Nope, that's a Bases Loaded board.   

Gun Nac chips would have NES-XG

I think @GameboyRicky might still have the banner?

Smaller by the day.  I've already turned a corner mentally with my collection as I approach 40 in the near future and know I don't want to take it all with me.

I hear ya. Finally started listing the collection last week. Was really weird when I shipped the first game, now I’m obsessed with getting rid of nearly everything. Would probably be different if I still had a nice room to display it. 

Mine was a combination of not really having anywhere to display it, not playing 99% of it, not wanting to burden anyone else with getting rid of it, and figured I may as well let other people enjoy it.   The official start of the cleanout was breaking up my Atari 2600 stuff, then followed with selling almost all of my TurboGrafx/PC Engine, Sega Saturn/CD, a large amount of NES/SNES, and most of my Atari 7800 stuff.   

Still have a lot to sell off Atari-wise.   Going to be going through consoles next.

Didn't Ghost do a cover of Stay?

Wow! Don't think I've ever seen that pocket arcade before. Any story how he came by these?

lol it’s literally in the post dude

I think he meant how they came to be in the garage.

The Yakuza series and Lost Judgment games all have great stories, you'll just need to read subtitles in the Yakuza ones.

Ya I was only in for the nfs most wanted with the rest being a flip to get it for free. 

I wish Josie Maran would sign at Comic Cons or something so I could get mine autographed

About a month ago, the dairy/frozen manager moved to receiving and they offered me her position. I took the job of course and it was going fantastic. Welp…. The fucking power went out 2 Fridays ago and stayed out for 16 hours. It completely wiped out my department. I’ve been so behind ever since. Anyhow, everyone from all the other departments put all their shit on hold to help me recover. They offered me as much OT as I wanted and I am now almost caught up. Maybe another week.

I'm shocked that stores don't have generators to keep the freezer/coolers going.  I know there's insurance, but still.   

Alternate between this and the first one while wrapping Christmas presents

I think you're safe on this one.

I still have my Rollergames pinball!   

The new Guns N Roses was pretty fun.  I have the PS4 pinball games to scratch the itch on other awesome tables.

Last time I went, it was $20 for a double cheeseburger combo.  Sure it was good, but it wasn't McRib good.  That's sit down restaurant money, not fast food burger money.

The trick is to eat $20 worth of peanuts while you wait.

Just saw something that the IRS is holding off on the $600 threshold for another year and may do a $5000 cutoff in 2025 before dropping lower to “ease” people into it. 

My guess is they see what’s happening with the shitshow that is the student loans starting back up and can see the writing on the wall that sending out an additional 40million tax forms (a random estimate I read) would cripple their ability to handle things and really clog up the works

Woohoo!

Here's an odd one.  Unsportsmanlike conduct was called on every player in the stadium, which placed everyone one away from being ejected (which ended up being the case for multiple players).

I've never heard of something like that.

I have; there was at least one other college game where they had a huge pre-game scuffle and every player from both teams got an unsportmanlike for it to hopefully curb shenanigans during the game.

I'd definitely choose a TurboGrafx-16 Mini as my "one console for eternity" since it has a killer preloaded game library. But that's probably not in the spirit of the question haha.

Otherwise - anyone know if there's a console with a good Atari / classic Arcade anthology disc and a good joystick controller? Because that would probably be my "proper" choice.

[T-Pac]

Have you had a chance to check out Atari 50 yet (out for various consoles, but my Secret Santa got me the Switch one last year and I absolutely love it)?

Oh god that Joel thread lmfao

Didn't someone find him on facebook and try to get him to come back a few times?

Even after the CandyGrip debacle, I did run into him in a Facebook VG auction group

As you already pointed out it seems that everyone on the professional side is eager to declare it an accident, but anyone who can cite visible evidence from the video to indicate a clear accident probably should.  

If you want to see a complete accident, look up Richard Zednik.

The falcon you drew for me would be awesome.

Thank you!

Yep, this one's my fault!

Both very good points.  But doesn't the latter indicate the importance of being able to treat this kind of injury on the spot?  Once again, it's just my opinion but it seems to me that sports teams/ their owners have more than enough money to hire an appropriate individual, hell, a fleet of appropriate individuals to bring the operating room conditions right to the sideline where they know injuries are going to take place.  It would be a benefit to any injured player to be able to get immediate treatment.  But it's probably a moot point at this point anyway since people with money tend to want to hang onto it and I read something somewhere about neck guards instantly being made a new requirement...

They already have an onsite oral surgeon and several medical personnel at every NHL game, and several lives have already been saved by having those personnel.

Like Jesse said, with how deep this one was they could have had a surgical team there and he wouldn't have even made it to the table before he died.

There's some new Funko ornaments at Walmart as well; snagged a Creeper.

Kentucky just steals all of Cincinnati's cool stuff. They don't even have any pro sports teams of their own even though UK's basketball team probably has a higher payroll than the Bengals and Reds combined.

Well, Cincy did steal Kentucky's airport.
