    fc mobile game console plays original nes carts on [technabob]

    I have a couple of brothers who will want this (if they can find the NES cartridges!).

    Quoted: I've seen plenty of Nintendo NES clone systems in my travels, but this is the first time I've seen a mass-produced portable that can play the actual cartridges from the classic 8-bit gaming system. The FC Mobile portable console plays original game carts from the NES wherever you go.

    Book lifts lid on star of eerie first Dracula film | Oddly Enough | Reuters

    Cool.

    Quoted: BERLIN (Reuters) - The first screen portrayal of Dracula was so eerie, some critics asked whether the actor himself could be a vampire. But since his death, little has been done to resurrect Max Schreck's reputation -- until now.

    Schreck is best remembered for playing the cadaverous vampire Count Orlok in F.W. Murnau's 1922 silent classic "Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror," the first, unauthorized cinematic adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel "Dracula."

    The rest of his career has been largely forgotten -- unjustly, in the view of German author Stefan Eickhoff, who has written what he says is the first biography of Schreck.

    "Whoever hopes to discover a vampire will be disappointed, but they will find an actor of real skill and versatility," said Eickhoff. "Yet he himself remains somewhat shrouded in mystery."
