  1. Anyone here ever play GORGAR while listening to GORGAR by Helloween? Or maybe play SPACE INVADERS while listening to SPACE INVADERS by Uncle Vic (Or Dr Demento)? (Too easy, but...) or Play PAC MAN While hearing PAC MAN FEVER? ?

      I still have a cassette of Helloween - Walls of Jericho. I'm pretty sure Gorgar is on it. Love the pin, never had the pleasure of listening to Helloween while playing, though.

      One time my cousin Walter got this cat stuck in his ass. True story. He bought it at our local mall, so the whole fiasco wound up on the news.

  3. How to configure Outlook: Give us a password that doesn't exist, Wait several minutes, Outlook cannot connect to your account, Are you sure you wish to exit the Wizard?

      Hurry up & got out of the way then. There's hella folks off to see the wizard too you know.

      Oh, that's the same way it is on the old iOS 6. The "Save" button is not enabled until you put a bogus password and it tries and fails.

  4. What color Super NT should I get? Black like my soul? Will also match my PS2s! Classic to match my SNESs? Which would remind me of college happy funtimes! Or maybe the Super Famicom variant? Because no one ever thinks of it.

      Yeah, I'll go ahead and reverse then.

      Since you've got the controllers, I'd say SFC, then. The extra color on the main body makes it more interesting than the rest.

      Black goes with everthing. Mine is full Vader, with 2 black wireless controllers too.

      Thanks all! I might even leave it up to chance...Maybe roll a die...Literally roll a die!

  5. I met this guy in the 80's who was really into crazy B-movies and had seen Tons. I asked him what the worst movie Ever was...He said Return of the Blood Farmers.

      Sounds like the anticipated sequel to "Invasion of the Blood Farmers.

    3. GoldLeader

      Pretty sure he said Return, but that was a long time ago...He might have meant Invasion of the Blood Farmers...I haven't seen the guy since the 80's so I couldn't ask him...

  6. I gotta say it made me laugh when I saw Biffsgamingvideos had a response from SupremeEnchanter saying he'd seen his videos. They're the same person and CPUWIZ responded with "It'd be weird if you hadn't."

      Trees are a renewable resource! If they cut down more ahead of approaching forest fires, the fires would stop...OK Oversimplified...It's about carbon flow and forest management...

      DZ-Jay yep! Sums it up nicely...Though someday I may need custom blinds for my sunporch so there is that...

  10. And the Award for most overproduced, generic, autotuned crap (AKA Video of the year) goes to interchangeable modern singer #12...Why is MTV having Video Music Awards anyway, when they haven't shown videos since the 90s?

      I liked Beavis & Butthead, watched it at a friend's house mostly as I was a poor college student then who got 3 channels on a good day...

    3. GoldLeader

      They could have played B&B, Daria, even Jackass And still play Music and it would have been OK in my book...

    4. GoldLeader

      TBH I'm not sure what they play these days...Not even sure if I still get the channel LOL!

  11. Happy Day! I found NO SALT ADDED tortilla chips at Natural Grocer's! Even the "Low Salt" chips in stores are now 3% with the others being 5% or 6%, so I was floored! Haven't seen these since the 80's!

      I was just teasing. Me and my wife try to avoid processed foods altogether because they are packed with sugar, salt, and fats.

       

      And you are right that if you just buy a regular bag of chips, and a regular pack of cheese, and a regular jar of salsa, you'll end up with a salt-mine worth bunch of sodium crusted around your heart! :o

    3. doctorclu

      doctorclu

      No salt? That is actually pretty awesome.

    4. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      No worries DZ-Jay! I figure one packet of salt from any fast food restaurant is enough for any bag of chips anyway...5% and 6% is just kind of ridiculous to me...Especially as the low salt variety I usually buy just jumped from 2% to 3% and They taste salty as Hell to me!

  12. My friends are coming over tonight for Beer and Music...Then I am gonna play the movie "Plan 9 from Outer Space" outside, projected onto the side of my house in the backyard! unless it rains...

      There should have been an Atari game of Plan 9 from Outer Space. That would’ve been cool.

      It's an OK movie, but I still think that "Plan 1 From Outer Space" is better than all the sequels. LOL!

  14. Every 5 or 10 years I think I'm missing out so I buy a Sam's Club membership (+ a Free $20 gift card), Then realize they have almost nothing I buy there...Do they have Regular Coffee Mate? Nope only Pumpkin Spice (Arrrg!!)...So I bought an 8 lb bag of broccoli and called it a day **sigh**

      I'll bet Sam's will be OK for paper plates, paper towels, kleenex, (anything

      paper)etc.,...I need to go in when I have more time...I may have overstated the amount of broccoli haha,...just seems like a lot for one person ;)

      They now sell BEER! (Which is new around here), But they are only 32 cents cheaper (on a Tecate 12 pack) than my neighborhood liquor store. That's the literal truth on that one.

      Haha!...I have fond memories of playing it with 3 friends (one night only), but more than that, it helped me put a year (1992) to a memory. An event happened and (before) I couldn't remember if it was '92, '93, or '94...

  16. I was mowing a lawn, dark clouds rolled in. Close, didn't wanna stop, so I got hit with rain then hail, but I finished it! Then my phone said there was a tornado nearby! Now it's Atari/Beer time!!

      Was the sky green? Usually that'll mean hail and possible rotation.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      The sky went from sunny to a dark Deep Purple (not the band), I saw lightning in the distance, but turned up my MP3 player so I didn't "hear" thunder...I was close so wanted to finish...Got drenched...The clouds were very dark...Probably a Tornado further North

      Beer? Don't mind if I do. Thanks yall! ;)

      Everyone dresses "cowboy" for Frontier Days, so while some are farmers/ranchers/cowboys, country western singers and rodeo stars...There's also just those dressing the part. They talked like cowboys but who knows? Mostly talking about playing Atari as kids...Umm Cowboys DZ-Jay not bounty hunters haha! Then again My brother's ridden a bronc in the rodeo, my cousin rode a bull...I have not...

      I ordered it direct from Hyperkin. I'm almost afraid to try it out after reading all of the "Not ready for Prime Time" comments in the RetroN 77 Thread...Seems it'll be almost like Beta Testing a console, but I'm down :)

  20. Tried my New Sega Controller (Taiwan knockoff, but new from the 90's) didn't work great (went down + right instead of straight down). Tried my New projector lamp, They sent me the wrong one. It was $30...The correct one looks to be $177. I hope they eat it and send me the one in the picture!!

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      No worries! I also bought a couple of NEW SEGA controllers! (Yeah Brand New after all these years!) and also got a couple of new Hyperkin Sega controllers which are pretty decent too...The only troublesome child is that Taiwanese knockoff haha! And of course I'll get a refund on the projector lamp (Really wish they had the right one!)...

      If you aren't sure you work properly you should have filed a complaint with the manufacturers while you were still under warranty. Doubt there's anything you can do now! ;)

      Bahama Bucks is all over by me, 5 of them within 20 miles of my house. They're also open year round, I suspect YeeHaw is seasonal.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Yep! Summer only and the location changes every year...Cold Stone Creamery claimed to have it, but they do it wrong and it's just a lousy snow cone.

    4. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Of course when the snow is flying, people probably don't want shaved ice. Although, we do sell a lot of malts + milkshakes when it's cold out for some reason at the Cheese steak place I work at...
