      It is a shame b/c I actually thought that TRU had really good stores. My experiences w/ TRU and BRU in the last few years was really good. Well stocked and organized stores with employees that are helpful. They may not have always been best on price, but they are in a space where it is really hard to compete w/ big box stores like Wal-Get and online. Plus with demographics changing and there just being fewer kids overall I can see why they are in big trouble.

  3. My daughter (currently a toddler) loves playing classic games with me, I think that she can identify the consequences of pushing buttons on the controller makes her happy, clapping, laughing or smiling when she can tell the effect of her button pushes

      My 2 y.o. likes playing Mario Kart on the DS, he knows where we keep it and will take it out and say "game." DK is his favorite character to play and he loves the maps where he can fall off. One of these days I want to bust out the kids controllers for the 2600 and give the Seasame Street games a try w/ him.

  4. I saw a minivan this morning with a bumper sticker on it that said "I used to be cool." I had to laugh. I feel you brother. Me too.

      I've come to the opposite conclusion, I was never cool.

  5. I don't think there has ever been a game like The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of the Wild, that has so convincingly sold me on wanting a new console. And this is coming from somebody who never was a Zelda fan, at all.

      Probably save, but hoping the other half buys it first.

  6. What do you do with a teenager that hates high school but is so afraid of real life that he refuses to graduate?

    1. DesertJets

      DesertJets

      While it could all be garden variety teenaged malaise I would want to rule out stuff like depression or other serious issues in school. Of course getting a teenaged boy to talk about that probably isn't easier said than done.

  7. I find myself wary of going to Walmart anymore. Them employees and shoppers all dress the same fomr the pajama section so I never know who to ask for help.

      What sort of Walmart are you shopping at that there are actual employees around to ask for help from?

  8. https://twitter.com/SavinTheBees/status/917267164977029120 I was never a fan of Rick and Morty. This bizarre display doesn't do much to change my mind.

      The problem with Rick and Morty fanboys is that they think Rick is the hero.

  9. I often wonder if there is anything cooler than Atari.

  10. I've started watching the current season of Rick and Morty.A lot of the reviews thatI see say it is brillant, deep and profound. And maybe I am just too old or need to start watching from S1 E1, but I don't get that. Yeah and is funny and clever than pretty much any adult oriented cartoon on right now -- but I think some of the praise it gets is WAAY OTP.

    1. DesertJets

      I think I need to go back and watch from the beginning. As for adult-oriented cartoon shows I think are better, I'd put Bob's Burgers at its peak at the top of my list.

  11. I am moderately intrigued by the Neo Geo Pocket Color but I already have too many handhelds. #GamerProblems

      I briefly had the bug for one. What turned me off was the lack of diversity of game titles. Not a fan of fighting games. Its a cool bit of hardware, non-backlit screen aside.

  12. baby has said defintely said her first few words, I wasn't sure but last night she imitated my wife too clearly, so baby's earliest (since about 7 months) words have been mama/dada (normal) bomb(what my wife calls dirty diapers) dirty diaper), ooga chucka, some Karen (my wife's language) and nipple plus probably more stuff i wrote off as babbling

      It's a fun time. I stopped counting after 10, but dada was def my son's first word. The extra fun part is trying to figure out their toddler-speak. I took us about two weeks to figure out that "bee" meant bird -- seems so obvious now.

  13. Life is like an RPG, if you don't do the Battles, you don't gain the EXP Points...But sometimes the Battles kick your ass.

  14. Tapas bar or topless bar?

    1. DesertJets

      DesertJets

      Less likely to return home covered in glitter and regret from a tapas bar. So I vote tapas.

      Perfectly safe as long as you keep your distance from the duvet covers.

  17. What's the point of a gift card without some sort of discount or bonus? You're just dictating where they spend the money.

    1. DesertJets

      DesertJets

      Because people have a silly prejudice of gifting cat litter, diapers and toilet paper. Which some how the $50 Target gift card always ends up getting used for.

  18. Rescue On Fractalus Atari 7800 Prototype Review:

      I always wondered if ROF was even possible on the 7800. Loved it so much when I had an XEGS, would love one day to have a version of it on the 7800.

      Lots of shag carpet, even where there shouldn't be carpet.

  22. You gotta love that feeling when you walk into a Chinese restaurant for lunch and see an original Ms. Pac-Man machine. 20 minutes later I'd forgotten all about lunch and was feeding it every quarter I had. XD

      I could go for some Chinese food and Ms. Pac-Man right about now.
