Another Original 2600 Boulder Dash
Cebus Capucinis replied to groundtrooper's topic in Auction Central
I'm all for it. The clowns who hoard these games and sell them for 10x, despite the free market, are obnoxious and, IMO, deserve to have their values of their stuff tank! -
It's been fun, all. Winding down activity, so I'll still answer a PM or two for a bit before shuttering the doors.

Another Original 2600 Boulder Dash
Cebus Capucinis replied to groundtrooper's topic in Auction Central
I'll fess up, it was mine. I wasn't motivated by money though (frankly I don't track that stuff anyway), so I don't really care what it went for, which is why the original bid was $50 (as I think that's what I paid BITD?) To be candid I haven't followed most of this stuff for 10 years, so I wasn't even aware there was a potential timing issue with respect to availability (and to be honest I'm glad this great game IS available again!), not that it would have mattered anyway. This stuff is literally just "I went through boxes in my garage and am throwing stuff up there / here whenever I find it" tactics. I'm just getting out of the hobby and trying to get rid of all my stuff. (and yes, that probably means hitting the ol' dusty trail with respect to AA once again). Congrats to the buyer (who I'll not reveal), they got a good deal. -
I especially love that half of it is lies by omission and fails to recognize that the "financial crisis" and Beetle problems were REPEATEDLY given assistance (including by myself, much to my chagrin for being a sucker) via monetary gifts and attempts to help, yet resulted only in buying more cheap crap and then getting further and further in debt. I say this with little care anymore if I get censured or chastised. Speaking as one of a long line of people who tried to help and only saw our assistance lead to nothing, result in the purchase of more toys (or even worse, to be openly rebuffed because it wasn't "good enough" such as demanding a HOTEL ROOM to sleep in instead of couch surfing or using a guest bedroom while the Beetle was getting repaired FOR FREE), AS MUCH AS THE COMPLAINING ABOUT MONEY OCCURS, AS MUCH AS YOUR SYMPATHY OR HEARTSTRINGS ARE PULLED, DO NOT PROVIDE "HELP." IT WILL NOT GO ANYWHERE. IT WILL NOT BE USED FOR THE INTENDED PURPOSE. THIS HAS BEEN PROVEN TO THE TUNE OF OVER $2500 AT THIS POINT. That's all. I'm done being off topic about this and I'm done with this particular individual. This has gotten beyond ridiculous and every AA user should be aware of the grift alert. I just hope this doesn't get deleted alongside all the other off topic posts when a mod cleans this dumpster fire up (inevitably), because I think it's becoming a serious issue and is vitally important that users on this site be aware that this is going on, lest a fool and their money be parted by manipulation.

Hahahaha apparently I'm having minor allergy problems this time of year. I just learned that angioedema is a new symptom, because I'm waking up in the morning with lips the size of small countries. I didn't get really bad Botox, I swear!

I had a nightmare.....that I was playing NES. GROSS.

The Atari interview discussion thread
Cebus Capucinis replied to Savetz's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
I'm out. EDIT: Okay now I'm out. Holy crap. -
THIS HAS ALREADY BEEN DISCUSSED™️
-
You only get Awful Electronics, made in Netherland. They're awful because their schematics consist entirely of dead punctuation.

If I recall, several people throughout the years have offered to help, whether it be help Brad update the site, create an automated store process, or just help fill orders. At least a portion of those people volunteered with no expectation of payment or discount, and just wanted the experience of seeing it all. Brad turned them all down, if I remember, stating that he can't trust anyone else to do it. (Which, fair enough, it's his stuff, after all.)
-
I always thought there was something, and if I remember it might have been lushgirl's show that brought it up, about how the systems were always behind the times a bit (like they'd have been clearance at the time they showed up) as a slight but cheeky way, like the other set pieces, of indicating that the Bundy household wasn't well off.
-
The cabinet looks like a repurposed video poker machine, or one of those tabletop bar machines that they've tinkered with to make look more like a cabaret.
-
Holy crap, can you imagine if Brad had a giant listing and a cornered market on NES parts as well? WHOA, IT'S LIKE A CROSSOVER
-
I remember seeing it, but I never played it. All my quarters went into "Crabs."
-
Price added. TBH I have no clue. Item will be changing this weekend and it goes up on the evil auction website. EDIT: OFF TO EVIL AUCTION LAND IT GOES. FLIP R'CADE GAMES ADDED.

The wheat flour sourdough starter is officially READY! Time to slow fermentation in the fridge and make some delicious bread on Saturday!

Scarborough Systems' Your Personal Net Worth
Cebus Capucinis replied to Gunstar's topic in Atari 8-Bit Computers
So you could say that the real personal net worth was the friends we made along the way. -
Remember that they can only produce a console if Soulja Boy approves, since he owns Atari now.
-
As a real answer, something similar to what they've already done on the DS. They're just fun, goofy little kid-style games that are great for the whole family, i.e. precisely the demographic TT was pretending to want.
-
NOT A CHANCE!
-
I actually don't have ANY of that stuff anymore! I kept my Atari 800 lamp for like the...last 3 moves? Then it ended up getting given away or something? I can't remember but I know I got rid of everything in connection with that stuff already!
-
Yeah, I don't understand those freaks who like family gaming either.
