+DZ-Jay Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Yeah DZ you can do that towards cart or NEXT cart Unless you decide to offer a toque. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Unless you decide to offer a toque. I wondered what you all were talking about so I had to Google it. From Wikipedia: In Canada, toque, or tuque /ˈtuːk/, is the common name for a knitted winter hat, or watch cap (also called a beanie). The Canadian English term was assimilated from Canadian French tuque. Toque first appeared in writing around 1870.[2][3][4] I've never heard of a Toque. Down south we call them "beanies".

Sir Guntz Posted December 6, 2013 Share Posted December 6, 2013 Ever since day one, I've known them as Toques. Though for a lot of years I didn't know (or couldn't remember) how to spell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted December 7, 2013 Share Posted December 7, 2013 (edited) Its hard to believe people never heard of toques. It is -41c or -41f (same thing) today with the windchill.. toques are a part of life in winter here also snow shovels. I bet many never heard of block heaters. But after finding out when it gets -41 cars wont even crank over without one you would remember. Skin also freezes in 5-10 minutes at that temp. Cant wait till +40c temps 104f. But have to wait 7 months for that.. Edited December 7, 2013 by Jinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjchamp3 Posted December 7, 2013 Author Share Posted December 7, 2013 All of you should be getting orders by DEC 14TH latest and Canada hopefully by 18th or sooner and International LETS hope by DEC 25th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But after finding out when it gets -41 cars wont even crank over without one you would remember. Skin also freezes in 5-10 minutes at that temp. Cant wait till +40c temps 104f. But have to wait 7 months for that.. Coldest temp I've ever cranked my car up was about 20 or so degrees F. Took about half a second longer than usual to crank and the idle was slightly rough for about a two minutes or so as the frigid engine warmed up. It drove fine though. I believe it had E10 in my tank (10% Ethanol), not pure gas. Ethanol content raises the cold start temp on internal combustion engines so if you live up north putting moonshine in your vehicle (assuming it's flex fuel) during the winter months is probably a dumb idea. I've heard Engine block warmers are only necessary for Diesel engines, not gasoline, although I've never lived in places where the temperature dipped below zero. Teens and below are extremely rare here although it does dip below freezing occasionally. We are getting our first hard freeze of the year tonight (Shreveport, La). For the record, people do wear "toques" in the south, except we've always referred to them as "beanies." Some beanies seem to do a better job than others of keeping our heads warm though. I think a few of them are more for fashion than performance. Many of the beanies they sell here are either borderline Jr sized or they're too short in general and don't seem to fully cover my ears. Others are too thin. I've never heard the term "toque" a day in my life, until I read this thread. That said, I'd like to have a beanie/toque/whatever-you-call-it for endless snow if you can have one made. Some 2600 sprite art pulled from the game would be nice along with the title. People like us appreciate pixel art. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinks Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 No engines gas or diesel start -40. Without plugging in or a boost. Up north like in NWT or Yukon I have heard they never shut some engines down for weeks as to impossible to get running(buses) Hats here are like top hats, straw hats, etc. But never toques. Toques are for freezing sub zero temps and skateboarders in summer wearing extremely thin ones. Its a term regional to Canada and northern US. But we wear toques so much you would think it would be a common language in North America. Like when I hear someone say ice hockey.. wth there is hockey and thats it. All other forms have words like road hockey etc. We dont call it grass baseball or outdoor tennis or whatever wouldnt you southern people think we got it wrong if we did? Maybe another 100 years will straighten out... but we got bigger problems in our world so call it what you want and play Atari!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atari181 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 A bit of advice I am a collector and condition is absolutely everything to me. DO NOT ship any boxes via media mail in a bubbleope. I received mine today and the label on the game is messed up in two places and the end of the box is bent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant believe these cib were shipped in a bubbleope . I'm glad I did not purchase one ! I fear buying from anyone other than AA store which is top notch all the way around . Even colecovision homebrew scene uses cheaper cart labels which tend to just fall off or are cut crooked .

+DZ-Jay Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 OMG! Did you really ship the games on bubblelopes?! That's unconscionable. Here's hoping mine arrives ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toymailman Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I got mine today and played it on my 2600. Fun game! However, I think I found a bug in it. I can't seem to get the snow if it is all the way to the right of the screen. I have moved my joystick all the way that direction, but I can't fling the snow into my neighbors yard. Picture is below.

atari181 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I kept them FLAT for that reason as for the label I can send you a new one FREE to replace no problem thereKeeping them flat does not protect them(as seen in my pic) nothing sold in or with a box should be shipped in a bubbleope(a box is the same price) As for the label, the paper is obviously not the issue, but the adhesive which failed on the end label and the top of the cart.

rjchamp3 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 In all honesty GUYS I really thought I was shipping them the BEST way possible, I know how things are when it comes to YOUR carts, I made sure when I got them they were NOT assembled so I could EXTRA clean them and PUT labels on myself.... If anyone else has an issue PM please i'm easy to work with thanks...... But for the future I see what I must do to ship them boxes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
