  1. Currently going back and forth between Yars Recharged and Double Dragon Gaiden on Switch. Yars Recharged took me a few playthoughs to fully understand the mechanics. Some of these levels and missions are ridiculously near-impossible, having to use the Z Cannon so many times to break certain blocks.

    Double Dragon Gaiden is great once you get past the terrible sprites and understand when to swap out your two characters to maximize health bars. I was up till almost 4am at the final boss. Sadly, he whooped my ass. I used Billy & Abobo,

  2.  "Last Chance Sale" decision. Scramble or Super Cobra? Which one? Why?

      I think I'd buy All versions if I could afford it!  I'm a big help, huh?  Personally I'd probably buy Super Cobra,  but only because back in the day I ordered it through the mail for ColecoVision,  and they sent the Atari 2600 version and would not let me send it back...

      I spent a ridiculous chunk of change. I ended up ordering BOTH titles, and quite a few more. I will not log into my bank account any time soon. This didn't happen. What are ya'll talking about?

      Told ya, why not both?! :D

  3. Q. what did the faucet say to the sprinkler?

    A. "what's up with them hose?"

  4. Thanks for keeping the Deflection theme. Now only if it would save my theme preference for when I log in again I don't have to choose it!

      It should remember your theme setting.  If not, please send me a message and I can help troubleshoot it with you.

  5. Panzer Dragoon remake. Crap. Your. Pants.

      Great game, wish I would have kept my Saturn versions. At least, for as long enough to have sold for what they go for. sigh

      Which one is being remade? You can still get #1 for a decent price if patient. #2 is getting expensive. Saga.. .forget it. For Saga, I thought all of the assets were lost.

    3. bomberpunk

      #1 is being remade. with success #2 will likely follow. original data for Saga is indeed lost so unless that's constructed from ground zero we won't see that.

  6. i haven't posted here in months. my last blog entry was june 2018, only stating that it's been a while. hahaha.

  7. Never played Earthbound or Chrono Trigger before. Help me decide which one to pick.

      Chronotrigger. Had Earthbound BITD and didn't care for it.

      I hear Chrono Trigger has a lot of "quality of life" improvements that make it more playable than most JRPGs of that era. I'd start there. That said, I have it on DS and iPhone and haven't started it, so what do I know? (nothing!)

      I think Earthbound is okay, but overrated. Chrono Trigger has more of the things I like in RPGs.

  8. Is there a Secret Santa this year? I need to get in on it!!

      Santa's losing money in coal for bad kids so instead he takes phantom dumps in bad kids' toilets this year.

      What the...

      What if someone wishes for coal, anyway?

  9. One of my favorite children's books growing up apparently never existed. Can't find anything online. Pretty sure it was called "Day For A Dinosaur" about a blue chip named Bronty who drives a red car to the city to go to work and then messed up everything b so goes back home. I have work in 4 hours but I feel the need to search. smh

      Home for a Dinosaur by Eileen Curran | Goodreads

      it wasn't a red car it was a red suitcase. he wasn't going to work he was going to move to the city.

  10. Two facts regarding the Atari 7800: (1) Double Dragon blows; (2) Midnight Mutants has the most hilarious intro ever.

      plays better than the sms port, just the 7800 controller is really really bad for it

    3. Skippy B. Coyote

      Skippy B. Coyote

      Good point Masschamber. I probably should have added the caveat of *with a Europad or Edladdin arcade stick. Trying to play Double Dragon with a Pro-Line controller sounds like an exercise in pain and suffering.

    4. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      There's a reason they call it the Pain-Line controller.

  11. Blaster Master Zero might be too easy but it's still a fun ride.

  12. Who lies to his boss about a doctor's appointment so he can stand in line at Best Buy for an NES Classic Mini? THIS GUY!!

      Not a scalper. I'm a retro enthusiast who could play all these games a hundred other ways but wanted to own an official mini nes released by Nintendo. At MSRP. :)

      You're only 36 though. I'll be 44 in March. It's harder for me to keep weight off than it was 8 years ago.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Yeah Happy Birthday! And don't sweat it...We all get older...Except that year I got younger, but that was probably a fluke :D

  14. found a NES Classic Console Controller (Emio version) at Walmart and they refused to sell it at check-out.

    1. Skippy B. Coyote

      Skippy B. Coyote

      Likely because the Emio controllers are all being recalled, due to them not actually working with the NES Mini. They designed them based on a Wii Classic Controller and never actually tested them with the NES Mini before they shipped them out.

  15. 3DS Necessity alert: River City Ransom - Tokyo Rumble

      Chrome can get wrecked in my opinion, I find it vastly inferior to other browsers out there. Plus, Google can suck my ween.

      I don't like Chrome, but time to move away from a 1990s operating system I would say.

  18. TMNT:OotS was pretty good, and that's coming from someone who hated the first one. Lots of "fan wank" in it!

  19. so my weed-eater has one of those heads that takes the three yellow plastic blades. well, yesterday one of them flew off and straight into my ankle through my sock. just enough for a bloody clotline but it never actually bled out. fun shit! good thing i decided against the metal ones!

      I always wanted those things, but I only had the electric and battery operated types. Now I'm glad I couldn't use them.

      Is your "weed-eater" your son?

      Ouch, that sounds terrible. Weed whackers/eaters/whatever work great, but they can be dangerous. Seems like all kinds of stuff is flying around at high speeds when you're using them.

  20. i've replaced the screen, wifi antenna, and headphone jack & charging port on my iCrap 5C and it still resets and can't keep the time/date, plus no audio on calls. piece of shit.

      My wife was persuaded to get two by our phone company just over a year ago. Both have since been replaced by the Sony Z3 Compact. We found the 5C to be utterly useless.
