    RickR got a reaction from Justin in Star Wars - Video of all changes made to Episode IV   
    I found this excellent article that outlines all the changes made to "A New Hope" over the years in two great videos.

    And the two videos:

    RickR got a reaction from Lost Dragon in The Walking Dead   
    I've been meaning to start watching since it first aired...but sadly have not.  For a couple of reasons:
     
    1.  My wife will not watch with me (she hates gore).
    2.  Zombie genre seems so tired to me.
     
    One of these days, if I get some spare time, I'll give this show a shot though.

    I might not get the same love back, but im a big fan of Doom 64. I got it the day it came out and played non stop with buddies. Many sleepless nights with that game

    RickR reacted to Atari Adventure Square in Doooooooooooooom!   
    The original Doom was the first game that prompted rejiggered memory handling and stacks on my 386's MS-DOS.
    Once that framerate went up, it was like discovering new land and it indeed colonized my mind space, increasingly, throughout the years afterwards.
     
    As for sound, the ID masterpiece and its follow-up brought us new appreciation for good pc speakers, and the Doom 2 soundtrack is on a loop in the Metal cellar of my brain.
     
    Ultimately, though, after wading through WADs and playing this game for years on end after it became old news (was still on a Doom binge when Halo came out) I took to listening to weekly shows on a side-eye while re-playing maps and exploring dungeons and enjoying loud weaponized killstreaks while Law and Order adjourned in the background.
     
    This is how I know remember my Doom days, as this thread re-ammoed my brain.
     
    Also, this is one game franchise I ended up purchasing on every platform I ever had.
    Proudly bought it last year on Steam, to cycle back to PC ground.
    I'd be curious to see if map-making tools have improved for it.

    RickR got a reaction from Starbuck66 in RetroEngine Sigma Mini Video Game Console - Have you seen this?!   
    Agree.  I know it's just a Rasp Pi, but someone else has done all the hard work and it comes with a cool little case.  One could easily use this as the engine for an arcade cabinet. 
     
    Having set up a Rasp Pi emulation unit myself, I can tell you...for $60 if it's all set up for you...that's a bargain.

    That was fun!  What kind of snow tires do you all use?  Studded?  Looked like no slipping at all.
