Hey, all of that business talk reminded me of something- does anyone remember that shitshow or where it was from? Let me explain- there was some sort of a shitshow where a guy came with broken NES or a few uncommon NES games and people were negotiating and arguing about the price and 1 dude raged with the line "hey you know what, all I can do is 10 million dollars.......or 10 dollars!!!"

As much as I enjoy mine, I'm happy to start the bidding at....

....shall we say.....?     $500,000? ......

I figure I can eventually get a cold mil. for an O.G. SuperJim!  

Alternatively you can give that picture to Ric but that's only the case if she is married

We still don't know who even got the last place and that will be so hilarious if there is a tie...

Finally beat Darkman for NES for the 1st time. Now this has been in my mind to beat just for the sake of it for over 10 years and I finally pulled this off but oh my gosh it was kinda terrible. Not enjoyable and the combat is super bad and too precise. Robocop 2 from the exact same 5 designers is better, way better and a little enjoyable but Darkman truly sucked (that movie is very dope and super ridiculous and absolutely insane so this is probably the only good part about it)

Beat Darkman for the 1st time and oh my gosh it really wasn't enjoyable

I will post the final standings this weekend, but your rolled score won't be considered @BlackVega since you didn't get a pre score roll picture. Those are always mandatory when score rolling happens.

I tried to get clarification for this but either way my 500k submission is still going to be accepted instead right?

A little late, but Happy 10th Anniversary as part of the community, Skinny ( @docile tapeworm)!

I think I know for sure who "skinny" is now but don't you think everyone should have enough respect to anyone to call them by the name they chose?

To be fair I participated a few times circa 2020 or 2021. I even got these below. One day however I noticed this place went offline and after all of that nintendowage serious drama I only assumed this place was finally done for good and disappeared into oblivion forever until I randomly checked this place some time ago and noticed it magically reappeared online again

I think you posted in the wrong neighborhood club

His first act was to unban @Richardhead.

 

Free Richardhead? What did Ric do this time?? Hopefully it's not anything of the likes of "everything else" section or even worse.......

Not sure if I'm in charge of saying this or I'm allowed to share "private info" but this info is going to come out eventually so without keeping any more suspense and if anyone is still wondering I went through the verification process with the contest organizers and I was confirmed and accepted so everyone please drop your swords and part ways. This discussion is over

@BlackVega I understand. I’d like to see you not so upset. It’s tough to take a little hit to your character I understand that. But do it for me little buddy. Don’t rant and rave and get all bent. Oblige to any request and stick around and continue to play with us.

When I was asked I was steaming inside and wanted to say “fuck that keep your stupid contest. I’ll never participate again”. But who would it have hurt the most? Not me. Not my accuser. My buddy’s in here. To deprive them of skinnygrinny in the contest would be a worse act than any. 
 

come on. “Spar with me again” 

Thanks for your kind words but nah I'm not upset at this point and it doesn't put me off from playing in the future. I'm laughing right now because this thread turned into the most clownish shitshow of the year

>>>New players wins the tournament

>>>This must be a scam! I called it!!!

" If there is suspicion of a participant cheating, the contest moderators will review the case and the member may be asked to present further evidence of their score.  Further evidence includes, but is not limited to, video recordings and/or extra pictures."

Ah, my bad. I read it at some point but forgot the details. I reread everything again and I am still 100% clean. At this point I am actually officially not obligated to respond to anyone else other than contest moderators and this is what I will still do. It is OK for me now and I am still in the advantage

Also calling out other people IS specifically mentioned as being ILLEGAL on the other hand so this sort of situation should have never happened in the first place and is described as

"- If you suspect another participant of cheating, do NOT call them out in the contest threads.  Please send a PM to the contest organizers and we will review the score.  Posting accusations in the contest threads creates unnecessary drama and stress for all involved and will NOT be tolerated."

It is in fact mentioned TWICE

!- Please be a good sport while playing in the weekly contests.  While smack talk and the occasional vent are fine, please do not get carried away with it.  This includes, but is not limited to, name calling, excessive venting/complaining/whining, excessive profanity, cocky attitudes, arguing with contest moderators, accusations of cheating, cluttering threads with nonsense posts, etc.  Participants who cannot be good sports will receive a warning from me.  If your overall conduct is still considered to be in poor taste, you will be banned from the contests."

I had to provide video evidence once and it did upset me at first but in the end I let it be a badge. Like an award. 

You had to provide evidence? For what??? This sounds like some sort of a shitty obligation and this has never been mentioned ANYWHERE in the rules. Nobody is obligated to upload any shitty videos and all of this is 100% optional. Also uploading video evidence 100% doesn't matter because "it can be photoshopped by the AI". You might as well upload porn at this point for all I care...

I seriously didn't want to bring this bullshit up but I really need to get it out my chest but an elitist bastard calling someone out for the reason that the accused person is new is completely unfair. Being new does not discriminate anyone from participating........ Personally I am immune to this sort of bullshit talk or even false accusations but I can definitely imagine a newbie not ever wanting to participate in this ever. I also don't want to respond to the most silly arguments of "why did you go as far?" "why are you even doing this??" because like seriously what sort of a question even is that?? What is the point of collecting stamps, playing games for having fun, killing time and relieving stress from real or life or even better what's the point of living on this planet then??

I really don't have a clue how this works but the contest mods don't even need to be involved here but this absurd shitshow of a "conversation" has been going on for so long and if this sort of "service" is included here then OK OK let it be I have nothing to hide and the contest mods can verify all of my lifetime submissions including this one and even go as far as digging out my sludge from other threads as well if that matters anyway. Looks like this is the only solution that can be accepted here and I really don't want to respond to the most silly questions brought up by grown adults (uh.......)

I agree. I'm not a tech guy at all and don't even own a computer

How the fuck do you even used this place then, smartp oh sorry...... dumbphone?? I can't even imagine how much unergonomic hell that would be and how many times I misclick on stuff.......

He's usually okay actually, although there's been a few occasions. But yeah, sometimes he takes shit a bit too seriously.

A person who takes stuff seriously would definitely check first how the game works. I can only imagine the "very serious person" we all know who we are talking about didn't even make the slightest effort to do that and definitely preferred to destroy someone and pull out the karen card and call the manager with no ground and is now being destroyed with facts

Alright, I just threw the game in and purposely ran out of bullets, and what it does is give you one bullet back after a delay, then when you fire it, it gives you one more bullet after a delay again, and so on.  This replenishment does not happen at a fast enough rate to fight off the final boss's projectiles.  Furthermore, since it never increments you more than one free bullet, there is no way to fill up to "50" once you've used all your ammo, which would be depleted rather quickly in a drawn out battle with the final boss.

As such, the screenshots posted by BlackVega are literally impossible to accomplish without cheating if starting from 2-8, and probably impossible (due to the bullet inventory) no matter what level you begin on

I seriously can't grasp the magnitude of ignorance here where an accuser throws accusations at someone WITHOUT EVEN FACT CHECKING THINGS AT FIRST. You can literally fire up a console or an emulator and see that once you deplete all bullets you are left with a single one that always gets replenished once it is destroyed or goes out of screen, there is never a constant delay. Secondly whenever you have less than 50 bullets the game always gives you exactly 50 bullets whenever you finish a level. Literally both of these arguments CAN BE DEBUNKED AND PROVEN FALSE RIGHT THERE ON THE 1ST STAGE

After the accusing person has been proven FACTUALLY wrong he DOUBLES DOWN ON SHOWING IGNORANCE just by slamming an essay full of opinions about someone without literally any single fact whatsoever. Continuous aggression? DO you have something to hide? Why is it me, how about your scores then? Hmmmmmm very interesting, I wonder myself........

It was primarily released on PC worldwide and it was also released on PAL and Japan PS1

Aha one more annotation- I checked it in detail and it looks like it was called Relentless Twinsen's Adventure in North America and Little Big Adventure anywhere else

While scrolling the glorious land of youtub before bed I just stumbled upon something that completely counters this entire club and I figured posting just this 1 thing of these vibes might be a good idea but it's enough. Seriously this one is such a gem of this obscure genre. If you have some time on your hands go ahead but if you REALLY are eating or sick to your stomach I advise you don't watch. Either way you have been warned

Who even needs some silly icons?? Like we seriously need even more silly shit obstructing and imploding every user profile on every page and making mobile pages reading hell
