Be prepared for much more nonsense.

If you like the first one, don't expect anything close out of this second one. Half decent movie but a terrible ending, IMO.

But - Gal Gadot!

They're 5V 500mA  Center Positive

Wait what? 

Twitch Prime, presumably Amazon will just get rid of the Twitch name one day. Its now called "Prime Gaming".

It includes various B rated games, some of which might be ones you thought "oh, I wouldn't mind trying this sometime".

I've been "saving" each game that comes out since they started doing it, and I'll be honest I don't think I've actually booted one of them up, but if you haven't got anything to play - it might be worth a shot.

Wait, which?

I think I've seen at least three shows (cartoons mostly) where there are people playing Donkey Kong or Space Invaders but the sound is from 2600 Pac-Man

I remember that show.

Also spotted; 2 Gemsticks worn on the ears. 

The mind reels at the possibilities.  Box of Kleenex? HDMI Port!  Hostess Fruit pie?  HDMI Port!  How 'bout an HDMI Port?  2 HDMI Ports!!!

Closest thing to a Laserdisc player with an HDMI port I ever saw was a > $1000 Pioneer LD-S9, 2nd or 3rd best player in existence. It digitized everything internally it seems. I suppose if you were a super awesome uber-hacker you could tap into the digital stream and re-encode into HDMI. That said I know the comment was made in jest.

HDMI... with a million baby-step revisions afterwards. Gotta be the worst consumer electronics "standard" that way yet. 

Get on board!

Just remember, no Gnus is good Gnus!

I couldn't wait for them to show the La Linea cartoons, with that little line man always getting mad when he falls into a pit. 

Thats more traumatic than the first 15 minutes in Alien 1979...

I had the same issue when I upgraded (?) my desktop to Win 10.  The wifi stick isn't compatible.  A year later I upgraded to a new desktop with built in wifi and the one year old adapter I bought is no longer needed.  If you need one just pm me.

There may be something in control panel that you might be able to change to get it working. My HP Spectre laptop was absolutely crawling along at around 1.5mbps at my daughter's place after she switched broadband provider. Everything else in the house seemed to work fine with the new router. Looking at the router's control panel, everything else was connected to it at 2.4Ghz while the laptop was at 5Ghz. So I tried forcing the laptop to default to the 2.4Ghz signal (by going into the Network Adapter settings in the control panel and disabling the standards that cause it to try to connect at 6Ghz) and now it accesses the internet as fast as anything else in the house.

That doesn't sound funny to me at all!

A laptop I got originally with Vista has, iirc, Debian 8.

I love getting packages early.  Have fun making Shabu-Shabu.

Barcade means small cabinet. Did you have sufficient cooling going?

It's crazy but my experience was similar.  I'd ordered a homemade little MAME bartop deal from a guy on Gamegavel (2015 I believe) and when it got here it was so overpackaged that it fell out of my hands and hit the floor...When I tried it,  the monitor didn't work...First I hooked it up to one of those bigass CRT computer monitors I had lying around,  but I ordered a little flat screen for it which I put in once it arrived...

The monitor was working for about a second, and then turned itself off. I had a jerry-rigged setup of 2 wires for the power button(to a separate button). But It wouldn't even accept an image form the laptop, so it's done. New monitor in. 

Not the same, mind you, but I laughed like hell when on The Orville,  The Captain gives this perfect speech to the bad guy right after saying open hailing frequency...Then his guy says, "Oh Sorry,  I didn't push the button yet"...

Which kit did you get?

I bought one off of eBay that is made in Wisconsin, so short turnaround. 

Sweet, you're gonna have a blast!

You mean it is only available to mainland US and Canada?

Oh... and yes, it is a $39 game (optimistically high) sold for $149.

Hopefully not for a while, but those weed wackers are way louder compared to snow blowers.

Oh yeah,  Snowblowers!  Forgot about those haha!  I was just picturing the sound the shovel makes when it scrapes the concrete.  

Actually,  just as a joke you should put up a Status Update about loud shovels in a couple of months!

@jhd I thought you were going to say you saw the dead rising! ?

@Rogerpoco  I've lived in Hawaii in the jungle with feral roosters and chickens everywhere.  After a week or so I don't even notice it and sleep right through it

At least it wasn't shooting off tons of fireworks.  That would be the loudest lawn mower.
