  1. What Atari VCS/2600 game do you never get sick of playing?  I could play Dig Dug daily for the rest of my life and never tire of it. 

  2. Is it common for monochrome monitors to warm up faster than color ones?

  3. If 2020 was a console, it would be the Atari VCS!

  4. Ooh! Shading is fun!

  5. Doom on SNES

     

  6. Just as a reminder, everything in the universe will be discontinued, and then re-released with an HDMI port added to it. 

  7. I finally discovered why I was having trouble soldering. The tip I have is wayyyyyy to broad.

  8. The game *I* like is clearly superior to the game *YOU* like in every way, shape, and form.

  9. Always make your bed. The dust mites are counting on you to trap the moisture under the covers for them.

  10. Last night I opened a can of worms (figuratively speaking);  I have now seen episodes 1 and 2 of a 1963 show called Doctor Who.

  11. I think I found why I didn't find the older Zelda games (LttP and back) to be fun; I need more story than action, and puzzles that isn't next to impossible to figure out without a guide. On that note, I find ALBW to be more fun than LttP.

  12. For those that give a rat's ass, ebay has over 4,000 Apple II items for sale. Highest it's ever been. As are the prices too!

  13. Weatherbabes or Newsbabes..?

  14. Wooo! Bought a Wii! A wee bit over $50 for a rvl-001 with 2 controllers, all hookups, sensor bar, and an sd card.

  17. I am never buying another new videogame console.  Feels good to be off the rollercoaster. Launch day? Don't care.

      It just feels underwhelming, the leap in graphics seems like more of a step up as opposed to what we've seen in previous generations.

      Then you have to deal with all the digital crap and accounts and all the annoyance that that brings, one day those servers are gonna be gone and we'd all better hope they patch that crap out before they close up shop.

      Each has less than a Terabyte in storage! That's pathetic! My laptop from 2015 had a Terabyte in it! With the size of some of these games that's only big enough for six or seven games. With the cost of storage 2 maybe even 3 Terabytes is easily possible, or maybe have a separate drive for the OS? Cause both of them eat up nearly 200 GB each.

      And besides, a lot of PC gamers have had these quality graphics for years and for many more this is just a CPU or GPU update away that most certainly won't cost 500 bucks.

      Geez, the more I look at these things the more I wonder why people don't just jump to PC for modern gaming.

  19. I have a decision to make here. I have just over $400, which might be just enough to get a PET, but I also need a Super Serial Card and an enhancement kit for my A//e, a CoCoSDC, funding for my VIC-20 35k cartridge and SDisk2, and want to play Ocarina of Time and Skyward Sword. Do I spend my money on the PET or hope I can make at least some profit from the 35k cart and SDisk2?

    I think biting myself to death would be easier to do than decide between these two.

  20. Rock me Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus, Amadeus!

  21. I am...the emotionless man.

  22. Pac-Kong

    A rare game?

  23. Opinion time! Should I bother with a Wii or go right to a Wii U? I have a modded Gamecube.

  24. gave myself a crazy Charlie horse this morning

  25. My favorite pastime is to search semi-rare 2600 games on Ebay and whine at how overpriced they are. 

    Very cathartic.
