  1. Amazon just randomly stopped showing search results for me. Will say "84 items found" and then nothing displays. What. The. Hell. Anyone ever encountered this? I cleared my cache and cookies, re-started the browser and still happens, on my phone as well...

  2. Finally got a copy of Icehouse's Man Of Colours! Finally can here Electric Blue on something other than small, tinny PC and TV speakers!

  3. Cool. I got Sulfur burps this morning!

  4. The Grady bunch, the Grady bunch. That's the way we became the Grady bunch.

  5. Be sure to overuse the word 'literally' and make sure that you say "little Lee" each time instead of pronouncing it correctly.

      That's literally making me laugh my ass off.

  6. Lymphoma treatment is really beating the crap out of me and sapping my energy. Looking for suggestions for comedy tv shows to make me laugh a bit more

      More successful ones were The Good Place (excellent!), AP Bio (good), and Speechless (reliable).

      I'm sorry to hear that. :( The funniest recent-ish comedies for me were Love Bites, Don't Trust the B--- in Apartment 23, and Selfie. All had short runs, so they may be new to you.

  8. Played Dragonfire on the CV flashback. Is the bridge sequence so utterly unplayable on a real cart? It's not one I ever owned. Such a great game on the 2600.

      The bridge sequence is tough. And once you have to leap the gap or dodge arrows, it gets crazy. Dragonfire is one of my favorite games, but the CV version never was.

  12. USB microphone suggestions? I have professional and recreational reasons for asking. Don't want to spend a king's random and don't want crap.

  13. After 16 years, I'm switching from Mac back to Linux. Apple just isn't interested in earning my money any more, and hasn't been for years.

      My wife convinced me to get a 4K screen to go with the Linux box I built. She was right, it's wonderful having the sharpness and clarity of 4K.

      Yeah, their tablets and phones are still worth it. I'll probably be an iPhone user for the foreseeable future.

  15. Seems there's a push for 4K rendering in MAME..

  16. Finally purging all our VHS tapes. Many we haven't even watched.

      Don’t you want to wait for the hipster-led VHS revival, so you can score big bux selling ‘em on eBay

  17. There's two schools of thought when it comes to pondering selling things you've collected. One is "If you have to ask whether you should keep or sell something then you should probably hold onto it." and the other is "If you have to ask whether you should keep or sell something then you probably don't need it."

      If you haven't used it in 2+ years, you probably don't need it.

  18. If atari still sold the 2600 and made games.

  19. As a kid, I thought Lucille had left him with four hundred children and a crop in the field.

      Exactly, @Flojomojo. The social media space is surprisingly fragmented.

  21. Do people still FAX anymore? I imagine usage has gone down following the advent of Scan to Email..

      Some banks and insurance companies still require you send stuff to them via fax. It is harder to man-in-the-middle a fax transmission.
