I've pretty much unfollowed everyone I'm friends with on Facebook just because everything seems to turn political. At this point my feed is 99% gaming groups and businesses I follow and 1% friends and family who don't post political/current events stuff.

I only use twitter to follow some soccer (football) pundits. 3-4 years may have passed since I was last on Facebook. Not sure. To those that know me, if they can't be bothered with an email or pick up the phone< i can't be bothered in return.

That's what it comes down to really. If you can't email, call or text me, you aren't really my friend. Plus the politics and keeping up with the Jones/ego stroking is just too much.

Makes you wonder what is posted all over his walls.

Make sure you have headache medicine ready when you scroll through his stuff.

Probably NE146. "Beat 'Em & Eat 'Em" avatar. 'Nuff said,

Lain is the first anime DVD I bought and I don't know, maybe the first DVD I bought period. It's been over 20 years, perhaps I should pull it off the shelf...

How to Frame a Figg
 

A comedy staring Don Knotts. He’s an inept accountant who’s framed for embezzlement, & he must get evidence against the real culprits from the city’s new computer.

For other lighter fare,  FREE GUY,...Ryan Reynolds thinks he's alive but finds out he's a video game character.  In theaters Aug. 13th.  Though if I were a betting man,  I'd say it may end up on Disney+, say, as early as 45 days later.

Leaded gas was wonderful.  Bright blue, glittered in sunlight, smelled and tasted sweet.  The 400, 426, 440 motors ran beautifully on that stuff.

Tough question, but I suddenly thought of the smell of a record store. (Probably save2600 is rubbing off on me)...Maybe Skin Bracer after shave,  I think my dad and I would get that at Christmas, but I still have that I don't use it often, but it's awesome.

Parents, obviously. Every lot of hand held games (DS, GameBoy, 3DS...) is always filled with Disney games, Barbie games, Nickelodeon games... all bullshit games.

I LOVE Deadly Towers!!! Not joking at all. Never understood the hatred for this game...Is it just because it's hard to beat? Doesn't matter to me. I find it very fun to play...A little rough around the edges, sure...But I get what they were going for.

I would say my main gripe with Deadly Towers is the lack of checkpoints. Once you die it's back to the start, and it's a long game... I have beaten this game both with and without savestates, Please play it with savestates. Also those mazes are pure BS.

March 2002

sept 99 here so close

March 2002....I must be copying retrogamer81081 ...I thought it was gonna be later than that TBH...

Worrying about the crowd funded console you backed won't exist...

Death or protein

Death or protein

Born in 75, had a 400 in 82. Think I had a good enough dose of the 80s, even though I graduated in 93.

Everybody knows that the 80s started in 1978 and ended in 1992.

I pity the 90's kids. The 90's sucked! The last good era was 70's to early 80's. The late 80's were like a preview of the crap to come.

Nothing good can come of a collection of moving parts, consumables, and paper.

^LOL DOUBLE POST FAIL!

I agree with everyone.

I've been waiting for OLED tech to work out all the kinks before upgrading. I was feeling some pressure until I realized I could do 4K DSR gaming on a 1080p monitor for essentially the exact same effect as I'd get on a 4K TV, so I'd rather wait for the perfect display now.

How do all the flip phone advocates around here feel about this issue?

LMAO!!!

Maybe it's a signed copy by ET himself!

Me: "You do realize that this is one of the most common atari 2600 games, and boxed is tops, $10?"

Him: bs it has sold in the past for 1,550 based on old Atari games being collectible and valuable sure if less were made it would be worth more but oh well I know the value and what it has sold for at the highest 1,550 or no deal (sic)

Cool! I wish you all the best!

Grats Travis!

Thanks everyone! Much appreciated

Only been to Barnes and Noble the night before for Harry Potter books, and the Thursday release of movies.

As for the PS5, if it had the emulation support back to PS1 and the ability to play CDs as well as DVD and Blueray, I would have been in line for it.

Wait it can't do that!?

No doubt; if the PS5 played PS 1-4, CD, DVD, Bluray, and 4KUHD discs i would have been lining up for it also.  And would have sold my PS1234.  But alas they only care about getting new business; so i'm out. 

What is 4K? I'm serious.

@imstarryeyed: I agree completely.

Graphics are hugely important and always have been. There simply aren't the huge jumps in graphics any more that use to wow us like generation to generation graphics did back in the day.

I've always preferred to find something locally, even if it cost a bit more. Only will do Amazon for items I can't find. Of course, if you don't pay for Amazon Prime, they drag their feet.

Oh, this is total suckage.. I just realized that Toys R Us is the only store in my area to carry the Tiny Arcades and they JUST started to carry the My Arcade line as I was going to try and get a Burgertime on my next trip.

This is going to be VERY sad. I probably won't buy anything, but I will have to say goodbye to the local Toys R Us that held so many videogame related memories for me.

Yeah, that thing is made of gold I guess. Damn you ebay.

The thing I hate most about these multi-game cartridges is that by the time I find out about them they are all gone and being sold on ebay for hundreds of dollars. QQ

You mean flashcarts? The Everdrive line is still constantly available. Sometimes a batch is sold out, but soon a new one is made. And the Everdrives cover all your Sega, Nintendo and PC Engine needs.

congrats Travis, always good news!

Congrats Travis!!

I believe it should, but perhaps someone else here knows for sure. Added bonus of the Duo is that is has a built-in save feature I believe. Not sure if it works for all games, but nice to have.

I have seen TG-16's for sale around here, but they always seem to be trashed or missing parts.

I was interested in one for a few years, and finally broke down last month and bought a system and Everdrive. It's definitely worth it. There's a great deal undiscovered gems for the system, especially the Japanese titles. Also there's some good really easy to find ROM sets so all you'll have to do is download and enjoy .

Perhaps that store in California had Happy Hour when GoldLeader visited.

It was Winter of '82 I believe, but it wasn't a clearance, just an insane in-store sale....G.A.M.E.S. was more well known for their mail order IIRC, this was just a crazy promo! I seem to recall a small storefront in front of what was possibly a big warehouse operation.  It took all of my spending money to buy it but I was happy!...Been a long time though, and my memory is not what it used to be.

My mom thought it was funny, though.  I no longer cared about whether or not the hotel had a pool.  As long as they had a plug in, I was happy

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

. . . Needs more Jaleel White replacing Ben Schwartz.

Carrey can stay, only so Sonic can laugh AT him!

I really do not think the trailer deserves the hate being directed toward it. It's supposed to be campy and funny.

Freakin' IRS! Shut 'em down!

Oh wait, already done

I sold maybe 20 things for like $3k last year.

Vermont has the same $600 threshhold as Massachusetts, unfortunately. https://tax.vermont.gov/news/1099-k-information-reporting

I thought asking in AA is "doing research"...

Yeh, let's ask the pro's on AtariAge

Worth is in the eyes of the buyer not the seller. Still there are people who insist it must be the other way around.

I'm waiting for the PSX to become officially retro so they will make an PSX laser mouse.

I still have a hard time thinking PS2 & Og Xbox games as "retro". They play exactly the same way as current-gen games due except for being in SD.

I'm with Eltigro.

Never too late to get one... There's still lots of games available in both used game stores and digitial downloads. If you're worried about RROD then get the 360 S or E models which don't have them.

I have 3. My original, which I bought used but sent back twice under warranty. A second that had the RROD but never got around to fixing and a third "Elite" that I bought new but which I've since had to swap out the hard drive - replaced it with a standard 2.5" drive rather than get an overpriced (at the time) Xbox 360 drive.

You know, I never got around to getting a PS3, a Sega Saturn, or a replacement for my dead GameBoy.

I'm in the bathroom creating a "live Stream"...

Average Talking Head on YouTube: "Look at me! I'm on compu-tor TV! Like and subscribe and make me famous! Well, Internet famous anyway. Nobody in the real world will know who I am, but at least I'll be a god to a bunch of slovenly overweight nerds who usually wear nothing but skidmarked underwear when they watch my videos."
