      My mom told me back home it went a low 75 degrees and a high of 82.. pretty crazy.

      @Flojo, hey we got down to -10, I'm not saying it didn't suck! Just thought I'd try to be funny today. :)

  2. Argh! No, Paypal, or any other web site, you are not getting my cell phone number!

      It is used for 2fa. If you like having your stuff stolen, keep shouting and screaming about it.

      @Albert: Perhaps you missed the part where I don't want Google to have my account either. :P

      @Albert did that a long time ago, but I finally had to call paypal because they said they couldn't send it the security text.

      That's hilarious. The dude ought to post better pics if he wants that much. Looks like he took those pics with a circa 2002 flip phone. Crappy pics hide flaws. Plus the all CAPS is douchey. He probably has a mullet.

  3. Someone here announced their Steam game a few months ago, but I can't find it here and forgot to add it to my wishlist. Anyone have the name? Doing my winter sale shopping.

      Hm, not the one I was thinking of. It was an arcade like run and gun I think.

      I didn't want a Nintendo Switch, I wanted a toggle switch.

  5. Doom is 25 years old today and that makes me feel old too.

      I remember when Doom came out and it feels a lot longer. So, I feel not as old as I did a while ago. ^_^

  6. We arrived at the Grand Canyon tonight, went to the main lodge building to get dinner, and I run into Mike Kennedy standing in line. That's some crazy random chance stuff!

      It doesn't surprise me. Some peoples' lives are such miserable failures that they have to create drama, and deliberately stir up trouble, just to give themselves a sense of purpose. I can't think of any other reason they would put so much effort into behaving like a jerk on a classic gaming and computing forum.

      Hah - page 13. Sega making games with videodisks, and the death of the yellow pages sounds futuristic!

  11. Netflix, why must you keep messing with the interface? I liked scrolling either way, now you put a stupid menu bar when you go left.

      I like the bar. I think it is an improvement and allows me to find stuff easier. If you click on "my stuff" in the bar it shows you a full page of your items instead of just putting them on one row.

      I hear that AtariBox is trying to make it more mom-friendly.

  12. I HATE "Holy grails". You can't have 15 holy grails. Plus it's a video game.

      If you drink out of a holy grail cartridge, do you get infinite lives?

      I actually like the concept of a "Holy Grail" for your own personal collection...But hate the way eBayers and resellers use the term...Kinda cheapens its meaning...

    4. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      P.S. Finding the actual Holy Grail would be easier than beating Battletoads!

      I figured I'd sign up for Netflix (Probably streaming) if I ever get caught up on all my DVDs I own and my DVR which is 66% full!!

  14. Someone mentioned Horizon as Moon Patrol II. Any game that starts at the beginning of a stage after death is evil.

      retrorandy

      Strangely enough I played this game once way back at an arcade in Berkeley in 1985 or so. I was blown away and I swear my hazy memory remembers the marquee at that time actually said, "Moon Patrol II" or something like that. So glad for the internets and to be able to play it again all these years later. It is an awesome game, but yeah thank goodness for modern day save states when playing it via an emulator.

  15. Boo. Cosmos was removed from Netflix. One of my standard going to sleep shows.

      There's a site that tells us what's new and what's leaving Netflix ... not sure if this is my favorite (there are many) but it will do: https://www.whats-on-netflix.com/leaving-soon/

      It actually had a pop-up when starting an episode for the past month or so saying it was available until Aug 7th.

  16. Browsing the Steam sale queue I added a couple $.99 games. Then later added money to my account, which cleared my cart. Now those devs miss out on a sale cuz I don't remember which games they were.

      I bought two games from Steam over the years: both times they took my money, both times they would not let me stream or download the game, nor play it in any way. Both times I had to request my money back. Both times they took a couple of weeks to refund the money. I'll never attempt to buy from them again.

      of geez. they lost a grand total of 45 cents after the rake.....not even worth selling it. ….Id recommend Bit Evolution on sale for $3.35 until tomorrow.

      Well, my lement was also that I may never get to play a game I thought looked interesting since it was a small fish in such a big pond.

  18. What should I bring to have Weird Al autograph? A UHF DVD case, the video collection DVD case, or the In 3D album cover (vinyl LP)

      I agree they're all good choices...I, personally think a signed copy of UHF would be cool...

    4. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      If those are the only three, I'd bring UHF. Otherwise, I'd either bring Peter and the Wolf/Carnival of the Animals pt.II, or The Compleat Al.

      I'm thinking about going to see it again now that I know what it is. I mildly enjoyed it the first time but wished it had more sizzle. Maybe on the second viewing I can dig it more.

  20. Solo guy sitting at the bar was watching people play games live on his phone. World of Tanks and Dark Souls. Seemed weird.

      Ever see that movie 24 Hour Party People? Eventually DJs (as in people playing records) were "The Band"...Seems he's found a way to be involved in video games without the effort of actually playing...Not for me. He's missing the point entirely.

  21. CBS fall lineup will include Macguyver, Hawaii Five-O, Murphy Brown, and Magnum PI. WHAT YEAR IS THIS?

      Yes, I get that it's the Onion, and yes, it's a joke. But that doesn't change the fact that Space Invaders didn't have a high score table with initials.

      It looks cool and all, but it also kinda looks like your roommate is on Molly trying to jerk off to a rave video while you're trying to play Tempest.
