  1. I wonder if anyone saved any of those email newsletters...
  2. Sounds like DISCover: https://curlie.org/en/Games/Video_Games/Console_Platforms/DISCover
  3. According to Dante the lower levels of Hell are already frozen.
  4. And they say video games were for kids' till the PS1.
  5. Just watched this: 

    You should too. O_o

      Sure Everybody wants to save Hitler's brain,...but put it into a Great White Shark,  You've gone too far.

  6. Wasn’t that a chapter of The Prince?
  7. Happy Halloween! I know it's been a rough year, but let's try to forget that for a day or so, shall we? Let's think about ghosts & candy & pumpkins & things that go bump in the night. Watch a creepy movie, eat some popcorn, & forget reality till tomorrow. 

  8. Do you remember Sweet Betsy from Pike?

      Is she the one that crossed the big mountains with her lover Ike?

      Yep. With two yoke of oxen, a big yellow dog, a tall Shanghai rooster, & one spotted hog.

  9. AT&T should be a British company.

    Because they're always at "T."

      they should include a tube of lube with each monthly bill.

    2. x=usr(1536)

      x=usr(1536)

      @eddhell: strangely enough, AT&T is the sane option around here.  The only other one is Cox, the company that lives up to the sound of its name.

      their coverage in my state sucks.  dead spots everywhere, useless if my car breaks down 30 miles away....and no other choice for internet in my area except satellite.

  10. The video store owner might own the building too. Or it's in a bad area, where no one cares to rent/buy the building. Urban explorers usually frown on taking things. I still won't recommend breaking & entering.
  11. If I remember right, the GB camera did get a Guinness World Record when it was released. (Smallest Camera.)
  12. I like the (pseudo) 3D hallway.
  13. There are at least two hundred-page threads stating how unenthusiastic most here are for the Ataribox, with reasons why.
  14. The last Zellers closed in January... 

  15. I spend very little money on gaming. When I do buy something, it's usually vintage. (The newest system I have is a Wii U.)

    Apparently, the earliest version of Tetris for the Game Boy had a different soundtrack.

      That's interesting.

  17. Are web directories, like DMOZ or Best of the Web, still useful or needed?

      Maybe for people who want some nostalgia, yes.

  18. It's stuff like this which keeps me from trying to sell stuff online. It just sounds like a headache, & it sounds like the marketplaces lean towards the purchasers.
  19. This is supposed to be slightly better than Google Translate for Asian languages: https://papago.naver.com/

      Slightly Better?

       

       

      Good,   Good,   this will still probably be hilarious, then.

      So this is a Korean translator? It might translate Japanese better than google since Korean and Japanese are closely related languages.

  20. So you admit then, that this is not merely an attempt to examine Pitfall, but is in fact an attempt to cancel it?
  21. The you should be more careful. Humanity has a tendency of destroying media we consider bad influences. If what we read, watch, & play has an influence on our actions, your essay could influence someone to take a stand against Pitfall, Indiana Jones, etc.
