  1. So I ordered Chinese food delivered and wrote in the instructions not to include any sauce packets, you better believe they sent like 40 packets

      Of course.  Probably a billion packets of sesame seeds, several bags of crispy noodles and 500 fortune cookies too.

      Oh man, those suck. I once got so angry at Megaman 2 that I gave myself a Charlie Horse on accident from clenching so hard.

      Why did you do that?

       

       

       

       

       

      Haaaa...just kidding...As you can read that as if to say you did it on purpose.  Those do suck, but I bet you're fine now, hopefully.

  3. so I made mash potatoes tonight for dinner, and my daughter had one bite,  she asked if she could have more.  I said of course, and I turn around to grab a little bowl for her and when I look back she had walked off with the entire gallon container I had made them in.

      I hope that "weird Asian pork" doesn't equal pangolin or similar.

  4. Daughter went tricking or treating as smoke from rainbow 6 siege like she wanted,  very few people were taking part, but still it was a lot of fun.  Then we all played Halloween on the 2600 for a little while and closed out with spooky cartoons like the Garfield Halloween special

      Nice!  We bought a TON of candy, and sadly, the turnout was very poor.  Sucks too.  Last year, cancelled due to inclement weather.  Last 3 years before that, snow.  Tonight - 43 degrees, sunny, and 2nd full moon of the month.

      We never get any trick-or-treaters, so it has just been business as usual around here.

  5. alright, I got grand slam tennis for the arcadia 2001 (leisure vision label, but I don't worry about that) I think I'm down to just jump bug for north american releases, does anyone have a list of all the canadian leisure vision games?

  6. probably going to be the final score of the year, but someone was tossing an atari and a mountain of common games, 

    so I kept a heavy sixer telegames from the trash, but the sound doesn't work right now, going to look into it tomorrow

      The goalie slides across the goal mouth.  Whoa! Kick save and a beauty!  Very nice to rescue a H6er from the garbage heap.  Congrats on the pickup.

  7. Does anyone know what to use for proof of value when payment was received through ebay managed payments? 

    The usps smashed one of my packages to bits and they claim the item receipt is insufficient proof of vallue.

    1. Shawn

      Shawn

      The receipt is all you need. That is a delay tactic cause they wanna see if they can brush you off without paying out the insurance. They are scum. Stick to your guns and you will be fine. Be sure to take names and ID numbers of the people who give you a hard time along the way towards getting exactly what you are entitled to and which you have paid for with your insured package they wrecked.

  8. found an odyssey game (as in odyssey 1!) at the flea market today. 

    1. high voltage

      I don't think I've even seen an NES game at a flea market,  LOL.

      Guy wanted 3 bucks for it, needless to say I. Bought it, wipeout, no manual or pegs,  but still box, board and overlays are nice

  9. hit a garage sale today, got a  prototype of enduro! (among some otherthings) unfortunately the proto is from late january 83 so probably no different from release

    1. masschamber

      masschamber

      yep, same as retail

      I found about a dozen empty Lynx game boxes, none of which were for the games you wanted.

      thanks for  checking, 

  11. I think someone in the postal service opened a package and stole the content, bought an nes game off of amazon and the package arrived torn open and empty

      Take pictures and start some complaints to the right departments.

      CaptainCanadian

      Thats bs, they should reimburse you for that.

  12. anyone want an intellivision mystery box for 25 shipped to the us (includes includes intellivoice and 20+ games, not just the most commons games either)

      that's awesome!

  13. Finished sorting a huge nes lot I picked up locally, big cache of vectrex stuff under a bunch of accessories,  so expect some carts with overlays on the market place soon.

  14. My daughter has decided to go trick or treating as Smoke from rainbow six siege this year, she is super funny looking in the costume

  15. So I bought a lot of nes games off of craigslist, and the guy wanted 800 dollars for it, came with probably 2000 dollars worth of stuff,  He said I was the only person that didn't offer under 500 dollars, it never ceases to amaze me how much of cheapskates the majority of craigslist users are.

      Agreed!

       

      Some people also love shopping but don't have much money...Ya might say their appetite is bigger than their wallet.

  16.  list a rare atari game, expect a lowball from school_girl_in_a_short_dress

  17. I decided to finally rebuild some 5200 controllers I've had sitting around a few months (I need to get away from lesson planning for a little while)  Anyone 4 of the 6 are rev 9 pcbs, which is awesome since they'll actually be reliable with the carbon pads coated in silver. no need to buy replacement flex circuits for them.

  18. I was asked my what was my favorite star wars movie today, so I said space balls.

  20. sweet the atari stuff I picked up the other day had a copy of cannon man in it (the end label had fallen off, but it was in the box of stuff) so I got pac man atari corp and cannon man out of the score.

  21. scored some okay atari stuff today, (only new thing was an atari corp label pacman, which is cool) but as I was cleaning the 2600 I was thinking about how old the dust and dirt in there is.  Cleaning out stuff that is decades old.

  22. just brushed my teeth, feels good man

      @masschamberSo by that you mean you don't regularly brush your teeth?

    3. masschamber

      No, just I enjoy brushing my teeth

      Do you use toothpaste enhanced with steroids, just like Dieter Baumann once claimed he did?

  23. I don't get why they're bothering to dub Yakuza like a dragon, I don't think a dub is enough to bring in people that aren't interested and I don't think fans of Yakuza are the type of people that want  a dub.  But as long as they don't drop the original Japanese dub it  isn't a big deal.

    1. Magmavision2000

      As long as they get Mark Hamil to reprise his role as Majima, then I'm cool with a dub.

    2. masschamber

      masschamber

      yes that was quite a... thing

  24. so an old canuck decided he wanted to clear out his basement with a garage sale today, got all the best spectravision games (except mangia, but oh well I can take bumper bash, gas hog, and master builder) and obelix along with a few other games that weren't as interesting.  Nice have a good find again, hadn't had one in months.

    1. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      Nice, are they complete?  Either way, good score.

      cart only but it was 20 bucks for the whole lot, so nice to get them.

  25. anyone want a mcwill moded, recapped, power components replaced lynx 1 with 4 games and a power supply for 265 dollars shipped to the US?

    1. joeatari1

      joeatari1

      Unfortunately I just spent $300 at Songbird so I am out.  Would love this though as I have a Lynx II that was recapped and McWilled.:_(

      What's a Mcwill? Is that something Ronald McDonald's kids are gonna get when he kicks the bucket?
