  1. I think I might be better at 3D racing games than I used to be, and worse at overhead racing games than I used to be.

      Sometimes I think I'm 2.3 times better at 2.5D stuff than I used to be.

      I was going to say something about the upcoming Amico 2.5D stuff, but you beat me to it!

  2. Momma had a chickie!  Momma had a cow!  Dad was proud!  He didn't care how!

  3. Ugh!  Biggest spider I'd ever seen in my house last night.  HUGE sucker might have been carrying a bunch of babies, it was over my bed.  Saw it, squished the hell out of it.  Fortunately I did not have a nightmare about spiders.

      Oh, don't hurt the spiders!!!

      :P

      Lol, I'm actually afraid of true spiders myself, tho I've bred and kept hundreds of tarantulas.

      I'd have done the same.

  4. Doing an episode guide and some of the episodes I"m watching are only available from this YouTube guy recording from his cellphone with a VERY unsteady hand, and with animals making noises.  Very annoying.

  5. Look out Bird!  Look out Kareem!  Look out Magic!  Hee hee hee hee!

  6. So pissed.. finally bit the bullet and bought a Smartphone, basically to be able to get a public transportation app.  Now I hear the app won't work on my phone because I need a NFC chip.  F***!  I hope the Cricket store can install one for me..

      NFC = Near Field Communication. You tap it on an NFC reader to complete certain kinds of transactions. These are typically found on credit cards, government IDs, and recent-ish smartphones. It's not the kind of thing that you can install after the fact, it should be built in. You might want to get the Cricket store to swap out your hardware for you. If this is a new purchase, that shouldn't be a problem, but you'll probably have to pay a little more for a better device.

      I prefer the AFC chip myself....

  7. Mm-hmm... it's coming to me now, I see financial disaster in your future!

      Classic "Ask five random people a question" over here:

       

      - How will the financial crisis affect you?

      - I am a musician and have experienced a financial crisis through my entire life so it feels good that rest of the world catches up. Finally they will get lives just as lousy as mine is!

      Especially for 'Press Your Luck' with that infamous episode.

      Shortly after this, Jerry brown was mugged by an irate taxpayer. 10% my ass lol

  8. Finally almost finished with cleaning the house.. my bedroom was filled with dust and spiderwebs.  Sneezed all night. :(

      I've been taken Allegra lately... has been working extremely well, especially after dusting or working outside.

      Well, the top shelf in the closet is all that's left.. but I will make that another day.  I probably should have taken something but I'm completely done for the most part.  I wish they made Roombas that could climb walls and suck up hard-to-reach spiderwebs and dust.

      I need to get after it in a few places too.  I've actually started wearing a surgical mask for this type of thing and some outdoor tasks.  It looks ridiculous, but it helps.

  9. We got your cheese!  Pepperoni!  Tomatoes!  Saus-- (dough splats on head) ..How 'bout some spaghetti?

  10. NBA Draft tomorrow!  Who do you want your team to pick?

      KZ Okpala to the Blazers.  Find a way to purchase a 2nd rounder and maybe get Dylan Windler.

    4. Joe C.

      Joe C.

      I'm shocked KZ went as late as he did. Great player as I had the chance to see him play a few times. 

  11. Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too, I got the rockin' pneumonia and the boogie woogie flu..

  12. Gotta love trimming big limbs off of trees-- face/hair full of sawdust, dirt and bugs.  Plus scratches all over my arms/legs.  Whee!

      Watch out for ticks!   :lol:

  13. Some jackass is posting on all my YouTube videos what appears to be simply the release date for the games in my videos (for example, 5/7/1983) and nothing else.  Through, like, 3 or 4 different accounts.  What the hell?!

      I would chalk it down as a case of a "letter combination".

  14. Heh.. only 600 more episodes of Press Your Luck (1983-86) for my Episode Guide.. (nervous laugh)

     

  15. I wish a .gif file could be pronounced "giff". JIF is peanut butter!

      I pronounce it "giff" because (as already mentioned) it stands for Graphics Interchange Format. I'd never heard it differently until my habits had already been permanently set.

       

      To really annoy people, you can pronounce it "gifffffffff" and really drag that f out.

       

      Or, start calling another file fomat "j-pej".

      Saw this earlier this morning... went to lunch, checked Twitter, and something about Press Your Luck was on there... a kissing whammy... dammit, who's spying on me!?!?

      Betcha the whammy will do that floss dance, and pose for selfies in the updated animations.

      Okay, I see... there's a new one coming out or something... that explains why it was a promoted tweet...

  17. Toot toot! Heyyy.. beep beep!

  18. If anyone plays the vector game WARRIOR on MAME, how do you get the controls to work properly? I can't make the knight swing his sword fast at all.

  19. Man, Brightburn was a good flick! I hope there is a sequel.

      Yes, but.. he is evil.

      save2600 - That was the entire point, without actually being official it (copyright and all that) this is literally the unofficial Superboy Prime storyline where he uses his insane power for evil.

      Alrighty then... lol

  20. My first lasagna from scratch was a rousing success! Used 2 1/2 lbs of beef, nearly 2 lbs. each of shredded ched and mozz, 2 jars of sauce and a f***ton of spices. Absurdly good!

  21. The big tree in my yard fell over yesterday and completely missed my house, fence and telephone wires! LUCKY! Spent much of today sawing/chopping it up. Anyone need firewood?

      I'm glad it didn't hit anything.

      That happened to us one December- got the power lines, but missed the house by inches and fell in-between the cars in the driveway. Power company fixed the lines within a few hours. Found a strange lady poking around our yard a couple hours later- when I went out, she popped up holding a pair of clippers and asked if she could get some greenery for Christmas wreaths. Told her sure, go nuts.

       

       

      Glad you made it out unscathed!

      ^Thanks! We should maybe do a "house damage" thread sometime.

  22. How annoying.. YouTube needs to bring back a way to upload an intro to your videos, that you can make the intro to ALL your uploaded videos.

  23. Yay Blazers!

      Well to your worst nightmare Blazers :) Nice Bay Area battle coming up

      Not thrilled with the GS matchup, but they'll be without KD for at least a little while. Still no Boogie either.

  24. Cool! New personal best high scores today on Dig Dug, Burgertime and Pac-Man (original arcade cabinets) today!

      Great classic arcade in Portland OR called GROUND KONTROL. They got a bar, menu and theme/contest nights.
