  1. Just playing Rome Total War II again and realised its lack of accuracy. There's no character called Bigus Dickus.

      What's just as bad as the clickbait is how Forbes forces you to look at at their "quote of the day" before I can even look at one of their articles. If they wanted to keep people away from their site, they have succeeded.

      The SSKs do go for quite a bit. Here are some that have sold on eBay as recently as the past few days. http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=model m ssk&LH_Complete=1&LH_Sold=1&rt=nc&_trksid=p2045573.m1684

      Very nice! I wish I was in the market to pay FMV for one, but I'm sure there's someone out there who will happily be willing and able to do so. Good luck!

      If you have at least one SSK Model M in there, you could make some good dough.

  7. What happened to all the original hippies from the 60's? Are they still kicking around or?

      My 8th Grade science teacher, who held a doctorate, was an original 60's hippie through and through. In fact, when we had a costume day, she dug out her old hippie clothes that she wore way back when. She's retired since then, though.

  8. Depressing to see more and more folks exiting the pre-NES systems.

      Although my username is derived from an NES game, the pre-NES era is probably my favorite to collect for. It reminds me of the beginning of other mediums such as film, where it was a primitive novelty that began to find its ground as it continued to progress. A lot of the games are simple, and even strange at times, but good fun can still be found in them, either intentionally or unintentionally.

      Please don't get me wrong, MrMaddog. As mentioned, I like some of the previous work of the director and most of the cast members. Spy was a very fun film, with McCarthy giving her best performance since Bridesmaids, which I think is still one of the funniest films in the last five years, and Kristen Wiig is my favorite of the bunch. My problem comes not with the cast, but, as you mention, the scriptwriting. It feels more like an unfunny SNL sketch that falls flat on it face than it does G...

      Thankfully, I've seen more people in support of James than against him. But I never understood the logic of the individuals who immediately cry sexism or whatever when someone expresses disdain for the reboot. I, and most others, both men and women, don't like it not because it has a female cast (couldn't care less about that), but because it looks absolutely awful. I've liked some of Paul Feig's other films, but this is probably his worst yet.

      And people are already calling him "dumb" and "sexist" for refusing to support or watch the reboot.

  12. How did we survive watching TV before the "skip ahead 30 seconds" button on the DVR remote?

      @NE146 Agreed. It's one thing to have an attention span, but another thing to actually sit through advertisements. Like no, I don't want to buy whatever junk product or service you're trying to sell me, let me watch my show!

      @DuggerVideoGames people still ignore the 140 character limit (not 120) and will post multiple tweets about what they're rambling on about.

  16. The "National" Video game museum in Texas is based on STOLEN concepts by other people. When this is brought up on Digitpress(where they post) they "conveniently" have these post deleted. I am not going to their stolen concept museum and neither should you...

      From what I've been reading here, I have to agree that the concept of a video game museum is nothing new. You can't trademark or copyright concepts or ideas, at least here in 'Murica.

      It should have been obvious to Microsoft that people on the Internet would teach it to say offensive stuff just to get a cheap laugh.
