Episode 459 – Pinball on Both Coasts – 7/26/18
We record a little earlier this week as Jeremy’s about to head to Pittsburgh for an annual pinball convention, and the Tested team prepares for the California Extreme classic arcade convention this weekend. We discuss pop culture and technology news, and recap Comic-Con announcements. Plus, a Moment of Science taste test!

“Addictive” and “addicting” are both words, but “addicting” is usually used incorrectly. Kishore used “addictive” accurately.
The thing with remote rendering/processing and streaming to a box in your house, it means that Microsoft will be able to end the local hardware’s life by turning off servers.
Southern Hemisphere pays off again. I’m planning to get up to have a look at the eclipse tomorrow morning.
“The eclipse won’t be visible because the sun is too bright” Come on you can do better that that. The eclipse is not visible in the US because it’s when the moon goes in the shadow of the Earth, and that’s what we usually call night. The eclipse is not visible in the US because you’re pointing at the wrong side of the sky when it happens

Adding to the Icee/Slurpee beverage discussion, here in Europe Iv’e never heard of Icee, but we do have Slurpees… and also the better one… Slush Puppies. Here too, pretty much the same thing, but Slush Puppie is way better. It’s also a lot cooler since it has an awesome mascotte.
I do have to mention that I haven’t had either in decades, and can’t remember the last time I actually saw a machine for either. But I imagine Slush Puppie will come out the ultimate victor in an all out brawl 🙂
Continuing the Slurpee, Icee, Shaved Ice debate I have recently launched an Italian Ice company down in Los Angeles. Italian Ice is a very East Coast treat that just hasn’t been well replicated out West. We use no artificial preservatives, no food coloring and no artificial flavors. I would love to send the team a care package to taste on the podcast!
