Definitely. I care about some of the people involved enough that I want it to do well for their sake, so it's actually a little personal. But I also selfishly want a new swim around and look at fish game(s) so I have something to kill time with other than replaying Abzu for the gazillionth time. I haven't preordered and don't intend to, because I plan to get the purple console after it's no longer exclusive to Gamestop. I have a different store I prefer to throw my money at. Short version: Yeah, but in my usual filthy casual gamer sorta way.

DIBS.

I went to PRGE a couple years ago and will go again. A few small things in the LA area a friend was selling games at. And I've been to a handful of things working in a booth. The pinball museum in Banning was hands down the best, and after they finish moving and the plague lets up I'd like to go as an attendee.

The accessories tab is hideously inaccurate because I *still* haven't gotten round to taking stock of what I have. All the games for each system are up to date tho. Dunno how many it adds up to. Best not to think about it. ? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dVH_z-5gN-lQ8lyHxAzVLW7M2Pgx_kBL19ed_KGCY7Q/edit?usp=drivesdk

Way to get my hopes up, then so cruelly dash them. ?

I blame comic collectors. Nobody cared about first print runs and left bro Mario or whatever until a few years ago.

A couple of the expensive ones don't seem expensive enough. I'm definitely going the loose cart route when I get to that point.

I just double checked my put away pile to make sure I'm not crazy, but the post office apparently hates me too. No sign of my copy yet. But if other people are still getting theirs I'm not going to sweat it just yet.

Oh frick, I'm gonna be broke as a joke.

I got a Sears Checkers for $11 shipped on Craigslist once, but I've never been so lucky with Facebook. It's all modded Xboxes and common games.

Also to authentic German Haribo!

I wasn't going to be able to go this year, so another virtual expo is better for purely selfish reasons. Still, I look forward to grossly overspending on games I'll never play again someday.

I haven't bought any of the Sean Kelly overlays myself, but people seem to like them a lot and I really like the multicart I have. http://www.vectrexmulti.com/order2.html

Has the Inty color palette been published anywhere? We couldn't find anything in the archives when we looked a couple years ago, and I've wondered about it since. Random trivia: Before the intellivision office moved out of the Irvine location, I was passively looking for a Sony Trinitron TV because one of the guys was also passively interested in documenting it, and since they used to use them at Mattel he figured it would be the most accurate way. Never did find one for a good price. Ah well.

Intarivisions did an episode comparing them. If I remember right, Intellivision's wasn't as well liked by any of them. https://www.stitcher.com/show/intarivisions/episode/episode-20-fathom-58612135

Well, there's my problem! Maybe I should try my Inty version later and see if I'm as terrible as I remember. ? I thought I had a few videos, but this was the only one I could find. I'm two phones past this, and this was the only one I had backed up.

I was probably playing one handed and holding my phone, I don't actually remember. I do remember being giddy about being getting to play them. ? But I will vouch that it's playable and didn't freeze or glitch out.

In case the video doesn't play, a Google Drive link. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ZJ6xhchnEAXkC2CaDubqF65FqHKkyFtd/view?usp=drivesdk

I apparently stink at this game as much on Coleco as Intellivision and can't get to Skeletor, but I helped test the ROMS last year and Steve said it's okay to post the video. If nothing else, it shows the very beginning and that the sound works. 20190706_124239.mp4

1. AD&D 2. Frog Bog 3. Astrosmash 4. Sewer Sam 5. Pitfall 6. Frogger 7. Word Fun (Don't judge, it's fun.) 8. Beauty & the Beast 9. Shark Shark 10. Swords & Serpents Honorable mention for Fathom. It's not a very good game and it's hard af, but I still like it.

omg, you filthy hipster.

I'll do it later this evening. ?

Is it at all useful to make a Facebook event and post it in the groups? There are a lot of members, although I don't know how many are more active there than here.

I'm going to be hung up on how dreamy the Haribo outlet is for the next week or two, at least.

There are sour bats out this year for Halloween, I'm sad i can't bring you any.
