Life After Defender
Is it me, or are old-school video game record holders among the most fascinating people on the planet?
Ned Troide was singularly famous for scoring 72,999,975 points on the video game Defender, the highest score ever recorded, in a single session lasting 62 1/2 hours. What is less known is that he also created a curious set of Heavy Metal end tables.This quote is particularly telling:
Troide said the tables were the furniture he needed and that he didn't understand why they were not available for sale at the local furniture store.
The pieces of furniture are an AC/DC remixing machine, a Jack Daniels fountain and a hot dog roller/fake fireplace combo. Guys like Troide makes me proud of my Floridian heritage.

Guys like ned are fascinating but not from the standpoint you might think and I am not so sure you might be proud of this man.
