Doesn't matter . 8-bit Mariah is all I ever really needed to remain motivated. 

The 2018 Mariah is superior.

Ooooh muh guh, the hit-box detection for the flippers is killing me!

I agree but I think it plays a little better than 2016.

However I will say that by making modern games too easy most kids aren’t very good at games.

I had my nephew, who is 10, play SMB3 and DKC and he couldn’t even pass the first level of either. Lost about 15 lives on each and just gave up. He got frustrated that it was too hard. 

A lot of this type of difficulty comes from transition of video games from the arcade to the home.  Whereas gameplay was really designed around bilking kids out of as many quarters as possible.  Giving just enough progress to encourage the player to keep feeding coins to the machine.  Devs just used the existing arcade template in the early days of the home console market.

In the NES era we start to see some consideration for the home experience with more unlimited continues, progress saving via battery or codes, proper endings, and elimination of score as the primary goal of the proficient player.  It's super rare to see a score display on modern AAA titles.  Just crank the difficulty up a notch if the game is to easy.

Love the band. Hate the song.

It's not a song, it's a taco.

Tacos and metal. Together!

Tacos!  Everything is fairly standard here.  Corn tortillas, beef, cheese, 50/50 lettuce mix, baby grape tomatoes, and taco sauce.

Pretty great.  I watched it twice this season.  It's a good supplement to Lethal Weapon and the Die Hards for required holiday movies.

Ape Escape?

1212.  Good tunes in every bracket except 4.  Love Chili Peppers but don't care for that song.  But I'll never vote for Radiohead.  On top of being one of the most pretentious bands in the world, those assholes cancelled the Denver show in 96 promising they'd reschedule and honor the tickets.  Didn't happen of course.  Fuck you, Thom.

Free Richardhead? What did Ric do this time?? Hopefully it's not anything of the likes of "everything else" section or even worse.......

I don't remember.  The best part though is that Rich was eventually unbanned but then Skinny was banned immediately after achieving mod status.

Anyone remember when skinny was a NA mod? True story.

His first act was to unban @Richardhead.

Is that the same one that also came out on the Wii?  Maybe it was because I was playing it on the Wii, but I just couldn't get into it.  That was also a gaming dry spell for me, so there was that too.

Yeah it was on all of the platforms at the time.

 Hot take--the best NBA Jam is actually NBA Hang Time.  I never felt it was too unfair, but maybe I just played it THAT much.

2010 On Fire Edition was my Jam.  Spent plenty of hours whoopin @Richardhead on the 360.  BOOMSHAKALAKA!  Good times.

My phone has a decent sized screen, but I guess I'm just used to it.

I'm phone.  Only ever on the computer if I'm legit working on something and might have VGS up as a distraction.
