  1. What was the shittiest AA thread of 2017?

      It was that other Ataribox thread. The one that only got up to a paltry 23 pages. Not a single mention of a taco anywhere.

    3. GoldLeader

      I'd rather read 6 pages of Tacos and Atari stock prices, or watch the missteps of a Coleco Expo, than think about all the celebrities (including musicians) who have died.

      Not bad VectorGamer!! When was the last time someone had 28 comments? Eh? Hehaaa I just made it 29 ;)

  2. I think I convinced a friend of mine to stop wasting his money on vinyl. He discovered Spotify and now he play his favorite music wherever instead of listening to vinyl in the confines of his basement.

      Crap, I'm late! HOPE HE ENJOYS NOT ACTUALLY OWNING ANYTHING! Also, nice play with that tedious "basement" stereotype.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      Yeah Give me all that delicious vinyl now that he can stream his pants off!

      And I'm not talkin' bout Spotify.

  3. Is it me or are the AA forums not as active as they were when I signed up back in 2009?

      I don't know if the forums overall are less active, but I'm less active in the forums than I used to be. It's a lot of "been there, done that". I'll go for weeks without checking the 2600 forum index.

      The thing to watch for is the amps, they have extended life batteries. Most of my Kobalt batteries are 2.0 - 2.5 ah (amp hours?), but I have one that is 5.0 ah and it will last almost a 30 minutes in the mower.

    3. Cobra Kai

      I will say too, with any electric you really need to keep up on your grass more often anyway. Heavy grass will drain your batteries easier obviously, just something to think about.

    4. Hydro Thunder

      Hydro Thunder

      True all of dat! I have a very large yard, but a 2-car garage with 2 cars, no space for a rider at the moment. :P And yes the Kobalts now have 2.5 mah, mine has 2.0, either is too little. The Ego I got (yes I have two now :P) is 7.5 ah.

      I don’t believe the queen’s husband is a prince necessarily. I believe he is technically referred to as the queen’s consort.

      He may be a prince of somewhere else.

      He was born the prince of Greece and Denmark, not the UK.

      I think Disney has kinda blown it myself. Young Co-Worker of mine rented TLJ and was not impressed, said it lacked a plot.

      It must've lacked a plot cuz I had no idea what was going on

      DVDFab, IMGBurn with AnyDVD, and plain old analouge copying (EG: VHS, Beta)

      Maybe transfer to another digital format(D-VHS, DV, ect)?

      i use Discord to talk with my wife and kids while I'm at work or away on Business- i'd be cool with some kind of AA hook if I could use my existing discord account.

  18. I wore my Atari Football t-shirt yesterday. At dinner, my waiter said it was a cool shirt and we started talking retrogaming. Eventually he mentioned Mike Kennedy and the Coleco Chameleon. LMFFAO!!!

      If Mike was really the waiter, the dinner would have been late, and he would have said that he delayed it to make it even better.

       

      ... and if VectorGamer questioned him, he would have called him a hating hater, filled with hatred and hate.

      If the waiter was Kennedy, then he'd bring a plate of liver and onions covered up with a Jaguar shell.
