Videogame Remake of 1986's World Series Game 6 174
Carl Bialik from WSJ writes "Even non-baseball fans must concede that the re-creation of the bottom half of the 10th inning of Game Six of the 1986 World Series, using the original broadcast audio and a replay with Nintendo's RBI Baseball, took enormous dedication. 'Something like the Keith Hernandez at-bat, where he flies out to center, took like 200 attempts,' Creator Conor Lastowka told WSJ.com. Though it wasn't quite as hard as it looks: 'Thanks to the emulator software, each time Mr. Hernandez's at-bat strayed from history's script, Mr. Lastowka was able to replay from the previous at-bat. Using a computer rather than an actual game console like a PlayStation allowed Mr. Lastowka to save his progress along the way. He built his precise Game-Six replica bit by bit -- not in one flawless, improbable take.' Before he made the viral video, Lastowka was jobless; three days after its release, he had a job with a classic-films company."

Hmm? You mean like a Nintendo?
And can I get a supersubmitter account like the WSJ has? I have some regurgitated news with ads, too.

It RUINED Buckner's life, although the rest of the team bore responsibility too, for not fighting back. Eventually Buckner had to move from Boston, because of abuse by fans, and then to Canada, to try to escape the taunts he heard every day.
But one day, it became too much for him, and suicide seemed to be his only option. On a street in downtown Toronto, he stepped in front of a bus.
It went through his legs.

so what you're saying is we'll be seeing this again in a few days when the other takes get approved as dupes?
