  1. Watching the original Bat-Man serial from the 1940s. Wow ... is Bats the epitome of unheroic in this.

  2. Anyone got any good recommendations for a Tandy Co Co 3 emulation for Mac OS X or Raspberry Pi?

  3. Really wish someone would port the Jaguar CD game, Baldies, to iOS. I'd love to play it on the iPad.

      I'm sure the ios development community will get right on that :)

      Maybe through emulation, you could get one of the other ports on your iPad:

      You could vote to have it come to GOG. The mouse-driven PC version would be better suited to touch than the D-pad controller of the Jaguar.

       

      OR you could play a different realtime strategy game instead ... heh

  4. Managed to avoid hair loss so far with my chemo treatment, but it seems my time is up now.

      Chemo is rough stuff :( Hope you recover quickly! Positive thoughts!

      Thank you all for the very kind words and positive thoughts. Life is never dull haha

  5. The Tandy Color Computer had such awesomely shameless knockoffs! Quest for Thelda, Rastann Warrior King, Gantelet ...

      I saved up money to buy Gantelet, and it was great!

      This is making me want to dig out my CoCo stuff again.

    4. DracIsBack

      DracIsBack

      Alas - I sold my CoCo years ago for space reasons. Still looking for a good Mac or Raspberry Pi emulator that handles all models, particularly the 3.

  6. I'm liking that Cris Cyborg and Holly Holm are just there to fight. Not a lot of grandstanding, not a lot of "look at how great I am", not a lot of "look at how terrible she is" ... just fight. That's sportsmanship

    1. AtariBrian

      AtariBrian

      I would like to see that fight I won't pay that much to see it .

    2. DracIsBack

      DracIsBack

      I do too. I think Cyborg will take it ... as long as she doesn't make the mistake of letting herself get kicked hard in the head. But should be entertaining. I have respect for both of them. They're there for the sport and work hard without grandstanding

      Are they the stars of a new Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots movie?

  7. So far finding more success with Facebook for Sale groups than Kijiji. Now if only they had a "make an offer" function

  8. Thinking Plex is mostly terrific, but when it fails in some way, it's usually pretty spectacular and frustrating

  9. Deep thoughts from my childhood - why didn't the Mighty Hercules just leave the ring on his finger?

  10. Our 14 year old Chesapeake Bay Retriever finally crossed the rainbow bridge this past Monday. Boy, the house seems lonely and empty now. Miss my big old cement headed dog.

      Sorry for your loss, Drac. :(

      I'm really sorry for your loss. Last year at this time, our cat died from a cancerous tumor that grew inside her jaw. Our cat had been to the vet two months prior for a 'get well' check up, and she was given a clean bill of health. So imagine my wife and I's surprise when we learned about that tumor. Our dog is young and still going strong, thankfully!

      Yeah so sorry brother!

  11. The Apple TV and the Raspberry Pi seem to want to fight with each other over control of the TV

      It's a food fight. Ugh, sorry bad joke.

  12. Bentley Bear now in Austin Texas! Hopefully not too much longer!

  13. Fans of classic rock bands are often divided when a new singer comes in to replace a famous one. But wow - Foreigner fans may be the most vicious this side of Van Halen! Ouch!

      Awww - look at you, acting as though your condescension is a public service, Drac.

       

      Lighten up bro, it ain't that serious.

  14. Web OS, MeeGo, BlackBerry 10 and Windows Phone all had some really neat ideas. But without apps, they all ended the same way. Bummer, because more competition helps everyone.

    1. Osgeld

      Osgeld

      web os and windows phone (pre 7) had a lot of good features and speed on what is now laughable hardware

  15. Bentley Bear's Crystal Quest will be mine!!!!

  16. Enjoyed the new Spider-Man movie. Kudos to the producers for trying something different

      It's a fun time at the movies. Michael Keaton was great.

      I didn't care for it, I guess I liked the Garfield ones too much. I'm still disappointed they cancelled those to shove spidey into the avengers universe.

    3. DracIsBack

      DracIsBack

      Fair enough. To be honest, I wasn't a huge fan of the Garfield movies and was glad that they didn't try to do the same variant yet again.

  17. RetroPie is cool, but it still feels like it's made by nerds, for nerds.

      I feel for you Drac. I'm not cool enough for Raspberry Pi either. =(

      I figured it out some time ago.. and have already forgotten.

  18. My theory is that Apple extends their OS upgrades to devices one release longer than they should, in order to make the device so atrociously slow that people are 'encouraged' to upgrade.

      And I still don't own a single Apple product.

      After almost 5 years, my iPhone 5 still works fine as an actual phone, and as a music player. That's what I use it for 99% of the time. The battery life isn't what it used to be, but I've managed to keep out of Apple's upgrade cycle. Same with my iPad Air. Over 3 years old and doing just fine. I just need to charge it a bit more often, and I don't put any apps on it that will cause its brain to explode.

      I just switched to iOS from Android - got a refurb'd iPhone 5. Works really well, although 90% of the time it's music or phone calls.

  19. Rasberry Pie on it's way. Hopefully Retro Pie will support Co Co 3 soon

  20. Backing up my DVDs. Hate that MakeMKV doesn't seem to have a way to strip out weird titles like "Chuck Season one Disc 3" and replace with real episode titles

      I've encountered that problem, though not with CHUCK weirdly. The 67 Spider-Man had that problem for me.

       

      This is more a case of the DVD title being embedded in the movie. Even if you change the file name of the video file to say 1-1 Chuck - Chuck Vs The Pilot, it shows up in iTunes as Chicago (Season 1) - Disc 1

      is makemkv a good dvd/blu-ray back up program? Iam thinking about doing that and putting everything on USB drives

    4. DracIsBack

      DracIsBack

      It's pretty good. Can't beat the price (free). What you're doing is what I did, then connected to an old laptop running Plex

  21. Wow! Glad Holly Holm found her way to victory again! And what an appropriate way ... level a trash talking opponent with the kick that derailed Ronda Rousey

      A grappler/Judo/Jiu-Jitsu fighter is still going to have a major advantage against a pure striker, but these modern MMA fighters have to know everything so the pure strikers are rare in MMA.

      I had hoped Ronda would pull a Holly and just get back in the saddle. Felt like Holly completely made her doubt herself. The Ronda in the ring against Amanda Nunes looked like a deer in headlights, not the Ronda of old

    4. DracIsBack

      DracIsBack

      I'm sure in a match between Ronda and Roadrunner, she'd bounce your sorry butt all over the ring without any difficulty. :-)

       

  22. Can RetroPi emulate CoCo 3 or not?

  23. Plex's catalog building works spectacularly when it works, but fails spectacularly when it fails.

  24. Playing through Golden Axe Warrior again for the first time in a decade

  25. Looking for an easy way to strip out metadata (prepopulated titles, video art) from a large number of video files

    1. jd_1138

      jd_1138

      Some metadata editors have batch editing capabilities.
