  1. Atari VCS is Coleco Chameleon 2.0

  2. Coleco Holdings' so-called "apology" to the community reads like a Mel Gibson apology to the Jewish community.

      I can play my ColecoVision and ADAM, the same as I ever did...Their attempt to tarnish the brand only reminds me They are not The same Coleco, nor will they Ever be.

  3. R.I.P. Adam West. Farewell, old chum. Thanks for the memories!

      I grew up with Adam West's Batman. As a little kid I loved the show because of the action and the Batmobile and how cool it all was.

       

      I just finished watching through the entire series on Blu-ray recently - and really gained an appreciation for how brilliantly funny and satirical it was. It was the "Airplane" of superheroes. They were all in on the joke, and Adam West was the key to it all.

       

      Thank you Adam for all of the fun, action and laughs!

  4. And once again, today's consoles prove just how incredibly incompetent they are. Hooked up the Xbox 360 for the first time in ages and decided to try FIFA 14. I customize my Italy squad, choose which players I want on the team and starting lineup and edit my formation. When I try to start an exhibition game, I get "Downloading and applying online rosters." WTF? What is the point of customizing my squad if I cannot even USE my squad?

      Can you just play offline?

      I was playing offline, Moycon. I don't even have Xbox Live Gold. I just have a free basic account that connects to the EA Servers when I start my games. I wasn't playing any of the online modes at all; I was merely playing an exhibition and it forced the online rosters on me.

    4. DuggerVideoGames

      DuggerVideoGames

      The good news is I finally found out how to use MY rosters and settings for the exhibition games. Turns out the online rosters are automatically forced on you by default, but you have to press a stupid button at the team select screen to disable this thing called "Match Day". Match Day was the stupid thing that forced the rosters on me.

      Coke and Pepsi indeed are easy to distinguish.  Just randomly posting Simpsons quotes to see who gets the references.  :)  Besides, Mt. Dew and IBC Root Beer are better!

      Thanks, Jeff!  Doing fine now.  Having no Internet and Television is fine, but having no hot water for that period of time sucked!  Makes me pity what the homeless and others who are less fortunate have to endure.

  10. So FedEx says a package is due to be delivered today, only to moments ago changing it to not being delivered at all today.  You can't trust them!

      Update:  FedEx last night changed it to "no deliery date, delivery date pending" and then early this morning changed it to Tuesday the 10th.  Now it's changed again!  Now it says it will deliver today by 2:05 p.m.

      My guess? Driver couldn't find your house and thought it was mis-addressed, someone else showed them were it was (and probably called them a dumbass for screwing it up.)

       

      Could be worse- I've got an overseas box where the tracking hasn't updated since the 3rd. At the very least, it's not a Christmas present so as long as it's not lost, it can run late.

    4. DuggerVideoGames

      DuggerVideoGames

      They actually delivered before noon today.  Christmas gift for my niece, so I'm glad it finally arrived.  The wait didn't bother me, but the conflicting information did.

  11. Hollywood lacks originality nowadays.  They're always remaking something.  I have an idea for an awesome show.  A TALKING CAR!!!  Justin Bieber plays as a cop who gets shot on the face.  What?  No, I'm not remaking Knight Rider.  Shut up and listen.  Bieber gets shot in the face and is dead; a talking car replaces him and solves all the cases.  See?  Different from Knight Rider.

      GoldLeader, Bieber is only on screen for 10 seconds and then he's done.  When you use the real thing, you gotta get it right in just one take!

      @GoldLeader I didn't read the Ataribox thread - or know of its existence - until you pointed it out.  Read the last few pages of it and could only roll my eyes.  So glad I don't participate in crowdfunding or whatever they call it.  Taco Bell facing a tortilla shortage... GOOD!  Hopefully they go out of business.  I tried their tacos once about two months ago and I was disgusted with them; the crap you find in the frozen foods section tastes much better than their "food".

      The high score it cost me, by the way, was for Skill 3 of Frenzy on Colecovision emulation. I was merely 100 points and some change away from breaking somebody else's high score (with 3 lives remaining, no less!) when my controller decided to die and those three lives were quickly lost.

      Having the charger plugged in so you can put your control on the charge station is nice and dandy when you're playing NES games; unfortunately, most Colecovision games do not have a pause feature.

  22. My dog Ozzie (golden retriever) was put down today.  His cancer was getting worse and it was time.  When it was done, I felt much worse and much better at the same time; it's an overwhelming moment and a mentally draining day.  I'm okay, though.  I was blessed to have him be a part of my life in his nine years here and will miss him very much.  To the rest of you members who have your own hardships to endure:  my heart goes out to you.  You're not as alone as you may think.

      I'm sorry you had to euthanize him.  It must be harder than having him just die.

      What's odd is I do much better on Premium than I do on Unleaded. For highscore.com, here's what my scores are for this game on the Colecovision Flashback:

       

      Regular: 171,660

      Unleaded: 68,730

      Premium: 97,200

       

      My best run ever on regular was actually 199,400 pts, but I never took a pic of that run.
