      I have a warranty on my car and figured it was somehow related to that.   Hilarious in a way that EVERYONE seems to be getting these calls.

      I had No Idea you guys would give me a warranty on a car from the 30's!  How much???

  4. Whoa! I can post status updates again; YAY!!!  Lost the ability for a week or two randomly, anyone else run into this?

      Currently I can reply, but not post a new one from the front page.  I click in the box, but cannot type there. The one in my profile seems to work, though.

      I think there is a race condition regarding loading JavaScript that enables the editor, and the browser finishing loading the page. You can always go to your profile and post a public message on your stream, it will appear as a status update.

       

      (of course if a mod turned off that feature for you, it won't work)

  5. Come play Euro-platformer Soccer Kid in the Jaguar HSC this round!

  6. Set up a Sony MEGA Watchman in my home office with VPR Classical playing at a low volume.  Should have done it a long time ago very relaxing. 

  7. Well the $45 dollar "broken" Lynx I i bought?  Plugged in a power cord, California Games, booted right up.  You gotta love life's little victories.

      You take a risk with "broken" or "Untested" items... It's like a roll of the dice but, I have been lucky and unlucky on items over the years..

      Maybe the seller didn't have any games, or a power cord? Their loss is your gain!

      Congratulations!  It's nice when a bet on a "broken" item pays off.  I'm sure they "tested" it by plugging it in and turning it on without a game inserted.

  8. 100% done Skyrim at 150 hours.  That game was life changing.  Ruined sooo many games for me by being so good.  I'll never play a 3D Zelda again i can tell you that much.

      I need to play that.  I loved the Elder Scroll series, finished Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Redguard, but quit halfway through Oblivion and never went back, for some reason

    3. Reaperman

      Reaperman

      I was done with skyrim in ~15 min. Like a speedrun! First I joined the wrong team in the intro, read two BORING books about politics/dragons, met a blacksmith who also went on about politics/dragons, so I dubbed him 'the final boss.' I quit every elder scrolls game shortly after the tutorial level. Daggerfall's tutorial was a real ordeal. Then in this other one I got off a boat, onto a bug and quit, and another I decided I didn't want to live in a world where patrick stewart was dead.

      Sony re-released the Walkman some time ago, in the form of a hi-res file media player. There's a handful of others, like Aurender:

  10. After reading a number of reviews I think i'm skipping the new Bond (very sadly as i'm a big fan).  Too dark, no charm/fun, what happed to the old 007 I grew up with?

      I liked it. Wasn't the best of the Craig films, but probably in the middle for me. They threw in lots of throwbacks to older series, including "funny" one liners. The CIA girl was my favorite character ( 3 weeks training) but yeah it's ultimately a drag because of the ending. Reminds me of Infinity War or End Game ending. I'd say if you're a huge fan to watch it in spite of what others say and judge for yourself. If any newer film ruins your respect for any series, then just take solace in the fact you're old and only watch old movies.

      Moycon's comments are entirely correct. It was overall disappointing. There were some decent action sequences, but it was overall far too dark. I was not thrilled with the inclusion of a child character; she added nothing. Skyfall is my least favourite Bond film, but this movie did its best to dislodge it from last-place.

      I lost interest in Bond films when I heard how bad Die Another Day ways, and Don't see the appeal of the Craig Bond.

  11. Am i just graphics insensitive?  I really can't tell a difference between PS3/XB360 and current gen systems.. It all looks great to me. 

    1. Hydro Thunder

      Hydro Thunder

      Agree 1000%!  I have an XB1 and PS4, but not even certain why (PS4 as mostly a streaming / blu ray player).  I have held for two generations now that the 360/PS3/Wii were the last really significant step forward.  Graphically and otherwise (wireless controllers, downloadable games and demos, HDMI, etc).

      Of course, chances are good that I am simply very, very old. :P

      "New Atari Setback that Ataribox?"  (But seriously, that "project" is getting hilarious.)

  12. Anyone ever had their setup start an electrical fire?  How paranoid do i need to be about this really?

      No electrical fires here, but my PIII-850 exploded and blew its heatsink off due to bad motherboard caps from the dot-com fiasco. Almost did start a fire but I was right there to get it under control.

      Haven't had it happen... but it's always been a joke when I'm hooking everything up.  For a little while, I had a picture of tangled up wires, cables, and wall warts as a FaceBook profile pic.  lol

  13. Anyone figured out how to get the dual shocks working as a control scheme for the PS Classic? 

  14. Anyone happen to have a manual for Road Rash for the original Gameboy?  In desperate need of a scan if anyone is willing to hook me up. 

  15. Anyone have an extra 7800 they want to sell? Need a second for upstairs.  I know there's a load on ebay but would love to try members first.  Or find a good one for me on ebay if you are in the mood for a browse? :)

      Very cool!  From the LDDB forums i do know Anime is one of the genre's that has a big following on LD.

      I had Invasion of the Space Preachers (1990, Troma) and a concert of D.R.I. Live @ the Ritz in 1987... However as I just checked for them, and didn't see them,  I asked my friend if I gave them to him, and sure enough,  I gave them away already!  My memory that day was pretty foggy...(You know how some (fun) days are hahaa...)

      Well I just paid for my preorder of the anime bluray through a proxy shipping service. ?

      @Rick Dangerous thanks for motivating me to look into it more or I never would have discovered the remaster that was announced just last month.

  21. Anyone remember the Poker boom?  There were even some video games made during that era it got so popular.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poker_boom

      You talking the ESPN/Everybody-thinks-they-are-in-the-World-Series-of-Poker boom of the early 2000's?

    2. Rick Dangerous

      Rick Dangerous

      Yes that one! My housemates my freshman year of college after getting back from the army (2005) were playing poker non-stop.  Felt like i was living on the set of Rounders.

      @Rick Dangerous,

       

      Yeah..that was annoying. Parties we would go to around that time they would have a poker table and there was always 1 or 2 a-holes just going all in every hand trying to bully people. I actually hate gambling but did it to be social.  What I would do is win one big hand, be up 50 bucks and quit just to piss those guys off.
