The first barrier for me is finding some way to actually play the game.

Currently have no internet (am posting from my phone). 

Man, take the first bus to Quebec City, you can play on my NES. I'll feed you too, from times to times.

On another note, the tournament gave me the opportunity to use the site calendar for the first time, boy do I feel special right now!

Fixed the obvious mistake

It depends if you're on Santa's Naughty List or not.

Hey my dude. I mean I've been quiet as of late but I still lurk once in awhile.

Are you running the NES comp here on VGS?

Yes we do, check the site-run event! End year tournament is starting shortly, but weekly competition will restart in February 2020.

On topic : You got a totally killer N64 setup man, congrats on the complete N64 CIB set, that's a massive collecting achievement!

Yeah nice kids BriGuy, are they any good at video games like their old man?

Yeah, I didn’t realize quite how good he was until I watched him break a game I thought I was pretty good at, Burger Time.  

I totally remember this one, he just raped the game while we were trying to 'play' it, lol.

The game = every damn NES games

The guy = Tom Votava

Thanks @Gloves for introducing me to Photopea!

Awesome Tonya, I totally love this! I remember you made some great ones too in the past, so feel free to make more if you want, and we'll make them all available in a nice thread setup

Thanks a bunch for helping us

Acromite and I were chatting about porting over the Atari High Scores table from NA. Maybe this could go in the official contests section so it doesn't get buried?

Reviving it on here would be a good idea. You guys have all the tables in files? You can pm me about it

Oh Doug, stop acting like a little shocked virgin, you know you want some too

You could bend my controller any day.

Hmmm, very tempting, we could also gently waggle our joysticks, and share together a gaming achievement

The later levels in QBert would also be up there, right?

In the same line, the Clu Clu Land stages when the coins start to flip over when you pass through them. Just like the later stages of Q-Bert, this totally quadruple the difficulty of the game all of a sudden.

Congrats! I'm still going on 6+ years trying to finish the set lol

Man, glad to see you posting on here! It is awesome to see all these familiar NA faces popping up every day on VGS!

Enjoy your stay, and get back to the NES weekly competition when you have some time

Interesting poll so far, we have 29

 persons who think that cheat devices are used for cheating, and we have 4 persons that are...

You might want to check out Golf Story, if you like golf games naturally (since you're so old, you should like golf, right?). Nice indie game, easy to to get into, some simple golf mechanics with RPG elements (quite unique in that sense), good pace between main and side quests, chillin music. Also welcome

CLU CLU LAND, MATTE STICKER SEAL TEST MARKET, HANGTAB (NES) WATA 5.0

That one is kinda tempting, I mean, there's a tear on the box, but it's barely noticeable.

Dr. Robbie, aka first NES weekly contest champion, is in the house!

Awesome gaming room man, all you need to do to enhance it is to trash that Crosby standee

I think most of the ones I've met haven't migrated here. @Nightowljrm, @Megamanfan@SoleGoose @K3VBOT etc. etc.

 

Tonya, all these have joined VGS , SoleGoose is in the Staff (Homebrew) and Nightowl is posting regularly. Andy and Kev have been quiet so far though.

Not a single one Popeyes in my province

But good news, the KFC restaurants are almost all closed out. Actually, the one near my house closed no later than Yesterday. I hope something better open up in that place.

It all boiled down to the definition of cheating. Cheating is about dishonesty, so if you use a 'cheating devices' in order to be dishonest, then yes you're cheating. If you're using a cheating devices and you're being honest about it, you're not cheating anyone, you just gives yourself arbitrary advantages over an informal object (a video game). You can't claim you beat the game legit afterward (dishonesty), but if you say 'I beat it with this and that cheat codes', you're not really being dishonest.

If you mod a game to be more difficult, you're not 'cheating' the game, you modify it. In order to cheat with such a harder mod, you would need a context, like making your opponent play the harder version in a competition while he's not aware of it, and you compete against it with the original version.

There's a ton of loophole about this subject, which is why it is always a good ground to have a nerdy debate (special thought for Patrick M. on this one).

Thanks for bringing that on here man! Having the complete list to enhance on here would be great.

Any chance Mike's willing to join VGS?

Hey glad to see you here portabella! Plus our avatars are complementary!

Hey Rocky, welcome aboard the VGS train!

It's cool you kept your boo girl avatar!

Nice pic Jimbo! I think I have the gifs somewhere in my computer.
