I remember @Psychopat!  Welcome to the New Sage!

Here are the first two games Im sending to VGA when they open up their economy grading service again.

Is there a way to export my GVN collection to another site, like maybe to excel then back into another tracker?

I need a place to keep track of my collection inventory.  What is the absolute best, paid or free, that is typically up to date with new releases, and will be around for the next 60+ years and remain reliable?

I have a stack of PS4 and PS5 games that I cant add to my collection because the site has been shit since it was sold.

I listen to what comes out from bands that I liked before, but as far as new artists, I gave up.

Mort Garson had some pretty cool ideas for electronic music in the 60s.  I think he should be up there with Wendy Carlos, but he seemed overlooked for many years.  Mort had a very dynamic style and wasn't afraid to experiment with the medium, making occult-themed albums (under psuedonyms Lucifer and Ataraxia) to covers of contemporary popular music like The Fifth Dimension, to music for plants.  I enjoy putting his music on at times or when the season is right, really captures an atmosphere and echoes his passion for creativity and exploring the boundaries of music.

His original vinyls finally got a re-pressing in recent years, and I think his Plantasia album got popular on YT, so he's gained a bit more recognition which is cool.  Another neat fact is that he wrote jingles that were broadcast during the moon landing coverage in 1969. 

 

That sounds like a Final Fantasy game on SNES.  Its interesting for sure.

Wire is an awesome first wave punk band that always seems to be overshadowed by more well known bands like The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Ramones, etc. Easily top 5 in my book.

Maybe not top 5 but a lot of modern bands are criminally underrated.

I just listened to a couple of their songs.  They sound much more like OMD and Depeche Mode than the Clash or Ramones to me.

Voted, but not an easy choice against Weezer.  Another fairly underrated band as they do have an enormous cult following compared to Smashing Pumpkins.

You think Smashing Pumpkins was "criminally underrated"?  Really?

Maybe it was regional, but I remember them being thought of as a pretty big deal in the mid-90's.

Though while I can listen to their occasional older song for nostalgia -- I heard one of their newer releases on the radio and I found Billy's voice to be pretty grating.  Maybe it's just the conversion to being a dad and having to listen to whining/crying kids making it a bit too much to take.

They are definitely underrated!  When people talk about alternative rock from that time period its always Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains.

I dont know what sub genres Smashing Pumpkins falls into underneath the Alternative Rock label, but I believe they should be mentioned up there with Soundgarden right behind Nirvana and Pearl Jam during the grunge era.

Faith No More is definitely a top 5 rap rock lounge singing funk death metal band

 

One of my favorite bands!  They are going back on tour this year.

For me, the first band that I feel has always been super underrated is The Offspring.  They have so many hit songs with staying power that I even though in their main genres they are forgotten about, when you break it down to Pop-Punk, they need to be top 5 alongside Green Day and Blink-182.

Feel free to break down the sub genres as far as you want for your answer...

Sorry guys, I forgot to add in the poll so that we can easily read results.  Go back and vote!

Cherry Coke.  Its my replacement for booze...

Here is a lil info I found on it from Sega-16

Welcome to the Sage!

I remember a guy coming up to me and offering to pay Game Dude prices for my stuff around 2009 and that guy paid an absurd amount for pretty common stuff.  Thx Game Dude.

Im not sure why it exists, but I have seen quite a few on ebay over the years and have yet to jump on one.

Also I prefer a small amount of milk to ensure I don't end up a bowl of mush, I hate soggy cereal. 

 

The milk has to be as cold as possible too right?  If Im going for a second bowl, I get rid of the milk and start over to make sure its super cold.

I havent seen any Apple Jacks fans yet.  That was one cereal that I dreaded having to eat the next morning at a friends after a sleep over.  It always made me gag.

Your taste pallet has probably changed quite a bit from your youth.  I know mine has.  I used to eat Cookie Crisps and Fruit Loops all the time back in the day, but my all time favorite has never changed, and I still snack on it from time to time these days.  Here is my top 3...

1. Cinnamon Toast Crunch

2. Trix

3. Capn Crunch Crunch Berries
