  1. Those new Atari Jaguar Pro Controllers are absolutely freaking fantastic! The best investment I ever made in my Jaguar collection. My Jag has been getting more play than ever before.

      I did find that one of the two I ordered had the interal board for the joypad mounted slightly off-center. There are some instructions for fixing this in the Jag forum - very easy to do.

  2. As a kid I ate Mr. T cereal, Nintendo cereal, Pac-Man cereal, GI Joe cereal, Batman cereal and C-3POs.

      Sugar Smacks, Sugar Corn Pops, Cookie Crisp, CW Post, Grape Nuts, Malt-O-Meal, Cracklin' Oat Bran...Truly when I was a kid it was whichever had the "best" toy :)

      Cereal toys were so much better when the companies didn't worry about us choking to death on them.

  3. What’s your GI Joe codename? Mine would be Slinky, because I’m always slinking around.

  4. GI Joe is the codename for America's daring, highly trained, special mission force. Its purpose: To defend human freedom against COBRA, a ruthless, terrorist organization determined to rule the world.

      Only now, decades later, are we learning that COBRA wanted to provide universal healthcare, a $30/hr. minimum wage, and a guaranteed basement/rec room arcade for everyone.

      How do you soften a mustache? Ask someone with swamp ass to sit on your face?

      I'd put Pepsi way lower.. I don't like the type of sweetness to it-- tastes like children's vitamins to me!

  7. Is anyone else going to purchase the Mega Sg from Analogue Interactive? If so what controller will you be using? The system promises zero lag, but their advertised wireless controller from 8bitdo is known to have latency issues.

      I had a laggy 8bitdo bluetooth (that's dead now), but the sega 2.4ghz unit has been working great for me. I plan on using it for everything but fighting games, since the d-pad doesn't rock on a pivot point.

      The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness.

      a true soda connoisseur can tell which brand and flavor it is just from the smell leaking out of the computer/console.

  11. Captain Marvel? More like Captain Mediocre. A solid 6/10 movie. I’m a little worried about her role in Endgame now.

      There's a rumour that there are two versions of Endgame, depending on CM's numbers.

      The movie was little less action and more Suspense I found, but I ultimately liked it.

    4. Laner

      I haven't seen the movie, but if she sweeps in and saves the day where the rest of the heroes could not (with no mention of her prior to Infinity War), that's some pretty egregious deus ex machina.

  14. If you did not receive a 2017 or 2018 collectible arcade token please send me a PM. They are being mailed out today. A personal emergency and a move across the country caused a tremendous delay. Things are back on track and we hope to have a 10th anniversary coin later this year. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

  21. YouTube had the best TV show of last year with Cobra Kai. Now they’ve got an early contender for the best show of this year with Wayne. Watch your back Netflix.

      Plus Google owns YouTube, so they have deep pockets and the Google Play infrastructure. We rent at least 3 or 4 movies a month on Google Play. They can pivot into a subscription service pretty quick. YouTube has a subscription service but it's only to make their service ad-free and to watch their original stuff, but I am sure they could pivot and add content from the distributors like Sony, Universal, etc..
