  2. Nobody cared who I was until I put on the hamburger t-shirt, and then when I did they cared even less.

      Yes, this is is the American Department of Redundancy Department of America, yes it is.

  3. We'll have a brand new collectible coin available at PRGE 2017. Hope to see you there! If you're already on the mailing list don't worry, I've got you covered!

  4. I had an amazing time at Power Con this weekend. A really fun show and a great community of people. Already looking forward to next year.

  6. Can we just talk about how ALF is the greatest television show ever made? About how this amazing TV program about an alien visitor made you a better person just by watching it?

    1. TheTIGuy

      TheTIGuy

      Yeah, 'cept for the cat-eating... the schemes to do so are hilarious though.

      If we eat cows and chickens, then why not cats?

      Alf was one of the most popular TV shows in the former USSR after the "iron curtain" came down.

      Then he tells him to shut up for ten minutes.

  8. The summer winds, came blowing in, from across the sea. Wait a minute, the summer is over. Why is it 106 degrees?

      Yep, LOL, 5pm and it is 100 right now here.

  9. Page upon page of soup recipes, just like your mother used to make, only not as good.

    1. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      You tried them all?

  10. Initial thoughts. Why do I need 2 buttons to play 2600 games? Why does it have fewer games than the Atari Flashback Portable? I don't want that weird analog input device, I want a standard D-Pad. It appears there's no place to insert a SD memory card, unless it's under the battery cover. Is the hardware just system on a chip? If so then how is it better than the Flashback Portable? I'll wait for the reviews before I make my final judgment, but I've got a feeling I'm going to pass on this one.
  11. I think it was Shakespeare who said "everybody have fun tonight, everybody wang chung tonight."

    1. Bryan

      Bryan

      Few people know that the band of the same name took their name from Shakespeare.

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I also think that's probably Shakespeare...When he wasn't shaking his pear at us...He was hiding future lyrics in those plays of his...

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      And you thought he shook a spear...

  12. Even though I expected Mayweather to win, that was still a great fight.

      Absolutely a good time! I think McGregor did better than anyone expected him to.

      doctorclu

      Nice long fight. Like McGregor, I would have like to see him hit the mat. Other than that, great.

      Glad to hear it! I read the twitter comments this morning and it sounded like it was well worth the $100.

  13. 7-11 claims that what I am eating is an "egg salad sandwich." It appears to be made out of an egg-like substance. That's where the similarity ends.

    1. Jess Ragan

      Jess Ragan

      Maybe it'll make you super smart, like that episode of Futurama! Or just super sick.

    2. Nathan Strum

      Nathan Strum

      "7-11" and "egg salad sandwich" are two phrases that should never, ever be used together.

       

      Like "truck stop" and "sushi".

  14. I'm busy moving to another state. Sadly I missed my chance to pre-order. Weird thing is that I got the SNES Classic with no problems. Huh.
  15. Look out Atari Age! This is a rumble! Everyone put up your dukes!!

  16. So, were you able to order the SNES Classic or did you get skunked?

    1. Skippy B. Coyote

      Skippy B. Coyote

      Skunked so hard I'll be soaking in a tub of tomato juice for days before the smell comes out.

    2. Flojomojo

      Flojomojo

      I don't believe in the "classic mini," not until I can see and touch it with my own eyes. I hope the scalpers drown in the unicorn tears they are hoarding.

      Not gonna fall for Big N's bait & switch tactics again, plus I never cared for the SNES when it first came out.

  17. I have created a friendless Facebook account. An account where no one can send me a friend invite. I did it merely to follow a few pages and participate in groups. I've gone against the very nature of Facebook itself.

    1. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      I've "unfollowed" 3/4ths of my FB friends, I pretty much use it to check in on a couple of groups.

    2. HoshiChiri

      HoshiChiri

      My Facebook account doesn't even have my real name on it. It's not blocked from friend requests, but I never check it so I wouldn't accept one anyway. I was forced to make one to link mobile games to. :s

  18. Went to Game Dude, my favorite video game store in LA. Been going there since 1991. When I left the store I ordered up a ride from Lyft. The driver who showed up was named Mario. Seemed appropriate.

    1. jd_1138

      jd_1138

      That's cool. I hope he didn't drive like Mario Kart. Lyft is less douchy off a co. than Uber supposedly.

    2. fdurso224

      fdurso224

      The legendary Game Dude is still going strong. I have a Neo-Geo game with the glossy sticker still attach to it Dr.

      I loved going to Game Dude when I lived in NoHo. I probably still have some of their price lists somewhere. I remember the clerks getting a chuckle out of Revenge of the Beefsteak Tomatoes when I bought it there.

  19. Is Dragon Box Shop the official site for McWill screens?

  20. Hooker's a good cop, man!

    1. Jess Ragan

      Jess Ragan

      In a bad show. I got that from the local library for two bucks. Even that was too much.

  21. Any thoughts or opinions on the Dreamcade Replay? A new micro console that runs emulators using Windows 10. It's up on Kickstarter now.

    1. dj_convoy

      dj_convoy

      It seems slightly more reputable than other projects of its ilk, since Dream Arcades has been around for a long time... Beyond that, I don't know. It is mildly intriguing for those of us who don't want to set up a Pi or whatever for a TV / MAME / emulator solution. To be honest, I'm a bit torn on whether I'd like to get one or not. I think it will be delivered. I don't know if it will be as robust and easy to use as they claim.

    2. MrMaddog

      MrMaddog

      If I can use Steam for in-house streaming as well as emulation then yeah i'll be interested.

    3. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      We'll the thread here on it has been quiet but my last two entries in it were actual video of various emulators running on it by Youtuber ETAprime so see for yourself! http://atariage.com/ forums/topic/254358-dreamcade-replay/?hl=+dreamcade#entry3827727 OR search DREAMCADE REPLAY to find the thread.

  22. Email sent for Alien vs Predator. Thanks very much!
  23. Got a ton of Atari Lynx carts today for just $50. Feeling very happy.

    1. OldSchoolRetroGamer

      OldSchoolRetroGamer

      A TON? Well that must be a lot of Lynx carts to weigh that much!

    2. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      I wonder if Atari ever shipped enough Lynx games to add up to a ton.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Is that a Lynx cart in your pocket or are you just feeling very happy?

  24. Is anyone still doing McWill screen upgrades on the Model 2 Atari Lynx? Going to be laid up with some health issues for a couple of months and I really, really want to get this done. I'm ready to go whenever you are.
