No worries, you don't sound anything like feldman, not sure why I pictured you like that.  Anyway, keep the videos coming, good stuff!

Note- I wonder what the other RFN members sound like, any ideas?

His baldness is clearly the focus of this video. Since he can't actually use the paddle, the only takeaway is the fact that he's super bald. I mean, I wasn't aware of the paddle's existence until now, but I also wasn't aware of Jon's lack of hair, either. I'll consider getting the paddle when I see how it works (and maybe if Jon can grow hair) in his next video (I assuming it's coming), and consider it more then.


He's bald.
TVman is dead. I killed him and took his posts.

I BOUGHT THIS PADDLE. IT'S A WELL MADE PADDLE, NOT CHEAPLY MADE AT ALL. IT SPINS AND CAN BE USED FOR SPACE INVADERS, BUT LOL I DON'T HAVE SPACE INVADERS SO I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S GOOD OR NOT FOR SPACE INVADERS.

Hahaha.  Yeah, as I was saying "Well, I don't have Space Invaders yet..."  I realized the inherent silliness of this "look at my shiny paddle" video, but what the heck.  People were legitimately curious about it, so I figured I'd show them what it's like.

Don't miss my next video, in which I buy a new game, tear the plastic off of it, and then tell you that I'll film myself playing it later because I don't have a Wii yet.

He's bald.

Technically, I have hair (full head of hair actually), but I shave my head really close out of preference, because I look (even more) absurd with hair.  But I can live with bald.  I have big, bald shoulders to carry the weight.  Wait, what?

Ha Ha, has he been on RFN?  If so, what episode?

If I weren't as tired as I am right now I'd be busy photoshopping an image of Antonio Banderas as Zorro cutting the Majesco logo in something with his sword.

The only solace that I can take from this is that he directed Iron Man.

I have been called "Powder" and "Cancer Boy" in the past.  Note that I have never been called "Destro", although I think that would be really clever.

Actually, Mr. Freeze is new as well...respect.

And after all that you are still opting to be bald when you could grow out a full head of hair?

I don't have many.  This is the best I can do, and best believe it's suitably ridiculous.



So hirsute, so stoic, so...yellow.

The only thing to be embarrassed about in that pic is the streaks of brown running through the lawn, you're hair looks fine.  In fact, it looks like the type of hair where you'd be able to grow a decent fro.    8)

Have you received the actual game yet?  I'm getting my ### kicked w/o the paddle and wondering if I should purchase the peripheral.

Actually, I just checked on the order tonight.  No idea why Amazon is taking so long with this, but it says that it should be delivered between 07/23 and 07/29.

You're looking towards the future, like Obama!  Actually, I think the hair works.  You looked awesome with that afro in your Bob Ross costume for Halloween.

Hahaha, yeah, I remember that.  That costume was too hilarious.

If I grow the 'fro now, it looks ridiculous, thanks to my receding hairline and constantly-increasing grey hair count.  ***Welcome to your thirties, Lindy***

Whoa, whoa, whoa... what happened to that "full head of hair actually" you were touting not that long ago?

Anyway, using the picture you included as a comparison... I think you look better with hair personally.

Hey, just because I have hair doesn't mean my hairline isn't receding.  Having a receding hairline doesn't mean you're bald, it just means you're creeping up in the corners, if you know what I'm saying.

True, but I would say that a receding hairline =/= a full head of hair
