thanatos

Our Wal Mart never had the $11 deal, when I looked...So I offered $21 on eBay and got one....Haven't hooked it up yet...I need to so I can leave feedback.   Maybe tonight after work...

Yeah I agree the earlier controllers were way better...Gonna have to try a better controller...My hand feels more cramped than...than Harry Potter's bedroom.

Walmart has secret clearance items.  I think I paid about the same amount for the Flashback Legends with 50 games.

Such a fantastic unit the PS2 is thanatos. It's one of my favorite units of all time. 8^)

I think people are confusing the ability to add public messages on other members' feeds with sending them private messages.  One would think they'd stop after seeing what was supposed to be a private message appearing in the status updates, but apparently not.

I still have not heard anything back, it is pissing me off.

I don't think they look at the main forum page, so they don't even know it's happening. They just take a dump in the middle of the floor and walk away. If you want to PM somebody, send them an actual PM.

NOT GUILTY!

Why would anyone want to sell the greatest console ever made, with so many exclusive games?

*I am not a Fartari-made AI or marketing department intern

haha- not me!  (I live in SW MO)

Hardcore porn shouldn't even be ALLOWED on steam. I thought they had higher standards then this. How i miss 2004

Which ones are your favorite so far? 

@Rick Dangerous if you must know, the one that made me go "Holy crap!" for the fact it exists and is on Steam was "Operation Lovecraft: Fallen Doll"

Beware to anyone easily offended!  This ain't no Custer's Revenge!
 

@Flojomojo that's the first place I went as soon as I heard the news.  Autoplay next has been turned off since they added that 'feature'.  Don't like it.

And I JUST quit Netflix too . . . 

I canceled Netflix several years just because of those autoplay ads.  Maybe I wasn't the only one and they figured out that annoying crap was losing customers.  Can't say I've missed them one bit as Prime has been far more enjoyable imo.

Years ago, I once tried to sign up Just for the sweepstakes online and it was a bigger joke than that crap they used to send out in the mail.  It's like tangent after tangent,   You're caught in a downpour of torrential ads trying to get your attention, because they think you'll eventually click on just one.  I also remember some of those same type of ads spammed up Amazon's M-Turk system too.  You were supposed to get paid (to test their system) just by clicking to get through all of the ads, but you could never reach the end.  It just kept going around in circles.  They wasted your time and then wouldn't pay.  After one try I said Never Again!   It's not worth it.   I'm not sure it'd be worth it if I was guaranteed to win haha...Just get to the end to win!  (Except you can Never reach the end!)...

In the movie Knight And Day, IIRC it's explained that Publishers Clearing House is just a front group, and Tom Cruise uses it to set up his parents with income. I can't exactly remember all the details, but the meat of it is that his parents 'won' the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes twice. Lol.

I'm a bit baffled by the amount of magazines people are buying or subscribing to nowadays.  Sure the numbers have to be way down but there are still a lot of magazines that people subscribe to (nothing I would want - good housekeeping and people type mags).  I would love to see some old video game mags in print but it isn't viable.  I guess the magazines still in print have some decent numbers to warrant their existence.

As for the whole Publisher's Clearing House stuff... again I see a lot of their print material and I'm thankful it isn't going to my mailbox!  lol  I remember in the 80's when my parents would subscribe to a magazine and would be guaranteed a 'prize'... it was always some gimmick trinket that would be the prize... and then the mail would continue on and on.  The best part was the magazine subscription... as it was the one thing I wanted (it was a hockey magazine of some sort that was much more interesting that the junk mail they would send!).

Hey what was the most popular dance for Americans in 1776?

Indepen-dance.

It was a normal sunday. How was 'George Washington Traitor' day for you?

Still have my parallel and usb zip drives. They're an integral component of my vintage computing experience from back then!

Me too, have an internal IDE one as well.

I still have my Zip drives, too; a bunch of 100MB drives (internal and external) and an internal 750MB drive, with plenty of media for both.

(I wonder if Zip is more reliable than flash drives for long-term backups of small files?  I know Zip had some quality control problems, but I seem to recall that was early on.)

Nostalgia can be used for good, or it can screw us up so badly that there's no point in reliving the past.

In my case, Rebuying Goldeneye. Was hyped, so disappointed 

Select Cancel the first life/magic and go for the attack upgrade.  Those Bubble skulls are killable(Lots a stabbing) and worth 50 exp points.  Find exp bags.  Every 6th enemy you kill will drop a potion/exp bag. Once find a 1up on the overworld, don't collect and remember the location. You'll need it for the Great Palace. Remember where red potion in palace are, they respawn upon leaving/entering palace.  One town folks don't know which way is east or west telling you where Payapa Palace is.  I am not Error.

Do a bit of googling, my Win10 Pro, looks like Classic Windows, with start bar and no bullshit on the desktop.

It's not the cosmetic stuff, I've figured that all out.  It's how it will re-enable services and such that I told it to disable.  Or ones that it won't let you disable without super 3rd party hacks.  Not to mention all the telemetry.

It's my damn PC, stop changing what I want it to do!

It takes a lot of digging, to find all the shit they hid.  I agree, it sucks.  Luckily, my monster PC was configured by security IT services, from my company, creepy shit they can do with it remotely, fully secure.  Took me forever to do half of it, to my own machines.  Still dual booting Windows 7 Ultimate and Windows 10 Pro, on my own shit.  Some drivers don't work on 10.

Awesome!   Now,  I don't know who that is...At first speed read,  I thought it said Kenny Loggins, but then I read it again even quicker, and came up with Henry Rollins...So I read it regular speed instead of trying to get through it in .04 nanoseconds and thought Cool!  Who's Kent Rollins?   (heh)

You're talking about that cowboy chef, right?

@SlidellMan Yup!  His recipes always look amazing.  I got to meet him and his wife, and try the food in person.  They are the nicest people you could imagine.

Oh Jenny, you rascal!

Now I wanna know more!  Are they a corporate type so into their work they didn't even notice?  At any rate you should send them a video of the song, With a note saying "Maybe this will help you memorize it"...

Whisper "Tommy Tutone" in their ear and they still probably wouldn't understand.

Carlsson,  She was too young and beautiful for me, but I like where your head is at.

I need a button that says "just because I made eye contact, does not mean that I work here"!  But sure, I'll help you anyway. And I have!  lmao

I would appreciate a button that says, "I have absolutely no intention, now or in the future, of subscribing to satellite television.  Please piss off."

In-store attempts at selling Direct TV and/or Dish Network are getting pushier and pushier.

I have a 3D TV, and some glasses I've never used. What are the best titles? Are they readily available, or stupid expensive?

Tron Legacy is probably my favorite.  Ready Player One is good, Pacific Rim, while kind of a dumb movie, has really good 3D.

Just check Amazon, most don't look overpriced compared to normal.  The used media stores around here put the 3D Blu Rays in a separate section so they're easy to find.  Oh, and they're plentiful on eBay too.

At least it's not a Diner's Club card!

 ? Awesome! ?

Now,...If it was the other way around,  ...(Like if I wrote fan fiction)...Well...Tears of JOY!

I do not see the photo nor a link.

Yeah, it's a twitter link, and apparently it only works if you click on my profile.

- Ok, it's fixed to at least displaying a URL.

I wish she'd stop calling me! 

I'm wearing my 5.50 t-shirt. ?

I wanna go to Milwaukee!   See you guys and raise a glass of BEER!!!

A shame.  I was hoping to run into you again this year!

Gruber?  Yeah he was in McHale's Navy wasn't he?    ...   Never knew his first name...

AWESOME!!!

Been about ten years for me.

Me and my then 4 y/o Grandson got mebbe a good 1/3 of the way thru, a couple of years ago.

I had confidence that my(original)battery wouldn't fail, short test runs had worked out fine.

That was a disappointing day, for sure...

Even worse-I have an Everdrive, just wanted to do it on the real thing...

I've changed/evolved my tastes recently, but SNES Zelda was my "favorite game ever" for a couple decades.

That game and watch sure is tempting, it looks amazing.

It's neat, super small, but playable.  Feels a bit light, they could have added some heavier materials to make it seem less cheaply made.

Also for the price I would think they could have at least included some maps and instructions.  The only included instructions is how to plug it into the charger, and then 4 pages of legalese in multiple languages.  Nothing on how to use it at all.

I always thought of it like this:  We didn't get Star Castle, but we got Yars' Revenge (which is Amazing!).  And we didn't get Astro Blaster, but we got Megamania (which also Ruled!).

But as you know it's a Great Time to be Alive!, because Now...All of us Savvy AtariAgers have Star Castle Arcade for 2600 (Thanks Chris Walton and Thomas Jentzsch, etc.,) and Astro Blaster for 7800 (from Bob Decrescenzo).  In fact if you don't have them,    What are ya waiting for?   They're in the AA store right now,  waiting for your dollars so get off yer duff!

Also did U know Megaman got its name by taking Megamania and losing the last 2 letters?

I'm just kidding on that one LOL!
