  1. You can count me in again. This is always fun @KeeperofLindblum.
  2. Ok, here we go! Lots of things to unwrap, I love the festive paper. That is a really cool Retro Gamer Magazine, I'll have a good time reading through that. I am not familiar with Final Faction but I now have Issue number 1 of the comic and a figures to display. Some more reading for me and it seems really cool. It looks like some subject material that I'll be into though, good pick! I haven't played NARC since probably 1987. I was at my friend Anthony's house and we would play NES all the time. He always had the latest games and they were super cool. I look forward to reliving some happy memories. The Mappy Arcade is cool. Another game I have never played and look forward to trying. I love the card, so funny!🤣 And the Crash shirt fills a notch in my wardrobe that I've needed to expand. All of my shirts are either Atari, alcohol or sports themed. Thanks so much to my Secret Santa! You hit it outta the park!
  3. Cherry Mistress Atari Age!!!

  4. Extra RAM will not provide any benefit in "VCS mode". If you are looking at using PC mode with Windows, then 16 or 32 GB would be beneficial. If you are using a lighter OS such as a Linux variant then you can get by with the stock 8GB without any trouble.
  5. It's always a secret, until it isn't. Then it spreads like herpes.
  6. Luckily I have not had such a bad experience. I have ordered a number of things from their store and have received all of them, more or less. Their order fulfillment leaves a bit to be desired but their personal customer service has always seemed good to me. I ordered a few shirts in late November and received three in all the same size even though I ordered one of them in a larger size as a gift. I contacted support and they said they will forward my concern to fulfillment but I have yet to get a response from them. It's been about 2 1/2 weeks. If you go to their Discord server there are a few very helpful people on there, one being @davpa and the other being Ashlee. You will probably want to contact Ashlee with your info, she seems more in depth with the customer service matters. Here is the link to the VCS Discord. Good luck.
  7. You know, If I were your Secret Santa, you would be getting a Speaker Hat (tm) as a gag gift. (What's your address?)
  8. What happens when you open the box too early? Just ask these guys:
  9. Davpa is an Atari employee. He has been a You Tuber for a number of years and is now working as their developer liaison and social media assistant.
  10. To my Secret Santa: I have received the parcel and will hold off opening it, like I do every year, until Christmas morning. Thank you so much, I will post pics after I open it! To my Secret Santa Recipient: I got a little bit of a late start this year but the box should arrive in a couple days. I was also fighting two customer service battles when trying to get some gifts. Not a very smooth process this year on my end. Hopefully you like what I sent and will get many happy years of enjoyment out of it.
  11. The files are on the flash drive. Put the drive in a USB slot and then power on the VCS. The VCS will recognize the flash drive and give you 3 options, flash BIOS, flash OS, PC mode boot. You will want to flash the BIOS first and then the OS. You will need a keyboard plugged in to do this though. Good luck.
  12. Your title reminds me of my wife. The attractive graphics do not.
  13. Thanks Dave! We appreciate the update and hopefully things get a bit smoother for you and the team. Keep up the good work.
  14. So, It's been a few days now and I was wondering if anyone had news on Rich's condition. I did read a post by someone that the surgery went well but haven't heard anything beyond that. Rich, If you are reading this I hope that you are on the road to recovery and wish you well.
  15. Hope you all feel better soon. Warm blankets, hot tea and a comfortable sofa make it a lot more tolerable.
  16. Santa wouldn't bring that. It would be William Shatner smoking a crack pipe.
  17. But you're not buying a cartridge. You are making a donation to help build a library or whatever other purpose the local government has for the funds.
  18. Is a Greek Salad still called a Greek Salad in Greece?

      @jd_1138 French = pomme frites (fried potatoes).  And the French typically credit Belgium for their origin

      To the tune of The Guess Who's American Woman:

       

      American french fries,

      get away from me....eeeeee

       

      My waistline,

      let it be...eeeeee

      What did I start here?🤣

  19. DE released an update today on Twitter that they are working on a few bug fixes and and still testing. The VCS should get the game with the first update simultaneously. Then the other platforms will get the first update after.
  20. Meh. I thought the jewel encrusted VCS was kinda cool but I wouldn't pay much for it. I am a function over form kinda guy, although if it looks good all the better.
  21. Rich, I send you and your family the warmest of wishes and hope you will make a speedy recovery from this terrible disease.
  22. Still no birthday module though.☹️

      I'd rather have this!   It's like...A window to the mind, man.  Birthdays?   When ya get older you care less + less and would often not like to be reminded of your mortal coil,  furthering your journey on this inexorable march to the halls of death...

      That was so depressing, yet so poetic at the same time.  I have been touched by your words.

  23. You can use the link from Davpa two posts above. He is an employee at Atari and his google drive doc is legit.
