  1. Or when I tore apart my original Snowspeeder and Cylon Centurion to get the lights out of them. I liked playing with electrical stuff.
  2. I bought one last year, because as a kid it was the 'dream system' that I never got to have. I'm perfectly happy with it.
  3. I think this has been listed several times lately. The pictures look familiar.
  4. I'm still planning on bringing my CoCo 3 again for the museum. Hopefully I will have a nice little LCD this time around instead of lugging that CRT TV I brought last year. And the wife isn't going this year, so look out ladies!
  5. How much did you get? Just curious because I have a boxed Pac-Man.
  6. Damn, that went way too fast. I would have jumped on Zero Wing!
  7. Tonight was hilarious. Since the servers were going down, they put Borg everywhere. The Earth starbase was full of drones that would kill you in 2 seconds. The space sectors were interesting trying to get through too. I managed to get away from a cube a couple of times, but was also blown up by them quite a few times. Should we start an AA fleet? Currently I don't have any friends interested in playing.
  8. It will never be worth more than it's retail price. And this site estimates between 100,000 and 150,000 sold in the US. http://aoaosoft.com/2010/01/12/on-psp-gos-launch-numbers-psps-u-s-future/ Are there any common systems at all that sell for more than what they cost new? Sure, the TurboExpress is $200 on ebay. But it cost $300 new. Same with the Virtual Boy. The Jag was $250. Now, some sealed systems may fetch more than the asking price. But it's usually still a poor investment when compared to inflation. My bet on the PSPGo would be to wait until they're dropped by Sony and being liquidated.
  9. Would you open one, and then sell it to me at the used price?
  10. Everyone is captain of their own ship. As little sense as that makes, they pulled it off. The Federation is back at war with the Klingons (This takes place 20-30 years after Nemesis), so there will be plenty of fighting to do.
  11. I've enjoyed the 2 or 3 hours I've had the chance to play it. However, the past two nights have been wrecked, last night I try to play, and it's 700 meg patch time. It took all night to download (and I have 20MB cable... So it was their end) And now tonight I try to login, and they're doing maintenance. Yeah, I know it's beta. But I just want to play!!!
  12. Is it a US or a Japanese AES?
  13. Heh, I thought it looked normal sized! Probably because I have the previous generation BFG 9800GTX, and it looks like it's the exact same size. BFG makes awesome stuff.
  14. The way I've rationalized it, the game was freely available prior to the controversy, it's still available now, and I clearly haven't accessed the material, I think there's enough actual disgusting child porn out there for the government to concern themselves with. I have no intention of playing the game I doubt anyone else does either, it's an interesting curiosity, that's all. Obviously you don't know how the government really works, even in the US. If they want to get your for something, they will. That game, according to US law, is child porn, no matter how stupid it seems. The fact that you haven't 'accessed' it wouldn't matter to any overzealous prosecutor. Possession is possession. Get rid of those things, and stop promoting them.
  15. Sweet room. I love the PBR Chalkboard! My game room also has a PBR sign.
  16. No offense, but you should be really afraid of selling that, just because of the ability of the government to say you own child porn. Personally I wouldn't even want that game in my house.
  17. From what I've seen online, I'd say $70 max on eBay. But who knows, try to go higher! Those are the early black non centering (and considered crappier) joysticks. As much as I wish my CoCo's were worth millions...
  18. I have tried to declare myself to be the CoCo expert here on AA, (because so far, I have the most CoCo stuff, and brought it to the MGC) but everyone's suggestions are correct. Cloud9 is awesome with the tested CoCos, you can't go wrong with him. There are also several different joysticks, the black ones, and beige self-centering ones, which had both one and two-button versions. I might go a little higher with the CIB if all the manuals are included. I can't imagine a lot of boxes are left. There's also coco3.com, probably the biggest site for the CoCo community.
  19. I remember being a broke college student and paying $35 more than I had for a NIB Jag at one of those computer liquidation fairs back in 1998. Should have bought about 100 more of them. Would have done better than my 401k has!
  20. Chicky, I feel your pain and sympathize, it's horrible going through this! We just spent $800 last month to get a tumor removed from my dog's mouth. The vet says it was malignant and will most definitely come back, probably within the next month or two. He's a 10 year old German Shepherd, his hips are starting to fail, and it would just be cruel to put him through another surgery when the tumor comes back. So he's just getting extra spoiled for the time we have left with him. He got his very own plate of ham and mashed potatoes at our Christmas dinner. Lasted about 10 seconds! Here he is with his tennis ball. He's a 'large breed', 115 lbs, people think he's a wolf.
  21. You haven't been here long enough to tell us how we are supposed to act here. That's Al's job.
  22. I'm guessing your bank may have opted you into their 'overdraft protection' racket. Where they give you the convenience of allowing the charge even though you didn't have the money available, then they charge you an extra $35 for that wonderful convenience, each time it happens. I'd check with the bank and raise hell.
  23. I hate the word "RARE" when used with E.T., or Combat.
  24. Hm, that's actually within reasonable driving distance for me. I've never had enough to be a reseller before!
