Bills-Steelers game might be moved, but the Chiefs-Dolphins game will not be moved with "dangerously cold" temperatures as per the National Weather Service.

If only I could. Why not be at one of the coldest games in NFL history, right?

Here come the injuries excuses 

It's not an excuse, it's a fact.

What disappoints me the most is the fact the strength heading into the all off season was the WR group, but it's focused heavily on Hill/Waddle that there seems to be no adjustment with either of them out.

Better hope the 3rd stringers can hold kc under 20 points

3rd? You don't know how to count past 3? I'm surprised Jason Taylor and Zach Thomas didn't get a call.

You think Cameron Wake just happened to be at the stadium and wasn't asked if he could still play?

Decided to save money instead.  So I don't want to buy anymore.

Did you realize how much they cost?

I know a lot of you guys are Dolphins fans, but man, they are going to get their clocks cleaned in the playoffs.  Just please tell them to take out the Chiefs before they leave...

Not sure if there's enough healthy players left to play a game! I drove by the stadium and they asked me if I knew how to block, catch or tackle!

If somehow a 'cartridge-only' version becomes available, I will take it. Cool project!

It's 2 games for $60. Live a little!

In case they don't want to keep your collection I think leaving behind a document that has rough values and a guide on how to sell would be best. You make them aware of the overall value and how to look up values in case they want to sell stuff. It also helps to know what stores have higher payouts for collections.

 @Gloves mentioned leaving your credentials for them to sign in to VGS. I recall a former member passing away and someone sold the items off to benefit the family a few years ago.

Leaving anything useful for gauging value or contacts in a will can definitely help out your family very much.

The best Dolphin season of the last 30 years went 11-5 and got blown out (and shut out) in the divisional round.  So I don't really feel bad for a better team that is playing for the #2 seed in week 18 
 

The Ravens are the best team in the NFL and it showed when they stopped the 49ers. I figured we would lose, but what concerns me the most is the injuries that occured. Having home field for this team would be the best case scenario. Not having it for the playoffs is bad. Having all these injuries going into a game against Buffallo next is just awful.

It was always talked about how easy and soft the schedule was for Miami, but they didn't bother looking at how it finished. The Dolphins have literally a playoff mode feel for the last weeks of the season and has been a win out to achieve the best playoff position possible.

Unfortunately injuries have really hurt the team this year. Far too many players are out every week. If it's not the OLine, it's the defense, if not it's a reciever and why not all at the same time. Lol

Woah this is a big one. I've finally completed Zelda Minish Cap on Gayboy Advance in the past few days during the holiday season and I had been originally playing for like uh, a few years in total... I got stuck at some point and I decided enough is enough and said fuck it and just looked up playthroughs and got through these bullshit moments. I like Zelda games very much but those stupid bullshit moments in zelda games just kill the whole fun once you get stuck forever for months or even years. And with that said I completed this "challenge" 10/10 since I started doing it like 3 months ago

Really? That's the system you played it on?

I've had these donuts in Orlando... but the company started in Portland.

The Mango Tango... MMMMM. They also have a bunch of other good donuts.

Seeing the original post I guess I am...

I'm okay with $7.

I just need you to message me on here, my inbox is full and I can't send anymore messages, lol!

Not to hijack the thread, but subscribing eliminates that, plus it helps with the site, so it's a win-win! You also get something cool. So a win-win-win. Give it a try!

I'll take one, why not.

My understanding of passwords of this era is that they were so complicated because the weren't really passwords per se but really just making you enter a section of hex code for the program to run.

As a kid it always felt cool to write down the passwords, so I didn't mind it. It's fun seeing manuals written in with notes and passwords.

River City Ransom for the NES.  I didn't know about this game when I was a kid, and I probably wouldn't have liked it even if I did.  The cartoonish aesthetic and the almost immediate reliance on RPG-style healing separate it from other beat-em ups (of which there aren't many for the NES), but those elements also detract from the arcade-heavy action that most of the games in this genre are known for.  The designer succeeds in creating a new gameplay loop for this type of game BUT forces the player to either take extensive notes about the various items that can be purchased or borrow from someone who already has.  So, your main activity while playing RCR will be tracking what all of the various shop items actually do.  I couldn't bring myself to take my own notes, so I looked all the attributes up.  That turned the game into almost 100% grinding until I got powerful enough and then went for my game-ending run.  EXCEPT that I didn't know I needed to backtrack a little and got into a no-win situation where I couldn't continue and couldn't go back.  A rare situation for a NES game where I actually had to power down the NES and reload using a password.  And boy - those passwords.  I was playing from an original cart that I resurrected with the help of a security bit and some de-ox, so I had to use the password system.  Good thing I am now in the era of instant digital photography.

Once I recovered from my no-win situation, I had plenty of money to power myself up to god-like powers, cruising to the end of the game.  So many a$$holes got a grand slam to the face or dragon kicks to the nuts that I should probably be put away for life.  I give River City Ransom a 2 out of 5.  Now I can finally move on to Retro City Rampage and all of the other games that have borrowed from this "classic" over the years.  My picture is of the dreaded password screen.  Likely a reluctance to use this system caused the original owner of my filthy cart to leave the game in the slot and the NES powered up so long that the contacts became dirty to the point of being unplayable.  RIP password screen:

Unfortunately when you don't play some of these games as a kid, it loses it's sense of "discovery". As an adult, you take the most logical approach which would be to grind out the game to eat all the sushi and buy all the books you can to power up, then the game is super easy. As a kid you just eat stuff, see what they do and go back to power up some more when you realize beating the boss is too difficult or near impossible. The password system isn't that terrible. I thought of them as a cool feature that just took a little extra effort.
