I might. It's kinda 50/50 at this point, but I'll definitely go if I can work out the logistics.

Wish I could go again (work). I really enjoyed it last year. Hopefully I can attend next year.

I am. In about two weeks. Does that count?

RIP - your legacy lives on !

My latest laptop came with Windows 10. It was a TOTAL nightmare... after about 6 months I made a 2nd partition and installed Windows 7. I haven't booted to Windows 10 since.

Dunno what I was doing wrong, but there was so much lag/stalling and I got completely sick of watching that spinny circle thing. I've heard that if you computer isn't all that powerful Windows 10 runs pretty bad on it. Maybe I'm just not that open to change. I never cared for the big square grid thing with apps.

I've had no problems with Windows 10, at least none that I can attribute directly to Windows 10, until this update and it seems like it may have been more a problem with Avast virus software than Windows. /shrug My laptop isn't super powerful, but it's pretty decent. I can't ever remember the specs...

Sometimes known as pulling a Ferris Bueller...

Sounds like a plan. I'm seriously considering taking a PTO day to sit around and play GOG games.

Fun With Numbers.

2600 Hangman on the Atari Jaguar!

I went boring and watched a few youtube videos and spent an hour racing Forza6.

Never seen that before.

I would snap that right up at that price..

They where in a lot of children's wards of hospitals.

PRGE is still the best retro gaming show in the country.

Agreed!

I'll be there this year. Looking forward to the arcade oddities and meeting a few of you guys.

Wow that's cool!

Here's the video I saw. Not sure why it's sideways. I think it's on a charging stand and maybe the display turns when it's on it? Dunno.

Oh yeah... and the things in the middle are called spikes, aren't they... not missiles...

Might be even faster if you turn off mirroring and just output to the big screen.

The GPU is doing double the work when you're driving two screens. It might not be faster than the built-in screen when not attached to the TV.

The 2nd screen does less work then the primary screen. I have it to have this laptop to only use the TV screen when plugged in when using HDMI.

I'm going to fiddle around with it more. Took me a while to figure out a way to let me still use the physical keyboard when in tablet mode. The screen can fold back to use as a tablet, but I wanted to do that just to get it out of the way while I used the keyboard and used the TV as a monitor. Had to disable a driver to allow it to continue to work.

Yeah, you just pick a channel (out of too many choices IMO) for example Atari VCS, then click it and chat if anyone is there, or pick a different room (For example Atari 7800) and chat...

I used to use them to coordinate raids in Everquest. The entire guild would be in channel. Much faster than typing instructions.

Just think of it as IRC.. but in a browser.

Cool stuff, sure, but, look at that atmosphere! No carpet, no lamps, fluorescent lights from an insane asylum or a Taco Bell remodeled in the 90's...*Shudder*

That's a steal at $6k.

He said the guy originally wanted 9k, but he talked him down.

haha...Nice!

i listen to a lot of video game music in my office while I work. i'm partial to the Final Fantasy and Chrono Trigger albums (piano and otherwise). I also have some really cool ones from OCRemix.

damn that's nice

Northern Illinois, and no money here.

Thought it was funny that it said that the items were very dirty/stained... I was thinking that the 800 itself had great color and looked pretty clean compared to some I have seen.

That'd be fun!

Yeah, like tuh-mater, but without the tuh.

Does he wear a leisure suit?

Does he Git R Done?

My new one rules! Wait how'd you know? Haha...I bought one and slowly realized my thumb always fell into these two pointless side buttons that take you back a page (or forward)...Once I yanked'em out and duct taped the side appropriately...It's Great!

I removed the scroll wheel from my mouse because it was giving me carpal and I could get out of the habit of using it.

I switched to a trackpad several years ago and never looked back! You don't know how crappy mice are until you don't use one any more.

Dunno... looks pretty legit... just don't remember signing up... https://www.facebook.com/RetroGamerUK

ummm nope!

Yep! Same thing is happening here!

there's email notifications? Now I'll have to see what email I used to sign up here.. hope it's still around considering i signed up in 19-forgotten

I abandoned my signup email a month after I registered on AA...

So IDK.

The things we do in order to maintain balance in the circle jerk of life I tell 'ya! lol

Ughhh...

At least it's not Second Life?

I think I tried Second Life for all of about an hour. I played EQ for probably four years or so.

If ya played Second Life twice, would that be the same as playing Half-Life 4 times?

Thicker paper lessens the chance of getting cut at least! lol

Hangover?

I also noticed myself being distracted by being able to see my nose in my peripheral vision. Just an odd day.

You and everyone else ever. Sucks doesn't it? No privacy? How are we supposed to be unproductive with people looking over our shoulders. The solution for some, is to not give a fuck.

Instead of a monitor, use VR goggles.

The "problem" is that I have long periods of time where there's not much to do. So I'll try to surf AA or Reddit or something... I mean, I'm not doing anything anyway, but that just screams "I'm not doing anything."

Yup, regular glue is for the regular NES.

Didn't think about it, but using that logic, a glue stick should be perfect for my NES Advantage.

LOL!!!
