Hear me out, Santa deniers: if Santa isn’t real, why do the presents you get on Christmas say “From: Santa” on them? It just doesn’t add up…

Clearly you missed this court case. Since the United States Government declares this man to be Santa Claus, this court will not dispute it. Case dismissed.
Justice was served.

I don’t care what anyone thinks of me but as far as I am concerned now is an appropriate time to put up Christmas decorations.
-
I usually do that after Halloween. And I listen to Christmas music throughout the year.
-
I just got new outdoor Christmas lights installed. I upgraded to LED bulbs, so I should be able to leave them on for longer periods and not see a big bump in the electricity bill. I haven't turned them on yet though. I'll probably turn them on in a week or two.

I noticed this a few months ago, but suddenly Sears Haunted House carts CIB started going for well over $100. It’s gone down a bit, but I think it’s still around that mark.

Happy Month of Metroid, everyone! Today was my first day at school and tonight I finished the first blog for the month! You'll see it at Noon on Friday the third. Have a great day and ONLY 37 DAYS UNTIL METROID DREAD!!!!
-
I’ve been absent for a week or so because I was on a fishing trip on the Chippewa Flowage! And guess what? I didn’t have a single bite! It was still fun though.

Our combined total of the seven of us (my family plus grandparents and uncle) was two fish.

Month of Metroid is officially coming to my blog next month! Do you guys like Metroid too?

Metroid Fusion is a lot of fun. It’s linear enough to be good for a portable game yet has plenty of exploration too. The new game is a direct sequel to Fusion. It’s about time!
-
I enjoy Metroid, but I haven't played it in a while. It's pretty fun. :O)
-
I haven't played it enough to form an opinion on Metroid, but of course, it's considered a classic. Having said that, platform games beyond the complexity of Mario Bros. (especially Metroidvania types) sadly are not my thing. I do have many of them though because I want to try them but I don't gravitate towards them naturally.
-
Thank you all for one wonderful year on the IO! It’s been a pleasure meeting you all. Here’s to many more years.

@socrates63 We should celebrate by… playing Atari!

Suggestion: Asteroids level 8/a!

I’m game.

Anybody have Atari Flashback Classics for switch? I just got it from the library. I’d love to play some online Atari with you guys!

Yeah. Avoid the “lite” model.

Yup, dad and I just got it. Down to play!

“Summer! It turns me upside down. SUMMER! It’s like a merry-go-round!” Every time i hear the word “summer”, I’ll always think of the song Magic by The Cars. My summer of 2017 was fueled by their greatest hit compilation. I listened to that thing on cassette 24/7 (this was back before my Walkman broke). Sadly, I never really listened to any of their actual albums and I still haven’t. I do have that greatest hit collection on CD nowadays, though. I ought to listen to that for a nostalgia trip soon.

I would have to go with Ric, as most if not all of those songs on that cassette featured him on lead vocals. He had such a distinct voice.
I almost picked up a Cars album once a few years ago at the record store, but decided against it for whatever reason. I’ll have to borrow some from the library or something and listen to more of their stuff sometime.
-
Interesting. When I (and they) were young, I preferred Ric too. But as I aged, Benjamin Orr is my favorite. I remember being so sad and shocked when he passed away too young. Let's see...just from memory: "Just What I Needed", "It's All I Can Do". OK, I think I know what will be on my playlist this weekend.
There's no right/wrong answer. They both are great.
I never did see The Cars live. Maybe they were part of one of the big "Live Aid" shows? But that was on TV, so doesn't count. I'm glad you brought this up, as it's good to remember. -
If your library has some, you should. These guys were one of the great bands that pulled New Wave music more into the mainstream.
-
What happened to the Squad Challenges? Is everything okay? I've noticed we haven't had one in months and I'm a little concerned. Is Justin okay?

First things first! We don't mind.

@HDN, all is fine, as far as I know. But this is a reminder: As in life in general, enjoy the good while it's there. Take care of friends -- even just to say hello. I think we all know full well that life is full of ups and downs. People like you and me must keep the IO spirit alive while the boss is busy.
-
Thanks, Gianna, for telling us about Justin. We were concerned about him. :O)
-
Does anyone here have a Nintendo DSi that is not in working order? If so, please DM me and we may be able to work something out. My system has a faulty battery and the one I ordered off Amazon doesn’t work. I’d rather source one from an original system than risk Amazon again. Thanks.
-
Please excuse me if I haven't been posting as often as I used to recently. Life has been in the way a little bit. Being back in school and all, I don't have as much free time as I used to! Expect more HDN posts once the school year is over.
-
I've become addicted to Animal Crossing: Wild World on the DS... again! What do you guys think of the game? Have you ever played it? Have you ever played ANY Animal Crossing game (please do if you haven't)?
I'm thinking of blogging about one of the AC games soon. New Leaf is one of the most sacred games to me, along with Super Metroid and Luigi's Mansion.

My unocart came! Yay!

Defeat is at hand!

Listeners of the Atari 2600 Game by Game Podcast may know that the 200th episode was released the other day. There were a few contests and giveaways from different people to mark the occasion, and I was fortunate enough to win one of them. My prize? A beautiful 2600 Unocart. You all have no idea how amazing this is! Now I can play ALL my 2600 games on original hardware! To a broke teenager like myself, this is amazing. I'm very fortunate. Thanks to Doug for hosting the giveaway, and congrats to the two other winners!
-
That is awesome! Congrats. The UnoCart is really good, and I'm sure you're going to love it. And Doug Venner is a really great and nice person. Make sure to subscribe to his YouTube channel. I like his videos a lot, and he deserves a lot more subscribers.
Tip: Get the Rom Hunter pack of roms here: http://www.atarimania.com/rom_collection_archive_atari_2600_roms.html
I'm sure you already have them all, but this pack is special because they are pre-arranged in logical folders and will be usable on the UnoCart (or Harmony) just by unzipping to an SD card.

I’m already subscribed! You’re right though, he has some very good videos there.
What’s all in the Rom Hunter pack? Just released games or home brews as well?
