Agreed. I will probably buy after the initial spike. Or maybe a little on initial offering, then a bunch more if it has the usual post IPO lull.

I am. And Ethereum and Bitcoin Cash. I'm going to increase to 5-10% of my portfolio. It seems like every big bank and business will jumping in soon.

I love Square as a long hold. Cash App is growing like crazy and houses a huge percentage of American's Bitcoin. This is only my second foray into metals and a stupid one at that. I just got the day trading bug. I didn't cash out at the peak though and now the stock is even for me. I will probably just get out and move to the next fun-bucks stock.

I still haven't played it, but I totally forgot it was a PS3 release

I think we've got stability. I don't think there is going to be another huge crash (maybe 25% drop when SEC starts regulating heavily). I think it's just going to steadily rise like the stock market now. I do think there is still time to get in though.

This is exactly how I was expecting this to go.

It's like that episode of the Office when they're waiting for the screen saver to hit the corner. 14/15... So close!

Not gonna lie, I legitimately love the original Game Fuel (aka Citrus Cherry soda/pop, not the new stuff). I research it every year hoping it will come back.

So far so good. Bought a big chunk at $7 and it's up to $7.23 right now. I'm riding this one to the moon! I also finally invested in Square. Both Square and PayPal are beloved by analysts and should be huge growth stocks in the next 5 years. Definitely good long holds. UPDATE: Also, I noticed some unusual activity on Denison Mining on Friday, but the stock has no obvious value so I didn't buy. It shot up 35% today again so I got in at $1.45. Apparently uranium has been surging and they mine it. This one's a true gamble, so I don't recommend anyone buy, but I'll keep you updated.

I think you nailed it. I don't think they'll discuss Switch Pro at this event, but I do think it is coming this year. Maybe an announcement in Summer. This is gonna be awesome.

Did you figure out any of the super quick solutions? There are a couple puzzles which have alternate methods that the developers didn't intend, but were so clever that they left them in. The commentary for that game is great.

This was an easy one. Hard to beat Take on Me, one of the best pop songs ever written. New Radicals, Foster, and the Divinyls were my other choices.

I'll dig out my portable hard drives and check out file sizes tonight. I'll also throw them up on the big screen to make sure I'm not selling you on a dream. I'm VERY picky about video quality and I remember them looking great after compression. I tried a ton of different algorithms and compression ratios until I found what worked best for me.

I may have missed my chance. Not sure if it will climb back to $6 again today. Thankfully, I have a nice nest egg from my time in the Army when I saved a ridiculous amount of money during deployment, so I've got some fun money for individual stocks. I don't stupidly gamble it away though. I have stop losses in place to mitigate negatives.

I've got 1,850 shares, so a cash out at 10% would be about a grand in profit for me. Easy money right there.

@RH, looks like AMC is over $6 in early trading. I'm seriously considering dumping it and taking my small profit.

Looks like more big players are going to jump into crypto this year. I've decided to make it a small, but real part of my portfolio, maybe 5%. It seems likely the bubble will burst when we see more regulation, but I think it will bounce back quickly as crypto ETFs are formed and the big banks get in. And if it does burst, that's just an opportunity to lower my cost basis. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-13/morgan-stanley-may-bet-on-bitcoin-in-150-billion-investment-arm

You can knock down Blu-Ray file size significantly with essentially no loss in quality using free compression programs. I did this prior to deployment so I could take more movies with me. I think I got most of them down to about 10% of their original size. I'd be happy to look into it more if you're interested.

I haven't seen it in years, but I remember it being fantastic so I went with 9/10. Never seen Infernal Affairs and probably never will.

I'll throw in a vote for the Uncharted trilogy, specifically the first one. Other than that, I think it's definitely the most forgettable PlayStation generation.

I dug a bit more into The Medium on XSX. It's a very cool game which is genuinely creepy at times (sadly it also has some cheap jump scares). At its heart, it's basically a walking simulator with light adventure/action/stealth elements, but some of the design choices elevate it above the standard fair. The Giger-inspired Spirit Realm is fantastic and the split screen stuff creates some cool tension. Also, the voice work, sound design, and music are all top notch. Definitely not for everyone, but I love this type of B-movie, mid-budget game with a lot of heart.

Contra 4 is the best Contra game that is not original Contra. It is fantastic and the way it uses the DS screens is genius.

Muahahaha. I must have them all! Just kidding. But the Dreamcast and every console before it are definitely on the hit list. I'm also eyeing those Wii U and Gamecube libraries.

I did one more low score run today, but still only made it to Stage 8 and managed to get 19810. I never tried a higher score run to see if I could just finish the game. I look forward to giving it another shot next year. Only downside to the low score challenge is levels 4-6 where you literally have to wait around for several minutes to get rid of the time bonus. Other than that (and the general difficulty of the later stages), this was a pretty good challenge.

My first Switch import, the Aleste Collection. I don't have any particular fondness for Aleste, but I wanted to complete my Game Gear Micro collection. The family's finally all together! I also grabbed the new SMB Amiibo and Super Mario 3D World which I've always wanted to play. And of course more Sega CD, 32X, and Genesis stuff. Big thanks to @final fight cd.
