You took the joke of Engadget's bloggers and used it yourself.  That's really clever, that's never been done before.  Because, you know, Engadget uses that as their joke, so you see it a lot in posts.  It's funny, usually, because it's their joke and they use it with some consistency.  And now you've borrowed that joke and used it yourself!  That's just...Just so clever, to think of that and to use a joke that is funny when other people use it and hope to make it your own, shooting for that illusive "Highest Rated" comment.<br><br>Wow.  I don't know how you come up with it.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andrew]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2007 1:45PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/oscilloscope-turned-into-star-wars-playing-mame-machine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/oscilloscope-turned-into-star-wars-playing-mame-machine/</guid><description><![CDATA[Well i thought it was pretty apt considering this can emulate MAME... and thats not far from being actually being able to play Doom.

All he probably did was hook up a Zektor board (which already has a special version of MAME to play *any* color or black and white vector game). You can hook up a Zektor board to drive a b/w vector monitor, color, vectrex monitor, or a scope (as shown above). Nothing original here at all.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mogrinz]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2007 1:48PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/oscilloscope-turned-into-star-wars-playing-mame-machine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/oscilloscope-turned-into-star-wars-playing-mame-machine/</guid><description><![CDATA[It's not a scam, vector MAME has been around for years, it requires a hardware interface for the PC and is intended to drive a real vector monitor but there's no reason one couldn't use an oscilloscope. I regularly use my Tek 465 scope as a monitor when servicing Atari vector boardsets, techs have been doing that since these games came out.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[james]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 7th 2007 2:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on ]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/oscilloscope-turned-into-star-wars-playing-mame-machine/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/07/oscilloscope-turned-into-star-wars-playing-mame-machine/</guid><description><![CDATA[Why say it's "scam" when it sounds like you mean "he probably isn't a hardware wizard?"

Paper tape programming, 8K(!) memory, homemade operating system, O-scope vector display, etc.  If it was any older it would have been steam powered.  There was a test tech that wrote an AWESOME Star Trek shooter game for it!<br><br>McDuck]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[McDuck]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Dec 8th 2007 7:56PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
