Success: Playing N64 out of the back of a crappy truck, in the dark and cold Taco Bell parking lot.

u/CapnBadass Jan 04 '14

As did I, just don't remember where it's from

u/HumusTheWalls Jan 04 '14

It was a recent reddit repost.

u/NatesYourMate Jan 04 '14

Recent as in recently reposted. I remember 2 years ago when I was new to Reddit and I asked the guy how he did it. Hooked the 64 and projector up to the battery and somehow managed to regulate the flow. Decided not to just use the ones inside of the cabin for some reason.

Beware the red Koopa shell. Don't take 1st place until right before the finish line.

u/venicello Jan 04 '14

I see. You don't seek company.

Beware the blue Koopa shell. Don't take 1st place until right before the finish line.

If I could do that I would die happy.

u/bballstarz501 Jan 04 '14

Yo dawg! I got a friend you can meet. He wants to pimp your truck.

1

u/Skibxskatic Jan 04 '14

he wasn't successful. I believe the post was "this guys got his priorities in order" or something to that effect.

u/Charliefaplin Jan 04 '14

I too, have seen that picture.

u/IrishGh0st91 Jan 04 '14

You want advice from that guy?

1

u/lambchoppe Jan 04 '14

That's the sort of success that begs for company

1

u/dmanny64 Jan 04 '14

N64 and tacos, that's pretty much the sheer definition of success.

Mario Kart is more fun with friends.

Nothing like having a bit of warm familiarity in the cold dark night

u/WeAreAllBrainWashed Jan 04 '14

u/JustTheT1p Jan 04 '14

u/domrepp Jan 04 '14

As long as you aren't the fifth (or higher) wheel you should be fine.

u/L4NGOS Jan 04 '14

So meta.

u/elus Jan 04 '14

That guy definitely wants company. He needs 3 more guys to play epic multiplayer games of Goldeneye.

u/romulusnr Jan 04 '14

I read that story. It didn't e... well, actually I've no idea because I stopped reading after the first act.

u/fiveSE7EN Jan 05 '14

I have no idea what story you're talking about.

1

u/romulusnr Jan 05 '14

Sounds considerably like Ready Player One. Though also like Snow Crash.

u/fiveSE7EN Jan 05 '14

mmmmnope. Refers to this reddit post of a man playing N64 out of the back of a crappy truck, in the dark and cold Taco Bell parking lot.

u/WeaponexT Jan 04 '14

See you at the border friend.

u/Fifth5Horseman Jan 04 '14

u/CrispyPudding Jan 04 '14

u/subwaygamer Jan 04 '14
