      If it wsan't for The Crash, I assumed there would have been at least more racing games for it...

      Ideally some where you can crash into opponents on purpose, as those were always ...ummm...Funnest!

      If you could throw in a few extras with my next order that would delight my daughter,

      I would be glad to do that, just please make a note at the end of your order so I don't forget.  :)

  3. Probably the second nicest thing about working from home (first being the amount of time I can spend with my daughter) has been clearning out my extras.  Right now I'm trying to decide what to clear out next, extra timex sinclair stuff (no carts) and remaining extra coleco stuff, or the extra nintendo 64 stuff.  Anyone interested in a timex sinclair 2068?

      I have to work from home, even if I wanted to do my planning and lessons from school, it's locked 4 days a week or something and appointments to come in need to be scheduled.

      I don't have any more time with my son than I did before (WFH full time), but it is really nice to see him intermittently throughout the day!  I'm really enjoying working from home.  I'm thankful I'm able to do it, and it's going great so far.  Very focused and productive!

      Working from home for months; basement and collection are fully organized; love it!  And yes the extra time NOT commuting to be with family is very nice.

       

      Tell me what you have for N64!

  4. Got a package from atariage today, forgot is was coming.  Nice little surprise there.

  5. My wife did a grocery run yesterday and I sent her to get 6 fresh bagels and 3 dozen packaged bagels, she miss understood and  brought back 4 dozen fresh bagel and 5 dozen prepackaged, so I'll be eating bagels in some for breakfast, lunch and dinner for the next few days until we use up the fresh ones.  That's not so bad and they're really good bagels.

      I'm sure in a different universe, I've had a lot of bagels.  I applied to work at a bagel place out of high school, but was not hired.  I like the asiago cheese bagels, but just eat them plain.  Nothing on them.  

    3. masschamber

      Bageltigro version, I only have sesame seed and cinnamon raisin among the fresh ones, so cinnamon raisin for breakfast, Use the sesame bagels for sandwiches and such for lunch and dinner.

      so YOU were the reason they were out of friggin' bagels at the store! lol

  6. I checked out the thrift store today after picking up my daughter, as we were walking around she starts pulling my hand and shouting superman superman, and in cheap storage chest there is a  complete in box copy of superman (she loves superman for the 2600 and noticed it instantly), the thing was full of atari games, they must have been in it  when it was donated, so I bought the entire box, (4.99 for the whole thing, so worth it just for the cib superman) I get home and start going through the box, there are a few boxes I don't have, which are nice and the there is a cart only halloween, so my daughter has now has a super awesome find at only 3 years old

  8. apparently ebay will add best offer to your buy it now listings without asking, how considerate

      here is the email

      Buyers can now make offers on your listings.

      Your listings that accept offers from buyers have a higher chance of selling because they provide you more opportunities to attract buyers and to make a deal. If you haven’t already, be sure to download our app, so you don’t let any offers pass by. Every offer is an opportunity!

      If you don’t want to receive offers, go to manage offer settings to update your preference.

      Wow, that's goofy. At least you can update your prefs to squash that shit. Irritating as it is.

      Years ago ebay was a dream and creating a auction was quick and friendly. Now it's an ever-increasing money grubbing, non user-friendly pain in the butt.

  9. tried the impossible whopper, I think they gave it that name because it is impossible to finish it, my wife also tried it not knowing it was anything unusual and she found  it to be awful as well

      No idea about BK's, I haven't been to BK in decades, but I did like the one impossible burger I had a year or so ago at another place.  Wouldn't go out of my way for it, but it was good.  Then again i eat a lot of veggie burgers.  I'm more inclined to buy organic Donna Lee farms or Dr. Praeger's.  Most of the cheapo ones are a mess of processed soy.

      I used to love the BK Veggie! (Which if ya wondered was a Morning Star Farms Garden Veggie patty).  I wonder if they still have those?  I haven't been there in a while.

      I'll probably (eventually) order Froggie as is, myself...And save POKEYs for Bentley Bear and Pac Man Plus ...Yeah a little behind on my collecting...Life has given me too many things to buy. Most are more necessity than fun though.

      too bad there isn't a multicart with the 4 32k pokey games, I would definitely buy that one

      well she taps her foot to the intro and does ch cha ch sound. But I don't know if I can handle a song about carefree summers during the cold responsibility filled winter. Though that lead singer sure is hypnotically ugly

      For some reason, when that happens, it is the day after sleeping like that is when I feel worse (bad sleep Tues night, feel worse on Thurs than Wed)

      Happens a lot to me too! It does seem to take a day or two before you really get hit with tiredness...My advice (Probably obvious) is to try to get more sleep the next night, Maybe take a sleeping pill or melatonin a few hours before ya usually go to bed. Take vitamins, drink coffee or tea as needed too.

      I played it in the arcade... I don't remember it being terrible, and I'm not a huge fan of beat-em-ups. Then again, if I played it today my opinion may be different.

      The controls are utter crap compared to Street Fighter II. It is hard to believe that the guys that made this game went on to make Art of Fighting and Fatal Fury.
