Brian R.

He's pretty much the worst.

I can't believe how many times the world has ended in the past several decades!

We've known this one since 1989. Aliens imparted the information to her in a room at the Holiday Inn, but it could've been on a spaceship made to look like a room at the Holiday Inn.

Time to rack up massive credit card debt! Thanks for the heads-up!

I love Roku's,I have 3xRoku 3 and a Roku 4 .

Probably doing mine this weekend. It's always nice to get it out of the way, and get that sweet, sweet refund check.

Just got my W2's, so will be getting mine done here soon as well.

Just filed mine!! Thank god for Turbo Tax!

I don't really like the idea of streaming through my phone, and I can spend the extra money for a device with a remote.

For Rokus, I think the 2 would do for me. The 4 is aimed at 4K, so largely useless, and I don't need the extra bells on the 3, based on what I've read.

Brian.... You've just been banned .... by God. ;P

Thinking that some things can merit "high" prices is one thing. But I think once you get into a certain level (and $8k certainly is) you better have real, solid reasons. Or am I just nuts?

The Nintendo look aid is about out of my system at this point..

As I said in a recent podcast, the curse of being a adult is the money to buy all the games you want but not having the time to play them!

I know the feeling.

I was going to be off, but I swapped days with a co-worker so he could go to a Springsteen concert tonight. Because I'm a nice guy like that (contrary to popular opinion.)

I would eat something that gives you nasty gas and let it rip, as soon as she starts eating.

You could print this out and put it on her desk when nobody is looking:

If she doesn't get the message, you could keep printing it out and sneaking it onto her desk until she does.

Please instruct on the dance. I just called today and they want $112 for a year. That was the lowest i could get.

I just call and tell them I want the same deal continued, that's what it's worth to me, or I'll cancel. I either get it straight away, or after saying I'll cancel, it's suddenly available.

I could never get the same price for a longer time, I tried, they wouldn't do it, 5 months was the most.

The ones where the paper was wet and had blue ink?

Well, everyone can't be awesome.

"That was before my time."

If one player uses a game pad, are two fire buttons then used? Or just one, or they both do the same thing (fire)? Sorry for all the questions but ty for the help.

If gamepad is specified the special option (hyperspace, shields, flip 180) is relocated from joystick-down to the second firebutton.

If gamepad is not specified, the second firebutton does nothing.

Got it, thanks!

My guess is Scramble uses two fire buttons. I avoid such games because I don't like the controller options, sticks or pads. I try to stay with games I can use the 2600 controller with.

Astro Blaster

Yes.

Thanks, that's what I needed to know.

CPUWIZ, is Astro Blaster also a one fire button game?

No one on youtube has EVER felt that need... EVERY half-assed review is either:(1) It's goood=They're good at it or (2) It Sux!=They suck at it.

Guess that explains why I'm not on Youtube.

On the other hand, sometimes games are just that bad, and deserve a severe review.

I forgot to record it.

Atari became "EmeryVision," and ET was "Nottingham Nights."

Or people

...but mostly Atari stuff.

Always sad to see old buildings get torn down. My town has destroyed about all its history now. Vacant lots are trendy you know!

Just do what I do: watch nothing but old shows that have already been cancelled.

Heh, yeah, I just did that with Breaking Bad.

Shoot, I really liked Almost Human. Of course, Fox never gives sci-fi type shows much of a chance. Now I just hope Shield will remain.

We can only hope that Power Rangers will meet an end soon. The end of Power Rangers is perhaps the most important task humanity is faced with today.

Yeah, shipping is expensive, and the risk of damage is high. Have looked for a local opportunity for those reasons.

Heh - just noticed in a pic with the cartridge lid open, there's a dead bug right at the top of the left cartridge slot. If you're taking a pic, why leave the bug there?!

mebbe it's a known bug

Surely a very odd bait-and-switch.

Punch Out worked better for the script, as far as the game appealing to the guy's mean, violent streak, as well as replacing his game addiction with boxing as a real life "healthy" alternative. For Pac-Man it would have been, what, eating?

I'used to watch the show but the Mother character is just so over the top obnoxious. If she really was like that, since the show is based on the creators real family, then those kids must have needed years of therapy.

Is that supposed to be cheap?

For Apple, yes. That's like Dell selling a laptop for $50.

No price drop here in Canada far as I know. Loving our dollar right now -_-

Have a moto X and love it. Made in the USA! Just like ole' Atari was BITD.
