The coolest guy you never heard of.


Need For Speed. HALO. Grand Theft Auto. All owe their creation to one guy: Ralph H. Baer, the inventor of the first video game. Of course I’m talking about Pong, bitches. Grand Daddy of them all. I got one for x-mas when they first came out and were the size of a scanner. For $99, you got two knobs, a cable and a dream. Take a look at the inventor profiled here. He’s the reason half of America has carpé tunnel* sydrome. Ain’t it great? Found courtesy of a new york thing. Check them out too.

* Latin for seize the controller.
