Has the crap economy put a crimp in your thrifting?

Here's an interesting article on what McCain and Obama's tax plans mean for the various income levels.

What they'll do to your tax bill

[Has the crap economy put a crimp in your thrifting?]

I think it's problem of perspective. Somebody making more than middle income probably has paid less in taxes and the rising gas/food/medical prices doesn't have much effect on them as a whole so it looks OK to them. The majority of people in the middle and lower incomes are feeling the tighter squeeze of those high prices, companies downsizing, unemployment, etc. so they are more aware of it.

[Screw the screamers]

The Angry VG guy is just not funny. I don't mind the obscenity if it's funny, but he isn't. His number of hits surprises me because i can't even imagine anyone finding him entertaining. I'd rather read reviews rather than watch videos anyway.

[My first defective game purchase - Tecmo Arcade]

I set it to 480p, and it worked like a charm. Thanks. Sadly, this game compilation just plain sucks.

 

Really? I thought it was nice But then I did spend many hours playing Starforce, Bombjack & Pinball Action as a kid so there was the nostalgia factor

 

I'm with with you, Tecmo Arcade gets a ton of play on my Xbox. It's not as good of a compilation as the Taito Legends but only because it has less games.

Done a few deals with him, he's a pleasure to do business with.

[WIP teaser (ColecoVision)]

This version worked in MEKA. This is really cool, if it supports the steering wheel, I'd definitely pick it up.

[Which of these games are better on the 7800 than the NES?]

7800 only wins for Joust, IMHO. I like the 7800 versions but the NES are just better. They also don't have the painfully awful sound of 7800 DK 7 DKjr.

[WIP teaser (ColecoVision)]

In Meka, I get the opening screen but then nothing after I press a button. I'll try it in MESS when I get home.

[Poll for Colecovision HSC2 / Game 2A]

Qubes! One of my CV favs.

[Image search?]

Ok, thanks

[Image search?]

Is there a way to just search the image attachments in posts on AA?

[What did/do you call your games?]

I always called them carts or cartridges because that's what it said on the box. Many of my friends called them tapes though.

[OMG! DiCaprio to star as Nolan Bushnell!]

There are a lot of worse actors out there. Some of DiCaprio's stuff is pretty good...just forget Titanic.

 

He is a good actor(The Departed, Blood Diamond) but somehow I just can't see him in this. I don't know who else to cast but I just don't see him in it. Doesn't matter, I'll definitely go see the movie anyway.

[Best Star Wars game for the Atari 2600]

DSB was always a fav and still is.

[Colecovision HSC2 / Game 1B - GORF]

first attempt 24,560 - Space Warrior. I think I can do better when I have another go tonight

[Colecovision HSC2 / Game 1A - River Raid]

25,320 I suck at the CV version. i find it harder than the 5200 an VCS RR.

[Homebrew release strategies (pros and cons)]

Public testing. There will be some suggestions the author may not want to use but in general it works well for improving the quality of a game.

[NEW Game For Colecovision --- Mr. Chin---READY TO SHIP]

How much is it?

[Wow... painful poll @ gamefaqs.com today... results to make you cry]

I'm not shocked. Video games are just like music tastes. Although there are younger people who get interested in older stuff, most don't. They happily stick to whatever is new, even when it sucks.
