  1. After fighting with the thing for a combined total of about an hour, I finally changed the furnace filters! Yay me!

      I changed mine last week....never ceases to amaze me how difficult it is. For me it's simply because the metal flashing sticks out a bit and the furnace catches on it. Argh!

  2. I got an email notification (apparently) from the USPS saying one of the packages I mailed on the 20th couldn't be mailed. #1: How did they get my e-mail address if I never told them it, and #2 - November 20th was a Sunday, and so the post office was closed. What do I do?

      OK, it's spam. Luckily I didn't open the attachment. Why do people send these things to destroy other people's computers? I could understand phishing, but causing damage to computers is just stupid.

      I've gotten those messages before, too. It's a scam. Delete it without opening it, and if you're running Windows, get yourself a copy of Security Essentials just in case.

      I got an e-mail from a Nigerian prince who wants to give me a million dollars, but he needs my bank account password to deposit the money. What do I do!!!!!!???????

  3. I saw a group of tents outside Best Buy. I said to mom "What is this? Occupy Best Buy?" One of the people in tent must have heard me because he said "Occupy Best Buy!"

      I heard about people camping out at some stores. All this over disposable Chinese junk no less. Some people are very, very sad.

      ^ Meh, if you plan on buying a TV for $1500 but realize you have a small window of opportunity to get it half off, well.. it's probably worth the time and effort, heh.

      Homer can't resist the big game, so he camps out in front of the ticket booth. And his strategy pays off -- he's second in the huge line.

       

      Homer: Heh heh heh, I did it! Second in line, and all I had to do was miss eight days of work.

      Man: With the money you would have made working, you could have bought tickets from a scalper.

      Homer: In theory, yes. Jerk.

  4. Christmas was declared a federal holiday in the US on June 26, 1870.

  5. One of my YouTube videos has gotten found out of "matching third party content"...after sitting idly there for more than TWO years!

    1. atari2600land

      And I highly doubt the people who allegedly created the music CARED that it was used on a clip of the Prevue Channel!

      Anyone who holds a copyright needs to understand Youtube is one of their largest assets. I have bought several albums and movies I have found by accident on Youtube. In addition, quality isn't great. It's better than it's been, but I will gladly pay a few dollars for a DVD, CD, or the actual game, over a youtube rip any day.

      I am not a person who frequently sets out to find new music, but I will look up the Streetlight Manifesto cover of "Red Rubber Ball" that was playing in the background of a Halo 2600 playthough.

      Ha....it was snowing last night and this morning on my way to work here. This time of year I like it though....no real accumulation and puts me into a holiday mood.

      I've never even seen snow... :(

       

  7. Good riddance, you stupid POS scanner/printer! I've been having problems with the asshole, now I need to find a new one!

    1. atari2600land

      atari2600land

      Yeah, mine just keeps getting the paper jammed in it and/or keeps getting black splotches of ink on the page I'm printing. Now it thinks it's jammed when it really isn't. That is the end of that stupid printer.

      You've been having problems with the asshole and need to find a new one? O_o

  8. Apparently my mom works with the twin brother of the new drummer of Screeching Weasels...

      jaybird3rd

      Well, maybe now you're separated by only two dozen degrees from Kevin Bacon.

  9. I feel like I should play the 2600 since it's part of my username, so which game should I play?

      I played Midnight Magic and Lady Bug. I don't have any of the adult ones, and it's not because they're adult, it's because they're so f-ing hard to find!

  10. Argh! I stayed up for 11am Pacific time for the special EAS broadcast and it never happened!

  11. I don't think that doctor should have been convicted in Michael Jackson's death. You know Michael didn't HAVE to obey his orders.

    1. Jess Ragan

      Jess Ragan

      Amazing how death can polish up a man's reputation, isn't it? Come on people, Michael Jackson wasn't a saint... he had serious issues, and you can't pass those off to everyone around him.

  12. AtariAge is back after its daily shutdown at 2am.

  13. wished Sega would have made a ChuChu Rocket game for the Saturn. I bet it would be doable.

    1. Austin

      Austin

      Of course it would be--they did it on the Game Boy Advance, and someone else did it on the Sega CD.

  14. I changed my avatar!

    1. pangasinan

      pangasinan

      I changed my underwear !

    2. Fixitguy74

      Fixitguy74

      Well panga should be good for another year or so now.

  15. endured a hideously long update just to play a more recent 3DS game.

    1. MagitekAngel

      MagitekAngel

      Pop game in, try to run, download mandatory firmware update, install, reboot system, try to run, mandatory hard drive installation, try to run, download mandatory game patch, install patch, try to run game....

      Boot up NES instead.

  16. Happy birthday dear... nobody?

    1. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      The birthday feature seems to be broken. Mine was on October 20th (and I've set it in my profile), but it wasn't listed.

  17. Got a spam email from someone claiming to be the NY State DMV about a parking ticket. It helps that I live in Oregon...

    1. BigO

      BigO

      But, but, but, it sounds so authentic. I can't believe you guys weren't taken in by that.

      I have been receiving these lately also. At first I thought it was real because the missus and I spent the 10 days back east in the beginning of October. I am from Oregon also.

      My Uncle posted some very authentic looking speeding tickets and sent them to his friends and family. It wasn't until you read the fine print at the bottom that you saw it was a birthday invitation :)

  18. Just got a CIB copy of Super Solitaire for the SNES for $10.

  19. I'm going to fix tuna fish and put mayo and some sliced onion in it.

    1. the.golden.ax

      the.golden.ax

      I hear breeding fish is quite rewarding too (in case you need some suggestions once you fix it) The trick is that they are VERY slippery so hang on tight when you breed with them.

    2. Fixitguy74

      Fixitguy74

      You can tune a piano, but can you tuna fish?

    3. Grig

      Grig

      Isn't saying 'tuna fish' like saying 'hot water heater'?

  20. My ultimate dream is to launch a radio station airing nothing but Christmas songs all year round.

    1. atari2600land

      atari2600land

      Really? Do you have the Crash Test Dummies Christmas album? I'm kicking myself for not buying it when I saw it last year.

    2. the.golden.ax

      In all it's awe...ful...ly inspiring glory :D

      The worse the better, I say. I don't know how anyone can beat the "Christmas In the Heart" album by Bob Dylan, though.

  21. I expected the Spanish Inquisition.

      Chuck D. Head

      You are quite astute. Usually no one expects the spanish inquisition. I have my eye on you.

      Atari Peripheral Emulator?

  23. Can anyone here make Odyssey 2 cartridges? I want my Ants! game on one. Maybe I could release it or something.

  24. Actual headline from Jay Leno's segment: "Remember, September is baby penis mouth."
