Mountain Middays - Daily Dose of Weird April 28, 2014- Atari's E.T. Dumpsite Found

I had only ever heard rumors about this! 

Over the weekend (Saturday) search parties working on a video game documentary found the legendary dumpsite of Atari’s ‘E.T. the Extra Terrestrial’ video game. This Atari game cartridge is almost mythical because as the story goes the video game is so bad that it’s makers wanted to wipe it from history.  

Hundreds of thousands of copies of the E. video game were unearthed over the weekend (April 26, 2014) in New Mexico’s desert. It’s an odd story and I am very happy it is true. It is kind of like a modern day treasure hunt!  I am happy I was not there in the desert, waiting to dig up and play the game; but I am happy the mystery is somewhat solved.

South Park: The Stick Of Truth

There are few things I am excited about right now, to be honest with you.

Today is the last day of our vacation and it is back to cold Canada early tomorrow morning and bye-bye to sunny (well, sunny today) California.

Other than hitting the gym this is the only thing that has me excited to go north. ‘South Park: The Stick of Truth’ is finally going to be released tomorrow. This is a big deal because of all the crap and tentative release dates that have happened over the past months only for the game to end up being delayed. Tomorrow it finally happens.

Get ready; I am going to full-on nerd girl over this. Don’t bother trying to call or text after 6pm. I’ve got a date with the stick of truth.
