I literally do not know anyone who watches new episodes of The Simpson’s nor have I met someone who’s said they watch it when the show comes up in discussion. Time periods may very from person to person but people seem to be interested in their version of “classic” episodes. It’s made me wonder, what demographic is keeping this show going? I mean, so can’t even make the complaints you guys are making about anything less than 20 years old because I think the last episode I watched as it aired might have been around 2003-05. I guess people in other countries keep paying the bills? It’s just one of those shows that won’t go away and I sure don’t know who’s keeping it alive?

Yeah, I mean, good luck to @GamerSmith548 but he's tackling 3x systems-- NES, SNES and GB. I hope this is a life long quest because I'm pretty sure that's what it's going to take to 100% well over 2,000 games. But I'd say it's not impossible, if he has the skillz and the dedication. I'm personally in the idea of something like this but it'd probably take me the rest of my life to 100% just the N64 library (singled out for it's size) cause of how bad I suck at games. Regardless, if he just does it to enjoy the ride, I think he can get far! I'll be watching/reading the whole time.

I played this game a lot as a kid and never noticed there was a score.

Bump… no guesses? I’ll post an expanded image later tonight.

I wasn’t. Lol.

Part of this is getting into the etiquette of soft-sales and the unspoken but established rules go all the way back to the days of classifieds. When it comes to buying that stuff (e.g. Facebook local lots, Offer Up, Craigslist, newspaper classifieds), the rule has always been, in my observance that it’s first come, first serve. Now, if someone shows a lot, agrees to a price, and then they sell an item or two to someone else, it’s their duty to inform you that parts were sold before your pick up, and it’s customary to either counter with a cheaper price, or ask the buyer if they are still interested in working something out. It sucks, but there’s nothing wrong with that as it kind of falls in that first-come-first-serve jurisdiction. But, if this was an eBay thing and someone showed a lot of 100 NES games with a Samson or Dino Peak in there, and you get the lot and they are NOT in there, then that is fraud. It’s false advertising and lying. Even if the lot was a good deal otherwise and I needed 75% of the carts in the lot, I’d want a full refund and for it to be shipped back at the owners expense. It’s not about being bitter or getting back at them. It’s just that if you’re going to try to pull something like that, you don’t deserve my business and, hopefully, loosing money on the sale will teach them a lesson.

Bump… @DefaultGen I’m going to call you out on this because you’re the one to most likely anything about this but have you heard of, or familiar with this Myst disk? I have this coming my way soon.

“The Long Pig” …well not Jewish and Muslims, even if they are welcome.

I feel like in the 80s and 90d when we felt like nuking stuff was a good idea, the quality of these must have went way down hill. Rarely, I’d get something like this at my grand parents house. I always enjoyed the novelty (and I’d even ask to have these for dinner some time) but they weren’t good back then. Now, the science behind it has gotten a lot better, I think, and so has the quality. It’s been a long time since I had anything like this but maybe 10 years ago, there were some Cafe Steamers (I think that’s what they were called) that were actually quite nice. I think my favorite was a chicken plate on a bed or orzo? Anyway, I have never had a bake-in-the-oven ready-made meal like this. I’m kind of intrigued.

Dude was that OG $1.5m a reseal???? I know you are joking about buying it but was that part of the schtick real?

It’s honestly worth watching. It was produced by Peter Jackson and I mean that as a good thing (considering he rather hit or miss.)

Now that sent a string of other thoughts… Sling Blade Million Dollar Baby (though I ended up feeling more enraged at her family than sad.) District 9 My gosh, I had NO idea what District 9 was about going in but when it became immediately clear it was an allegory to the apartheid, I was gut-wrenched the entire time because I had noooo clue how they were going to end that frill, whether on a happy or sad note. Speaking of, @Reed Rothchild, I recommend that one for a movie debate/discussion. That was a really good film, but I could only watch it once.

Yeah, I almost mentioned Life Is Beautiful. That’s a good film. I bought the DVD when I bought my first DVD player after college. I’ve not watched it in years, though.

Man, that IS beautiful.

No.

Ok, for this one, I’m gonna need a Game + Console.

That’s Android on Epic Pinball.

I've heard this so much, and this is the only reason I really, really want to pick up a copy of this game and play it. I'm also not into Basketball games, but man, NBA Jam was amazing. I've heard this Blitz is the NBA Jam of Football, so I really need to do myself a favor and give this a try some time.

Yes, I had messaged the seller and told him that whatever he did, don't take any offers and let it ride. I knew more people were looking for this thing than just me and typically when any new one of these jackets has popped up, they've sold fast. I think this is a record, but I could be wrong. I don't log these numbers but IIRC, the last one I saw was a couple of years ago with a BIN and it was set at $2,500. Possibly lower.

I've looooong heard people say the saddest move is "Grave of the Fireflies" and it's been on my personal To Watch list for years. Yeah... I just started it and I'm two minutes in... this one's gonna be tough to watch. I'm already getting a bit choked up.

As someone who loves the game he's about to mention, this game is far more 3D than a game like Final Fantasy VII... or VIII... or IX.

I'm pretty sure #3 is either for the Game Gear and/or SMS. That's all I got.

Well, I think that's why Nintendo has made these types of games temporary. The Pac-Man one, the SMB 1, and now this are all short-term products because Nintendo understands that interest is going to be a flash-in-the-pan thing. I thought it was cool and kind of wanted to play it a bit more than I did but it doesn't surprise me that it's fizzled. People are only willing to play so much F-Zero constantly.

Maybe “sad” isn’t the right word but, man, we all know that Schindler’s List is pretty powerful. Good storytellers are definitely capable of pulling all emotions out of us, including sadness, but in my opinion nothings worse than a true story that addresses something very real and tragic.

Yeah, you can add 3x questions and then for each one add answers. I’ve done it before and I don’t think the answer count limit is spread across all of your questions for your one new thread.
