whats the cat saying?

My cats know the words "gravy" and "Nerf".

Let us know if the pussy talks back to you.

Don't do drugs kids.  Pretty sad when a 50 year old can't get his shit together enough to not OD.  Cancer is sad because it's generally not under your control.  This - not so much.

50?  Yikes...

family says it wasnt an OD.

carts and retro games like pong consoles are better than smartphone & cd gaming imo

With the exception of the few games that work best with a touch interface, I tend to agree with him.

It is pathetic though. lol

I suppose it's a good thing I got in on that Amazon lightning deal yesterday!

$79 is the lowest I've seen them. Been waiting for them to go on clearance... $30 is my price point before I'd pull the trigger!  

Surely all that stuff runs just fine on the $20 Playstation Classic after a little work?

I can see the humor in this, but it misses the point of what that artwork was meant to do. Those of us who were kids at the time (and who were not literal-minded idiots) understood perfectly well that the games wouldn't look just like the box art. The artwork gave us a mental picture that we could superimpose onto the game as we were playing it, so it was actually very successful in "priming the pump" and engaging our imaginations.

(... those of us who HAD imaginations, that is, instead of expecting the game visuals to do all the work for us.)

For some reason I felt rooked from the Yars box. Normally I was good with seeing it as yo mentioned jay but that one in particular I felt stung by. Maybe I got so excited seeing the alien on the front that I was hoping the game was more than it ever could have been.

They are likely freeing up production resources for the NES Classic Mini and the forthcoming Switch.

They must have subbed out production of the NES mini..

Confirmed False

Congrats! Time does fly on here. Good times and many improvements to the collection as a result. Only wish I lived near some of these wonderful people.

10 years nonstop? When do you poop?

Congratulations! We're glad you're here!

I'm waiting for the update, Chocolate Covered Razion.

@Jess: Hahahaha...Good one!

@travis: Its on the Neo-Geo trend if you like to find out more about Razion if you want!

Aah real music.

AND WE WERE SINGING, BYE BYE MISS AMERICAN PIE, DROVE MY CHEVY TO THE LEVEE BUT THE LEVEE WAS DRY. THEM GOOD OLD BOYS WERE DRINKING WHISKEY AND RYE

Always makes me think of Gary Busey Lol.

MEOW Yeah!!

MEOW!

WOOF yeah!!! ... Um... I'm new at this...

I was going to ask ... New or Old?

^Ha! (I saw'em in 1988 and again in 1996

Back then, for us Slayer fans Testamnet was an Easy Mode, but now .. okay...nostalgia wins anyway...

Sobering.

Easy for most Americans to forget. Impossible for most Japanese to forget, I'd imagine.

true I even wanna sees Hiroshima someday & visit the memorial there

The Secret's in the Sauce

I ate it.

You couldn't be more wrong, Stephen. It's still the best new gen system and will be until later this year.

For me, there were a couple of really big issues:

1. There wasn't a killer app for the game pad out of the gate. Love or hate the Wii, Wii Sports was a pretty great way to show off that controller that Wii U didn't have.

2. Where were the Nintendo franchises for the first 18 months? There still isn't a new Zelda game, a new Metroid game, a new Starfox game etc. That's Nintendo's strength and they launched without the titles.

I'll thro...

In the business world its known as "product differentiation." Marketing team fail. But I suspect it's deeper rooted than that. One can understand the desire to capitalize on the "Wii" brand..but a console that looks the same and has nearly the same name is a bad idea.

Another one btes the dust!

I see a little silhouette of a man.

I just listened to the William Shatner cover of Bohemian Rhapsody. As usual, it's awesome.

Ah ... Bark?

purrrrrr

Me-noune

Just more BS tech patents that never should have been granted.

only in europe

"For now, the U.K. ruling shows that Philips' claims are credible, and therefore represent major threats to Nintendo's two largest markets -- Europe and North America"

It is... but without the online store to take up all of the good stuff... you can find boxed PC games and I've even found NES games, a model 2 Genesis (didn't buy it as it looked pretty dirty). Sometimes even old computers... I once found a 386 laptop there but it needed too much work and wasn't worth paying $50 for.

one by my house yielded the best stuff (closed last june) including Eli's Ladder

I used to go to a half dozen thrift stores near me every weekend.. Had quite a few good scores over the years. A SNES with 15 good games, a boxed 1050 disk drive, a Commodore SX64, a few NESes, a few Atari 8-bit carts, lots of 2600 stuff. It all seemed to dry up about 5-10 years ago when people realized this 'junk' was actually worth something in eBay land.

Man, I love Chinese food.  Pork noodles, green pepper steak, won ton soup, BBQ pork, chicken chow mein, sesame chicken and egg rolls are my favorites.

Place across the street has an amazing seared beef recipe flavored with hot spices and orange peel.  Not like General Tso's, it's much less sauce.  It is fantastic.  And now it is too late to order some, dang you!

*pour chicken chow-mein, rice, and shrimp Meow Mix flavored into your food bowl. With a soup and some 7up in 2 seperate water dish*

one of my fave stations on Sirius is the Classic Jazz station.

Blue Monday. How I hate Blue Monday.

Is he winning?

I say F*** you Jobu! I do it myself!

Jesus, I like him very much, but he no help with curveball.

yep. GM at its best. Those were the first car be made at the GM plant when the OKC plant first opened.  They paid uneducated high school dropouts $17 (1976 dollars) to slap left turn signals on the bodies.  Lots of people 'milked' those jobs till retirement.  Now the plant is closed and part of Tinker AFB.   Way to go unions!  Those guys make more that college-educated teachers (to this day).

Same as an Olds Omega, Pontiac Phoenix, and Buick Skylark.  They replaced the old 1970's RWD Novas.  My brother had a 1982 Citation for a year in the early 90's.  The radios are mounted sideways in the dash.  

My first car was an '81 Citation.

I love Garfield. I should start reading that comic strip again.

@john_q_atari I second that John. Garfield is my favorite fictional feline. 8^) 

OMG!  That strip still cracks my ass up 🤣

What flick?

I think that's a line from the movie Gandhi.

LOL! Now go get your shinebox!

Note to self: must not fly in war zones.

There were two cargo planes shot down with surface to air Missiles over the past week or two. Why would you fly a commercial jet through a war zone?

And now, French gov. recommends Airlines do NOT fly over Ukraine. Captain Obvious !
