With that said, I have been looking for a wallet alternative that I like. I just haven't found one yet. To keep my wallet as small as possible, I carry the bare minimum in my wallet at the moment. 2 credit cards 2 charge cards (they offer discounts at two stores I frequent) 2 debit cards 3 forms of ID (Illinois sucks) cash I don't really need to carry 2 credit cards, but I like an extra as a backup. I could probably stop carrying the debit cards to save space. Also, I need to see if I could pay with my charge cards without carrying them. Some stores allow that with proper ID, but I haven't checked with these two stores. So I could potentially carry less, but my wallet is so thin at the moment I don't really need to.

Right rear pocket unless I'm in a crowded area, then I move it to the front right. Sitting on a wallet isn't an issue. Most rear pockets are actually off to the side as you sit. I've had a wallet in my back pocket for over 30 years, and I've net sat on a wallet. I've never understood why some think that's an issue unless you have a George Costanza wallet.

This isn't published by LRG, but it looks like they will sell it on their site as a distributor.

Looking back on my post, I guess I didn't really answer the original question presented for this thread. Personally, I don't consider portable games to be less significant. However, I do consider the portable systems to be less significant because I would only play one in a compromised situation where a home console isn't possible (like in the car or in a hotel room). Because of this I play portable only games much less often and I've probably missed out on great games because of this (I never played Link's Awakening until it hit the Switch). The Switch solves this issue because going forward, there are no more portable only games.

For those complaining about opening the GG carts, look at it this way. It's still better then dealing with a Jaguar cart. The screws that hold the plastic together on a Jaguar cart are underneath the label.

I remember the game as a kid, but I never actually played it. I might give it a try sometime.

Earlier I meant to say that I was thinking the same thing when I had mine apart. The only thing I can think of would be something broken inside like a plastic tab, but that issue would probably go away and not repeat itself after removing and reinstalling the PCB back into the case. As others have said, I would be very interested in getting my hands on the game and trying to replicate what the seller was claiming.

You know what's funny about the PSP, is that it was SUPER CLOSE to being the Switch years before the Switch was a thing. Most of us know that some models had video out. There was also a dock that allowed you to charge the PSP and run the video out cable to a TV (it was meant for watching UMD movies). It also could accept controls from a remote in this state. I'm not sure why they didn't figure out a way to run a PS3 controller to it on the dock. That was the only thing keeping it from being the first Switch.

You're a dirty reseller.

Welcome. Outside of video games, woodworking and automobile repair are my other two favorite hobbies. I've been considering starting a thread in the "Everything Else" forum about woodworking to gauge interest from others. I've been wondering if there are enough woodworkers among our group to get a good discussion going. Nice to know there is at least one more.

Watch this video if you are still not sure. Pay attention to where the tabs are because if you are putting pressure elsewhere, it might not work. Jump to around the 2 minute mark.

Here is a pic of the super tiny tab. Again, at first it feels like you are stressing the plastic, but once you get your finger nail in there, it will pop off.

I had to go and open a cart to see for myself because it's been so long since I've done this. Once you get the screw out, you just need to slide your finger nail down the side and it will pop off. It does not slide off like a Game Boy cart. There are super tiny tabs that need to be pushed in, and you finger nail or something super thin should be enough to do it.

I've played my share of portable games over the years, but it was always in the car as a kid or in a hotel room at night as an adult. In other words, I've always played portable games in situations where console gaming wasn't possible. I don't really have much interest in playing portable games when I'm at home, and because of that I know I've missed out on a lot of games that I would probably enjoyed otherwise. For example, I've played several of the Paper Mario games and I've enjoyed them all, but I've never played any of the Mario & Luigi games even though I would probably enjoy them. I just don't want to play any longer, story-based games without having it available on the big screen. That's another reason why I'm such a huge fan of the Switch. I had been saying for years before the Switch was announced that all I wanted was ports of the portable games brought to home consoles. There are still several generations of games stuck in the portable world, but at least going forward we don't have to worry about that anymore.

For those who haven't opened the controllers, they are fantastic controllers. Highly recommended for the NES and SNES games on the Switch.

I know you can open some GG carts because I had to do that in order to create a shell for my GG Everdrive. I don't remember which game I used as a donor shell, but I had no issues opening it with a normal security bit.

Welcome. I'm a big PS1 fan and I love the original Crash games from that era. I probably rank Crash ahead of Sonic, but behind Mario in terms of my favorite mascot. Feel free to share pics of your collection as most of us enjoy seeing that type of stuff.

I'm good with the one that I have. I don't think I've ever used both the two NES controllers (that I had to buy together) at the same time.

As a kid, I never heard about the hover board rumors, so I never had that trouble. But I do remember at the end of the third movie, when Doc gives Marty his gift. He opens it up to find the picture they took in front of the clock during the party. As a kid, I was super disappointed in that gift. I was sitting there like "why didn't Doc give Marty the hover board back?" Funny thing is that as an adult, I realize just how awesome having that picture would be.

I didn't go inside, so I don't know what they had, but the next time I'm up in Litchfield, IL, I will check. But if they had tons of Pokemon cards, there is a good chance they had some other stuff as well.

No interest. I own an original XBox and a 360, but I just don't see any reason to get this along with my PS4. I can only think of one exclusive game that I'm interested in, and that just isn't enough.

Just give me a Pepsi Free.

I just received my shipping notification yesterday, so I wouldn't be worried if you haven't heard yet. It should be soon.

If Sony doesn't fix the battery issue by the time the servers are shut down, someone else in the modding community will. This is absolutely a non-issue and anyone complaining about it is either clueless or trolling (and the LRG screenshot above is a perfect example of both).

It was the mailman's last day on the job after 35 years of carrying the mail through all kinds of weather to the same neighborhood. When he arrived at the first house on his route he was greeted by the whole family there, who congratulated him and sent him on his way with a big gift envelope. At the second house they presented him with a box of fine cigars. The folks at the third house handed him a selection of terrific fishing lures. At the fourth house he was met at the door by a strikingly beautiful woman in a very revealing negligee. She said nothing, but instead took him by the hand, gently led him through the door (which she closed behind him), and led him up the stairs to the bedroom. There she engaged him in the most passionate love-making he had ever experienced. When he could hardly even speak, let alone think of more sex, she somehow managed to shower him, dress him, and take him downstairs, where she fixed him a giant breakfast: eggs, potatoes, ham, sausage, blueberry waffles, and fresh-squeezed orange juice. She poured him a cup of steaming coffee and noticed his strength returning as she rubbed his neck soothingly. Just then, as she was pouring a second cup of Java feeling like life couldn't get any better, he noticed a dollar bill sticking out from under the cup's bottom edge. He blurted out, "This whole neighborhood has been incredible on my last day, but this here ... well, this is just too wonderful for words!" Then, puzzled, he added, "... but ... what's the dollar for?" "Well," she said, "last night, I told my husband that today would be your last day, and I said that we should do something special for you. I asked him what he thought I should give you." He grunted and said, "Aw fuck him; give him a dollar." Then she added, "Breakfast and the neck rub were MY idea."
