  1. Just remembered that I had jury duty on Jan 28. Yeaaa...

  2. Is anyone else on AA a furry?

  3. If anybody's local Gamestop still carries the Disc Skip Fixer fluid, maybe get a bottle or two for me? It's being clearanced out & my stores have long since stopped carrying it. I'd love to stock up a bit!

  5. My wife and I just adopted two new kittens from the local rescue agency. After 18 years with our kitty "Puppy," I had forgotten what it was like to have a kitten in the house. :)

      So- what do your hands feel like? Our Ides was a bit of a terror in his youth, my hands stung constantly from lil' scratches.

  6. Soulja boy's console follies was lampooned on SNL. Time to pack it up, it's gone mainstream.

  7. Bought an Amazon wherehouse copy of Gravity Rush Remastered, hoping it would came in-case... it did! my $40 gamble paid off!

  8. Ever get so tired of having telemarketers call your house that one day, you actually do pick up the phone and start ordering a pizza or my favorite..."Graveside Mortuary. How may I assist?"

      I have witnessed:

       

      -my sister yell at them for waking the baby (she was already awake)

      -my fiancé answer in Spanish, then switch to German when they put the Spanish operator on

      -an amazing online recording of a guy pretending to be a detective at a murder scene, & start grilling the operator over who he was and how he knew the deceased.

  9. I opened up a 2600 at my local game store, and not only was the inside coated with 20 year old soda, there was also a small picture of a woman, mugshot style, dated 03 AUG 1992. What's the weirdest thing you've found in a console?

  10. Bought this to help organize my office and game room. Every controller, cable, and AC adapter has one of these now. I feel accomplished. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001E1Y5O6

  11. People seem to have a seething hatred for GameStop's retro selection. Sure you can't see it like on eBay but if you just expect cart/disc only, who cares? Their prices are good for loose games.

      I agree- people have a seething hatred for Gamestop in general, but I honestly think they provide an important & valuable service for gaming culture- they create an anchor point, a baseline for value. This, in turn, can help keep 3rd party sellers from over-inflating prices while imposing a minimum quality standard. A seller who wants better than GS prices needs to prove they have better than GS quality.

  12. I ate an entire loaf of garlic bread for dinner tonight. I have no regrets...

  13. 15% off coupon on Ebay. Today (12/28) until 6PM Pacific. Use code POPUPSAVINGS

      This popped up literally an hour after I'd placed an Ebay order. Rather annoyed there... but I did buy Beamrider with it, so it's not all bad.

  14. It doesn't look like I'll have much of a comic circus. Officially the SCV game has been stuck at customs for 3 weeks though I believe it has been lost along the way but nobody is willing to admit it.

  15. Went to the movies today and saw the trailer for the new live-action Battle Angel movie, and I'm like WTF? What's the point in using cgi to make her eyes bigger?

  16. It's not everyday Ebay has a 15% off coupon during a bonus bucks promo. Which makes seeing my order cancelled becuase 'his wife misplaced the box' REALLY frustrating! ><

  18. That feeling when you've been struggling to make it more than a few levels into a game since you were a kid, then your significant other sits down and beats the whole game on their second try... and gets the good ending... and does it all while slightly drunk. Love, pride, and a little shame.

  19. What do you spend per month on video games? I started keeping track and was surprised to see it's $200-$400 on any given month.

  20. Amazing ebay actually did something good for sellers, you can now send offers to watchers.

  21. Baby shark do do do do do do baby shark do do do do do do baby shark!

      My niece loves that stupid song. On the plus side, having it in my YouTube history along with my other choices in music spat this version out as a recommendation:

  22. I want to win a free XBone X; the question is, how many Chalupa's am I willing to eat to get one?

  23. I bought a plug n' play at a thrift store that had leaky batteries in it- what's the best way to clean the corrosion? Perferably without dissassembling the unit- I'm unsure of my ability to reassemble it.

      Update: The unit is working!

       

      After reading your suggestions, I checked the cabinets- and we didn't have baking soda, vinegar, peroxide, or even Pepsi on hand... but I did find some lemon juice! So I used that (plus an alcohol swab after to clean up any residual sugars). A couple of the terminals are now rust brown from corrosion, so I don't have high hopes for long term use- but it turned right on & worked fine with some fresh batteries! If I ever learn to s...

      Thanks for the tips, Keatah- if it doesn't work after cleaning the contacts, I'll check out the inside (since I won't have anything to lose at that point.)
