MY RETRO GAMING CORNER officially complete ! ???

I consider my RETRO GAMING CORNER officially complete ! ???includes 14inch TOSHIBA CRT / ColecoVision w/ AtariMax Flashcart / Retrobit SuperRetroTrio (nes, snes, genesis w/ Everdrives for each) / TG-16 w/Everdrive ??as well, I can hook up the 2600 module to ColecoVision or even play Master System using the Everdrive on the RetroTrio. Happy covering 7 platforms with 3 consoles. Wanted to cover as many platforms with what I already have in the space I am limited to.      

Die Hard IS definitely a Christmas Movie (For me)

- IS DIE HARD A CHRISTMAS MOVIE? - Not a argument, debate or question though it comes up every year, but simply MY take. Traditional? perhaps not, though watching every holiday season since release has been my tradition and I feel something missing without it. For myself personally though it will always be a "Christmas" movie for me, beyond many of the arguments given either way, though it released months before in Canada the Christmas theme must of been strong even then as a friend and I went t

RE: My Tragic C64 incident

RE: Commodore 64. Reading a thread regarding a members current issues with the Vic-20 reminded me of this ? Once (I learned a lesson ? well, sort of) back in the early days, my first C64, the classic breadbox model, I loved it so, I even painted the case a cool shiny BLACK with spray paint. NOTE: Image show is not mine and included for descriptive purposes only. Sadly, I had more balls than knowledge and was always tinkering, wanting to see the guts of a machine etc. Do you know where this is go

SHADOWMAN games

?I've never finished it but I played the original SHADOWMAN first on the N64 followed by the DREAMCAST then years later the PC version (from STEAM or GOG I cannot recall) of course, each version had some minor improved visuals but here I am again this time playing the recently released REMASTERED version on PC. It runs great and though still incredibly dated it's the best it's ever looked. I like the atmosphere and it's somewhat a guilty pleasure game. Here's a couple grabs I took just now.

Rambling about PS1/PS2 bootdiscs, HDD backups, Cheat Devices etc

Rambling about PS1/PS2 bootdiscs, HDD backups, Cheat Devices etc ALSO some talk about Game Genie and some cool NES random codes I made ??     This is me rambling on for 30 minutes incoherently about PlayStation boot discs, cheat devices etc.?It was a totally unexpected spur of the moment video that I probably should not have made public, but I figure it also serves the purpose letting my YouTube subscribers know that I’m still alive.? I am sure much of the info is wrong

Happily Running Win 10 Insiders Preview on old hardware

??I like using one machine to opt-in for Windows Insider Preview Evaluation builds of Windows, WHICH machine do I use for this? Well, certainly not our main desktop (THE HUB OF MY WORLD ?) and certainly not our main Laptop which is a 17' Dell that Melissa currently uses as her daily driver working from home. Our third best machine / second best laptop is the HP Pavilion I found with just an AMD A6 with 8gb ram (I upgraded from 4) is pretty much MY go to when not on desktop so that leaves another

Hair grooming during self isolation.

So yeah, hair care IS a thing since we cannot go out and social distancing blah blah. I just recently SHAVED my beard off ? because I like to "reset" every now and then, let my face breath etc, it's cool, I will have 5 o'clock shadow by 3 o'clock again ? I mention this only because I am posting these silly low res images I took in Linux on one of my low end craptops recently and so you can see my before and after. I used a webcam effect in the after image because I was MAD LIKE HULK or something

Been a little sick (don't worry!)

I been suffering severe sinus issues past 3 days. FINALLY everything that was jammed up in my nasal passages released into my nose and I was able to blow it out, required much sudafed, inhalation and mostly ibuprofen and Tylenol because I get a severe sinus headaches from it, the first day really bad and painful but the next couple days even after doing everything still experiencing a constant low underlying headache which clearly was wearing me out. Today is the first day I actually feel relief
