We Sold almost all of our physical silver ages ago. At our companies peak we had about 38,000 ozt. Of it in inventory. These says I think we’ve got 500 ozt just as a memento from the business we shuttered. Either way, Reddit idiots aren’t saying buying silver. Not sure where the news is getting that info from ... Reddit is saying the guys who have the most to lose in GameStop own a lot of silver though and that this is a media campaign to manipulate the market to get some money in their pockets to soften the blow.

@fcgamer I love you, you know that, and I know you’re passionate about 60-pin the same (if not more) as I am about 72-pin. You and I are supposed to figure out a way to marry the two and unite the libraries eventually. But you gotta be understanding of other peoples terminology and put it in front of your own sometimes, even if your own is the proper term. I don’t go around saying NWC Gold is a legitimate release anymore despite believing it. Hell, Nintendo Power giving away Dragon Warrior 1 lends more credit to that theory! I also don’t go around saying Stadium Events = WCTM anymore unless it’s a “joke” and I actually own one again. I hate bootlegs and counterfeits of all kinds because it’s sews doubt in the history of items and makes my job as an archivist harder. There’s an entire slew of categories for these things and because it ties up into unlicensed territory it muddies the waters for me...and because 4 tengen games tie up into licensed and various Activision games tie up into Brazil unlicensed it makes it worst. What I’m trying to say is, I agree with you but you can attract more bees with honey than vinegar.

If you dig hard enough there are some really high resolution photos of the NWC circuit board, and an ungodly high quality scan of the NWC Gold label....something like 1200 dpi. I also have to disagree with @DefaultGen. Remember that NWC Gold #27 and #28 “allegedly” exist out there. Though it’s easy to fabricate a gold if you sacrifice a grey. Other easy five figure conversion scam: buy a glossy sticker SMB, remove the sticker and transfer a cheap matte Gyromite or Duck Hunt sticker over to it...that is if there’s zero difference in the printing. Still never had a chance to scan a matte SMB yet We’re at a point that it’s worth it, and Game collecting already HAS a history with duping people into paying big money for counterfeits. NWC, Neo Geo are the current targets. But Stadium Events is another low hanging fruit.

I thought the first generation of these fakes when they inevitably popped up would use the "proper" chips with the wrong date codes. But they skipped an entire step. There's still a couple more iterations to perfection but man am I happy that I at least verified 85 copies publicly and a couple more privately before this popped up. I will start to scrutinize a lot more from now on.

@Bearcat-Doug Delete that info please. It's good information to use against them.

Yerp I'm also removing the number list publicly. Only available to current owners and they have to prove they own it before they gain access. I'd like to catch this guy actually passing it off.

Nope. I just recently started calling PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and Game Boy Advance “Retro” Maybe midway on this generations of games I’ll start calling PS3, 360, Wii, DS/DSi, and PSP “Retro” But for now, they’re just outdated, obsolete, or deprecated game platforms. Still some solid libraries though!

What is the “right” approach to reviewing a retro game?
ThePhleo replied to GPX's topic in The Gauntlet
We're entering weird territory here. Monke brain work better when it comes to review since It's the only way to be 100% honest and upfront. Here are the six levels of Monke Game Review. ★★★★★ - Best game. Play whole life, always fun. ★★★★☆ - Good game. Play frequently. ★★★☆☆ - Okay game. Play once. ★★☆☆☆ - Not Okay game. Play halfway. ★☆☆☆☆ - Not Good game. Play little. ☆☆☆☆☆ - Worst Game. No play. I'll gladly compare Pong to Super Mario Bros. 3 to Overwatch to Fortnite to Cyberpunk 2077 ★☆☆☆☆ Pong ★★★★★ Super Mario Bros. 3 ★★★★☆ Overwatch ★★★☆☆ Fortnite ★☆☆☆☆ Cyberpunk 2077 ... Here's some extras ☆☆☆☆☆ Cheetahmen II ★★☆☆☆ Faceball ★★★★☆ River City Ransom ★★★★★ Banjo Kazooie ★★★★☆ Donkey Kong Country 2 ☆☆☆☆☆ Superman 64 -

The more cartoony the bottle the more I avoid it. I can eat almost any spicy food and I hate ultra hot sauce who’s only trick is being hot. If I want my tongue to burn I’ll just go and spray my tongue with battery acid. But my tongue wants flavor. Want a fun hot sauce based drink recipe? Step 1: glass of ice Step 2: lemon juice from 1/2 a lemon Step 3: 4x large pitted olives with pimento Step 4: teaspoon of olive juice Step 5: cup of selzter Step 6: 2 tablespoons of tobasco

Indeed you were. next time though! @DefaultGenis my personal financial advisor, I always tell him when I do stupid financial moves. Speaking of which, I bought 20 something shares in AMC buddy. If it goes to $250 And I sell in time I’m buying us a trip to Vegas when this is over and we’ll see which one of us is the Galifinakis. Just make sure you let the podcast guys know I’m stealing their main star.

This. i made a couple hundred bucks last night. @DefaultGen was my good Angel on my shoulder and influenced me to sell at $0.075 I plan on using that profit to buying in again when it drops to $0.005 - $0.01 again. Memes make money.... just gotta wait to be relevant again.

You can stuff more Oreos in less time if they soaked in milk

Seems the only way around it is to buy options and immediately claim the stock. That is of course if you want 100. You can probably sell your spare but you still need like $35000 to start

So that ringleader dude just posted HES still in. He’s clearly posting immediately after hours and is a pied piper...when he sells it will be too late for everyone else

So many memes. We’re +69% today. Memes make dreams I guess.

(sorry I had to) I’m up to 5 GME, 20 AMC, and 0.0420 TSLA. Wish I had more play money too but I won’t risk real money since I too might become a

I don’t know about that. metals are crazy right now. I’m getting $2.08/lb. for mixed range brass when I normally get $1.25 - $1.40 for it. I know a correction is coming soon and it sucks because I got “used to” this new price and all the extra expendable cash that comes with it. Then again, silver is undervalued compared to gold. But maybe gold is too high instead of silver being too low.

I forgot that memes got Trump the presidency....

That's the thing. We have no idea what we're doing, and we're being led by people who *think* they know what they're doing, who are all being manipulated by a couple of guys who *definitely* know what they're doing. Hi, my name is @ThePhleo and I have no idea what I'm doing, and I helped crashed the stock market.
