      Oh I thought you were gonna say;

       

      Like we say in Sweden,

       

      Ni är idioter

       

      (OK I was going for  "You guys are Dorks",   but I'm pretty sure it translated "Idiots")...The playful nature of "Dorks",  also one step closer to nerds, well...Nuances of language do intrigue me I suppose...As do unfinished sentences and **whatever the plural of ellipsis is**  ...

      Nah, expressing admiration for Infogrames/Nutari maybe is a sign of poor judgement, but not necessarily idiotic.

    Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
    Great chieftain of the puddin' race!
    Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
    Painch, tripe, or thairm;
    Weel are ye wordy o' a grace
    As lang's my arm.

     

    The groaning trencher there ye fill,
    Your hurdies like a distant hill,
    Your pin wad help to mend a mill
    In time o need,
    While thro your pores the dews distill
    Like amber bead.

     

    His knife see rustic labour dight,
    And cut you up with ready slight,
    Trenchin' your gushin' entrails bright,
    Like onie ditch;
    And then, O what a glorious sight,
    Warm-reekin', rich!

     

    Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive;
    Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
    Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
    Are bent like drums;
    The auld Guidman, maist like t' rive,
    "Bethankit" hums.

     

    Is there owre his French ragout,
    Or olio that wad staw a sow,
    Or fricassee wad mak her spew
    Wi perfect scunner,
    Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
    On sich a dinner?

     

    Poor divil! see him owre his trash,
    As feckless as a wither'd rash,
    His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
    His nieve, a nit;
    Thro bloody flood or field t' dash,
    O, how unfit!

     

    But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
    The tremblin earth resounds his tread,
    Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
    He'll mak it whissle;
    An legs an arms an heads will sned
    Like taps o thrissle!

     

    Ye Pow'rs wha mak mankind your care
    And dish them out their bill o fare
    Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
    That jaups in luggies
    But if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
    GIE HER A HAGGIS!

      @jgkspsx Hahaha. Oh wow! I remember this jgk. I use to have it in my kindergarden-1 grade class growing up. I thought I was the only one that did so. Thank you for sharing this with me bro. This made my night for sure. :thumbsup: :)

  4. krikzz update: made it safely out of Ukraine with his family. In Moldova, heading to Spain.

      Great news for the retro gaming community and fans of Everdrive products. I imagine it would take him quite a while to get back into it, even if he ends up having to settle in Spain. If he could manage to set up shop with them there though, that could provide his family with income they might desperately need right now.

      I’m just glad he’s safe and has a place to go. I wish the same for everyone else.

      Seattle had a similar artist named Ricky Rebel who used to hang out at the Art Bar in the 90s. Unlike Wesley, he was a skinny white guy but like Wesley he played a keyboard except I think he also played guitar too after the keyboard got the beat going. And some of his songs were just as weird and obscene.

       

      One of his songs that was recorded live and played on the public access show The Ted Narcotic Show (also the band that I joined in 2016) was called "I Wanna Kill Tom Petty." At the end of the song he yells I f**kin hate you! a few times while pouring a glass of red wine on his head. My guitarist also got a cassette album Ricky Rebel recorded. With strange songs like "I Wanna Be Raped by Michael Jackson," "Disco Satan," and my favorite, "Stupid F**kin' B**ch" lol

      I wish the absolute Best for all of the Ukraine and all its people and hope they repel the hostile foreign invaders (as seems to be happening).  Hang tight Krikzz!  Your products do Rule!  (But that's beside the point).

      unlike other bs, this is very real... I hope as many people make it through this unscathed as possible. This wouldn't have happened under different circumstances that's for sure. Here's hoping real help arrives, people will come to their aid and help, every little bit can help.

      The different circumstances I am hoping for are a small piece of lead entering the back of Vladimir Putin’s skull :) 

       

      Surely somebody in the Russian military command realizes he’s gone off the deep end. If they don’t stop him now they are going to be in his sights next as he continues the Stalin cosplay.

  9. A guy who kept a bunch of rare Game Boy games in his attic found the plastic was all destroyed. I was going to switch to plastic totes for storing cartridges instead of cardboard boxes, but now I'm thinking no...

      When I first saw that episode,  I looked up "cromulent" in the dictionary to see if it was a real word.

      The answer is no.

      Thankfully "embiggens" is real.

      @GoldLeader They added it precisely because of the Simpsons. It wasn't a word, but people started using it so it became one.

  11. Way more original ideas and games I'm excited for in the Atari Homebrew Awards than in today's Nintendo Direct, is all I'm saying.

  12. Live A Live remake, with Octopath Traveler-style "deep 2d" pixel art, coming to Switch! The best RPG the west never got (at least that I've played). What a lovely surprise!

      Here is the whole Nintendo Direct.

       

       

      Man, are these companies all out of ideas or what? It's all remakes, sequels, and spinoffs. Front Mission 1 remake looks as good as Live a Live though a lot more people have played that series. Fire Emblem Warriors 2 looks good if you need even more Dynasty Warriors in your life. Xenoblade Chronicles 3 looks a lot more like the first one and a lot more likeable than whatever the heck Everquest wannabe the second game was. I'm happy that Nintendo finally deigned to let people play Mother again (but still no Mother 3). Wii Sports 4 looks great, and is long overdue. But there really wasn't anything new at all except Kirby, and, man, Kirby just ain't what he used to be.

      My XE-1AP is in a similar situation, if it makes you feel better. The right analog stick/slider thingy doesn't work. Absolutely no idea how I'd go about fixing it, or if it's even possible.

      240x160, 480x272, 512x192, and 800x240 will all be important for the year as well. And really 256x240 needs to be several places up the list…

      I always love the arcade scenes. Missed getting a screenshot of Sega’s Turbo, the seminal proto super scaler game.

  21. Odd thing I noticed: “SONIC” in the font they used on the top label on the Genesis games looks like a stylized “DINOS” when viewed upside down.

      HHhMMmmm...Would you believe I even have that game?  Yup!  Just looked.  Not sure I've ever played it though.  It's open but looks brand new...Even though it looks fun,  it also looks like you'd have no idea what the hell is going on haha...I got the Target exclusive version with a comic book inside etc.  I think I played it once a long time ago then moved on to something different.

      I got pretty far. For one of the post-Adventure games I thought it was very good, but that’s not saying too much. The mandatory wii motion control was a bummer - I would totally buy a remaster with normal controls.

  24. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but cassette tape storage works perfectly for normal Famicom, Genesis, and (usually) 32X games. Forget about the vintage official storage and hit Goodwill for some $2 specials!

  25. If this isn’t a particularly joyous day for you, know that you’re not alone. Many of us have new and painful gaps in our families and our group of friends, and at the best of times the holidays can be hard on a lot of people. Thinking of you today.
