    Not really a new variant to add, but I notice the two 32x boxes I own have slightly different backs than you show. The differences I see are (1) different screen shots along the left edge and (2) size of the "Genesis 32X is compatible with all Genesis units except Genesis CDX" at bottom center. My no-pack-in version seems to have the same back as the Cosmic Carnage/Doom box you show, whereas my Virtua Fighter pack-in box has the same back as your $60 off box. Maybe Sega played mix-and-match with the different back designs.

    Seen em all, and most of them more than once. Had to go with Goldfinger as my top. Best song (Shirley Bassey rocks!), first use of the famous opening gambit sequence, best henchman (Oddjob), best bondgirl name (Pussy Galore), best Bond car (Aston Martin), best villain death (fat guy sucked out a tiny jet window). What's not to love?

    Replacement power supplies for old systems are so common I don't think of them as bootlegs.

    I liked World's End, too, but I think you had to be a fan of the other 2 to appreciate it.

    Shaun of the Dead was great fun so got my vote. I also enjoyed Tintin more than I expected and that would have been a runner-up. I'm surprised how many of these I've seen, as it took me a minute to remember who Edgar Wright was. I always think of the Shaun/Hot Fuzz/World's End trio as Simon Pegg movies.

    Came here thinking flexitarian was some sort of religion, kinda like frisbetarian. Confused now.

    I loved it the first time thru, not so much on a second watching, and am unlikely to bother with it again, so I struggled with a rating. Finally settled on 7.

    I'm keeping my fingers crossed that AA survives pretty much as-is. Despite the Atari name, they really are about the only active place for the Intellivision, TI-99, Colecovision, and some other classic systems I have an interest in. Way back when, Atari made games for all those systems but I have a hard time thinking the new Atari wants to spend any money propping up a forum for them.

    Seen about half of these, so that means I've got several to look forward to. Fargo is brilliant so gets the nod. If I were stoned at the moment, it would be Lebowski.

    Although I've seen several of these, I was never a big Carpenter fan. Too many night scenes with lighting so bad that you can't really see what's going on, and I always assumed this was deliberate to cover up the cheap production values. For favorite, I picked Christine mainly because I liked the book. The movie is getting a 40th anniversary theatrical re-release and I just might go to see how poorly it holds up.

    Always happy for a new Preston & Child, but they left me hanging with Cabinet of Dr Leng and I wish they'd finished that story first. Harrumph!

    Real 2600s are still relatively cheap and plentiful, built like tanks, and 100% compatible. Pass.

    He did the animations, and other stuff, for Monty Python, if that helps.

    A personal favorite, with a lot of blink-and-you-miss-it background jokes. Plus a great theme song.

    A great point. The wife and I play a lot of racing games on various systems and she always wants to twist the controller like a steering wheel. The Wiimote w/ wheel (and the Atari 2600) are the only systems on which this works the way she wants it to, without getting out one the big honking steering wheel/pedal systems.

    Personally, I liked the motion controllers and never had any trouble using them. Our local community center still has regular Wii Sports tournaments, great for getting the old folk moving, and I know some titles are used by physical therapists wotking with patients that have coordination and balance issues. These are niche uses, I realize, but valuable in ways systems using conventional controls aren't. From a gaming or collecting standpoint, the library is too big and too full of shovelware, but it makes a dandy emulator for older stuff.

    I always think of CIB meaning cartridge + instructions + box, different from Complete which is CIB + inserts.

    I remember buying one of those when they came out. Why didn't they all sell?

    7/10. Good not great pretty much sums it up.
  20. nrslam
    Agreed, I've always been treated well there. Maybe you just ran into someone (like me) who doesn't like to sell. We do exist.

    Inglourious Basterds for me, as it's the only one I watched twice. The others I've seen are good, but I've missed a bunch as the Mrs doesn't really like his style.

    I stopped buying online in part because ebay no longer makes any effort to police counterfeiting, so I just assume any game I see there is fake. On the other hand, since I buy everything locally now, I don't worry about fakes at all. I've actually seen a few at yard sales, but even if I fall for them, I'm out a buck, not $hundreds.

    What did it use for storage? Memory cards? A computer OS is pretty useless without some kind of storage.

    I've seen them all, and picked Spiderman No Way Home as my favorite, mainly because I loved the reappearance of previous Spidermen and thier villians. On a different day, I could have picked any one of several others. Overall, having grown up reading the Silver Age comics, the Phase I movies resonate the best with me. It's funny you didn't even mention Antman Quantumania, even with the 30 movie limit, as its easily the worst MCU movie.

    Lots of cats like the smell of feet, and will treat a sweaty sock like catnip. Mine wraps himself around my feet while I sleep.
