  1. I just noticed the well worn Space Patrol, it looks like that one got some use. That one can be addictive!
  2. That might be an all time best. My wife showed it to me a few months back, I laughed so hard I was in tears.
  3. My two favorite LARP references, are from the movie "Role Models" and the TV show "Reno 911".
  4. I definitely drew the line at cosplay, unless it was Halloween or a gag - and even then it would only be SciFi.
  5. Up until now, I did not know there was the equivalent to "Haters" in the nerd world. I'm getting visions of the Haters Hall of Fame skits on the Chapelle Show. Except the Pimps Suits are replaced with cosplay.
  6. "If we hadn't done so much crazy stuff when we were young, we wouldn't have anything to smile about now."
  7. Some of us had very bad parenting, practically doomed from birth. I was raised around Bikers, real bikers in the 1970's - not the weekend wannabees like we have now. When you are in a certain enviroment, kids don't know better. If you even knew 1/10th of the things I did between the ages of 10-25yo, there would be piss running down your leg right now. Your judmental tone is trite.
  8. WIth all the new games coming out, the number is higher than 21 already. I haven't been on the forum much the last few weeks, and since then there have been so many announcements. The best and yet worst announcement, is that Intellegentivision is selling off new old stock - awesome for the INTV Brotherhood, bad cash timing situation for me
  9. "The best thing about being in my 40's? I did all of my stupid shit before the Internet!"
  10. I loath the INTV2 controller. The design has sharp angles, which make it less comfortable. Also, I have large hands and find the INTV2 controller downright flimsy. The only thing I like about the INTV2 controller, is that the sensitive side buttons help me with twitch reaction on some games. I all other ways I find the INTV1 controller superior. It is more comfortable, and it flexes less. And the bubble keypad is usually more desireable. Once I get focused on my Inty collection again, one of my main goals is to find a mint set of the Sears controllers.
  11. Back in 1993, right before I was hired, they had finally banned smoking in the offices above the factory. About 1/4 of the office folks, including some management who had private offices, moved out to an unused annex so they could still smoke; they were willing to sit in the open, over a giant woodchipper that shook the whole floor, sweating in the Summer and Freezing in the Winter - due to non-existant HVAC. Some people will do anyhting for Nicotine.
  12. In the 70's, my wife PEDIATRICIAN smoked in the exam room with the kids.
  13. I'll take some pics, and PM them later this week. If you are interested, then you can make me an offer.
  14. I have Frog Bog CIB. The box is in average condition, the contents are in above average condition. I can provide pics if interested. I'm looking to trade for a standard Inty Frog Bog. I'm not super picky about condition, as long as it is CIB. I also have a few other Sears variants, in case anyone else reading this thread is looking: Armor Battle LV P&B Space Hawk Utopia Utopia I am also looking for a straight trade for an Inty version. The other three I will trade for nearly anything, from the list of 60 CIBs I still need.
  15. I want ALL. Looks like I will be buying a scratch ticket at lunch today...
  16. I've been keeping an eye on Dracula listings for a while now, and that is a rare in which the price goes up each time. Given the obscene prices people will pay for excellent condition CIBs, I wouldn't even be surpirsed if it gets over $100 this time. But I think $90-ish minimum is a sure bet on this one. At this point I am kind of glad that I am out of hobby funds for the moment, I would just get enraged by the Intellimania going on right now... ...but, the laws of economics are usually a constant that behaves like phsyics: What goes up, must come down. I figure I have another 30 years to get to the 125...
  17. In that condition, I am going to guess it will sell in the range of $90 or so...
  18. I have a CIB Intellivoice that is mint, other than minor shelf wear on the box. On the front of the box it has the price written in Pen. And as the price went lower because it was on lcearance, they crossed out the old price and wrote a new one. I thought it was funny, because they got it at such a low price, because it looks like it was only used 1-2 times (and one of the games was still sealed).
  19. If anyone live within driving distance of the Hartford CT area, there is a listing up for someone who bought a wholesale lot of games. It looks like they are setting up at a Flea Market this weekend: http://hartford.craigslist.org/vgm/3726575897.html I would go, but now that I moved, unfortunately it is almost a 2 hour drive for me...
  20. So I guess "Wendy's Baconator" is not on the NHS approved diet list?
