GDT: Jets vs Preds Round 2 Game 1 - Apr-26th, 7pm - "Level 2"

[GeorgeJETson]

I just noticed you have me as third in points....I think the only game I ever played was pac man!!!

Jets in 6!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I probably just missed taking in the top 10, and landed somewhere around 578.

Awesome GDT again!

Jets win tonight 10-8 with an empty net.

Regardless of the results, it is April 27, and it is far better to be worrying about this...

Agreed...

Honestly, though. That day was pretty awesome too lol.

It was, but if this team never participates in the draft lottery again, I'm more than OK with that.

I remember playing space invaders in high school right when I was coming into drinking age. Some of us used to go to the bar at lunch to play table top version (with the joystick....the button version sucked) I remember being taught how to beat the game. If you shot exactly 15 shots before killing your first space ship that ran across the top you would guarantee 300 points. Then you would shoot exactly 13 shots between every other spaceship and you would get 300 points every time. One of us always had the high score there but someone would unplug it and erase the list from time to time. It would take one play to reach the top again.

When I would play the same game at the same bar at night people watching would always wonder how I was so lucky to get 300 points every time I killed a space ship. We never told the secret.


I don't do video games anymore but I remember when I loved them

Hey! Spoiler Alert buddy!

Hark! Who would spank a Yellow’d feline,
Long of the tooth, suffering the vagarities
Of a desperate and desolate existence?
Buff, Lurch, and the Tanev’d buzzsaw.
Aye - consider now ye, the mustard tigers -
Who grunt and sweat under a weary life,
Ever in need of the litter box - incontinent,
Bearing that ghastly shred of a miscolour’d jersey,
In the undiscover’d country of south central,
From whose bourn, no true ice lives,
And it puzzles the hockey’d soul.
Laviolette, his visage haunted,
Tries to ladel cilantro with a sickly mustard-splatter'd spoon,
To thus encourage PK’s judgement, for the trip and slash;
For which chicanery has become infamous,
And bear the whips and scorns of many a-board,
But to this dark art, he comes too late.
And Rinne, here’s a drink to the proud man’s confusion,
And to the insolence of Helle Boy as he spurns thee
To the patient merit of the third line’s checks,
And Fly and Pate themselves might riotous make
With a tally between of three skins?
And shall we thus increase Shuffles’ due of icetime?
And paint that o’er with the strong cast of hatties brought,
And the enterprises of Farmleague, Stats and Wheels
And disregard the mustard forays which turn awry,
And lose the name of action.—Run you kittens,
And be driven before us.

Hey, what's that girl doing in the arcade?

Great GDT Zhamnov!

Ah the memories... I played a lot of Donkey Kong, Galaga, and Asteroids at the local arcade.

Then I got a ColecoVision for Christmas and hogged the only TV in the house! Good times.

That was a Awesome to indeed. I’ll always remember that as my best bud and I were getting our drink on for a George Thorogood concert and were dancing like little girls as we got the Liane slot. Trevor Linden looked like he lost his favourite dog! LOL

This thread brings back memories, I remember as a kid I would steal my dad's quarters from his work desk and I'd walk down to the 7-11 off Lakewood and Weatherstone to play this game, if I had unlimited quarters I would have spent my entire day at that 7-11 playing the game. Great post Zham as always!

Boys need to bring it especially in the Preds barn. Go Jets Go!

Aye - consider now ye, the mustard tigers -

Ever in need of the litter box - incontinent

So perfect - it's a thing of beauty. These pre-game soliloquies crack me up - well done.

I'd love to see the Jets take both games in Nashville, but that's an extremely tall order. Split them and come home 1-1 and I'd be ecstatic. This series is likely to be epic - two very, very strong teams.

Go Jets!

 

[Howard Chuck]

Awesome GDT as usual! I was in trouble all through school because of pinball and later video games. Throw in a pool table or two and it leads to a very disrupted school life

Yayy, I'm fourth in points!

I don't know why I have this feeling that the Jets are going to look way better than the Preds tonight and steamroll them.

 

[Channelcat]

Dragons Lair was amazing. In the days of sprites, here comes the laser disk. Mind blowing. The gameplay might have sucked, but it didn't matter. And this is 1983!

Thanks! I really enjoy this schtick.

I would love to see two W's for the Jets in Nash... a tall order but not out of the realm of the possible.

EDIT: I reworked Laviolette a bit, who has now heard of cilantro:

I'm glad you enjoy posting them, because I enjoy reading them!

Im gonna watch this game with a case of beer, just in case I need it.

Good job Zham, a little too young to be part of the arcade gen. But I do remember as a very young kid going there with my elder brothers - I did own most of the arcade games later when they came out on different gaming devices tho.

Go Jets Go

So if Maurice can feed cilantro to Lemieux at next season's training camp, he will be able to step up to the Jets? I look forward to it.

 

[koth]

I'm so nervous!!

 

[QuietContrarian]

Love the GDT! Love video games! Below are a couple of pics of one of mine in the man cave.

I’ve actually been describing the playoff series to one one my boys in the context of a video game and that the Jets have made it to “Level 2”.

What's the nightly rate?

 

[kylbaz]

Jets in 4, let's go!

 

[Hammer Slammer]

I'm going over to my parent's place to get a home-cooked meal in. Even if the Jets lose, I still win.

Ya that game took alot of my money too just because it was so cool .

 

[SLAYER]

P U M P E D.

Hope the Jets come out flying like they did in game 5, and really take charge. This series is gonna be a treat.
