Estil

How exactly do you clean the console's cartridge contacts in a top loader system?  I mean I figure those should be clean too right?

I don't know if you hear much about this anymore (as you can see it goes WAY far back!) but the way Porky Pig does Blue Christmas is really cute

And while we're on the subject of Mr Hankey's Christmas Classics, check out this one that most definitely was Too Hot For TV!!!

While the competition for the cutest kitten on YT is quite tough to say the least, I'd say with this one, what he does at the very end truly seals the deal   Seriously, all of you who think you are such tough macho alpha males or something, just try to watch this without awwing or getting all warm fuzzies inside or whatnot

As for the best kitty surprise present, I cannot find a more off the charts adorable way of doing the kitty surprise than right here!  Wait till you see where she finds the kitty!  That is, if you can looks past her very unladylike language...

And a close second would be this one (at 7:46); I wish I could find the full length version but I suppose what I look for most in this category is creative presentation above all else (plus if his/her face turns red!  hee hee).  Don't you just love that light bulb/realization moment when they open the presents and they're all cat sorts of things and they're like, "wait a minute, why are we getting cat things...unless....SQUEE!!!!"

I nominate this one in the best kitty homecoming/reunion/greeting human home sort of deal.  I mean you see tons of videos of military people doing a surprise appearance/coming home or whatnot for their sons/daughters/spouses/other loved ones, but of course I think this reunion/greeting is truly the cat's meow

As for a DIShonorable/Kitty Raspberry sort of title, this I would nominate as the most UNcute cat on the Internet!  Seriously, I thought cats are supposed to be kind, gentle, adorable creatures

PS: You cannot nominate your own cats!  Sorry!

And so both the PS5 and Xbox 4 (why not call it that instead of all these weird funny names like the Wii U that makes it look like a Wii going to or meant for college or Xbox One that sounds like the President's console/Xbox Live username?) are making these lofty claims about so-called "backwards compatablity"...I got news (and weather, and sports!) for them, unless you can play the actual discs from previous gens, it DOESN'T COUNT.

And of course let's not forget these from the 90s redneck craze!

This one was always on the radio in Michigan when I was growing up. I still know all the lyrics.

Hee hee, did you know there was a sequel/parody/answer song?

I feel like there's way too many WWII games.  Like, have there been any good Civil War games lately?  Any other American Revolution ones besides Assasin's Creed and Liberty or Death (SNES)?  Maybe some alternate history ones (besides Nazis winning WWII)?

Whatever you guys do, don't watch the latest video.

Too late I did.  I will admit that central hub in the third temple of MM with the strong currents really was frustrating the first couple times I played it.  But with experience you do learn how to utilize the owl statues' warp capabilities and you really do need to use the Inverted Song of Time to have any realistic chance of getting the Stray Fairies in the 3rd/4th temples.  As for the common complaint of there being "only" four temples....TBH the part of getting to the temple and striking the nearby owl statue so you can go to it whenever you want can be just as if not more complicated/challenging than the temple itself.  Also the AVGN forgets to mention the Bomber's Notebook, which is most helpful for keeping track of sidequests and which ones you finished.

One thing I would've liked to have seen in the 3DS remake is being able to have a bigger bank account and more goodies for reaching certain thresholds.

So apparently the fourth/9th gen Xbox just got officially named (Xbox Series S; I don't think it makes any sense though) and honestly, unless again I'm not being a fair judge because I've mostly ignored most of modern gaming, I'm actually impressed...and are they doing like a before/after transition showing 8th gen vs 9th gen graphics?  BTW is that supposed to be a game console or an office building with no doors/windows and a roof with holes in it?

Now let's see what the PS5 can do.  I'm guessing Nintendo is sitting out the 9th gen for now, right?  I can't believe we're already about to be up to the 9th gen a little under a year from now...

Aren't his reviews of TMNT and Zelda 2 mostly revisonist history though?  I mean no one seemed to have a problem with either game when they came out...in fact (and I can't believe hardly anyone mentions this) the graphics in Zelda 2 are spectacular and the game is huge.  You sure do get your money's worth on that one!

Even so, even when the game had just came out (sadly I could only afford to rent it once in awhile) I did find it really odd why it was much harder to get the Turtles to swim compared to Mario...I mean didn't Donatello once say that water is their natural habitat?

Not to quibble but (from my post) 

"To be fair, they pick those who they feel have made the most impact rather than any necessarily endearing qualities."

All the more reason the HK protesters were by far the most qualified.

Mrs. Tellurian and I adopted a couple of kittens back in mid-October.  I had forgotten how much fun kittens are to have around. Figaro is now named Loki and Leeto is now named Thor.

 

And the best part is that unlike many of the breeds of that other species, they will be just as cute and soft and fluffy even as adults!   I mean adult cats do pretty much the same cute sorts of things that kittens do right?

All prices are shipped in the US.  I am willing to ship internationally but the difference will need to be covered.  Clean conditions throughout.  Thanks for looking.

Consoles

RGB modded SNES JR(Includes hookups)- $75

Super NT - $150

RGB Modded Turbografx 16 (Includes hookups, controller) - $110

I would only need S-video hookup.  That's the best my monitor can take.

Time has chosen some doozies - Adoph Hitler, Joseph Stalin (twice), Nikita Kruschev and Ayotollah Khomeini (among others).

To be fair, they pick those who they feel have made the most impact rather than any necessarily endearing qualities.

I am not sure that Greta has made a great impact - for true believers she at best reinforces their beliefs but I doubt that other than providing a new target she has made much impact on those who don't believe the narrative (at least as it is portrayed). 

Remember Time's Man/Woman/Person/Thing of the Year is not necessarily meant to be an honor, as such.  It's more who they think made the most impact in news/history and such...for better or for worse.

This is the most UNdeserving major "honor" since Obama got that Nobel Peace Prize for absolutely nothing.  The HK protesters would be by far the most qualified (I mean they're risking their very lives or at the very least the quality of their lives for their cause and they DON'T get the luxury of freedom of speech/assembly people in the US often take for granted).  I can't believe Time wasted this on some girl who gave a few passionate speeches for the past year and little else.

I honestly thought they were a joke right from the start.  I think there was even a Judge Judy case/episode about them in IIRC.  Look if you're going to get into a hobby do it because it's fun and you like the challenge of building the best collection you can that reflects you and your personality.  And isn't it interesting that most things that are expected to "be worth something someday" usually don't pan out while the things that DO become valuable are the kinds of things people don't expect to "be worth something someday"?

I hope they throw it right at your forehead!  As Gomer Pyle would say, what a mean thing!  What a mean thing to do!  Shame, shame, shame!

Oh my Trekkie wife will be sad to hear that...though she's always been Next Generation first.

What I want to know is what those weird symbols on the fronts of the keys mean

You know I have this TG-16 Everdrive card just sitting here collecting dust for a couple years (I got it on sale so as not to let my tickets go to waste or something) and I was just wondering if TG-16 consoles have come down in price any?  I mean sure I can play the best two out of three in the 3rd-8th gens but it might be nice to have the "Ross Perot console" of the 4th gen    But didn't the consoles go up to like at least $100 or something?

I didn't know that I got engaged, but please tell me it was to Avril Lavigne and that wasn't all a dream!  It was actually @doner24 that got engaged, I just quoted his post lol.

Oh sorry, my bad!  Then congrats to doner24 then!  That's sure some rock he got her too!

And yeah, isn't Avril Lavigne that "Sk8er Boi" chick?  That was a neat song she did   Sadly she and the presumed "Sk8er Boi" in that song (Deryck Whibley) broke up in 2010

At the risk of disappointing and further invalidating my stances, they're both well before my time.  Even though I'll be 20 next year. 

Oh boy did you miss out!  And BTW, Ice was not a "one hit wonder", he was a TWO hit wonder!  His moment of fame might not have lasted very long but he sure made sure he'd be forever immortalized just the same!

And of course who could forget MC Hammer?  Check out all the neat athlete cameos in his Too Legit to Quit...though Canseco and Clemens and McGwire weren't quite as legit as we thought...

Wasn't so happy for all those poor retailer employees (such as Wal-Mart, surprise surprise) who were needlessly forced to work on "generic Thursday"

I did get to have some pizza at my grandma's!  She's long since retired from doing the whole traditional Thanksgiving dinner but we got to do that at least.

And congrats on the engagement, Bearcat!  Wow how were you able to do it all the way in Portugal?  Is one of you originally from Portugal?
