On Seinfeld, George Costanza went to a lot of trouble trying to save his “world-record” 860,630 high score on Frogger using a gerry-rigged combination of caution tape, batteries, extension cords, and a guy named Slippery Pete. In the end, his Frogger was mowed down in the street.
If you’re a stickler for detail, that episode never seemed quite right because it wasn’t clear how they’d gotten the Frogger unplugged from the wall and plugged into the extension cord without powering the machine down.
Now with Wiebetech’s new HotPlug you can jack into the power lines or the power strip feeding your favorite video game machine and take it away. Here’s the video of the HotPlug in action:
