      Not too far out of the loop. It is from Earth Defense Force, which the host of CGR was a huge fan of. =)

      I blame him for Truxton prices, too.

  2. If I never update this status again, I guess the robocall I got telling me the IRS was going to arrest me was true.

      Woah, you already bought Raiden V? You sir are a man of impeccable taste! =O

  4. Waited all day for a FedEx package that was "Out for Delivery" only for that status to be erased at 7:30PM and replaced with a status that it had only just arrived at the area distribution center. This actually happens with alarming regularity with FedEx packages.

      Worst is waiting for critical parts to repair things. Ugh.

      I have had the same issue with both USPS and UPS.

      Is it a package from Amazon? Because I read that FedEx pressures the drivers to scan packages prematurely just to meet their Amazon SLAs.

  5. Excited for Super Robot Wars X

  6. I think I'm going to make a brand new user profile in order to post topics with lists of links to YouTube videos.

    1. CPUWIZ

      Then you will probably lose both profiles.

      I think I'll make a profile called CPUWlZ and see how it goes

  7. I keep getting to within 1K or 2K of my Seaquest high score. It's becoming irritating.

    1. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Every time someone says Seaquest I think of Sealab 2021. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sealab_2021

      The cart always overheats before then, unless I use an emulator. I die due to everything becoming spots.

      Or SeaQuest DSV hehe,..Yeah Sealab 2021 was the Bomb! Most of that adult Swim stuff from around there was Awesome! I loved ATHF, Space Ghost, Harvey Birdman, Frisky Dingo, Venture Bros. etc...

  8. 5.81 today! Beat my old score of 5.87.

      Squint a bit and it'll look like 5.51 ;)

      Looks like a 5.01 to me. ;)

      5.81 is impossible. (For me anyways)

      Zero-Zero-Zero. Destruct. Zero.

  10. If I'm thinking of getting a PS4, and I'm not interested in "Triple A" or virtual reality games, is there any reason for me to bother with a Pro model?

      Now if more games get a performance setting for 1080p/60fps over enhancement, that would be nice. Consistent frame rate and HDR is probably more important than 4k (think original PS4 already does HDR).

    3. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      Plain PS4 is good enough for me. IF you're this late to the game, it's probably fine for you, too.

    4. Skippy B. Coyote

      Skippy B. Coyote

      I think the most important question that needs to be asked here is "Do you need a PS4 Pro to play Raiden V?" The answer to that question is "no", so the standard model should be just fine. ^_^

  11. As of now, I am unemployed.

      You weren't a head coach in the NFL, were you?

       

      Jokes aside, that sucks and I wish you well. Better things will come your way. :)

  12. The Defender is my favorite Pac Man Fever album song. It's because, to me, the sections where the song switches to game sound fx and instrumentals most capture that ambiance of an early 80s arcade.

      The title song and Do The DK are my faves. I kind of like MouseTrap and the weird Frogger's Lament. I am proud to have made Do The DK for karaoke and sang it in public.

    3. jaybird3rd

      @RT: Not a bad reordering! Like you, I much prefer the original recordings, even though I bought the 1999 CD and the 30th Anniversary MP3s.

      I don't know if I can pick a fav. They are all awesome! I think I used to make a mint selling bootleg cassettes of this album back in the early days of eBay. Helped me buy my first house!

  13. I think the internet should be renamed "The Last Jedi Reaction Channel" lately.

      don't bother with the last two installments, You might even pass on them when they hit TV or net flix, poor poor, poor. only good thing is eye candy.

      Rogue One is fine though. That I can watch.

      A friend commented that watching the new flick is akin to watching a dumpster fire. I replied, "I disagree. A dumpster fire is, at least, somewhat interesting to watch."

  14. If this works out, it's going to be great. Old job ends, pays me to go away. I catch up on all my bills, pay off the car. Then after an extended all bills paid vacation I start the new job.

      Actually recently went though that myself. And yes, fun. :D

  15. I've had Dragon Warrior 3 since the mid 90s but haven't spent major time with it until now. What took me so long?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Funny because I got Dragon Warrior (1) in college (1989)...And got right to the final battle, but somehow never finished it haha...Yeah what is taking so long? LOL

    2. moycon

      I loved the few DW games I played. They were really GREAT!

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      In 1990 my roommate finished the game, then our dorm neighbor was playing it, made it to the final battle, my roommate convinced him to join the bad guy instead of fight him and the game just abruptly ended! LOL

  16. Got the urge to play some Dragster and knocked my record time from a 5.97 to a 5.87, and can pretty reliably score in the low sixes. Is that any good?

    1. doctorclu

      doctorclu

      Way to curb stomp your younger self! :P

    2. Atarian7

      Atarian7

      Sounds good to me. I haven't even broken 6.

  17. I was looking through my high score book and saw I have a world record time of 5.47 at Dragster! (actually, 5.97, but my 9 looks like a 4)

    1. Skippy B. Coyote

      Skippy B. Coyote

      Do you have a friend who works in the record keeping department at Twin Galaxies and can vouch for your 4 that may or may not be a 9? If so then you should be qualified to be the new world record holder. ;)

  18. I've been playing some Roadwar 2000 today. I don't recall it being so difficult to start out.

    1. Tempest

      Tempest

      It can be if you get unlucky. I assume you're using fast combat and not doing the strategic stuff

    2. Gabriel

      Gabriel

      I'm doing strategic stuff when it comes up, but I had a long string of the game starting off with Invaders and Mutants attacking and wiping me out before I could do anything.

  19. By the end of the year I will be laid off from my job. This is a good thing. I am so happy to be cashing in my chips and moving on.

      I'm hoping to be laid off next year. Supposed to be coming after the first quarter, although i've been told it probably won't affect my group! I'm the only guy who WANTS a package!! LOL

  20. The wish power are together with you.

      moycon

      And also with you.

      shipping is always what gets you on import games. I ordered from Play-Asia and chose express. Total was about $80

      Is it worth an $80+ purchase?

  25. Why didn't anyone mention Super Robot Wars V has english subtitles and the series first appearance of the Yamato?
