You guys need a new HOC game night logo...
Submitted by Swag on January 23, 2009 - 4:05pm.

I mean, why Sonic (or sega)?

If nobody wants to do it I could probably fix something up in Photoshop, but I am no graphic designer. And no, I wouldn't put any Nintendo stuff in it, it has to be an original Herd theme.

The reason for Sega and Sonic, is that the guys who started this trend are old fossils, and started gaming together back when the Sega was popular. At that time, I think you were still counting or eating your toes.

We could start a contest amongst the members, best new logo gets used for Game Night. Or better yet, get the kids of members to come up with a design.

that there was a far superior game system out at the time of Sega, and thats the Super Nintendo Entertainment System.

I remember playing Altered Beast on the Sega Genesis..
Submitted by Swag on January 24, 2009 - 12:35am.

I'm not that young.

And that game was awesome.

Coxxorz's picture
Pfffffff.
Submitted by Coxxorz on January 24, 2009 - 3:32pm.

I still have Altered Beast and my Sega Genesis.

Good times.

Swag's picture
Yeah?
Submitted by Swag on January 25, 2009 - 2:30pm.

Well I have an Atari 2600 with (among others) E.T.

I win.

Coxxorz's picture
You win?
Submitted by Coxxorz on January 26, 2009 - 2:08am.

If we're playing "Who has the oldest gaming system", then you most certainly do not.

Stormblade's picture
I think I win this one
Submitted by Stormblade on January 26, 2009 - 2:26am.

I still have my 1977 set-top box that played 'soccer' and 'tennis' (both of which evolved into versions of Pong). All in glorious black and white.

Coxxorz's picture
Is it THIS old?

Older
Submitted by Stormblade on January 26, 2009 - 8:42pm.

Don't have a photo handy, but it's a big, white monstrosity and, as I said, Pong came afterward.

Coxxorz's picture
Big and white...
Submitted by Coxxorz on January 26, 2009 - 9:30pm.

Must be the Coleco Telstar?

Stormblade's picture
Yes, that's it!
Submitted by Stormblade on January 26, 2009 - 11:28pm.

Ah, an old friend.

Coxxorz's picture
Then you lose.
Submitted by Coxxorz on January 27, 2009 - 12:02am.

Pong (and Super Pong) came out in 1975 (and 76, respectively). The Telstar wasn't until 1976 (I have both systems). But both were predated by the Magnavox Odyssey, which debuted in 1972 (Magnavox later successfully sued Atari).

Stormblade's picture
Actually, I was wrong
Submitted by Stormblade on January 27, 2009 - 1:08am.

While I did have the Coleco at some point, When you mentioned the name Odyssey I went to look it up. This was the first one I had, the Odyssey 200 so I guess it was 75 or 76. This was the white monstrosity I was talking about.

Coxxorz's picture
Cool.
Submitted by Coxxorz on January 27, 2009 - 2:08am.

Yes, it was 1975.

Mmmm... manual scoring.

At least in my case, I had a geek for a mother.

That kind of explains the relationship between Preston and Tammy. ( I kid, I kid...I am about half way BTW )

MauriceRevek's picture
Are you saying
Submitted by MauriceRevek on January 25, 2009 - 6:54pm.

That you are the one that bought E.T.?

Noir's picture
Damn E.T. is awesome
Submitted by Noir on January 26, 2009 - 3:11pm.

but totally screwed up. Swag and I both win for having it.

Swag's picture
Agreed
Submitted by Swag on January 26, 2009 - 7:48pm.

Having E.T. makes you a true gamer.

Snap, you're on a roll!

Yeah, I'd love to hold a logo contest... if I wanted a crayon drawing of Big Bird.

Let some of the heathens actually show up for a Sega Nite™ before they start messing with tradition.

Akuf's picture
I would
Submitted by Akuf on January 22, 2009 - 6:48pm.

Have been there
Especially since I saw you guys were playing Burnout.

But because I am deconditioning this week my energy levels have dropped below sea level.

Just ask Revek he kept me up beyond my bedtime because Best Buy has a crappy computer system. But hey that is what friends are for.

Next week?
I will be lifting again all be it submax but my energy levels will be up again. We can initiate Swag.

Of course if a member of my harem comes by...well, I will mute the mic this time.

Coxxorz's picture
No need to mute it
Submitted by Coxxorz on January 22, 2009 - 7:17pm.

Just keep it dry this time.

You'll never be ready!!!!

All you need is a credit card, car seat and some good friends to pick up the slack. All the other stuff is extraneous.

Stormblade's picture
Just to show that I am observant
Submitted by Stormblade on January 22, 2009 - 11:53am.

I noticed you changed the logo. Hopefully that was recent.

Of course, it could have been a year ago. I once went 4 years before noticing a massive painting in my house ...

Blackwalt's picture
Nope. Not observant at all.
Submitted by Blackwalt on January 22, 2009 - 9:37pm.

As it's not a recent change.

Not to mention that you haven't noticed the new graphic on the HoC awards page.

Stormblade's picture
In that case
Submitted by Stormblade on January 22, 2009 - 11:24pm.

I'm certain I haven't been back to the page since you changed it. I think even I would have noticed the spinning half-pint coin.

Coxxorz's picture
It's a medal!!!
Submitted by Coxxorz on January 22, 2009 - 11:37pm.

Not a coin.

Akuf's picture
hmmm
Submitted by Akuf on January 23, 2009 - 10:24am.

Isn't that what a medal is?
A large coin?

Stormblade's picture
Looks like a coin to me
Submitted by Stormblade on January 23, 2009 - 10:33am.

No slot for a ribbon on the top. Just a coin.
