  1. Mother forking shirt balls! The Good Place has been renewed for a second season!

      I lost all interest when he clicked his fingers. My wife and I have zero interest in watching "The Bad Place".

      I've always hated Ted Danson as an actor.

  2. You are completely unlickable. I hope you get your just deserts!

    1. retrorussell

      retrorussell

      As in, stranded in a desert? Or did you mean desserts?

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      The only time I ever saw an ice cream cone that was unlickable, it was a dessert in the desert!

  3. Are you devious enough to beat Xevious?

    1. retrorandy

      retrorandy

      That is a great tagline. I googled a bit to try and find the commercial, but no luck. Love this game, but never got very far in it.

    2. save2600

      save2600

      Nope, definitely not devious enough! lol

  4. Is video game grading still a thing?

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I think those ridiculous VGA examples on ebay simply serve to raise the prices of games from smaller vendors...(In varying amounts)...

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I think it's a subtle psychological effect...If people see high prices enough, they assume the game is worth more. Truth is, in the end a game is "worth" what someone is willing to pay.

    3. Keatah

      Does anyone grade consoles? Certainly classic computers with all their parts and keyboards and capacitors and sockets..all could use an official exam prior to buying.

      There are so many old guys around here, it's hard to know who to look out for!

  7. In the ancient Chinese board game of Go, 'Atari' is a polite warning that the warrior needs food, badly.

    1. retrorussell

      retrorussell

      I thought it was praising the virtues of the Paperboy? Or maybe it means "Everything you know is wrong" (Marble Madness).

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      It means All your base are about to belong to us

      Iwantgames:)

      Wait if everything I like is stupid and everything you like is awesome. What about if we like the same thing? Is it stupidly awesome? :)

  11. John Wick: Chapter 2 looks like more of the same. In a good way. :)

    1. DZ-Jay

      That's a good thing then. I liked the first one a lot!

    2. Ransom

      That first one was so fun! And quite the body count!

  12. Someone you trust is one of us.

  13. If I see one more post spelling it "Rouge One," I'm gonna hurt someone.

  14. Remember to face me on my Likebook page!

  15. Is eBay the best thing to happen to the Earth since recycling was invented?

    1. Keatah
    2. Galactus

      Galactus

      Except for maybe the Hallmark channel.

    3. Jess Ragan

      Jess Ragan

      I'd like to think that, but then all the thrift shops price their products to match. Pawn shops have better prices these days.

  16. Looks like we may get 10" of snow over the weekend where I live. Yay.

    1. pangasinan

      pangasinan

      Lucky you, I have never seen snow in my life.

    2. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      ^Wow! Come visit me in the States Pangasinan...And you'll get your fill!

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I always seem to like snow up until about Christmas and New Years, then it turns from Holiday Cheer and sleighbells to being a pain in the Ass!

  17. By default, Retro Computer = Commodore 64 and Retro Console = NES. But not for me!

    1. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I'm thinking COLECO ADAM and ATARI...But That's me...

      Frankly, I'm glad whenever someone thinks C64. Usually retro gaming only involves Nintendo, possibly Sega and Sony consoles.

  18. Just got the bill for a medical test I had last month. I owe nearly $1000 for the lab tests. Merry Christmas!

    1. save2600

      save2600

      No such thing as a free lunch, you're paying for it one way AND another - taxes duh!

    2. BydoEmpire

      BydoEmpire

      Paying a lot less, though... and paying in a predictable, consistent way, not getting whacked with a huge, unexpected bill.

    3. cybercylon

      cybercylon

      We are going to get one of those bills very soon as someone in the family was never admitted but only held for overnight observation. Makes a big difference in what you owe out of pocket.

  19. A true retrogaming purist only uses vintage electrons to run his machines.

    1. Ransom

      Ransom

      I picked mine up in a shop that said they'd only been used once, to run Jimmy Page's amp back in the 70s.

    2. Bryan

      Bryan

      Grampa, these electrons smell like mildew and camphor!

    3. Ransom

      Ransom

      Thing is, once electrons have been sitting around that long, you have to manually feed them into the jack.

      Yup, 1972 all the way.

  22. Waitress: You want me to hold the chicken, huh? Bobby: I want you to hold it between your knees.

  23. The office was closed early today, so I'm home watching The Rifleman on MeTV. :)

      Airwolf is cool too. We need more tv channels with 70's and 80's shows

  24. Guess who's coming to dinner.
