  1. Okay...this "new" job is turning into a nightmare. There's a very good chance I won't have it much longer. :(

      Well, think of it this way. Your life is only half over - if you live to be 100.

      That's a big "if", Is650. But hell, I made it this far, might as well go for the other 50.

  3. Just snagged a Gamecube, about a dozen games, 16 gb memory card, 4 controllers, all for $15.00. Sweet deal.

      Good job! I haven't played GC in forever...

    4. Unbeliever

      Unbeliever

      I have a "spare" GC as well, in case something happens. So I guess I'm not done with Nintendo after all...

  4. Okay...for those are confused: Previous names: Wofpaw1966, Triforce, and now, without further ado, DS Dude. Thank you for your patience during my confusion.

      You're trolling, aren't you? First a die-hard Zelda fan at nearly 50 years old, now all focus on the 3DS.

       

      I predict that by July, you'll be all into Minecraft.

      Let's hope that doesn't happen. I would be more than disappointed in myself....

  5. The audit today at worked...SUCKED. :(

  6. Working at my old job for awhile (temporarily) and still trying to find a new job. So far no success, but this time of year isn't good to catch an Employer's eye.

      What the heck happened at the new, now old, job?

      Old job is better than no job. I hope you'll find something better.

      Well, after a week's worth of barely any training at my other job, I got terminated at the end of the week. I wasn't "getting it", according to them. So, my job now (old job before the other "old" job) hired me back temporarily to help out with a few things. January's not too far away..so I'm hoping my luck will improve. Merry Christmas to everyone!

  7. Yes, you will be confused. But DS Dude is gone away. This name (and my original name was Wolfpaw66 way back when) is from the Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever series of books. If you haven't read them, you should.

      I wasn't meaning to. Do I get a free homebrew game for my Atari 2600 for that?

      Travis, I checked my top 10 list under the "Top 100" thread, and sure enough, Missile Command sailed in at #5. Looks like it's in my top 5, too.

    4. Unbeliever

      Unbeliever

      It's in my top 5 as well. Usually it's one that's always in the cartridge slot.

  10. Ugh. Last week at a staff meeting, I was told my hours might be cut (already at 30). The job hunt begins yet again. Wish me luck, guys.

      Saw the movie last night in 3D. Very much like the new movie and the plot lines that have been developed. Should make for some lasting SW goodness in the future.

  14. Before I forget, Happy Thanksgiving to everyone here on AtariAge. :)

  15. Ah, Summer. You are not going to be around much longer...sigh...

      Meh. I'm really tired of it. I think I'm at the point where I need to stop upgrading and stick with what I have...but maybe that's just me.

      I've never tried Turkey bacon.

      I don't like turkey bacon all that much. It tastes similar, sure, but the texture is all wrong...

    4. Unbeliever

      Unbeliever

      I have never even considered any other type of bacon besides the pork variety. Perhaps I will have to get some of this "turkey bacon" and give it a try...

  19. YES! New job at the end of the month! FINALLY!

      My thoughts exactly! I'm already into the Atari 2600, Sega 32x and now Jaguar. these flashbacks are an inexpensive way to check them out. :thumbsup:

      Just think, the longer we have winter, the longer it is before you have to mow grass.

      Can't argue with that. Of course the roof shoveling thing is getting old.
