I have a DVD box set of the old B & W ones,...Lessee the Complete First Season! One of those nice Universal releases (Green foil, Hologram cover)...Don't think I ever saw Musters as a kid, but I saw Addams Family a Lot! I saw Munsters later on in life, probably when I had cable in my college dorm room.
For those, like me who remember Z-ROCK, ...Been searching for this one a while...

RIP Drac and thank you for the entertaining and informative posts all these years. You will be missed.

$1.65gl for gas here. I actually know people (mostly seniors) who are driving around, just because they're bored. Not going anywhere in particular. Just driving.
-
$2.45 for a cup of coffee at the local Denny's now. WTF?!

Yeah, the "dead" restaurant scenario is a tricky one. Here in The Dells where tourism makes up a majority of revenue and only during prime months, I'm told it's hard to keep good people. Thing is, a restaurant isn't going to pay someone to stand around and not sell food. Some of them even close during off months. So those people know going into it, that it's a part time or seasonal gig at best. Exactly all people seem to want to work anymore anyway (proven when they're calling in "sick" once or twice a week) - so you'd think it *should* be a win-win. Stay at home with family and take care of your home during the harsh winter months or find another part time/seasonal job and "diversify" if you want. PLENTY of jobs around here. More jobs than there are people willing to work in fact.
And Sears *are* to blame for their company's image for sure. Again, they switched their workforce from well dressed suited competent-professional to incompetent-contemporary donned in khakis, short sleeve polos and lanyard name badges. I was there in the early 2000's when our GM said we "needed" to compete with Walmart. Said that was Sears' main competitor. Pffft. We all knew that was so far off and not so coincidentally, that's exactly when they decided to sell lower-end gear and slashed commissions and spiffs to reflect the poor margins of said shit gear. The smarter salespeople left to seek work elsewhere and what was left, you couldn't distinguish from the brainless zombies at Walmart. Got exactly what they wanted; the inevitable race to the bottom.

Pizza Hut will be next since they believe and are convinced their competition is Little Caesar's. All but the thin crust dough comes frozen now, pre-made. Took chicken out of the white pasta and leaf lettuce from the buffet. Stores are shrinking and 500+ are being converted to carry-out only - trying to do what they can to stay afloat.

I was watching some videos the other week from an American who travels a lot. He put up things like what to expect when you visit Wales (yeah, it does rain A LOT), or things to expect when you visit the US. One of the things he said was that visitors' minds are often blown away by the fact that servers can't do enough for you. It's because they want that tip at the end.
But, something else I discovered was that restaurant prices aren't what you pay. You have the tip (service charge) + any sales tax on top when you get your bill. That would irritate the hell out of me. I like to have some idea of how much I'm paying for something. It reminds me of when I bought my first ST by mail order - the ad made it look like a good deal but I was young and stoopid. It said "+VAT". I thought that meant it included VAT. Nope. Ended up costing me just £3 less than if I'd walked into a local store.

Ahh, yes. 15" sub discretely placed and properly loading a large room... how sweet it is!

always gives credit where credit's due: if you manage to scratch Blu-ray media with normal use, you're special. Really, really special.

Am grateful and thankful for all the work everyone does around here. Some amazing people and talent. Thanks for sharing and doing what you do! ?

Am thinking of a Champ Games VCS catalog. And PMP VCS/Pro System catalog. Little homebrew catalogs for Atari systems in general, like the Intellivision has, but larger... VCS style!

Are you eating it, or is it eating you?

Be cool or be cast out

Besides Video Olympics and Warlords, are there any other 4-player paddle games for the VCS?

If you like Warlords, you definitely want to check out Medieval Mayhem, which is a much better rendition of Warlords..

Collector's Corner last night... interesting he didn't own a real Pac-Man machine.

Comet is playing 'Highway To Hell' right now... one strange movie, but oh so 80's, in only a way an early 90's budget flick can pull off. ?

OK, I just looked it up ? I bet I'd dig it...And not that I ever worry about critics or whatever, but an IMDB score of 6/10 is pretty good!
FWIW, Once while flipping through channels I did come across this...and watched a few minutes, but might have watched it all if I started at the beginning... (The titles are just kind of similar)

Countdown started in the AA Store I see. :D
What's this cool looking Adventure game though, and is it for the A8 or 7800?
-
It appears to be Adventure II XE.

Finally broke down... said F-it, didn't feel like going to get my haircut and bought myself a Wahl hair clipper. Tried to be careful and used the different extensions, but still ended up looking like this:

I've bee cutting my own hair with a Wahl for 20 years, no problems whatsoever. I like it short for running, easier maintenance, and it's more comfortable in Florida summers. I can't imagine paying for a haircut. Historically I've gotten good ones, I've gotten bad ones. The Wahl is 100% consistent. Fortunately my bathroom has 3 mirrors so it's not too hard to work the back. Lately I've started using a comb to guide an even line by the back of my neck, and that's helpful.

Genesis Mini is coming down in price and currently $59 new. I see a lot of "open box" offers for about $49. Think it'll come down much more this year?
-
-
I thought about buying one, but around here you can have complete vintage Genesis consoles from $30 to $40 all day long. I could have even had a complete in box, (Actually looked unopened) generation 1 Genesis base console for $60 a week ago. Now prices on the games, those can either be cheap or expensive!
