  1. Watching "Ted" and they are using Atari 2600 Donkey Kong sound effects. That has to be on purpose. Also the SMB screen was totally fake. 

  2. I'm happy with my Taito Egret 2 deluxe set purchase. No buyer's remorse.

      Oh Hell Yeah!!!  That is Awesome!  Is that the one with all 3 extra controllers?  And is there 2 more SD cards and 20 more games?  I assume you got the trackball/paddle games,  but what about that SD card vol. 2?  Just curious.  I may buy one of those yet...Love Space Invaders, Volfied, and all Arkanoid games!

      Yes, it's the "deluxe" package with the trackball + dial controller. 

  3. Has this happened to you? I'm on vacation. Went to Mikado, a lovely retro arcade in Tokyo. I saw a tourist speaking English(comes in loud & clear above the arcade noise) and heard "Angry Video Game Nerd". So we started talking about various retro gaming Youtubers and such. He's in DC, I'm in the twin cities, yet we both know people like Metal Jesus Rocks, and know the Pinball HoF game in Vegas is a total grumpster. The retro gaming Illuminati is alive across the globe. We need a secret handshake.
  4. My ThunderStick Ikari Warriors controller package came. Oh yeah!

      I didn't' know these exist.  Christmas present to myself!

  5. My new retro passion: adding CAT6 everywhere to the house. Ditched the old wireless router. WOW things suddenly work with a new router.

      Hardwire is the only way to go for fixed machines. I wish my firesticks had RJ-45 ports. I run a wireless mesh for outside, but all the buildings and cameras are hardwired. 

  6. Okay, I'm gonna toss something out of left field here. This picture frame was given to me. It has an SD card slot. Long story short, I've been trying to copy over movie files to it(er, music videos), but I can't get a single video to play on it. It never likes the codec. Okay, fair enough. I fire up FFMPEG, convert it to a lesser format it likes, and boom, works, right? So far, no luck on any codec. I looked through the manuals, but I'm not a codec expert to seemingly get the right command line parameters on ffmpeg to convert a file over. Can anyone help?
  7. Have the video game parodies of the Montgomery riverboat brawl popped up yet?

  8. Nice, this Batocera ZIP file really saved me some work.
  9. Lego's been killing it with retro gaming sets lately.
  10. I could only watch the Sonic the Hedgehog movie on shrooms. Only way to watch it without thinking about that incarcerated manchild who did tons of damage to Sega's(and Nintendo's) brand.

      BLARMS! :D

       

      Honestly, in this one, I don't really care about Sega and/or Nintendo.  What he did to his mother...  *shudder*

       

      Far, far worse than anything to do with gaming.  Inexcusable.  Predatory.  Disgusting.

  11. Anyone have any good close-up pictures of various angles of the PEB, dismantled & not? I'm trying to get a few details better.
  12. I got a wild hair, and started doing this in tinkercad. Anyone else a pro with 3D modeling? I'm envisioning a 3D printable scale model of the PEB, but with cards you can mount & unmount, and a drive you can slide in & out. Why? Pure boredom.
  13. The modern reboot of K-Mart adventures would have a "Karen", complete with "I wanna speak to the manager!" special attack.
  14. ANNOUNCEWMENT: I stand with Ukraine by not playing Chelnov Atomic Runner in MAME, or Crisis in the Kremlin. 

  15. Looking at this Amico launch/proposal is like trying to sell a horse & buggy in modern times.

      The horse-and-buggy niche is probably way larger. I do kind of want to play that moon patrol, but that's about as positive as I can be for now. I hope that at least gets released somewhere even if the console doesn't.

      I really want to play Cloudy Mountain... maybe the new Night Stalker and Shark Shark if the over-the-top graphics don't ruin it.  I'd totally buy these games for a few bucks on Steam or GOG. Hard to justify $300 for them, though.  I wished the Amico all the best and I was keeping my eye on it for sure.  You never know, maybe they'll find a way to pull through and I hope they do.
