"Kelowna Slim" at his best. 

Looks like a lot of fun.  I haven't played pool in ages.

A friend reminded me on Facebook in a comment on these pictures, I used to be quite the Bumper Pool player. Good times. 

Exactly.  It's my thought every time I think about doing another XBOX/PS2/Wii mod or creating a new Raspberry Pi build.  The desktop PC version is the easiest way to get your emulation fix. 

I was so saddened by this news. In my opinion, the Cars' self-titled is one of few perfect debut albums. It's been a lifelong favorite.  Thanks for the music, Ric!

Yeah, I figured it must still be crunching, because I don't have my blog award yet.

@- Ω - Part of the "crunch" appears to be awarding Atari I/O Members their Badges for existing achievements - once a new achievement has been reached for that action. So for example, it appears you will receive your "First Blog Entry" Badge (which you would've earned in the Spring, had our achievements system existed back then) upon completion of your next Blog entry.

Another example is users who are no longer active in our forums have not been awarded their Badges yet. It appears that the "crunching" begins for each member upon logging into the forums and engaging in these activities.

Achievements are still being "crunched" and will continue to reward past actions for loyal Members who have been active in our site for years. Most all Badges for new achievements will be awarded in real time. Also, more Badges are still baking in our Imagineering oven and will be ready soon!

I like them!

Maybe it's just me, but I don't recall a lot of accessory controllers on the SNES.  Super Scope is the only one I can think of.  I wonder if your pistol works with the super scope games too.

I agree! Always thought they could've done more with the Konami Justifier, and even more so with the Super Scope Six!

You enjoying your new, 100% real, legitimate PS5 from that contest?

Pretty sure it is an Ikea chair Rick! We bought it many years ago when we still lived in Toronto. 

Thanks Justin, very comfy! 

@MaximumRD Maybe we need new topic in the "retro" forum where we can show off all of our retro-themed clothes like what you're wearing here. Star Wars shirts, flannel pants, etc ☺️

That's a good idea.

Funny story:  One time I was getting a haircut, and the 20-something stylist said "I love that shirt.  Where did you get it, a vintage shop?"
Me:  My closet. 

Never make fun of my cabana-wear.  Never.  🙂 

Rob dunking on everybody with that Microsoft Pro Insider status 🙌

This one really shook me to my bones.  52.  That's right in my wheelhouse. 

May he rest in peace. 

Too young.  Simply too young.  I think mentally we all expect to live a long life but hearing things like this make you realize you really need to live everyday to the best quality you can.  My heart, prayers, and sympathy go out to Perry's family and friends. 

@MaximumRD What is this supposed to be? I get a DNS error and can't get the site to come up.

 Poop. I just checked, no DNS error but broken from what it was when I initially posted it. Shame. For the past few months it was pretty much a multi-emulator in your browser, you know like those HDDs you can buy (or set up your own) multi-arcade and consoles emulation setup with everything from art to backgrounds to screenshots and animated previews, just select the platform, select from a large library of games and start playing. I stumbled on it a while back and even waited a couple months just to be sure it was legit and sticking around. Shame, hope it comes back at some point. It was much like this screenshot but in your browser, pre-configured, even my plugged-in gamepad just worked. Ah well, best intentions....

Very much like this but in browser, free, no weird pop ups even with adblocker off and I had checked for malicious verus etc. Seemed clean, sure it seemed to good to be true as well. I had even found someone posted a video about it. No idea how long it was previously up for. 

Here is video from 2 months ago, hopefully just down for maintenance....

I get THIS currently, let's hope it comes back eventually......

I been checking daily with no good results until now. Curiously at this moment, it redirects to

https://www.retrogames.onl/

Though nowhere near as slick or featured as when I posted the original link at least there is something to work with so I am posting here immediately as obviously there are no guarantees on how long it will remain up. 🤷‍♂️At the redirected URL (or simply go direct to the new one) choose the platform, pick a game from the alphabetized listing and lastly click PLAY NOW. 

See 3 screens below showing it working as I mentioned. 

The wedge is too cool for school. 

Yess!! Designed by the legendary Marcello Gandini! 🙌

 Gaylord Opryland resort....heh ..gaylord...wont be able to make graceland, I am going to check out the Dukes of Hazard Museum though...yeeeehaaaaw...we are not really country music fans lol 🍺😎😜

I've had that opportunity before -- to tag along with my wife on her business trip -- and it's awesome.  Enjoy.  Make sure your wife gets out to see the sights too in the evening. 

No problems there Rick, 😉 Melissa has always been THE PLANNER, a seasoned traveller who had  already covered half the globe by the time we met! So it's more like, Rob, here is our itinerary and what we will be doing 😜😂  So last night we went to downtown to BB King's blues club and today I run around the resort while she's attending conferences and we meet up later and head downtown again tonight, fun city. 🍺

Technicolor barf.
