    So my wife had a friend over so I could help him with his homework (2nd grader and he had like 100 assignments)  but after an hour he couldn't work anymore so my wife said go play with my daughter.  Being an 8 year old boy, he didn't look happy.  Then my daughter ran up to him carrying an Optimus Prime and asking "Do you want to play with Transformers?"  never seen  a more relieved expression.

    Disappointed in Astroblaster, but Astrofighter more than made up for it... or is it the other way around.. or I am I confusing one astro- game with another...why don't games have astro in the titles so much anymore?

      kinda like the 80's strange obsession with the word "Tron" and how many games and or franchises used "Tron" in the name

      I loved Astro Blaster in the arcade and the homebrew...Pretty sure I need Astro Fighter...Maybe I should pick up Astro Invader while I'm at it? heh

    My Daughter(3) logged into my final meeting of the day while I was in the bathroom, she knows clicking green buttons on screen connects to things, she told everyone  I was in the bathroom, then proceeded to started them other funny things like to read chickachicka boom boom in english class.  Suffice to say she made everyone's day.

    Nintendo 64 games seem to have filtered themselves into 3 categories, expensive, terrible, and wrestling games.  And expensive doesn't mean good either.

      Does the N64 have that WCW game that has a skeleton, Santa Claus, and an Anime Girl as unlockable characters?

      Didn't seem like any of your categorizations were meant to be nice! XD

      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.  :)

    Man, the package of spicey ramen noodles I had tonight for dinner was missing the dried vegetables and meat packet, still not bad without them and I do add my own ingredients in, but they are nice to add.

    In the end the noodles still made the foundation of a nice dinner.

      The only ones I really  like anymore are the Maruchan Yakisoba noodle bowls, but they are more scarce than toilet paper these days.

    Deadly premonition is ugly, runs poorly, has a stupid story and questionable gameplay, but boy is it charming and I am enjoying.

      DP is one of the great cult games out there and is often called Twin Peaks: The Video Game. Even wrote a GFAQs guide for it. Either you get it or you don't and it looks like you do. BTW, what platform (PS3, X360, PC, Switch).

    finally thought I cleared out all of my spare 2600 games, then what do I find, 2 medium boxes full of games, so I have about another 150 or so to clear out again.

     

    1. Theallknowingsause

      Theallknowingsause

      I hope one day I'll have 2 spare boxes of random Atari 2600 games that I can forget about, that's the life I want to live in.

    an atari corp class,  I opened a new sealed copy of realsports baseball for the 7800 and what was inside? why a 2600 cart.  

    Quality control at atari corp was glorious.

      Wow.  The wrong game cartridge in the wrong box, with the wrong board in the cartridge!  It's a turducken of failure!

      Makes you wonder how all those carts ended up in Venezuala, 

      Bob:Hey Steve, where is this shipment going?

      Steve (not listing, talking to wife on phone)  : I'm thinking we should visit Venezuala next winter.

      Bob: Venezuala it is, Got an address?

      Steve (after wife asked where he wants to go for dinner): Anywhere is fine.

      Bob:Okay, I'll just leave that blank then.  (walks away)

      Steven: Hey, Bob did you say something? (no response) Eh, doesn't matter.

      Fish tanks, now that is a good idea for a game.

    replaced the thermal grease on my ps4, finally pretty quite again.

      Shame it isn't quiet again.

      Your taking your life in your own hands when applying thermal grease. ;)

  14. masschamber

    completely disassembled my ps4 then cleaned out all of the dust, far far quieter.

  15. masschamber

    SO I was going through my box of odd ball 3rd party controllers and I found one called the faster blaster, I could not blaster faster with with it.

  16. masschamber

    If anyone needs a vic 20 rf unit, I have 2 available for 15 shipped each. or both for 25

  17. masschamber

    well this is kind of funny, if I name folder risedragon at the location f:\scdr it consistently crashes my computer, regardless of device I create it in.  nothing on the drive is corrupted, no other problems, just a crash.

      Could it be because "risedragon" is more than 8 letters and "rdragon" isn't?

      Did you forget to enter 4, 8, 15, 16, 23 and 42?

    I've found Resident evil resistance is not a bad game, though I do wonder, did they use material from it for nemesis or nemesis material for it (not that either is brimming with content), but they make no effort to balance the match making, high level survivors, low level mastermind, survivors will just plow through, low level survivors, high level mastermind, a wall of monsters the survivors have no hope of penetrating.

    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!

      I believe I've read that there may be one more pre-order run.   If you're interested, sign-up on their mailing list and you'll get notified right away.

    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

      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

    Managed to get a copy of Daikatana for the nintendo 64, heard it was terrible and guess what?  It is!  Nice having that confirmed.

    1. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      I never played that one either,  the only thing I really ever knew about it was it had fantastic box art.

      MrMaddog

      GBC version is the best one to get since it plays like a Zelda game, no bad level design or buggy AI...

    down to my last ~25 loose intellivision carts, if anyone wants some cheap intellivision games let me know

    1. Theallknowingsause

      Theallknowingsause

      One time I found an Intellivision in someones garbage, even had a couple games with it!
      I took it home and dried it off and it worked perfectly, even both controllers worked!
      I really wish I still had it, we moved and we didn't have room for it ?

    2. Cobra Kai

      Cobra Kai

      I would love to score an Inty setup in good shape

    Remember why I didn't fix that channel f months ago, that razor sharp rf shield
