I’ve decided not to fight it any longer. You can find surface tension news and maybe a bit of other stuff too on the surfacetension twitter channel.

Real-world Pac man

There have been a couple of real-life Pac man videos in the past, but this one is by far the most genuinely funny. It’s Le Pac man running around le Supermarché.

Chat live with Steve Wiebe on CoinOpSpace

On April 2009 Steve Wiebe will be on Coinopspace.com, participating in a live group chat even with Donkey Kong fans and general coin-op enthusiasts.  Steve is the latest in a monthly series of live chat sessions that has seen the likes of Tim Skelly, Owen Rubin, Jeff Kulczycki and Brian Colin.

If you aren’t a Donkey Kong fan, and somehow have been living under a rock for the past two years, Steve Wiebe is one of the best Donkey Kong players in the world and starred in the movie King of Kong, a documentary about his quest for the top score.  Steve has one of the only 1,000,000 point scores ever recorded in public, and is one heck of a nice guy to boot.

Coinopspace.com is a brand new website for arcade, pinball and console enthusiasts to connect and share stories.  Coinopspace.com isn’t just a forum based website, but has every feature for sharing your collection and restoration hobby that you could possibly imagine.  There are advanced customizable profiles, photo hosting, a live chat section obviously, hosted blogs, videos and so much more.  In the coming months we hope to connect collectors with more arcade game and pinball creators to ask those questions about your favorite games you’ve been dying to know.

To participate in the Steve Wiebe chat you need to sign up for the website and then you can RVSP for the event at the following link.

Ask Steve all those questions you have after watching King of Kong, there may be no other better time!

Tim McVey going for new Nibbler record

I mentioned some time ago about the Nibbler record from back in the 80’s by Tim McVey. This was beaten earlier this year…

Anyway, he’s going for it again… hoping to get it in around 36 hours this time, instead of 44!

Not sure how long is left, but it’s well worth a look at the live feed…
