The Spider-Man film won best animated feature. I'm happy with that.

The best picture is Green Book.

Do they still have some guy streaking across the stage?

Was these stuff prices lower?

Total order was USD $75, but all the items seemed normal.

Maybe I have few money that's why they only get $1.98.

I use gift cards only,  not mastercard/visa cards.

I just watched reviews.

Somes like it, others not.

Here's what The Critical Drinker has to say: 

^ I love Critical Drinker and Nerdrotic!

A phone is a computer without a keyboard.  A car is a computer with wheels and an engine.  Modern TVs are computers without keyboards.  Your "smart toaster" is a computer with heating coils.  Pretty much everything these days is a computer without a keyboard...

Computer without a keyboard = computer without a keyboard 

Smart toasters?

I guess they're running on Java.

I never thought they exist.

It's a real missed opportunity on the Colecovision. Not a very good effort.

I always felt the Coleco was clunky feeling in controller response and not well refined system overall - just rushed out to compete in the video console wars, the only thing that was better than others were some of the graphic abilities

let's test my theory:  Drop a Coleco and 2600 from a second-story balcony, set remains on fire for 60 seconds, dowse with bucket of water, let dry outside for 72 hours, then tell me which one still works.

Tengen or Namco?

Namco.

Tengen is better I think.

Actually, the llama was hanged from a leap by its owner.

Sounds like some llama ddrama

Was that an old 50's song?  Llama Drama Ding Dong?

Without portables or smartphones or wifi, it would be impossible to post anything when the power is down.

That was pretty much my point!  Try doing the same thing in the 90's or early 2000's.

Sorry aboot that.

@Serguei2 Merely a joke,  Poking fun at adults who are so joined at the hip to their iPhones...They remind me of Linus and his security blanket.

PS Not saying cell phones don't have their place (And they are Amazing time wasters in certain situations!),...But when I see people walking down the street with their head buried in a phone;...It boggles my mind.  Even if you needed to, say, send a text;  Couldn't you just send the text first and then enjoy the scenery? 

At least I can laugh (Heartily) when I see videos posted of people walking along, so into their phones that they fall into a fountain... or worse

And IIRC, 1981 BIOSes had a bug limiting them to 544K.

Still impressive from a computer in 1981.

I guess IBM PC is for business use, not for home.

At the time I had an Atari computer with the 48K but playing some great graphical games.   I heard they had 640K which was impressive, but then saw they didn't have near the graphical or sound ability of my Atari and didn't think much more of it.   Just a business machine .... yawn!

Why does Twitter even need a specific set of browsers? Use a <FORM> to send stuff to a server, then return it as part or an HTML document when a browser requests it. Is that too hard?

I also have problems with Atariage on my New 3DS.

It's a different issue.

Atariage always had problems on a 3ds.

I never even owned DOOM on SNES!  It's on my SD2SNES I'm sure and well, back in the day I had a hack (For my Multi Game Hunter, which I still have (2 actually, one for SNES one for Genesis)) called Smurfy (although I think the name was supposed to be SMURFKiller)  where ya killed Smurfs, but I'm pretty sure that was DOOM...Lessee,  could this reply be any more run-on-sentence-y-ish?

Snes doom just sucks,the only thing that stands out is the music,

and since it was only 2MB, and the super fx2 chip only runs at 21mhz, not only did they had to cut corners but the game also runs very choppy and unresponsive,

what they should,ve done was overclock the super fx2 chip to 33 or 40mhz, put the misuc and sound data on a saperate rom chip while putting all graphical and ai data on the super fx2 rom chip, sothat they could,ve had more space left to also have textures for floors & ceiling ,add 3D sprites etc,,, and add an infight in the ai,

i bet that the game would,ve looked,play and sounded much better on snes.

somebody needs to stand up and improve the snes version, why other games wich have only minor issues in wich nobody bothers about do get an improvement treatment,is beyond me.

Agreed.

But at the same time, a better snes doom would cost $100 or closer to a neo-geo game price.

The Atari VCS is a PC (not even that since it doesn't even exist yet)... lol is a PC a game console? And that was not what I was joking about... it's that the VCS is well... a scam...

So where's the keyboard?

All I can see is AtariVCS is included with a joystick.

"Multiplayer", I wonder how that is actually defined? It sounds like it means it requires more than one player, but the games are all "1 to up-to-8" players.

How are the scenes with Chaplin and Keaton performing together?

I remember only the whole plot.

It's also one of my favorite Rush songs.

I heard they had to get the name from Jim Davis, since he originally owned G(arfield)mail.

My Hotmail account is from 97'

Legal age in Kentucky, no?

I have a friend who always just calls it DragonBallz ...

My son got super addicted to Dragon Ball Heroes the arcade game last summer. He wishes they would bring it here to the states but that aint ever happening I think, since the machine distributes cards.

Oh, right. Through that catalog of theirs, but yeah... Electronics Boutique, Software Etc., Babbages, Toys R Us, Sears, Montgomery Ward, and many others all carried and sold the TG-16. TRU even sold the Duo. They closed them out at 199.00 in the mid 90's, but I asked the store manager if they'd be willing to sell me one for $100, and they did! They had one left NIB was all, besides the store display. 

@save2600 Holy Frickin Cow!

Do ya still have it? 

I'd love to go back in time and pick up games like Magical Chase for $69.99!!

No, sold the Duo a long time ago. I now have a briefcase PC Engine with CD-ROM though. And I don't remember seeing Magical Chase sold in stores, only TZD. Bought one from them, along with Air Zonk and Bonk III. For less than $70ea. too!

If Google Stadia is available online only, I pass.

Nintendo did it with pokemon mini available online only.

I like buying consoles from retailers instead.

Urr, Amazon is online shopping.

Most of time what Amazon is selling, we can find the same stuff in stores too.

Like all rules..those enforced selectively or with a blind eye in some cases are no rules at all.   Have rules or don't. 

^ We're as consistent as we can be, when we're aware that there is a problem, but we can't be everywhere at once, and certainly not 24/7.  If anyone sees a problem, use the "Report" feature and we'll follow up on it.

Are those kind of like manuals, because I seem to have trouble reading those things for some reason...  8 book fantasy series.. No prob..  2 page manual to keep from crashing the new drone... Just doesn't seem to work...

Aha, a table model. Here is one from Ontario:

Perhaps that is uncommon for Canada to have small flags so nobody (on eBay) are selling it.

Canadian Tire usually has Canada Flags.  I bought some Canada flags off amazon, I think 12 x 18", I also got two old Dominion Canada flags from Amazon as well.

I tried Canadian Tire. 

Bad luck. They don't have a Canada flag. So I canceled the rest of the orders.

Sam Darnold had mono :(

I downloaded Audacity https://www.fosshub.com/Audacity.html and tried it. It works with some degree of success. 

I will give it another try to get better results.

It's cool to turn mono songs into stereo.

The drawback doing this is the songs lose their charms.

NERO has Wave Editor that has a stereo processor on it that gives a great stereo effect!  "GREEN ONIONS" by Booker T. & The Mgs sounds great! 

The bat can carry you over, or maybe use a bridge to get across.

There is no bat in the game (C64 version).

I completed this section anyway.

It was a joke about 2600 adventure, in the status bar I could not see any image so it was just a response based on the text... which was kind of vague without the image   All in good fun, no worries. FWIW I've always wanted to put more time into Montezuma's Revenge.  I've played it a bit on the Apple 2, but never got very far.

TBH,  it's true that Heathcliff only had a tiny handful of comics that were funny,  yet I still like him...But I think he was supposed to be more like a cartoon character;  Just a cartoon version of a cat, not a reflection of ourselves (doing cartoony things) like Garfield.  While Heathcliff may not be as good or funny as say Woody Woodpecker or The Pink Panther...He's still OK

I like Heathcliff. His material is pretty good and enjoyed the cartoon of him and the gang. One of the most memorable books I ever read growing up was Heathcliff's The Night Before Christmas. Still a fun read after all these years. 

DiC had the best Heathcliff cartoon.

So do Canadians light off fireworks, or what?

YEP !!!!!

Canada is better than America. I should go back there sometime.

Still waiting on him and Zuckerberg to do their nonexistant cage match that Elon backed out of, except he didnt because he had back surgery, and really Zuck is the coward, but he actually can fight but it has to be in Elon's backyard, but really he prefers the idea of a nice dialogue.

I've already eX-ited.

Meanwhile,  I'm just smurfing ZORKing over here!
