  1. As long as I can remember I've always trusted professional game reviews from IGN and GameSpot to advise me on which games are worth playing and which aren't, but I'm starting to think that modern game reviewers have just gotten too picky. When you're slamming a game and giving it a bad score for running at 30 frames per second and not 60 that's just ridiculous.

      I do wish that Checkered Flag for Jaguar had 30fps...

  2. My eBay package came from China!!! Dah-duhh-dah-duh (ominous horror movie sounds).

  3. I got one of those 'Pandora's box 4s' jamma emulation kits because it was cheap. Turns out it's cheap because it's total garbage. I hope people don't start thinking old games are supposed to play like that.

  4. I imagine Intel is pretty freaked right now, but when I first heard about the bug affecting just about everything they've made for 10 years, my first thought was how clever it is that we all need to go out and buy new systems.

      kickstarter too for me, and LotR Online (which I used once, I guess??)

      But my email is super old, which is still found in old newsgroups.

  9. F'n' yahoo. They now play commercials while you are trying to view email and it bogs it down.

      There is an option in firefox, maybe chrome to stop autoplay videos in about:config

  11. For those concerned, I am in an area of Florida which is not expected to take a major hit from Irma, though we will be affected with at least tropical storm conditions. I am ready, prepared, and will be fine. Of course, the only problem with being ready so early is the waiting...

  12. I've got a dead car battery in my garage that I'm giving away. You can have it at no charge!!

  13. Egh, I'm attempting to program stuff with my ZX81 and even with the RAM pack duct-taped onto the system it still crashes if I move the thing a bit - I think I need a better solution...

  14. I know I want to get my first classic computer in the near future but I just can't seem to make up my mind whether to go with an Atari 800XL or TI-99/4A. Any thoughts?

  15. Stupid neighbors got a new dog. It likes to howl when it's outside all the time.

  16. Planning to interview Nolan Bushnell again for my radio show. Any true Atari fans with positive tech questions for uncle Nolan direct them here... Other than that enjoying this Friday! ;) Gaming binge night and further edits on my upcoming comicbook release..

  17. I recently went to a video game market and picked up a couple of games for the PS1: Ridge Racer and Colin McRae Rally. I have played Ridge Racer, which seems to be a fun arcade racer with enjoyable physics. I haven't played CMR yet though...

  18. I went to replace the household's old broken Xbox 360 with a PS3 this week and was rather shocked when the game store sales rep informed me that most PS3 games can't be played off the disc and that the discs are just used to install games to the hard drive like on a computer. As you might have guessed I left without purchasing a PS3.

      That's a BS, you dont install full games to the HD on PS3, some PS3 games have a minimum install and it's printed on the game box. All PS3 games have some kind of patches that fix bugs and may be required update to play online.

      So, if you are planning to play the games offline that would be fine and all work (except online only games)

      I wonder if the sale person confused PS3 with PS4, because it's true for PS4.

  20. So the wife wanted one of those yeti cups for her b-day. How did they pull it off so people wanted a $50 travel mug that needs another $50 in accessories to be as usable as the average $12 travel mug?

      Marketing?

      Just get yourself a proper thermos (with the glass inside), and will be set.
