      At versus about... My preposition recognition algorithm is off-line today.?

      Preposition choice, now THAT'S something to justifiably get angry about!

      You can get angry ABOUT a big boss that is almost impossible to beat, throw the controller across the room, then stomp on the console until your feet bleed. :D

  2. In case anyone (HA) was wondering, I decided to keep the collection. Depressedposting: DO NOT DO.

      I read that as if you were about to offload your collection to Hell's Angels.

      Good job Carlsson!  At least a slightly obscure reference...I knew some people who'd just say H A if they meant Hell's Angels...

      Sometimes a challenge to know when you are not completely... you.  :P   A little off is what I mean.

  3. In serious news, I've officially graduated with my Juris Doctor (JD) & Master of Laws (LLM) summa cum laude / Order of the Coif, #4 in my class, and received a graduation award! Now on to getting licensed in both AZ and in federal court.

  4. In the new house. My gaming room has access to the front balcony. Why, do you ask? For evening whiskey and cigars after a group gaming session.

  6. Insurance called. They decided to total my car. :( Oh well, a real shame I had to go ahead and buy the Nissan 370Z I was looking at. Sad! :D

      They installed an NES in it and it became completely worthless to anyone with taste!

      sad that a 40 year old Atari sitting outside in storage for at least 2 decades still works and will outlast $20k vehicles built less than 10 years ago....

      Congratulations? 

       

      Not sure how to feel here. It's bad that you had a car wreck, but good that you're getting a cool new car. (I assume there was a wreck, & that no one was hurt.)

  7. Is it just me or have prices for just about everything "retro" skyrocketed into ludicrous territory?

      Yeah Adventure Vision by Entex!   Always wanted one but never saved the dough for it.  In 1982 (Sears Catalog) they were $80 (came with Defender) and each game was $15.  So $125 for all of it!  I kept meaning to order one but something else would come along, bought a mini pinball, bought Atari and Coleco games, and a Vectrex...Then after I got a computer + Internet, and found eBay...Well, they've been in the thousands ever since!  (Haven't looked lately,  Would 2 grand still get ya a complete set?...Probably not)

    3. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      I'm glad I kept what I kept at least. Though sad about selling what I sold (near complete SMS collection (both US and EU) and my PCJr and /4a stuff) at least I'll pretend they got me here today. LMAO

    4. thanatos

      thanatos

      Yeah, it's the opposite of what I thought would happen.  I thought there would be a lot of selling and lower prices due to furloughs and businesses closing.  Crazy.

  9. It's a miracle all the consoles I don't like were a success, compared to all the consoles I do like.

    1. Corby

      Corby

      Perhaps you should start hating on the poor little shit Amico, maybe it'll start being a success

    2. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      What are you talking about man, the Amico is already a smash hit and a culture changing icon!

  10. It's all so tiresome.

      Job 2: Clean out / possibly replace the pots on the Apple monitor, as apparently the brightness pot is dirty.

  14. Just emailed to schedule my Technician and General Amateur Radio License Exams ?

    1. BDW

      BDW

      Good luck! Technician is pretty common sense and General shouldn't be too tough if you studied.

    2. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      Thanks! Yeah, Technician just seems like basic radio use / common sense. General so far seems pretty simple also. I'm getting them for emergency purposes in case we get stuck Jeep trail running in the desert!

      with the interest rates on those offers that we get, i think i'm in the wrong business!

      save2600

      That's nothing... I just received an "official" offer to extend the factory warranty on my car, from one of those unofficial fly-by-night insurance companies! Such a deal.  :D

      WHOA! Step aside gents, we have a true man-about-town playboy walking by!

      Gonna recommend the NP242, because a locking centre diff is *damned* useful and will handle a 350 no problem.  Can verify that it's absolutely usable with a manual transmission, despite what teh intarwebz will say.  Will require modifying driveshaft lengths, though.

       

      That said, have you given thought to a 4.0 stroker?  Keep the bottom end of the 258, mate it to a 4.0 head, do a few other tweaks, and walk out with a 4.5-litre straight-6 with no need to get crazy with mounts, etc.  Not that those are a huge problem for a 350 swap - but I really love the I6 :)

    3. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      Hmm, looking at that I'd probably get enough of a HP increase for my needs. I don't need a 550HP / tons of torque beast because I'll never tow anything heavier than a small pop-up tent trailer with it.

    4. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      I should also just jump the gun and put HEI in it, as that's a cheap gain of 20-30 usually.

  24. Look at that chump with exactly 8,353 posts but absolutely nothing to say. MORON
