The title is a spoonerism. I love me a good spoonerism. :) New review video is up, and ripe for the watching.

Enjoy! (Oh, and here‘s where the video lives on the Linux Journal site — there’s lots more information there, and since I “point” to a link during the video, it really looks best from their site… ;) )

    Don’t forget to tell people to go watch it at linuxjournal.com. Oh, and also tell them to comment up a storm.

    Oh wait, I guess I just did :)

    Shawn, I don’t think yer link is werkin’.

    And, dammmmmm. That thing is HUUUUUGE! I’ve been trying to think of a really clever analogy, but all I can come up with is…’its like driving a really tiny thing with a really bigger thing.’

    How’s that for clever?

    Hmm… which link? They both seem to work for me. Maybe yur doin it rong. ;o)

    And yes, it’s really huge. And weighs over 20lbs! And it is like putting a saddle on a mouse. Or shooting a mosquito with a rocket launcher. Or, in fact, driving a really tiny thing with a really bigger thing. :o ) hehehe

    Thanks Anne. I really like doing them. The review thing looks like it’s going for the long haul with Linux Journal, so I’m pretty thrilled.

    I left a comment over on YouTube. Great review, I love your accent. And the console totally makes me feel nostalgic for old arcade games.

    Wow that thing looks awesome. It’s almost like it was meant to be dropped into a custom enclosure of some kind. My only fear is that if I get one I will set up a computer just for arcade games.

    Then I will want to make an actual arcade machine enclosure for it.

    I’m gonna have to buy this just to try playing virtua cop 2 with a track ball.

    Tania: Thanks. :) And if your initials are THC, I’m jealous, soooo many snickering jokes to be had there… (guessing based on your youtube username)

    Blarg: I do know a place that you can get step by step directions for free… ;)

    A lifetime of bad jokes to be had there. And, it’s legal under state law to have up to 4 oz for personal use. My parents used to grow it in the greenhouse in the back yard. Ah, the memories…

    Not bad. Your constant blinking is distracting. Stop it. :)

    Wow… I didnt’ watch, but ironically, I have pink eye now. (Just got back from the doctor’s office)

    I wonder if I was blinky because of oncoming pinkness. Or if I wasn’t blinky, and you were just messing with me. :)
