  1. Why bother putting an eBay listing for Make an Offer if it turns down all the offers?

    1. SRGilbert

      SRGilbert

      I wish people would stop sending offers when I don't give them the option.

  2. I've been re-watching two of my favorite 80s TV shows, "Knight Rider" and "Airwolf", and I was pleased to discover that Atari 800 Pac-Man makes an appearance in both of them!

      Greatest American Hero had Intellivision in at least one episode.

      Here's a tip: when someone on the internet offers you a "load" of themselves, politely decline.

  6. Anyone else NOT have a HDMI compatible display / TV? I USED to be all about tech, build my own computers, always into the latest / greatest (and not so greatest) but my main TV is a Standard Def CRT but everything form the latest consoles to the lowly Ouya seem to require HDMI connection, am I forced to bite the bullet soon?

  7. But... first, tonight, for the first time on free TV in France... MYTHBUSTERS \o/ And the first episode they show will be the one with Kari's ass :)

  8. I need more dreamcast games.

  9. Finally beat Half-Life. Easily one the best games ever made.

  10. I almost exclusively use the SEGA controller on my 2600. I just hate the standard joystick, maybe I should invest in a WICO one???? Anyway how about you,whats your preference?

    1. SRGilbert

      SRGilbert

      Thing about Atari, you could use a different controller every day for a month and not run out of choices.

  11. When a movie is advertised as 'From the creators of...' It probably sucks.

    1. SRGilbert

      SRGilbert

      I find that's true unless it's followed by "Toy Story, Monsters Inc. and Finding Nemo...." Then again, I'm a sucker for Pixar.

  12. Listening to the Tigers game on an old vaccuum-tube radio.. lazy Sunday afternoon.

    1. SRGilbert

      SRGilbert

      To me Tiger baseball on the radio will always be Ernie Harwell and Paul Carey.

  13. Sometimes, I wish I was alive in 1982.

      11 years old. Maybe the best year for movies ever: Conan, Blade Runner, ET, Firefox, Poltergeist, The Thing, The Road Warrior, Tron and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.

      One is a delicious salty snack, and the other can cause death if you are allergic.

  15. Other kids wanted to be firemen and astronauts, but I just wanted to be homeless and live under a bridge.

  16. Okay, total geek question -- who wins in a battle between an Imperial Star Destroyer and the Enterprise D (or E)?

      SRGilbert

      Keep in mind it's not just a SD, but as many as 72 Tie Fighters to deal with.

  17. So we sold our house and have to pack up and move in 6/7 weeks. 20 years of collecting now has to be uprooted, packed, and moved. New place better be worth it!

      For your sake, I hope it's a bigger place!

  18. thought The Avengers movie wasn't bad

  19. Just ordered a Radio Shack 'Astro Thunder' game CIB for $25. Nice looking tabletop with graphics nearly on par with a 2600 game from what I can make out. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1LbV582ig98

      I love those VFD games, working on a collection myself.

  20. You'd have to be pretty dense not to see the Veronica Mars Kickstarter success as anything but good for both the service and media's future.

      That Kristen Bell sure is a cutie. Never saw that show, liked her on Heroes though.

  22. i am having a 24 marathon with my dad today!

      SRGilbert

      I seem to recall 24 being far too intense for marathon sessions. The tension on that show was always ratcheted up to the max.

  23. This bloody chest infection will not sod off! Every time I cough it's hard to breathe. Even threw up earlier whilst trying to get some breath back - at least my throat felt better for an hour afterwards.

      If you are coughing up blood, you should probably see a doctor.

  24. I try and try to make myself care half as much about other art forms as I do videogames and fantasy books. It's like "I should really read some poetry or watch some great movies." Then I spend the whole time thnking about throwing fireballs at monsters.

      actually, the internet ruined reading for me. I haven't read a novel in years.
