Atari

Hi. I'm posting again.

It's been a while, so... Yeah.

School is... Evil... But you all know my opinion on school...
Unless you don't.
If you don't, I think school is extremely stupid and can be redone to a much higher, better standard.
But that's just my opinion.

Anyways...

So, an Atari came in the mail. It's all set up in the garage. And I'm playing it more than I've played Xbox in the past week or two. River Raid is an awesome game an I love it. Asteroids is pretty cool too but it's SO EASY. And we have other games like Berzerk, Combat, Super Breakout... And others.

It's weird having only one button on the controller. See, I'm used to the two joysticks, 4 other buttons, triggers and bumpers. There's a lot of switching and fingers moving. With the Atari, it's pretty much just the endurance and speed of your thumb pressing that single red button. And of course the one joystick. Honestly, it's hard to call it a joystick. It's like a stick that presses other buttons as it leans. You have North, East, etc. and the other 3 in between each. Like North, North-north east, north east, east north or whatever, and east. Nothing in between. Imagine trying to play Zuma without propped accuracy, or Call of Duty without that sensitive aiming.

But the way the games work make it okay. Like River Raid. All you really need are the controls given. It's good the way it is.

And don't get me started on the poor pixelated sound quality.

Or Super Breakout. That game is just flat out boring. And I despise it.

So... I'm not sure what else to say here.

Yeah.

Enjoy your day?
