  1. Can someone sue me if I buy a domain name that sounds like their company? Maybe a .net, .info, .US ?

  2. Looked up somewere how much my domain name Yanluz.com was worth and it said $97!

      I wish they were selling the fourth gen ones for a reasonable price. Apple products are expensive, and tend to stay that way.

      My ipod video from 2006 just died a month ago. over the years I had the battery replaced 1 time and the headphone jack 1 time by a friend.

      I go on there, but Cape Cod is horrible for arcade stuff. I also need a truck lol.

  5. Bought an Apple SE/30 on goodwill in 2003 for $25. Now I see people on eBay selling it for $400! I wish I still had it.

      The "enthusiasm" for certain classic Macs is a little nuts. See also: Color Classic.

      I have a macintosh se that i bought in December for 60 dollars and the same model and everything now sells for 200!

      Yeah, makes me wish I didn't junk the SE/30 I bought at Goodwill Computer Works for $20 about 14 years ago.

  6. Painting my new dedicated game room, ceiling and trimmings are done, now onward to the walls!

      I was thinking of painting my room to be 1-1 of Super Mario Bros. You should have done the same thing!

      This is my 1st time ever painting. maybe next time.

  7. Okay, I am never going to build my own PC again! Not worth the stress, a best buy computer never crashed on me... (expletive)

      Same here. I built a computer from parts purchased from Newegg in 2001 and then upgraded that system in 2004 and 2007. When it finally crapped out in 2009, the hassle and cost of doing that again just wasn't worth it and I bought a HP from Best Buy (still going strong, upgraded of course). The days of building desktop systems at home and doing it well and cheap are over unless you're a expert.

      Clock cycle for clock cycle, a factory built laptop is more reliable than a desktop.

       

      And it's not so much having to be an expert, as it is a matter of finding the right parts to work with each other. In an era of less selection and stricter compatibility guidelines.

      This is the 1st PC that I ever owned that made me wanna toss it against the wall. and is also the 1st time where I had a powerhouse that can run any game... go figure.

  8. Voice acting on Just Cause 2 is horrible... fun game though. but wow!

      Yeah I just ignored the story and went around conquering the map instead. Played for over 100 hours.

      I hope the Xbox 360 gets a third one.

  9. Crashed on the Mun in KSP! Sweet progress... many deaths but all worth it for a brief glimpse at the Mun.

  10. True orbit achieved on KSP... Next step: The Mun!

  11. Just starting to understand how to do a proper orbit around the home planet in Kerbal space program... so much trial and error!

  12. 1st successful manned flight on Kerbal Space Program, went up and came back down alive. Now lets go further... Love this game.

      What is this game and where can one find it?

    3. Cebus Capucinis

      Cebus Capucinis

      It's on Steam. :) I've put a Kerbal in orbit but ran out of fuel so far, so I couldn't get him back out of orbit....LOL

      It's an early access game. Got an orbiter in a long range orbit around the sun. Have no idea how to reach even the nearest moon.

  13. what is twitter for if I already have a facebook account? I have yet to make a twitter account... what does it give me that facebook doesn't?

  14. we are having a yard sale for furniture, i'm thinking about putting some video game systems for sale, how much should I charge for a Genesis with a couple of Sonic games? I'm just gonna throw it in the mix to see if I can get some money for different games.

    1. Nall3k

      Nall3k

      You won't get much if you sell them in a yard sale, I recommend selling them here or on ebay to get a better price.

    2. RickR

      RickR

      Mark it $20, but accept an offer of $15.

    3. slab0meat

      slab0meat

      Yep.. not much. You save the time and effort of posting, waiting, and shipping, for the potential price trade-off.

  15. Having fun with LFD2; as always I'm years late to the party.

  16. Wow, DS9 is already much better than Voyager. I'm already enjoying the characters. Hooked.

      That episode had Andrew's (guy who played Garak) daughter in it opposite Tony Todd. Wait til you see PAst Tense 1 and 2...very good storytelling there!

      BTW, my fave episodes are towards the end...the one with the interdimensional mines and the one with the Breen.

      Just watched all Star Treks, Voyager, Original, NG, Enterprise, and now I'm working my way through the animated series. Great fun, although ST Enterprise was the worst of the lot.

  17. Anyone here was got the OUYA early since they donated to kickstarter?

      DS9 is generally regarded as one of the better Trek series. But be sure to watch Voyager later too.

      Sub up to Netflix for a couple months. It has all the Star Trek eps and a few of the movies.

  19. Only 2 episodes left on Voyager season 2 for me... Now debating.. should I go to season 3 or get season 1 of DS9? I'm really starting to enjoy but wanna see what DS9 is like....

      I believe they were so stupid they were forcefully ejected from Earth in the first place.

      I remember leaving the show for some reason for a season or two (Kess wasn't there when I returned). However, the show has one of the best endings and if you like Trek, you wouldn't want to miss the lead up to it.

    4. ClassicGMR

      ClassicGMR

      Funny... I just finished watching DS9 from start to finish via Netflix. I missed a lot while it was on air. Easily my favorite Trek series. It's almost the "real life" side of the Federation and still has a gripping quality to it.

  20. Got VIP tickets to see Steven Adler July 7th! Super excited.

  21. Season 2 of voyager is here! Hurray. just finsihed my 3rd episode.

  22. so excited for the OUYA. So much retro-modern gaming potential!

      My OUYA game uses a hand-drawn style with a fish-eye lens. :P

      You're on Atariage and you don't like 8-bit style? Hmm..

    4. Csonicgo

      Csonicgo

      large pixels and lots of colors? they underestimate 8-bit. Look at Master system and Game Gear. Tons of colors.

  23. I need a podcast logo for my podcast about retro games... does anyone know a best way to get one?

  24. Anybody here pre-order Paradox's March of the Eagles? I can't wait to play it.

  25. Are they allowed to air The big Bang Theory in Alabama?

      What an odd question. Why would you ask that? Is this a dig on Alabama?
