Not going to happen. There is plenty still left available in the aftermarket. I pick and choose the free ones I want from local marketplace all the time. 

Currently watching the new season of Rick and Morty. Love that show. 

On Book 3 of a series called Holding Their Own.................12 books in all I believe. Has me hooked. 

A Story of Survival, is set in the year 2015, when the world is burdened by the second Great Depression. The United States, already weakened by internal strife, becomes the target of an international terror plot. A series of attacks results in thousands of casualties and disables the country's core infrastructure. The combination of economic hardship and the staggering blow of the terror attacks results in a collapse of the government.

This is a realistic story of how an average, middle class couple survives the cascading events brought on by international politics, high tech military actions and the eventual downfall of society. All of their survival skills are tested during the action packed expedition in a world that resembles the American West of 200 years past.

Legend Of Zelda Minish Cap. 

Watched The Irishman Saturday night. Loved it. 

Playing LOZ Minish Cap for GBA via Wii on my 36” CRT. Really makes the GBA and GB library extremely more enjoyable. 

@Archon 1981 yes could you please give us the non redacted photo of this piece with close ups on each signature so I can verify the signatures and then stalk these people on Facebook.

That Mario will be a 7 figure game. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But it will. I have zero doubt. 

Wonder if they had a potluck dinner for Marilyn on her last day. Sweet poster!

My Aunt’s french silk did me in. Some craft time as well. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you. Congrats @doner24!!

There is nothing.... NOTHING that could ever get me to answer a craigslist ad in which I was being instructed to BRING A FUCKING STRANGER A GODDAMN CHAINSAW

Bahahahah. When you put it like that it does sound flipping bananas. lol

Traded a hand me down chainsaw for these games. Craigslist AD. The only wanted $95 for Earthbound which is a deal but I still didn't want to spend cash. At the end of the listing they also noted they would trade for a chainsaw. Had a chainsaw that had been sitting in my shed for the last 5+ years cant even recall. I met with the seller at his place about 15 minutes from me and watched him spend a half hour trying to get the chainsaw to start which he eventually did and even test cut some logs with it. He told me he has a chainsaw addiction and this will be like his 12th chainsaw. I literally saw multiple chainsaws laying around the garage and even outback. lol. He is a picker and the SNES games were a recent "barn find" he told me. We agreed on EB and Contra III. I did not have a security bit with me but I have been doing this long enough to know what a legit EB label looks like and was not worried at all. Got it home and opened it up and cleaned it and tested fine and the battery was still good with a couple save files still on it. Honestly the whole thing was alot of fun. Beats spending money for stuff these days. Was a nice win I think. For me anyhow. The things we do.

Yeah, no problem.  Castlevania Adventure.  The Rev-1 is quite rare and after I inspected @Splain's copy he'd found a little while ago, it looks like they just changed the (TM) to (R).  Go figure.

So TM is the first print?

I am curious now though what GB game and variant you found!

Someone delete this post!  I still need about 70 GB variants!

I created a new post to advertise JJ as a great place to find variants.

It has to do with the proprioceptors in your brain and body not matching up. You're seeing one thing, but you're body is experiencing another. As mentioned above it's similar to car sickness in that your brain/eyes say you're moving, but you're body is in a steady state and says you're not.

I don't know what the research says about acclimation, but it could definitely be a thing.

So what I need is a fully hydraulic VR chair that matches the movements.

I sympathize with that, but suggest perhaps another insight that may help you out. When I first used VR for games, I found that I became nauseous after about 20 minutes of play. As I kept playing, however, I found that I slowly improved, and for every subsequent game that granted me motion sickness, I would come back the next time able to handle it without problems. What I'm getting at is that, in my experience, people can definitely adjust and become more comfortable with VR. I'm not saying to go out and buy it now, but I would suggest giving it some more tries in the future. You might find that your body adjusts to it with more exposure.

I believe I have read some discussion about that before. What exactly causes the reaction? Its not like I have puked or anything but its just the weirdest feeling of it just beginning to slowly creep up on me. After playing briefly I feel just icky. lol

So I'm ready to dip my toes into the water and peer through the "screen door" into the virtual reality world. I have never strapped on a VR headset, with the exception of my Virtual Boy....lol, so I don't know much about them. Did a little research and kind of narrowed my interest down to either the Playstation VR or the Oculus Quest.

Just looking for some direction here, mostly from people who have put some time in on one of the two or both headsets.

Best Buy has a decent bundle deal for the PS VR right now that includes download codes for PS Worlds, Skyrim, Astro Bot, Resident Evil, and Everybody's Golf for $200. This kind of has me leaning in the PS VR direction.

What do you guys think?

I pondered the same thing for awhile but wanted to demo VR before I spent the money. Found out after trying a friends PS4 VR I was one of those folks who get nausea from VR. Very neat tech but sadly not for me. 

I know who you got them from and I talked to him about them before you acquired them! Your secret is safe!!  

I went to several panels at PRGE this year and I can this was by far the most enjoyable for me. Nice work putting this together @Archon 1981. It was a pleasure getting to meet you.

I've had this for years since I last worked retail.  Just a cool bit of swag that I finally got around to scanning into a pdf.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  This is from SEGA's 32X/Saturn era with some retailer newsletters at the end that I though was kind of a cool snapshot of where SEGA was at in the early 90's.

Thank you for sharing this! You don't happen to have or have seen literature that contained POP for Sega? Signs, banners, standees, etc. I have yet to see anything. Nintendo's stuff is largely available but Sega has been impossible.

A nice lil wafer defect you have there. 

I have been exploring Neo Geo via my modded Wii on a CRT with component in and I must say Neo Geo really kicks ass. Not much exposure to the system until this month. I get why people love it.
