Guess he took the meaning of "here's a quarter, now go play in the freeway" to a whole new level eh?
GAME OVER, PLEASE DON'T INSERT COIN.

Cops: Man playing IRL "Frogger" got hit by an SUV
<Nach> so why don't the two of you get your own room and leave us alone with this stupidity of yours?

Re: Cops: Man playing IRL "Frogger" got hit by an SUV
What the hell has to be wrong with someone to do that? I can't even fathom the chain of thoughts that led up to planning and performing those actions.
I am reminded of the time George Costanza in Seinfeld wants to transport a Frogger machine from some arcade to his house, to preserve his high score, so he does his own game of Frogger across a busy city street. He doesn't get hit, but the machine gets trashed.

Frogger doesn't even have battery-backed high scores! He lost his score when he unplugged it!paulguy wrote:What the hell has to be wrong with someone to do that? I can't even fathom the chain of thoughts that led up to planning and performing those actions.

What? I expect shows set in the real world to at least TRY to get real world stuff right.

He powered it with a car battery while transporting it, didn't he? assuming the power supply was 12VDC, he could reasonably put the battery in parallel with the supply output, then unplug it, and keep it running.Gil_Hamilton wrote:Frogger doesn't even have battery-backed high scores!

Internet says Frogger needs 5V and 12V both.

Re: Cops: Man playing IRL "Frogger" got hit by an SUV
Couldn't you put a voltage regulator in parallel with the battery so you can have the 5V supply?
like, put the game in parallel with the car battery (using all 12v on the 12v input), then put the voltage regulator also in parallel with the car battery, set it to 5v, and then connect it to the 5v input?

Hey, if they used a car battery, I'm happy. They at least TRIED to get it right.

Re: Cops: Man playing IRL "Frogger" got hit by an SUV
I love how a discussion about an idiot (which we all know we loathe and despise here) turns into a discussion on how to make the frogger arcade deck portable..
also kode, Gil has a point. if you're going to set a TV show/movie/whatever in the real world, at least try and get real world logic/physics/etc correct..
