    Finally got a computer! Now I can start learning BASIC and other programs!

      What kind?

      Windows 7. That way I can use batariBASIC and dabble in C. I'm excited to try my hand at programming!

      Oh, I thought you meant something old like a Commodore 64. Anyways, congrats!

    Has anyone here had good luck with Nintendo stock?

      I have not tried making Nintendo broth lately.  The last time I did, I mixed it with SEGA noodles and it turned out poorly.

    2. GoldLeader

      I have in the past but not currently,  though that rumor of a Switch 2 might have given them a boost..

      Not in my neck of the woods, which makes me lucky that I got mine back in 2017.

    Koopa or Bowser: Which sounds cooler?

      New screen name?  Bowser for sure!

      Like Koopa.

    My Famicom collection has grown to the point where I had to remove my NES collection from the shelf. If it gets any bigger, I'll have to start removing my 2600 games.

      WOW! I have only a single cheap knock off multicart for famicom ? I admit though I LOVE the size and look of famicom carts compared to the bulky large NES versions.

      Hmph.  First world problems.

    like 6 hamburger patties (no bun) 2 hours ago, and now everytime I belch, it smells like I farted out of my mouth.

      A beautiful thing, ain't it?

      frankodragon

      You didn't season them with Emeril spices, did you?  The last time I used his seasonings, I was a fart factory.

    3. Keatah

      A potent combination is hot dogs and cake frosting. They come out wet and that smell takes eons to completely dissipate.

    If anyone is a fan of Gamecenter CX, there is a 24/7 twitch channel that plays every episode of the show: https://www.twitch.tv/cardfrek

     

    1. masschamber

      masschamber

      yes yes I am, and that ones not ruined by that idiotic english over dubs.

    2. Magmavision2000

      Magmavision2000

      They play them on the stream after every other episode has been played. That's when the viewer count drops, and the people that are still there just riff on them.

    Milk is just cheesy water.

      Skim milk is just white water.  Yuck..

    2. Atarian7

      Atarian7

      I've been having skim milk since I was a kid.  I'm so used to it that milk with more than 1% fat is gross to me.

       

    3. retrorussell

      retrorussell

      Yuck; my folks drink skim milk.. 2% is just right for me.  I used to drink 3.whatever% but that's a bit much now.

  9. Magmavision2000

    Why do people pronounce MK Raiden as Rayden but pronounce the shmup as Rai-den (which is the correct way to say Raiden I think)? English is weird.

    1. The Usotsuki

      The Usotsuki

      The MK Raiden/Rayden is pronounced as "Rayden" by the various voice-overs, kind-of forcing things.  (But Japanese people will say it as proper Japanese nonetheless; that comes up once in Hi Score Girl.)

       

      It should honestly be Ry-den for both, but eh.

    2. masschamber

      masschamber

      I wouldn't go to mortal kombat  for authentic, well anything, Shaolin monks are Chinese pacifists, Raiden is a shinto god, everything is wacky, play mk for punching off peoples skulls, not learning about Asian cultures and language

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I wonder how Data says Raiden?

  10. Magmavision2000

    Would anyone attend a monthly-bi-monthly public domain movie night where you can riff on movies and talk with fellow Atariagers? I'm thinking about creating a Discord server for this purpose.

    1. dr. kwack

      dr. kwack

      Cool idea! I actually host a bad movie show on public access here in my neck of the woods. Public domain trash flicks, cartoons, even did an episode of all vintage educational movies!

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I like it.  I think it's an interesting idea.  Personally though, I'm just too busy this time of year...I'm pretty sure I'd be working and unable to participate...

    3. Magmavision2000

      Magmavision2000

      I decided to go ahead with it. You can look at the movie lineup on the announcement thread:https://atariage.com/forums/topic/306754-coming-soon-atariage-public-domain-movie-night/?tab=comments#comment-4536382

    Oh no! My seller of choice for my imports has raised their shipping prices from $2.49 to $19.99! 

    1. Shawn

      Shawn

      The cheap connect speedpak shipping isn't shipping to North America right now from what I was told. It's DHL, EMS, etc. or nothing right now because of the Apocalypse.

    2. Magmavision2000

      Magmavision2000

      Ah, that makes sense.

    To my Switch friends wondering why I have like 400 hours on YouTube. I've been watching all Best of The Worst episodes on repeat.

    1. ClassicGMR

      ClassicGMR

      And here I am with 400+ hours in Skyrim. ?

    2. Magmavision2000

      Magmavision2000

      Correction, I just looked up my play time for YouTube on the Switch, it's 530 hours.

    3. ClassicGMR

      ClassicGMR

      I bow down to you! That's either awesome or insane. :)

    Help, I was practicing hiragana and I accidentally summoned a demon. Is there anyone I can call to vanquish the demon?

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      I once called someone to deal with something strange in my neighborhood.  Unfortunately I can't remember who they were.

    2. HoshiChiri

      HoshiChiri

      No, but try practicing your katakana & maybe you'll send it back.

      Sorry. You'll have to learn all of the kanji to get rid of it. Good luck.?

    20200320_232724.thumb.jpg.aba2a7209eefa7aaf07c1d2ecbaa3ed8.jpgA quick update about the 2000s nick recording: after finding my old capture card, and finding an old VCR I thought was dead, I'm (proud?) to say I'm currently digitizing it and it will be on my Google Drive either in a couple of hours or tomorrow. Be warned though, I'm digitizing a decayed VHS tape using a composite capture card with low-quality AV cables, so don't expect it to be crystal clear. Here's a pic showing how damaged it is after being used for 18 years.

     

    Edit: I feel like I should list all the "features" of this tape. 

     

    1. A crap ton of Spongebob (nothing really special)

    2. Quite a few segments of the semi-obscure nick variety show Upick-Live (possibly some segments that were never uploaded on the internet!)

    3. Lots of both local and national commercials from the early 2000s.

    4. A Toonami commercial on Nick (don't know why)

    5. An anti-climactic secret that I'm hiding so people will watch the recording. ?

    6. Hours of early 2000s TV (However it's all Nick)

      Cool!  It looks as if Spongebob is stuck in a malfunctioning transporter.

    2. atari2600land

      atari2600land

      I have tons of old VHS tapes dating back to 1983, when I was a kid. The oldest Nick stuff is from the Ren & Stimpy era, though, I have like 3 tapes of Ren & Stimpy airings on Snick.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I have some Dungeons & Dragons cartoons and Land of the Lost reruns from the 80's on VHS complete with commercials...Ahhh..Good Times!

  15. Magmavision2000

    Happy New Year everyone. May you take your good spirits to the new decade and leave the bad one's here.

      You heard him everyone, leave all your bad spirits right here, in this status thread. I'll go first: you suck! You're a big poopy head and you stink!

  16. Magmavision2000

    So what are you guys gonna call the 2020s? I'm gonna call it "The Twenties The Next Generation".

    1. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      I've already seen people calling it "The New Roaring Twenties."

    2. Random Terrain

      Random Terrain

      20/20 means 'normal eyesight.' If it's true that most people have been in a kind of sleep-trance caused by 'scales' covering their eyes, 2020 could be the year when those scales fall off and they finally wake up. Some might call it the "Year of the Great Awakening."

    3. retrorussell

      retrorussell

      Because of all the lazy, entitled snowflakes in this generation, I'll call it the "Meowing Twenties".

  17. Magmavision2000

    I honestly think there's no movie more badass than The Streetfighter

    1. CPUWIZ

      Streefighter?  Someone who fights the Stree?

    I was watching someone do a review for the Atari Flashback Classics on the Switch, and of his complaints was  "You have to read the manuals to know what to do". 

    1. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      lol, wow how awful.. having to read, or just experiment and try things out.

    2. Lauren Tyler

      Lauren Tyler

      That's some kind of irony considering how complex video games are today.  Besides, reading the manual gives you some interesting insights into the stories for some games.

    Zelda 2 should be remade using the BOTW engine.

    1. Ryan Witmer

      Ryan Witmer

      It amuses me that Zelda 2 got so much flak back in the day.  Modern Zelda games probably have more in common with Zelda 2 than the original.  The game was ahead of its time.

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      Tales of Phantasia and CastleVania: Symphony of the Night owe their existence to Zelda 2. However, I doubt that Nintendo would remake Z2 in any way, shape, or form. (Unless they release it out of the blue a la 3DS Metroid 2.)

  22. Magmavision2000

    You know, Joe Besser wasn't that bad of a Stooge.

    1. retrorussell

      retrorussell

      I was too young to know him as a Stooge (I had watched some old Stooges that didn't have him yet) but I remembered him as Babu the genie in the cartoon Jeannie.

    2. SlidellMan

      SlidellMan

      I don't blame him for how dull the episodes he was in were. Rather, I blame lazy writers.

    I'm happy that Telnet still exists on Windows platforms. I like to see old, obsolete technology still being supported.

      I use it at work all the time, but not for actual sessions.  Quick and easy way to tell if a port is open/reachable on a remote machine!

    There's an increasing number of users who are using the "Buy, Sell, Trade" section of the forum for wanted posts, despite there being not only a subforum right under the buy, sell, trade subforum, but also a pinned post saying NOT to post wanted posts in the buy, sell, trade subforum.  Don't do this please.

      Wanting something is usually the first step in Buy, Sell, or Trade. Makes total sense and it isn't going to change.

    If you were to have a disappointing present gifted to you, would you rather get it on your birthday, or during Christmas?

    1. Jinroh

      Jinroh

      My birthday and Christmas are 3 days apart, so it is irrelevant I suppose. x3

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Wouldn't matter.  I don't dwell on the negative.
