Don't feel bad. Same thing used to happen to me when I was in my mid-late 20's everytime I'd try to buy beer or wine, and I had a beard. Take it as a compliment. In another couple of year's they will stop asking, then you'll know you're old.

One thing I always did hate about the DC was that there was no one standard for VGA. So you had different adaptors and different games only worked with specific ones. That sucked!

This is great. Finish it, damn it! Anywho... I tried it under Stella, and it works. Then I tried it under EMU7800, which is 2600 compatable, and it doesn't work. For what it might be worth, here is a log dump. A2600NTSC ready TIA 1A reset PIA/RIOT M6532 reset M6502 CPU (PC:$d0f2) reset Machine A2600NTSC reset complete: 60 HZ 262 scanlines M6502 CPU:**UNKNOWN OPCODE: $e3 at $d1bd M6502 CPU:**UNKNOWN OPCODE: $e3 at $d1bd M6502 CPU: Processor Jammed

It's subjective, Just have them both. If only everyone would follow that advice in the Atari vs Commodore thread. Anywho, yeah. Different machines, different capabilities, both have their good games & bad. Get 'em both, or in lieu of that, get the one that has the most games that interest you.

I'm almost 101% sure I didn't. It seems liked this one guy took it apon himself to do it on his own because he was near it or something. That's the thing, I always have everyone selected, and it was one person. Just so happened to be the one of two characters that both have to reach the evac zone. I saw it in both level 3 and 4. Maybe an oddball random glitch that only makes it self known sometimes under certain circumstances like happens in other games (Fallout 3 for example)? Whatever the default is. I never bothered to look or change it. Anywho, the reason everyone got slaughtered is because of that one stupid guy. As I said, I made it to the evac zone, but didn't know he was still back by the bridge. So I figured I just had to wait for the rescue to come, and stood there and keep fighting as wave after wave kept comming. Wasn't till everyone was dead that I finally figured out the fool was still inside the base. It was impossible to get him, single handedly to the evac zone by that point.

Ditto!

I'm sorry, but we weren't discussing your recent family reunion, RT. Oh snap!

By any chance, are you this revolutionika http://ve3dboards.ign.com/gaming/b10625/29654545/p1/?2 http://ve3dboards.ign.com/gaming/b10625/29507147/p1/?1 http://ve3dboards.ign.com/gaming/b10625/29795938/p1/?2 http://betave3dboards.ign.com/gaming/b10625/29443780/p1/?0 http://readerreviews.ign.com/rrview/tv/mat...14225714/79142/

And now for something completely semi-irrelevant. Someone really really REALLY needs to re-make Ms. Pac-Man on the 2600 with the arcade mazes, as has been done with Pac-Man ad nauseum.

Nope, don't want to defatify myself. I wanna be fat. Tho I do understand that with the Knothole Island add-on, there is a way to revive dead characters, including your dog. After I finished the first time and lost my doggy to the choice I made, I was on the verge of signing back into live and letting my 360 be updated to that horrible NXE just so I could buy it and get my dog back. But then I came to my senses and just started over with a new game. You can save at any time, true, but it's still only that one save, so once auto-save kicks in, you lost your previous save point. I know about that trick, but honestly, it's not about unlocking achievements for me. Not my thing, I play to play. I just wanted to go back and change it when I lost my dog, and by then the trick wouldn't work because it already auto-saved apon going back to Albion. Tho the money trick is handy.

Here's a short list (top 3) for me: Most Played: 360 Xbox PS2 Most Favorite: Xbox Dreamcast NES When the 2600 or NES or something gets Fallout 3 and Mass Effect, then I'll go ahead and bump them up to most played. Anywho, you can assume whatever you want, but it's still just an assumption. And you know what they say about assuming... Might also want to read: http://feelgoodlibrarian.typepad.com/feelg...l_make_ass.html

I thought you said the poll was about 'what systems you play the most'. How did "favorite" system become part of the conversation?

Then we have this: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/uknews/507...layStation.html Mind you, the "truth" and the sensationalised headline are different. Tho the lawyers are still asshats and trying to make the PS2 out to be the underlying cause of all the problems.

Oh, right, you're new here. You'll learn better soon enough.

If we're talking Atari plastic, I believe that. Not so much with CBM plastic. Long time ago, me and a friend were cleaning up some old 800's that had sharpie marker on them. The old style with the thick rough plastic. Used Goof-Off. Cleaned them up great. No effort at all, and no problems. So then I'm like, hey, I've got this old 1541 drive with sharpie marker on it. Old style with the thick rough plastic. I start rubbing, and it's taking it off, not as good as on the Atari's, but it's taking it off, so I keep rubbing a little more. Rub, rub, rub, frup. Rag is stuck to the case. Peel it off leaving behind melted plastic with hundreds of little balls of cotton fibers stuck in it. After some scraping with a razor blade and sanding, it came out quit hideous.

Don't under estimate glue sticks, as other mentioned. Back in 1988, I made my own box for my loose 5200 Pac-Man cart. I made it from the cardboard stock taken from the backs of notepads, and used glue sticks. To this day, it's still intact.

Yes, 1987.

Why does everyone have a problem with the cord comming out the bottom. I see nothing wrong with it. In fact there are quite a few other controllers out there that I wish would have done the same *cough* Sony * cough*. Yeah, an original Xbox big Duke controller with the cord out the bottom. That would have been nice.

And what are those movies in the $1-$5 range. Mostly crap or old movies that all have small licensing costs. This has been a gripe of music fans ever since CD's came out. CD's were always cheaper & easier to make, yet cost more then cassettes that are harder and more costly to make. It's justified with excuses like "they sound better". Well, actually LP sounds even better, and cassettes when recorded right on good tape and played back on good equipment sound great too. "They are more durable and don't degrade". Hahahha, yeah, I've got 30+ year old tapes that still play and sound fine. Even have records that are 60+ years old that still play and sound ok. Even some of the records I have that are cracked can still freaking play. Yet I've got CD's only a few years old that can't be played at all (not even detected by players) because of a few scratches in the wrong places. That the music quality doesn't degrade does me no good when the disc don't work anymore. Media has nothing to do with cost of product. That's dictated by other things like production costs, licensing fees, what they can get away with, whatever square the beheaded chicken dies on and the like. Of course both movies & music are poor examples anyways. Remember that the software industry think's it's special and won't subscribe to the policies and proceedures of the rest of the media/entertainment industries.

And that might be true, but would that fact actually change the outcome of those two threads if they were duplicated here? A question like: "What system do you play the most in order" is not asking what system you think is better or how much you love it. A lot of people around here have consoles other then the 2600. How much talk is there of 2600 love here in general on a daily basis? Now, how much non atari talk is there in the Classic Gaming & Modern Gaming forums here on a daily basis? I mean, even the site owner and mods have things other then Atari *gasp* and play them *bigger gasp* *faint*! Oh my, such heresy. Doesn't that, by the standards being set by some, make AA another site to be forgotten too?

Only if you think in terms of conventional computer design. Organic biological "hardware" and A.I.. A.I. has been slowly (very slowly) developing for a long time. It's biggest stumbling block is the fact that to date, it always runs on conventional digital computer platforms that are inherently not conducive of the needs of A.I.. Organic based biological computing is only just starting to be dabbled with on a very redumentary level, interfacing small bits of organic matter with a conventional digital computer. Once organic biologcial technology can be developed to the point where it can independently exist as it's own functional data processor, A.I. development can advance and start to be actual A.I.. Once A.I. technology advances to the point where it has it's own independant conceptual awareness, well, then we'll be at a point where computing will no longer revolve about creating and inputing specific data for the purpose of a getting a specific output. Instead, you input a guildline of what you want, and it creates something itself based on that. Then my ideas can be easily done. Then you don't need to design every room in a building. You just tell it what kind of building you want, what features you want it have, and it creates it for you. All A.I. has to know is: This is what a swordfish looks like ~ Swordfish has a point ~ Pointy things = stabby things ~ Stabby things poke holes in other things. - Then you're all set to be running around GTA-XII killing people with a fish. The problem is that organic biological computing and A.I. isn't going to be perfected in my lifetime or any time in the near distant future.

Yep.

That's not even what the real BS claim was. But rather that the data layout on burned CDR's is not optimised so the mech has to seek more and wears out the gear set. It's still BS.

First to coment on the video: Eh. He's lost his edge for sure. Atleast there were a few shit & fucks in there. And it was nice to see him take a dump on something again, it's been a while. To much time spent on the logo/cat fight. Better then part 1, but it seems a little bit of AVGN's soul died a while back, and it's really just not the same anymore. Now to comment on the comments. Quite the contrary. Shitting on things is kind of his trademark, tho he doesn't do it enough. + The Jag w/JagCD does look like a toilet. Jag owners themselves have been joking about that long before AVGN existed. = Comedy Gold! Really, people, even on this very forum, going back years, have been making toilet and poo jokes about the JagCD. But now, all of a sudden, because HE did it, it's not funny. Given the general tone of replies, I think there might be an underlying subjective factor invovled here. A general hate towards his character & show by people who don't grasp/dig the concept, and use whatever they can as an excuse to justify it. He still can. It's all fake you know. He is a collector and doesn't make it a point to "really" damage/destroy anything. Aren't we being presumptuous. Given the experience listed of the person, it seems like the they would have been able to fix it if they really tried and it was indeed fixable. Which it may not. It surely wouldn't be the first time a broken and unrepairable JagCD ever turned up, now would it. Reliability is a problematic issue for the thing, so lets not go hiding our heads in the sand about it just for the sake of having another excuse to bash him over. "based on what was said"? Wow, me thinks people still don't understand the show. It's not about being fair, truthfull or making valid points. It's about the A in AVGN. If you expected the guy to be all serious and shit and provide a detailed technical assessement along with an honest personal opinion, well, you're watching the wrong program. The guy knew who's unit it was, knew this would be part of the show, and was playing it up. That was quite obvious. Like probably half the people on these forums. - BTW, he doesn't live in his Mom's basement. Anywho, it's interesting to note that this "loser" who has a college degree in film and produces other things besides AVGN, has big network sponsorship, is making money and getting hits. A segment of AVGN was even in the 20 years of Friday the 13th documentary. It comes back to the same statement and question I always ask. - If one doesn't like him or his show, why do they watch him? The AVGN character is what it is, and the show is about what it's about. Low brow gutter humor over trumped up & fake issues. That's the basis of his show, why he became popular, why people watch him. If your looking for a serious review, go somewhere else as that is not the point or intention of AVGN's existance. Really, the criticism about what he does has about as much merit as criticising all the Fast & Furious movies for being about street racing. It's like, THAT'S THE POINT - Duh!!!!
