  1. For Colleen, how do you do multiple disk games? Any time you load a different disk to it, it reboots the system.
  2. 2 more days. Okay, 3 since Saturday's when things heat up. Let's hear if I can muster up a podcast episode about it, complete with references to stirrup pants.
  3. Trying to find info on the childhood console TV we had. Any source for finding it?

  4. Flintlock guns: Put your eye really close to an explosion so you can line up your shot. What could possibly go wrong?

  5. I'm listening to the RGR segment on Shane R. Monroe & the MonroeGalaxy Republic. (I skipped the top 10, thank heavens for timestamps) This is hilarious. Oh this is rich.
  6. The guy doing the Intellivision Flashback upgrade kits lives in Minnesota too? I noticed umn.edu

  7. What's funny is now some of his modern gaming segments, ie Game Boy Advance, are so years old, it's now considered retro. Heh. I just remember his rather long rant about a flashing screen color change in one port of Dragon's Lair, and it felt like some guy on talk radio going on & on about how he's going to sue the US government, tin foil hat, etc.
  8. I'm listening to RGR 100 right now. Thanks to the handy timestamps, I can skip the top 10 segment entirely. The latest Ten Pence Arcade was funny in their talk of pronouncing nurmix's last name. (Do do dee doo doo)
  9. Started watching "The Riches", I like none of these characters.

      I think that's the point

  10. I had all the grailquest books as a kid. Did through the first 4. Real great expansions on the Choose Your Own Adventure book formula.
  11. This morning(just before leaving for work), I got an avalanche of updates. The media circus came back to town!
  12. My iTunes is messed up. It hasn't downloaded anything new since the 24th, but when I added Flack's new cast, it added those episodes. It also then went backwards by re-downloading & showing me as fresh, 2 episodes that I listened to several months ago. Get it together, iTunes. You had one job.
  13. Their episodes ran a bit long. I already unsubscribed, heh. Nothing inherintly wrong with the 'cast, but I just wasn't feeling it. The TurboGrafx episde had someone from RetroNick Radio, a podcast, IIRC that was so swear-heavy I stopped listening to it.
  14. After the next episode, it looks like Retro Game Squad is closing up shop. Their latest episode was about the TurboGrafx.
  15. Wasn't Goodwill opening up a pilot store that was like a FuncoLand?
  16. If I start a band, I'll name our first album "____'s greatest hits". Then every song would be a hit!

      There are still a few record stores in my city.

      The only record stores within 1 hour of me are Goodwill stores. The vinyls there are pretty scruffed and probably not playable but good for melting into bowls.

  17. Rob O'Hara has come out with a new 'cast called "Cactus Flack's", which is about arcade games.
  18. I saw Roger Daltrey back in '94, and was wonderfully surprised to see the Ox come out & do "My Wife". That was unexpected. One of the few Who songs that sound better live than the studio cut.
  19. Whoo hoo. Less than 2 weeks left, and going in a Chrysler Minivan. Must resist the temptation to pick up a pin, but wouldn't mind picking up an arcade cab.
  20. VICE for Vic 20 and C64 are nearly unusable. Their interface is just terrible. Tries way too hard to cover every single hardware feature for the two, but gives you a huge barrier to use it. All other emuators I see for C64 are paid. So which one with a decent interface is worth my 3 dollars in Google credit?
  21. When I'm super-deep in a building, where I can't get out easily, now's not the time to bug me about a settlment being under an attack. I sent a freakish robot to help you, defend yourselves.
  22. Where has the Battlestar Galactica "Base star" been used outside of BSG? I swore I saw it in video games.

      Don't forget the Klingon Bird of Pray and TIE Fighter. How did Atari not get sued over the TIE fighter?

      just a guess, I don't think they got sued because the image detail was so low that they didn't care.. In that link about Space Attack, it said it Mattel had license to make BSG toys and assumed they could make a video game, but then they found out they didn't have license to make video games, so they changed the name and kept the graphics the same. No one noticed so no one cared.

  23. I know typical Fallout DLCs can be finished in less than 10 hours, but I can easily milk 30-60 hours out of them if you do the side quests. However, I'm finding nothing for side quests, so I'm just scavenging to start my own robot army.
  24. I sent Nick some feedback for the next episode. I had 2 Virtual Boys, and yes, I worked at Blockbuster.
  25. Really? With his EM pinball background, I never thought of him to be a Virtual Boy enthusiast. Galactic Pinball was fun.
