      I think that's what happened.  They were in "Market Research" class.  Then on the day of the test,  they copied off of HardWork's paper!

      Ohhh,  and then  KITT probably won an Emmy for all of his HardWork on Knight Rider,  and Tommy Tallarico thought it was his Emmy...

      A Star Trek TnG spoof movie. I haven't seen it myself, so I was wondering if he watched it -- if it's "good", meaning hilariously bad, I'll buy it for myself. LOL

      NES is for people who can't type LOAD"*",8,1. I do like my NES, it's got good games, but it's not as great as people like AVGN and Pat The NES Punk say. There are better 8-bits, like Commodore 64 and Atari.

  5. Does anyone have $10 I can borrow? I need a nail to hang up this picture.

      When I was working as a construction laborer I had a piece of tiny debris hit me in the eye the day before I was going to the beach. It felt like I had something stuck in my eye for 3 or 4 days. I tried going into the salt water but it was very painful. lol

      Yep, that's what led me to gravitate toward 20jeans. If they're equal quality to what the $50-$100 pairs are, but only $20 since the middle man is cut out, I'll definitely be buying more!

      Also, be sure to play games in 1080p. I find 4K, particularly with using rotational control with the classic controller, unplayable.

      We're trying to not be fatasses (I lost 90lb but then gained 30 back in the last 2 months due to depression) so we have to cut any sugar, but I'd love to try this with Dr. Pepper sauce!

      I love gumbo, especially the Zatarain's!  I usually put ham, sausage or shrimp in mine.

  12. I mean this not as criticism, but why is it that the new "retro" consoles (Amico and VCS) are always flooded with "Y'know what would be great? The nine hundredth version of <insert arcade games here>! There aren't seventy other systems to play that on or anything!"

      That's what I don't understand, why people can't tell the difference between a $60 Flashback with more 2600 games than a $300 VCS which is a low end PC.

       

      Maybe had Atari SA communicated the purpose of the VCS better than they did then there wouldn't be so much confusion...oh wait, I'm just another "hater" trying to give constructive criticism for a product made for easy triggered social media junkies instead of actual retro gamers. :roll:

    3. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      In their defense (albeit very little) I think it's an incredibly hard market to figure out. Frankly, we don't live in a world of "niche" products anymore - even the stuff that's "indie" is big business on major consoles. There's no middle ground - either you make the retro crowd happy with Flashbacks and other inexpensive (relatively) nostalgia-machines and member-berry production, or you (miserably fail) at attempting AAA stuff to compete with MSonyTendo.

       

      Ouya proved that singlehandedly by dying on the vine almost instantly. There just isn't a market for something like this, even well executed (and admittedly Atari certainly didn't execute well)...

      Funny,  My CollectorVision Phoenix is fun as hell and was made by a couple of guys I know (of) from here on AtariAge...My Dragonfly cart arrived today but I haven't had a chance to check it out, but fingers crossed.  And Again, that too... it was a fan project...And look at all the homebrews!

       

      Maybe if Atari SA  A) Had more than one brain cell in their collective head,  and B) Wasn't so busy trying to rip people off...I could go on (and On and On) but really I'm going to stop here.   I'm not going to make excuses for them...(I could figure out the market better than them without even turning on my brain, because I happen to like video games...)

      Make up some piece of paper, make it yellow and copy some cryptic symbols from a movie and a warning in English wrapped around said paper.  "If he enters your house, he must not leave!" - "You have been warned.".  Stuff it into something on the monkey and "discover" it.

      The only use I've found for Panera (outside of emergency WiFi when travelling): they do a decent-but-not-amazing clam chowder in a bread bowl on Fridays.  If nothing else in the immediate area seems appealing, it's doable, but if there are other options I'll generally just move on down the road to someplace more interesting.

       

      And I've always wondered if the same people who designed their store interiors also did doctors' office waiting rooms in the late '90s / early 2000s.  Similar colours, textures, even the furniture has that trying-to-be-nice-but-it's-still-institutional feel to it.
