    Remember when you saw the original LOTR movies and said "Alright! Great movies!" and then you heard about The Hobbit and said "Woo hoo! How could it not be good?" and then you saw all three and said "Aw dang ..."

      I didn't even make it to the second one. It wasn't even a bad movie really but the padding drove me nuts.

      Sucks. I remember when the news broke that he was suffering from Alzheimer's and was going to have to wrap up his writing career. Tough blow. Guy wrote some good books.

    Heartfelt congrats to the Seattle Seahawks! SUPER BOWL CHAMPS! Representing the Pacific Northwest! Woo-hoo!!! I initially though Harvin should be MVP but really, someone on defense deserved it.

      I wish they would have given it to the Legion of Boom collectively. Those guys are a brotherhood.

    The Game Gear is a royal piece of junk inside. I HATE trying to fix the stupid things. On the outside, though, it's a pretty decent little handheld.

      I gotta fix the sound capacitors on mine. I really want to enjoy the games but man, why does every Game Gear have to be a project? =(

      I've had good experiences using a bluetooth keyboard on my Nexus 7...I don't see why Windows tab would be any different. My issue with office work on a tab is the screen size.

      Worf: Recommend we fire photon torpedoes

      Picard: Negative Mr. Worf, we don't know their intentions

       

      And then the Star Destroyer blows Picard out of the sky

    I found this wierd 2600 game at a thrift yesterday. The label says "Jack be Nimble by Menavision" and has a picture of a guy jumping a series of candles. I haven't tested it yet but the contacts look really clean.

      What is this about Candle Jack. You can't say hi

      Must try this. Still used to doing things with Live CDs. I do have chrUbuntu on an SD card for my Chromebook and it is pretty awesome.

    Only 2 episodes left on Voyager season 2 for me... Now debating.. should I go to season 3 or get season 1 of DS9? I'm really starting to enjoy but wanna see what DS9 is like....

    1. Algus

      Algus

      DS9 is the best one but the first couple of seasons are pretty weak.

    Scored a R-8 Halloween (the one with no label just a piece of tape for the title) with the manual @ the retro show. Also got some r-9s and some r-7s that I already had. Paid over $500, but worth it to me.

    1. Algus

      Algus

      I finally got to see a real version in person the other day. It was the labeled variety though. The hand-written label would be one fun collector's piece to have.

    wonders why one would Buy It Now but not pay at the same time?

    1. Algus

      Algus

      Some sellers offer shipping discounts on multiple wins. If I buy multiple items from a seller, I always request an invoice, even on BiNs. One time I waited 5 days to pay because the seller wouldn't reply to my messages.

      Very compelling read. I think he overexaggerated in some places. Joe Lierberman just made up his own party when the Dems blocked him in the primary, but besides exceptions like that the author mostly gets it right.

      I don't even think what they said was all that unreasonable/unexpected but then they show the scores and they're a solid 2 points lower than I'd anticipate.

    I'm confused. On the USPS's website, it says I can get 25 flat-rate boxes for free. Does this mean I can just waltz in the post office, get 25 of them, and leave without paying for them?

    1. Algus

      Algus

      Many years ago I was on a forum that discovered this and a lot of users tried fleecing the USPS for tons of free boxes. Some of them got in trouble IIRC heh.

    I would like to start playing the Earthbound / Mother series. Any advice on where I shoulds start?

    1. Algus

      Algus

      Earthbound (SNES) is fine. Earthbound Zero is a poorly balanced, difficult game. Mother 3 is pretty good though.
