OptOut

Simple question for all the married/long-term committed men out there. Am I to blame if my wife is not directly explicit with me about the things she wants or expects me to do? I often "get in trouble" for not realising my wife wants me to do things for her or buy her things after she gives me cryptic, sometimes even subliminal hints as to what she actually desires. Case in point, she recently told me a cheap necklace she bought no longer shines and is tarnished, and so she plans to discard it. This was APPARENTLY a super obvious message that she wanted me to buy her a new one, even though I work five days a week, have zero time to shop, and even if I did buy her a necklace on my own she would undoubtedly hate it because I have no idea what a necklace is for or why she would want one. So, am I the bad guy here? Or should I have already bought her the world's most appropriate necklace, suited to her specific tastes, at a price that is high enough to make her feel happy I spent it on her, without spending so much that I'd get in trouble for making her feel guilty I bought it?

Oooooooooooh! Not heard that one before! That's a real good one! I guess they would like finally realise their loved one was just an asshole who deserves to be damned? Or maybe God's loving embrace would blot out all those nasty thoughts and selfish impulses such as "caring about loved ones"... Good question!

Any additional information on exactly what these are? Are these official Gameboy releases? Sorry, never heard of ASI before, a bit lost!

This is amazing, thank you so much for the thorough write-up! I love really specific and detailed walkthroughs with old technology like this, it's amazing the things that are possible you never even thought of! Great stuff, look forward to your next article!

Half a buck! **Edit**: And that's if you clean it up a little first!

Oh NOES! They're talking about us in some sort of code, probably laughing at us! Not cool guys, not cool!

Detective Pikachu was a kids movie, but it had great trailers with actually funny jokes, and it turned out well. There are loads of kids movies that are well written and great fun. This doesn't look like one of them. I will not be subjecting myself, nor my kids, to this one.

Sonic looks better, though still not even close to spot-on, but the film itself looks absolutely terrible. I didn't laugh at even one of those "jokes" in the trailer, so lame! Aren't they supposed to be putting their BEST stuff in the trailer? This film retroactively makes Detective Pikachu an even MORE awesome movie than it already was! Calling it, this one's gonna be a stinker. At least they gave the Coolio a break, tho, thank god, lol!

Thanks yourself! If you're interested, the SNES article is also now live in my blog section:

Hi Dr. Nick! Never gets old! :D

You need the batteries in order to play the games! How could you possibly enjoy your Robotic Operating Buddy (also known as ROB) without a couple AA's? Having said that, if you include batteries on the list, you also gotta include a CRT... ROB won't work without that either... Is the Sharp TV on the list? Edit: NOT on the list! Get the Sharp NES TV on the list dude, you gonna need something to actually play the games on, not just the system but a good CRT TV too!

Hey there, welcome! Get stuck in below, brother! https://www.videogamesage.com/forum/21-homebrews/

Good God! Please no, NO! All of the lives? EVERY life? Please, I would do anything necessary, anything in my power, anything BEYOND my power to get out of that! Too much work, too much pain, argh! Great, thanks Gloves, now I've got a whole other nightmare scenario in my head to worry about when I die!

How so? Is it really possible to judge a price on this kind of item, when there are no directly comparable sales we can relate it to? Genuinely curious how such an item can be priced, when no other know examples exist. Is a million really out of the question? I have no idea, I just wanna hear your logic, seeing as you actually have experience with one of a kind items!

Lol at people getting mad in these threads! This is clearly a unique forum member, posting his own lists in his own threads, I for one welcome contributions from his unusual perspective (admittedly with a little tongue-in-cheek)! The logic to what is included is clear, if you look at it with a particular frame of mind... Reminds me of the kinds of things I would think about when I was a kid listing all the Nintendo things I could think of in my head! The lists are not complete, however, and OP is obviously open to suggestion and debate as to what should and shouldn't be included, so why not help him out rather than deride his effort! Maybe you can be a Video Game Master too!

Ghost game!

What you talking about, PlayStation sucks balls! Would've been better for Sony to release this SNES CD and then watch it fail and go, "Ah well, videogames ain't for us I suppose"... Every day for the past 25 years I have dreamed of a blissful PlayStation-free existence, every morning I wake up with the wretched pang of cold dread when I remember that world will never be. #N64life

3 million may be a stretch, but of all the videogame related items out there that might possibly pull down anywhere near that figure, this has got to be a contender. I mean historical significance is one thing, but before this unit was discovered it was practically a myth and a legend rather than a tangible object that it was ever thought possible to own. To hold the ACTUAL Nintendo Playstation in your hands still sounds like a fantasy to me, it really is that special. Add in the fact that this is likely one-of-a-kind (or as close to that as you can get), and yeah why not at least a million?!

Lol, tends to happen after a couple bottles of red wine!

You'd have thought they would clean up the soda while they were refurbishing the game... Unless the spill happened AFTER and the original fault was caused by some other mishap! Who the heck owned that game originally anyway? Mr Magoo?

**Trigger warning**: I am talking about actual real end of life death here. If this can possibly upset or offend you, PLEASE do not read any further. This is going to be a totally real thing here I'm going to say, and I HOPE no one is harmed or offended by it, but it's just the way I have felt for a long time, and I really want to hear other people's opinions on it to either challenge or inform me. But here goes... I do not want to experience ANY further existence or any kind of sensation or ANYTHING else that I am consciously aware of after I die. Let me be clear. I do not want to die. I am not unhappy with my life, and I want to experience as much of life as I can while I am alive. There are a multitude of pleasures that I am aware of and can continue to enjoy while living, and by no means do I want anything to put a stop to that any time soon. However, once I'm gone, once my body is worn out and my brain stops receiving oxygen and no longer functions, I don't want any more. I don't want to feel any more, I don't want to work any more, I don't want to wake up anymore, I don't want to think any more, I don't want to live any more. It would be amazing to imagine that there was a heaven that my conciousness could go to, and live forever in bliss, or whatever, but sorry I don't believe that. I believe nothing. But, on the other hand I am actually properly fearful that my conciousness WILL live on in some way after my death, perhaps even reincarnated into another painful and suffering filled existence, so I have to do all this shit over AGAIN. YAWN! Please do not do that to me, DO NOT WANT! Lame. My worst fear is that I have to live another life as a human from birth to death, AGAIN. Fuck that, I'm so tired, please just let me rest and not have to bother waking up everyday over and over again for a million years... I have a sneaking suspicion that this WILL fucking happen to me. I will die about 50 or 60 years from now, fat and rich and surrounded by loved ones, and then like maybe a few years later I'm gonna be a fucking baby just learning how to walk and even though I remember NOTHING of my previous life, I'm gonna FEEL every fucking second of it... I already feel that way to be honest, I'm 33 years old and I feel like I'm fucking 500, so lame... Anyway, what do you reckon? Am I going to have to do all this shit AGAIN? Or can I just die and rest in peace and not even have to bother anymore? **Please do not be offended** This is not a joke it is a genuine question and concern. I actually am happy living, but do NOT want to live again. What are your thoughts. Peace.

Wow, amazing and very thorough list OP. Great stuff, keep it up!

I've already got Snowboard Kids 2, ken Griffey Jr. , HSV adventure racing and StarCraft, cart only of course. I was lucky enough to pick up StarCraft for 5 pounds from GameStation in Southend about 15+ years ago, so getting the others was trivial after that. As I said, not a collector so much, so boxes and manuals aren't my thing, but carts yeah I got em!

Hey, it's different, it's fresh, it's hip, it's happening, it's VGS! Welcome!

Very nice little trilogy there GPX. I'm more of a gamer than a collector, but I HAD to complete my collection of Mario Party games for N64. US collectors don't realise how expensive those 3 games are in PAL land, especially Mario Party 3 which I had to spend 80 quid on! Also, I felt naked without Sonic Advance 3 when I had the other two, so I bought that as well! Then again, all those games are great to play too, so win-win!
