I am not wrong about the power saving. You are just abusing the current. To truly save batteries you should remove them. That will also prevent damage from crappy leaky batteries in case you forget out your toy for a while.

pretty much what everyone else said. you only get one free sub. after that its each right vote earns one point, and it costs 3 to submit. vote on whatever you feel comfortable with
and of course, dont forget tg is a combination of both relaxed fun and extremely pedantic important fact finding.

its definitely power saving. if it doesnt power the equipment, it lasts. this aspect i've proven through testing and experience, its why i continue to do it.
so while you're wrong about it not extending battery life, you make an interesting point about damage. i hadnt considered that.

I'm Turned off by all companies, who don't reach a deadline they set. Don't set a date. It is pretty simple. No preorder here as much as I'm a Intellivision fan.

This is actually a really catch tune! Hats off to the performers.
The system won't be ready for prime time until 15th of April 2021 sadly. I am still very interested. This does not look like vapourware to me. Lets see who comes out first. Atari VCS or Amico. I look forward to reliving my youth, fighting over which system was better. Intellivision!!!
My favorite part of the King of Kong is Steve Weibe's drum solo. Here he does one an a regular size kit.
Arcade Culture: Donkey Kong Musical
Another highly entertaining adaptation of the King of Kong. These ladies really do a good job. The audience is in stitches.
KING OF KONG: THE MUSICAL is written by Amber Ruffin & Lauren Van Kurin and directed by Brendan Hunt Featuring Lauren Van Kurin and Amber Ruffin
Arcade Culture: It never stops being entertaining
What I find so interesting about the arcade world is the communities that have sprung up in support of ancient machines and games.Some of us grew up next to an arcade, some only heard about them from the old timers. But now they have made a comeback and people outside of the arcade world are contributing
