  1. ASPYR 20th Birthday Sale + WB Sale = I'm broke even after the sale

  4. I hate TWC. They just increase my internet bill by $11/month for the same exact service!?!

      Heck, they won't even bring the cable the final half mile to give my section of road internet. They can just go shove themselves! >:)

  5. Flappy Bird lives! On the C64 no less. I might have to dig out the 1541 UII and give this a try. -- http://sos.gd/flappy64/

      Neat. Now to get a Commodore 64...

      That or a vectrex

  6. I need to do some rearranging as well as possibly getting a new AV receiver. I now have an (1) Ouya, (2) Roku, (3) STB, (4) PS3, (5) DVD Recorder, (6) PS4, (7) XBox 360 and (8) Neo Geo X downstairs. In the future, I could see two more devices coming...the Retron 5 and Xbox One. I've run into serious power issues as well as I don't have enough HDMI slots (TV has 4, AV receiver none). Thoughts and suggestions? :)

      You need an Atari 2600.

      I have all of the non-HD stuff upstairs including my 2600. :)

      Get an hdmi switch with enough inputs, and an sp/dif output to put into your receiver. I have a dvdo duo, but maybe that's over the top.

  7. ODU beat Idaho by 21. ODU is losing to North Carolina by 60 after 3 quarters. North Carolina lost to Miami by 4. Miami lost to Florida St by 27. I hope Florida St is ready for a super tough game against Idaho today!

  8. For those of you still wanting a PS4 in the next couple of days and are still awake, check out Amazon. At first all they had was a bundled PS4 and 7" Kindle Fire HDX. I added it, ordered it and then noticed they had just the console in stock. So now, on Tuesday, I'll have the console instead of almost a month from now. The bad part? I can't cancel the preorder for Walmart. I'll have to see if some co-workers want to buy it when I get it.

      Heh, I got the same email.

  9. Christmas present ordered. Saw that Walmart had some PS4 preorders up and went ahead and grabbed one.

      Santa came early - nice!

      Cap5750

      Well not too early. This was for a second shipment or something. The delivery date is 12/20 I believe. So basically, just in time! :)

  10. Should get new NIC tomorrow and can finally have my new Microserver up and running. Woot Woot!

  11. So I've been wanting to run speaker wire under the carpet as well as try to run cat5 cable at least from upstairs to the living room downstairs. I've always been afraid of messing up the carpet, the walls or both. I suppose I still am, but I was just watching some youtube videos of magnapull....makes me say hmmmm....

    1. moycon

      moycon

      How much is magnapull? I've always just used a fishtape. If you only plan on using it a time or two, you can get a cheap one for $10.

    2. Cap5750

      Cap5750

      Over 100 bucks. It just looked way easier then fishtape. Then again, I know very little about either nor do I know what all I'd run into when trying to come "across" the room. :)

      wow that chick is hot!! Nice rack...

       

      Oh I just do it the old fashioned way...swear alot

  12. Stopped by Five and Below on the way home from work to see if they had anything different on the shelf for the Wii, PS2, PSP, or DS. Nope...same games they had a couple of weeks ago. Wait a minute...I'm looking in the wrong place. I'm looking ON the shelf. UNDER the shelf on the floor amidst much dust is a copy of Shadow of The Colossus for the PS2. Yay me for looking in the obscure place!

  13. Got the Neo Geo X. Dunno why other then it's "cool". The hand-held is okay...but what I really want to do is hook up the controller to my PC and use it for MAME.

      Sometimes, that it's "cool" is enough. Congrats!

  14. It's 30 degrees colder then it was a couple of days ago. But I need to get out and walk down the drive to check the mail. Supposed to be some C64 goodies there!

  15. For those of you looking for a Wii-U, I just noticed Gamestop has them online right now (basic and deluxe).

      Sweet thanks..deluxe ordered! No black friday waits :)

    2. Cap5750

      Cap5750

      No problem. That makes two of us that won't be waiting in line. And I can wait for it to get here, so that's not a problem either. :)

    3. FikapPacMan

      FikapPacMan

      Same here....I saw it ships on the 26th so pretty cool...now I hope they add extra controllers for sale in the future :)

  16. Hooked up my C64 and 1541 drive for the first time in over 15 years. Computer itself is working, but the drive just gives me a clickity-clickity-clickclickclick and stops with "File Not Found" errors on every disk. Hopefully, it just needs a cleaning!

      Sounds like your 1541 needs an alignment actually.

    3. Cap5750

      Cap5750

      Cleaned everything. Still not reading any disks (directory or loading a program). Read the error channel and it's giving READ ERROR 23 or 27. Both mention grounding problems...Bad serial cable maybe? Tried a Blue Chip drive as well (different power supply, but same serial cable) with same results.

    4. Cap5750

      Cap5750

      I actually have a UIEC coming soon. Is it possible to use that to load up a disk alignment program and use it against the drive?

  17. Debating on how I want to redo my dvd/bluray collection. Cheaper solution is to purchase 5 or 6 200+ CD/DVD cases and a large tote or two. In other words, keeping the disks downstairs while moving the cases into a tote and into a closet for storage. Nerdy (and expensive) solution is to buy a 10 tb NAS and rip all the disks and store them online. Would still need to buy a tote or two to store the originals. I'm leaning towards the first solution.

  18. It's a bit like Christmas around here as I'm doing some cleaning and re-arranging of things. I just found a manual for Hook on the Sega CD which I thought I had lost years ago. I also thought I had lost the case. I wonder if it's in one of these boxes that haven't been opened in years? I doubt it, but it's going to be fun to look.

  19. Just spotted a 2600 sitting on a TV at the beginning of the new (2011) Muppets movie!

      It would have been even cooler if the Pigs In Space game was plugged into it.

  20. Please don't tell me I have to go back to Lowe's to buy a new roll of electrical tape because I can't find the roll I already have!

      I'm afraid it really isn't that interesting. The top of the blender is off and I had evidently just set the roll down in the slot where it would go. :)

      desiv

      Wait, you only have 1 roll of electrical tape???

    4. Cap5750

      Cap5750

      lol...yep. Not much of an electrician. But I managed to get the ceiling fan done and everything worked on the first try!

  21. I just noticed that my old animated space invader is gone. I'm not sure if I still have it or not. :(

    1. Cap5750

      Cap5750

      Yay! I found it. It may be ugly, but for someone like me (graphically challenged), I was proud of it!

  22. Forgot to order something to hook up 7 compoisite and 3 rf items at the same time. At least they look good on the shelves!!!
