  1. Every time you start to get ahead in life, someone comes along and kicks you in the nuts as hard as they can

      You're preaching to the crowd dude. Your synopsis is shared by millions and millions. Suck it up, it isn't all about you. LOL J/K Hope you get over whatever hurtle in front of you. If it makes you feel any better, there are bigger hurtles you probably and hopefully won't ever have to jump, so there is that.

  2. I thought I'd watch an episode of "Fallout" on Amazon Prime and got a message that I'd have to pay $3 a month to see it ad-free. No thanks. Prime video normally sucks, so I'm not paying 3 bucks a month to watch 8 episodes of one show without ads.

      Llamas make some people uncomfortable now.

  4. as a broke, "youngster" trying to collect during a pretty expensive time to collect, i do not wanna make a joke about people older than me dying so i can get all the rare shit for cheap...

    not at all, i'm gonna joke about how i wish you found those sealed consoles from that splurge you had when a "Failed Console" got dirt cheap prices and decide to be "charitable", i mean surely... i need it more than you do, and what are you gonna do with money anyways? buy games???? hahahahaha....

    ok tho fr neither of my parents ever played video games so like i'm kinda at a disadvantage.

  5. For an extra kinky gaming experience, put a Xonox double-ender into two Atari 2600s at the same time.

  6. When are they gonna start making CRT TVs again? As much I would like a RetroTink ting, I can't afford that right now. Maybe when it goes down in price...eventually, but for now, I'll probably end up with an old one so I can play my 2600 Jr. :(

      Hear, hear!! And let's not forget typewriters, and not those electric kind, I mean the old manual ones that don't need to be plugged in... And don't get me started on phones.

  7. I feel this odd feeling to dip potato chips in ketchup.

    1. moycon

      moycon

      My cousin would put ketchup on chips back in the 70's. I always scrunched my nose at her. I didn't realize that you can put ketchup on anything and it tastes good. I put some on a dog turd earlier today, delicious!!

      OMG!!! Same here. I only have an Xbox 360 and a PS4 but an Atari forum just seems interesting to me.

  9. Just bought "JFK X: Solving the Crime of the Century" on Amazon Prime. It was only around 5 bucks. I'll watch it later today.

  11. Did you hear how COVID was really bad for flat earthers? Apparently the social distancing was really something that pushed a few of them over the edge.

      I used to believe in the Flat Earth, but I'm starting to come around.

  12. Lego Atari 2600 is complete. Looks pretty cool. A Lego piece identical to the one I was missing was on one of my son's Lego builds. I bought it off him for a dollar. All are happy. 😁

  13. I tried Burnout Paradise again--and as before, couldn't really get past the theme song.

    1. moycon

      moycon

      Ugh I loved the fact that Xbox 360 had custom soundtracks. I always played Burnout Paradise using Burnout Revenge as the soundtrack.

      Awesome game, but yeah, you need the right music.

  14. The last four new threads I read (created in the past week or so) seemed to be made for shock value, attention getting, designed to drum up discord, create opposing views and conflict. People acting like old men set in their ways. Threatening to leave a thread, like a kid taking his toys and going home. Basically a lack of maturity. Never used to be this much. Ohh it's not AA destroying quantities or anything.. Just dumb.

      Getting old sucks.

       

  15. After reading a number of reviews I think i'm skipping the new Bond (very sadly as i'm a big fan).  Too dark, no charm/fun, what happed to the old 007 I grew up with?

    1. moycon

      I liked it. Wasn't the best of the Craig films, but probably in the middle for me. They threw in lots of throwbacks to older series, including "funny" one liners. The CIA girl was my favorite character ( 3 weeks training) but yeah it's ultimately a drag because of the ending. Reminds me of Infinity War or End Game ending. I'd say if you're a huge fan to watch it in spite of what others say and judge for yourself. If any newer film ruins your respect for any series, then just take solace in the fact you're old and only watch old movies.

  16. In Keystone Kapers on the Atari 2600, the villain Harry Hooligan escapes if he makes to the right edge of the rooftop.  So where does he go from there?

  17. After all these years, I can't believe I never realized before that the Fonz (Henry Winkler) is only 5'6".  He never seemed that short to me on TV.

      Wow and he used to call Joanie short stuff? Heeeeyyyyyyyyyy!

  18. If you ever have to stuff stuff on top of other stuff, to make room for more stuff and stuff..

    You prolly got too much stuff.

  19. Just got hit with a $1,512 back tax bill for my PayPal Sales in 2019.  Going to try to dispute it with the "Yard Sale" clause.  About done with Ebay going to try to stay off the radar going forward.

      Wow seriously? That sucks. I was thinking of opening my eBay store back up. Hmmmmm

      @x=usr(1536) I'll also mention I retired at age 48, but since you already know I can do things few people can manage, now I feel like you know me.  ?

      @x=usr(1536) Only once and it's to to a girl I started dating when I was 16. We are still married to this day.  Here's my guess, you don't know me, and you don't realize my advice is always 100% solid and 100% correct. Follow it, and you'll be golden.

  24. Just had a Big-Mac blowout. The lettuce, the sauce, the fake meat. All of it was moving like a slip-n-slide!
