  1. 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.

  2. Has anyone here ever, EVER won a game console by buying the right box of cereal bottle of soda?

  3. Limited Run Games to release their one and only Wii U game soon. Wonder what it will be?

  4. The Channel F may not be as good as the Atari VCS in most areas, but it definitely has the better controllers!

  5. Instead of "You got this" it's now "You do you".. Ugh!!

  6. This week's status message poll: "What was your favorite video game when you were 10 years old?"

      I suppose Sonic? I didn't get good & properly into gaming until I was 12.

  7. Hate selling limited edition stuff that I can't find a transaction history for on eBay... Am I getting what it's worth? Is this auction going to be how the world determines what it's worth?

  8. got a crazy channel f find today, down to vegas slots and I'll have the complete us library... Now I have a very nice boxed unit and a half dozen carts to sell including bowling and galactic space wars

  9. My retro entertainment center is coming along nicely, but something is still missing... CRT TV? Check. Consoles I grew up with? Check. VCR? Check. Well stocked cupboard full of sugary breakfast cereals? Check. Hmm... by George, I think I've got it! Beanbag chairs and Saturday morning cartoons on VHS tapes! =D

      Excersise extreme caution in obtaining a beanbag chair- becuase their innards are so hard to deal with, most waste disposal AND secondhand shops won't take them. You could be stuck with it forever. On the plus side, it does mean secondhand beanbags can be had for free/cheap on craigslist with ease due to desperate people wanting them to go away.

       

      Check your local removal options before getting one... just in case.

  10. I went to my first convention of any kind this weekend (aside from a couple hours that I briefly wandered into one last year) and holy crap are cons ever exhausting! The most fun I've had all summer for sure, but after 2 days of non-stop panels and activities I am totally wiped out.

  11. Hey PS Vita fans. I'm going to be on the road for about a month and I'd like to take my Vita with me. I need to find the smallest case possible for the original PSV 1000 model Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated!

  12. This afternoon I stumbled on a Baby Pac-Man machine at a local arcade. After playing 2 games of Baby Pac-Man my life will never be the same. Pac-Man AND pinball together in the same machine!? This may be the greatest game ever made.

      I've played this one too- I can't remember if it was at PAX West or Super Smash Games, but I was rather taken with it. Sometimes novelty is more important than looks, and this is nothing if not novel!

  13. What do you do with someone that makes an offer on ebay and then doesn't pay or respond?

  14. i'm a proud gamer husband- Mrs. Digdug is happily playing her new copy of Monster Hunter: Worlds. Although.. I may end up being a widower!

  15. Always get the extended warranty on new TVs. Every one I have owned has blown up. Our new Sony Bravia 65" 4k TV just died (barely 1 year old). Been a month without parts and now Best Buy says we will have to exchange it for something else...sigh. So what new TV should we get that will blow up the second the warranty expires?

  16. This week's status message poll: "Have you ever attempted to collect a complete set of every game released for a system in your region?"

    1. HoshiChiri

      HoshiChiri

      Sort of, but only for systems with really, REALLY tiny libraries... we're talking Channel F and Pokémon Mini here. Haven't done so becuase even these obscure things all have at least one stupid-expensive game in the running, and I'd rather have games I really want.

  17. I have unexpectedly come into possession of a Lynx (two, actually--one of each version). Any tips or game suggestions for a complete and total Lynx n00b?

  18. So you're game collector special blessed, You demand retro consoles look their very best. One more to collect from ebay that is special, but I'm telling you chum. Now get yourself ready for some boogers and ___.

      Sega Saturn! I got so close to buying one as a kid, but after my Christmas Nights demo got stolen out of the mail I was too depressed over it to follow through. In retrospect, having a PlayStation through high school was the right call socially... but man was I happy the day I realized I could finally have a Saturn!

      It's taken me a couple days to sort out both time & how to run it all- but I now have a working disc that loads better than my tapes! Thanks for the help... now, to buy more tapes! :)

      Of course I intend to buy the games, I just don't want to wear out the tapes playing them! :) Now... I will have to figure out after work how I open a .7z file... (like I said, I'm bad at this...)

  24. Why do we have a :spidey: emoticon, but no :shrug: emoticon??

  25. Scored a GameCube GBA player for $66 with disc. Never selling that again....lol. At least prices are coming down a hair...

      I remember being worried about what to do with my Gamecube back when I got my Wii. Then I found a GB player at Gamestop & all was well. :)
