or games go to atari2600.com, were I found the largest online source for classic video games, systems and accessories.
