Cobra Kai

I'm gonna go with not-a-mullet. It looks like he's had it short and he's just starting to grow it out.

Interesting answers. I've had the same confusion about Mel Gibson's Lethal Weapon 'do. Not sure if it's a mullet or big hair. Now, Van Damme in Hard Target, that's a mullet!

I keep telling my wife that I'm going to have a mullet one of these days.  She said the only way you're going to have that is if you buy a time travelling DeLorean.

For me, I am getting tired of dew points in the 70's. We maybe get one day of relief and then it shoots right back up to sauna mode.

Ummmm...MAGIC?

Nice to hear.  Generally, I hear nothing but negative comments about it.  I loved it at launch, and have played through it multiple times over the years.

To tell you guys the truth, I have gotten sick and tired of all the flak towards it. Especially when there are worse games made in the past ten years that would make even Maddox and Tom Fulp want to apologize towards it.

It's certainly a rather relaxed game when you play it, I never feel rushed. Kind of just take your time and figure out the puzzles, and move on. The auto-targeting works really well, and my biggest complaint would be the shoddy camera, which is usual for N64 titles, so it's not like CV64 stands out negatively in that regard either.

What's worse with the bloated menus is the switch to friggen animated TV menu boards with videos and all the stuff moving around, just show the damn menu!

Yeah, it was a Taco Bell TacoBurger type deal (Pretty good, on occasion back when I ate meat)...It was on the menu from the 70's til I think the 90's (?) actually.

It is kind of funny, last night at Taco John's drive thru, after ordering Potato Oles, with a side of Nacho Cheese, of course, and a burrito, I asked for Pintos and Cheese, then the gal said "A side of beans?" And I said Yes, then I couldn't remember if it was Taco John's or Taco Bell that always called it Pintos and Cheese, and most side items were nowhere to be found on the menu...And a big sign outside the menu said, All of our combo #s have changed.  Not sure why, but OK, and then she said, I don't know, things change pretty fast around here.  I do know since COVID that Taco John's also had frozen TJ Burritos that you could buy and cook at home later, but I didn't see those on the menu either...

Sounds yummy if you ask me (even though I’d at best be able to get half of of down my throat).

That sounds like the recipe for a heart attack old friend. 

Great film!

Ziggy Piggy!

Strange things are afoot at the Circle K.

It seems to me the only thing you've learned is that Caesar is a "salad dressing dude."

only reasonable response is to go, let us know how the giant frogs were.

This place?

That has to be it! Granger, IN is only 20 minutes from my house. That looks cool, it must be really new.

Yeah, so if a National Holiday happens to land on a weekend, most businesses are required to provide a paid day off to compensate. Businesses don't get to cheat you out holiday pay because of the 'luck of the draw' on their part.

Aha! That is not the case over here. We have "employees' years" where most holidays happen on weekdays, and "employers' years" where many of those happen on weekends. In the end it is thought that this evens out.

Husband: "Was that fireworks or gunshots?"

Wife: "Stick your head out the front door and find out."

[BLAM]

Wife: "I didn't like him anyway."

Or you could take the Haribo sugar-free gummy bear challenge and eat 5 pounds of gummy bears and your butt will feel like Mount St. Helens exploding in no time.

For room clearing results, have Bass Ale and Spam the same day.  Random, but yeah, that happened once in the college dorms.

Two cans of Chef Boyardee ravioli's and about half a box of Golden Grahams cereal. OMG!

I've got their two volumes of Sega Arcade Classics. I did spot a couple of errors, but for the most part they're excellent and I learned from them. I definitely want to get some more of their books.

Knowing your movie tastes, I'm pretty sure you will like it. I did. The direct to video sequels are worth watching as well.

I like great 80's and 90's action movies myself, the less CGI the better.  AND i like TERRIBLE 80's and 90's action movies too if they are just bad enough to be good (if you know what i mean.)  

Watched it tonight. I definitely liked it, and found out it was directed by Walter Hill as well, so that's another plus. He always makes films with a bunch of machismo, so this fits that profile for sure. It was kind of filmed semi-documentary style, and I felt like something was missing when nearing the end fight. I was surprised that the fight was just played straight up with no plot twists, so when it was all over I kept waiting for something big to happen, like a murder or something. I mean, it's in a prison full of vicious criminals. Pretty good movie though, and Ving Rhames as a villain was a bit different. Snipes was outstanding, easily the best actor in the movie.

Just jumping on a conversation with an obvious Activision fan...

I see both ways, on what you are thinking-I love having nice, newish looking carts(Speaking Activision, particularly), but I also appreciate the vintage look of the Actiplaque, in a way.

I'm collecting the loose carts, and the CIB's(got loose Rampage and Double Dragon today...43/44...need Beamrider...good luck to me...).

I guess I tend to keep the nicer looking one in the CIB, and the more plaqued version "on display" loose.

Anyway-new Activision adventure, happening actively-

I suppose I was the catalyst for bringing this together, tho I jumped on someone here's existing idea(we are working together!), and another Friend here did the graphic design(lol, my "idea", but the sketch was caveman style...). So is a group effort.

First public display!

Being produced now, not looking for sales or anything, just "showing off", ha-not sure what the "sales arrangement" will be with me and Mass, the other producer, but I'm easy to work with, don't much care about $ or anything.

There is another actively coming, but this one is more "my baby", so I am comfortable disclosing it, I'll leave the other to him, seems fair!

Why Checkers?

Man, that's a LOOONG story, and you just saw how bad my "regular" stories can be...

had some today

Oh, playing loaded is DEFINITELY the way to go!!!

Oh...wait...

Sorry, I read closer. Nevermind.

Lol agree.  When a roommate and I went in on a PSX back in the day, Loaded was one of our first games.  He described it as "for the first five minutes, it's the greatest game you've ever played in your life.  Then, like immediately, it becomes tedious and a bore."  

Some things don't age well, eh?  Loaded was one of the first PlayStation games I  bought in '96 and I showed it off to a friend and he couldn't believe the graphics and violence/gore, (Remember we'd all just stepped up from SNES) and he said "This is the Greatest game ever!"

I wonder if I still have it?  My long boxes are wedged in behind PS2 games on the lowest shelf...It might be there, somewhere around Twisted Metal, Viewpoint, or Skeleton Warriors...

In my early twenties I was a flatland BMX trickster. I can't pull that stuff off anymore, but a 'drift trike'? Yeah, that's definitely more my speed in my mid-40's. That thing is cool looking too, I had no idea they made big wheels for adults. Having a big wheel was one of the best things about childhood for me.

I have 8mn film of me and my little bro riding these... in the 70's. Green Machine they were called.  Lmao

Interesting...Not what I expected.  I saw this commercial a while back where a guy is rapping and his whole crew are riding these gold big wheel trikes...Thought maybe it was gonna be those, but they seem to have been custom made for the commercial...They had higher/bigger seats and bigger back wheels and looked metal, not plastic...I wish they made those!  I couldn't find those for sale...

One 5mg Melatonin tablet about 30 minutes before going to bed does it for me every time.

Maybe you're taking too high a dose if you're feeling bad the next day.

My advice is take one Tylenol PM or Sleep Aid pill (just the diphenhydramine) plus one quarter (or up to a half) tab of melatonin, about an hour and a half before bedtime...Fine if it kicks in earlier...I don't overdo the melatonin because you may sleep so deep, that to wake up, your body gives you a nightmare (not everyone has this issue)...Then of course, drink coffee to focus the mind when you wake up !  Best of luck!

I think I'm through the insomnia episode. I was worrying about falling asleep, and that perpetuated the anxiety about it. So, I finally came to peace with the fact that I just might not fall asleep quickly. Started watching When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth (1970) and fell asleep before it was over, and had a normal night. Didn't even take any melatonin. Here's to hoping it was just a phase.

Doesn't appear to be!

Sort of... remember such a thread or three. Started out talking about decks and stair steps I think. Another talking about roof repair too.

Here's one talking about basements and hot tubs:

Iceman did a lot of DIY stuff, as does jd_1138 and 82-T/A. Look up some of their posts...

Sounds interesting, especially considering Diablo III.

Nice ..., talent festival there.
