Hmmm.

I haven't had people over in ages.

I was thinking about possible party ideas, and one occurred to me...Retro Games Night.

I'll be home for three months (nearly), with only one trip, so this is a perfect time to have a little get-together. I have lots of obsolete game systems, complete with plenty of games. I have an Atari 2600, an Intellivision, an Odyssey 2, Pong, NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis (CD), Turbografx 16, along with Gamecube & PS2 (I may run out and get Xbox tomorrow with Fable). The Atari games are absolutely hysterical. You just have to see the Indiana Jones one to realize how misguided movie-to-video-game ports used to be.

Anyway, I thought...I'll pull the two TVs into the living room, set them up with all of these systems, and have all the games nearby, and we can just swap off systems all night long and drink.

Does this sound like fun, or does it sound idiotic?

hmm... when are you going to do it and is there an offer of a couch for sleeping involved?

I will probably do it in the beginning of January, and there is a fold-out couch that would love to be of service. :)
