  1. Can they make mainstream TV any more loud and dumb than it already is?

      I wanted to work again in the broadcast industry (streaming) but that would make me responsible of delivering crap...

  2. If an Atari 2600 game needs more than ½k, it shouldn't be made. Inefficient programmers will want to bloat the code up to as high as 2k, but that just shows their lack of skill and talent.

  3. Nintendo DRM: - new console - have to buy entire library again - oh some games will never be rereleased - $20 equates to some prime number of points - always have 200 points left over

  4. I have this crazy idea that I'm going to burn OS/2 install CDs and install to an old PC and then get it connected to my home network. I'm crazy or drunk!

  5. 20-100 gig downloads and patches? Have game developers gone bonkers? That was the size of a desktop computers entire hard drive not too long ago, and many consoles are still only 500gb. When does the madness end, and what's next?

  6. Going to read a 20 year old floppy with software that can't be found on the internet anymore.

  8. Does anyone else still prefer it when portable devices use AA batteries rather than built in rechargeable battery packs? With AA batteries I can just pop in a fresh set of rechargeable AAs whenever the device runs dry, whereas with built in packs I have to plug it into the wall and wait an hour before I can use it again.

      @Jin, maybe a powerbank could solve your problem?

  9. I love how it's virtually impossible to use the web with non-free java script disabled. The web is terrible now

  10. Listening to Solaris' soundtrack. I love listening to soundtracks, Moon, Lotr, SW the Force Awakens, the Adjustment Bureau, Tron, Face/Off, Fifth Element. Any tips?

  11. I code or make hardware in my spare time, because my job as a solutions architect is anything but... a soul drain. fml.

  12. Just discovered that my ps4 doesn't play audio cd's. Seriously Sony!? I get it that 99% of the population has abondoned the format, but still seems like a failure for a supposed "all in one" media box. Fired up the good ole ps1 and all is well now. Hmmm I think we might be going backwards.

  13. The main problem with assembly is organising stuff. Or maybe I'm just not good at it...

  15. Dang! It's been almost 5 years, since I was last active here. A tremendous amount of significant events have occurred since then. I feel like it will take a year to catch up! I'm particularly curious about the Coleco drama! Oye!

  16. I think Sony has an OLED tv where the screen surface is the surface of the speaker! WTF? But at the same time interesting..

  17. Working hard to type out the strange sounds rumbling in my head.

  18. The Legend of Zelda celebrates its birthday today!

  19. Wow, midnight here (4:54am) = Rush hour on atariage!

  20. Call me crazy, but I have a feeling the Switch is going to tank even harder than the Wii U. Is there really a market for awkward under-powered tablet consoles? I guess we will find out soon.

      It has annoying motion games so it will succeed.

  21. Going to upgrade Ballblazer from 4K to 16K. What was that 'Bankswitching' thing? :D
