Will the ATARI VCS be similar to our SEGA Streamcast concept? Hmmm
The idea we had for a Sega Streamcast idea... was similar to a Steam Link, but it had its own interface, classic games built-in, discounts on Sega games for every owner of the unit and a way to stream movies (via Netflix, etc). It really sounds like it, but if its Linux based and they're leaving the door open to more... it may be the system for Linux users. One thing about Linux users, they may not get as much mainstream love... but they support those who show love to them (not just superficially).
If the Linux base was the main reason ATARI surpassed its $100,000 goal by over 2000% placing it in a multimillion-dollar pond of crowdfunding success... I'm not surprised. It could be based on the interest most may have in the modifications if it's truly customizable. If the ATARI VCS is something that allows you to swap out memory cards, graphics cards, and all that good stuff... it could truly be a different type of system worth the purchase (if its solid). If it's similar to a Steam Link or more so a Steam Machine... I wouldn't consider it competition to the big 3 at all... and that wouldn't be a bad thing. Right now it's still an enigma to most, but once they show and prove what it will be in its final form... that will help me determine whether its a yay or nay. I'll leave you with the video. Game on!

Top 20 Cities for Gamers in the USA?!
With the Electronic Entertainment Expo 2018 drawing large crowds June 12-14 and the gaming industry bringing in over $100 billion per year globally, the personal-finance website WalletHub today released its report on 2018’s Best Cities for Gamers.
To determine the best places to be a serious gamer, WalletHub compared the 100 largest cities across 20 key indicators of gamer-friendliness. The data ranges from average internet speed to video-game stores per capita to the number of esports tournaments.
| Top 20 Cities for Gamers | ||||
| 1 | Seattle, WA | 11 | San Diego, CA | |
| 2 | Orlando, FL | 12 | Columbus, OH | |
| 3 | Atlanta, GA | 13 | Boston, MA | |
| 4 | Austin, TX | 14 | San Francisco, CA | |
| 5 | New York, NY | 15 | Portland, OR | |
| 6 | Irvine, CA | 16 | Pittsburgh, PA | |
| 7 | Los Angeles, CA | 17 | Jersey City, NJ | |
| 8 | Las Vegas, NV | 18 | Anaheim, CA | |
| 9 | Raleigh, NC | 19 | Madison, WI | |
| 10 | Fremont, CA | 20 | San Jose, CA | |
Best vs. Worst
- Las Vegas has the most video-game stores per square root of the population, 0.0306, which is 20.4 times more than in Long Beach, Calif., the city with the fewest at 0.0015.
- Fremont, Calif. has the highest average download speed, 69 Mbps, which is 4.1 times higher than in Buffalo, N.Y., the city with the lowest at 17 Mbps.
- Gilbert, Ariz., has the highest share of households with a broadband connection, 95.9 percent, which is 1.6 times higher than in Laredo, Texas, the city with the lowest at 59.6 percent.
- Durham, N.C., has the cheapest monthly internet cost, $43.43, which is 2.4 times cheaper than in Anchorage, Alaska, the city with the most expensive at $102.54.
Seeing Orlando, FL as the number 2 city for gamers... according to WalletHub's study... is pretty cool (we call it home, so... that deserves a OORAH)! The most shocking is California not being in the top 5, but Cali dominates as far as having the most cities on the list.

Stomp Rocket: 3 Stunt Planes... Reviewed!
This is a major duh, but... this toy actually works. Does it work well? That's the question.
By the way, I have a fun idea for owners of Stomp Rocket to try out!!!
If you like to get outside and/or have a huge indoor area, this is a nice addition to your toybox!
Out of the box you have 3 stunt planes that give you a variety of moves, a launch stand, an air hose, and a launch pad. I personally wouldn't call the launch pad a "launch pad"... because a launch pad is usually the thing that the aircraft launches from. I won't put too much thought into the name, but if it were me i'd name it "the... Launcher". The image you see here is a rocket on the air hose that's on the launch stand that's connected to the launch pad.
Here's a better view of the items in the Stomp Rocket: 3 Stunt Planes package.
The Glider Stunt Plane can glide over 100 feet... no lie. We've been dealing with rain on top of rain... on top of rain recently, so I haven't been able to really get these out as often to play with them but with the iffy weather came some good wind.
If you don't have a field, beware (they also warn you in the instructions to avoid rooftops and trees).
The Looper Stunt Plane will take you for a loop with big and small loops. Probably my least favorite one, but... it's cool.
The Wildcat Stunt Plane is easily my favorite. The glider is very cool (and I'm not hating on the Looper), but when this is in action... it's a lot more unpredictable. The addition of the wind coming from the front, back... or the side of these planes will make them switch up... but this is the "Stunt" plane for me. It flips, turns, and soars.
A fun suggestion:
I know the package says ages 5 - 12... but this can honestly be used by adults also, so join your kids for a game of real-life tanks. Remember the game "Tanks" where you and another player... or a CPU take shots at each other from across the field? You can take that concept and use it with Stomp Rocket's Glide Plane... just grab some empty water bottles or some blocks and send planes at each other. It would be cool to learn the right trajectories based on the wind or a lack thereof to knock over the other person's bottles or blocks.
This product targets the children interested in STEM (and of course parents who want them to partake in STEM). STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. You can use the product with or without the wind blowing, just to see the various ways these planes react. The rain has been off and on here... but I definitely plan on getting back outside soon.
Now when it comes to the quality of the product i'll sum it up in two words... Good Stuff. The launch stand is serious quality, its solid and has weight to it (you don't want to get hit by this thing). The stands feet spin out for stability, and the good thing about them not being stuck in one position is the fact that you can adapt to the ground.
The planes are nice quality too (maybe not as solid as the stand but)... they can slam into the ground or hit a wall (or even someone's car that I don't know but that's between you and me) and they'll remain in one piece... ready for another flight.
The price is $29.99 for the package and... I'm not mad at it. The sweet spot to me would've been $25 but its priced well because the quality is there and it works well. No assembly and no batteries required. I'm just thinking of $25 in terms of being a sweeter price point for impulse purchases, and... if you're a grandparent who has 4 grandkids, that's $100.
Overall, this is a quality product that I enjoyed playing with and I'm sure there are plenty of kids who will enjoy it. Kids will have to put a bit more oomph into making the planes launch with a similar force to what I produced... but from my experience, Stomp Rocket: 3 Stunt Planes works (well).
