  1. Getting my Gottlieb Haunted House tomorrow. Going to move it up out of someone's basement and down into mine. Pray for my back.

      I'd help out!  Of course we'd have to drink some beer and play some Haunted House afterwards!

      Just slap one of those Team Lift stickers on it and that should do it.

  2. Looking at a Gottlieb Haunted House tonight. Hopefully not another dead end

      That was the first pinball game I ever played as a kid! It's fantastic.

      Went and saw it. Easily the nicest Haunted House in the state. I'll pay a pretty penny for it but itll be mine by the end of the week!

      No, it's a motorized stair climbing dolly. Takes all of the muscle out of moving really heavy things up and down stairs.

      EDIT: I guess this is a better video

      Like Escalade + Catera = Esca...Well you get the idea   (heh)

  4. Funny how the best Black Metal album of 2015 isnt even satanic:

  5. Megadeth's Dystopia blows the hell out of Slayer's Repentless. Better album in every single way.

      Any Megadeth > Any Slayer, imho. Just not a fan of Slayer. I appreciate what they do, but it doesn't connect with me at all any more. Used to like to Reign in Blood and Seasons in HS, but that was a long time ago.

      LOVE MEGADETH!!!

  6. Saw Black Sabbath last night. Ozzy sounded alright except on Into the Void and Iron Man. Geezer and Tony were tight, and the new drummer wasnt slacking either.

  7. Good morning, that’s a nice tnetennba

  8. If at any time in 2015 I offended, annoyed, or made you angry, suck it up. 2016 aint gonna be any different

      None of us remember who you are, so maybe you haven't been annoying enough.

  9. Did 2015 have any redeeming qualities?

      New games for the Jaguar (and ST ports), PLUTO!! Mars information, Star Wars, Hunger Games, Flash, Arrow, Doctor Who, and many personal victories. Got a sucky review at work, but kicked much ass. :D Star Raiders 2 released on the Atari 8-bits. A good year.

    4. InnovaX5

      Star Wars 7, Tons of new releases for Atari, NES, SNES, AES/MVS, Dreamcast and many other retro consoles. Fallout 4 and Mario Maker!

      Thanks a lot... now I'm going to be hearing that song in my sleep!

      I'm pretty sure every George Thorogood song came about by simply getting drunk and rolling tape.

  14. Had to issue a stop payment with my bank today because Gamestop charged me twice for a used PS3 that they wouldn't deliver because my shipping address doesn't match my billing address.

      Fucking Gamestop

      The games stop at GameStop..

       

  15. Nothing quite like 6 cups of shitty coffee after an all-nighter

  16. It frightens me how much N64 games have increased in value. Games that I wouldn't pay more than $5 for 5 years ago are now worth $40+.

      Gobbled up as many as i could a couple years ago, including mulitple copies of clayfighter sculptor's cut. Glad i did.

       

    3. Rick Dangerous

      Where did you find multiple copies of that? Missing it myself but not overly sad since the game sucks. Also refuse to pay 200 for worms since I have it for DC

      I noticed the trend of N64 games rising sharply a couple years ago. I also have a friend that operates a vintage gaming store here in Chico ( a college town). He noticed that the college kids were coming in droves asking for N64 stuff. I took a chance on gobbling up rares on eBay for N64 and SNES and so far it seems to have paid off. Not sure if it has peaked and i should unload them or if i should just hold on to them. I collect everything so i am happy just to keep the stuff at present.

  17. Just got back from seeing Slayer and King Diamond. Drunk assholes almost ruined the night but I had a good time anyway

    1. Random Terrain

      But getting drunk is as American as apple pie and stealing land from Native Americans.

      You weren't one of them?

      Nah. I prefer to see my bands while sober.

  18. I descended further into audio hipsterdom by buying a Minidisc player yesterday. Can't wait to convert my vinyl records into minidisc so I can get the complete hipster experience.

      I've got one of those too. Have NO idea what to do with it.

      I have a sony minidisc deck and a sony minidisc walkman. Love them!

      Sarah Jessica Parker's better days, imo.

  20. You know it's time to upgrade when a game lists your exact specs as minimum recommended settings

    1. Rick Dangerous

      Rick Dangerous

      You need at least a Pentium 133 mhz to play this game..

    2. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      Or it's time to give up on the upgrade cycle and play games on a proper system. Like the 2600.

  21. It's a Testament kind of night

    1. DoctorTom

      DoctorTom

      Both testaments are good, but the New one contains the good news.
