      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.

  4. 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...

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

  5. I hate grids of giant pictures. I want a compact list with text descriptions. UX people need to stop it. My lawn, get off it!

      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.

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

  8. If you ask me to take a survey and say anything other than perfect is a fail, then your survey is pointless.

      And if the survey has no method of verification, you need to understand that PEOPLE LIE, especially to other people holding clipboards.

      If you don't give the highest rating, you are being negative and negativity is considered bullying and bullying can result in a fine or jail time. Welcome to the future.

      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.

      TV + My DVR = True Happiness! I'm through ads w/ a button click and yesterday I actually Wanted to see a couple haha...One for a movie and one for a weedwhacker ;) And TV doesn't target ads to me...I mostly just skip'em!

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Plus commercials are part of it,... like when ya watch old shows off of VHS, seeing ads from the '80's is something you don't skip (Strangely enough). But I do wanna kick My Pillow guy in the head!

      @Agamon there are 2 tiers for CBS All Access, which I've subscribed to for watching Star Trek Discovery. For $6/month you can watch stuff with ads, for $10/month there are no ads. I figured if I'm going to give them money, I might as well not see the ads.

       

      @Kaeru I don't care about March Madness either! :-D

  14. 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.

      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.

  16. Realized it's finally time for a new basement MAME PC when I had to change the motherboard battery. In all my years I have never used a PC long enough to have to do that.

      @Jaybird - That's about how old this is. Built in 2008. But it was a $2500 monster then.

      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.

  19. 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.

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

      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.
