  1. When I left you, I was but the learner. Now, I am the master...of Public Administration. :). Final paper in last night! After nearly 2.5 years of full time work and school I am done with my MPA program. I'm very excited to be getting some free time back. I have no idea what I'll do with it but there will definitely be some space for Atari!

      WOW! A tremendous accomplishment. For what it's worth....I'm proud of you!

      Thanks a lot, everyone!

  2. I am considering an upgrade for the new Mass Effect. PS4 or PS4 Pro?

  3. What version of Pac-Man are you playing for Atari National Pac-Man Day? I'm going to go with the homebrew versions of Jr. Pac-Man and Super Pac-Man on the 7800!

      I like the Pac-Man 8k homebrew for 2600.

      What day is that? I'd play the 5200 version. My top favorite.

      It's today! In 1882, Atari had a huge promo for the release of PacMan on April, 3.

  4. I'm still here. It's been crazy with work, school and family the last few weeks. Expect updates to "Vs. Cartoon Intros" and my personal blog this weekend!

      Agreed. I'ma huge fan of the Chronicles and Legends books. The War of Souls was also cool. The cartoon movie was bad though

  10. I'm wrapping up the end of the independent study portion of my graduate program. I can see the finishline but with the due date approaching I'm hitting a wall. More than 100 pages in and I'm running out of words. I also really want to play Iron Soldier 2...Maybe an hour of play time for every two hours of writing until I'm done? That seems responsible.

      That is what I was taught in college...let your mind have a break. You can actually overdo it.

    3. Sabertooth

      Yeah, I think you guys are right. Maybe I should pick something a little more zen than IS2!

      It's true outside of school too. At work, I've gotten stuck on a technical problem and stopped to go take a walk. And then while walking, BOOM...the answer just comes to me.

  11. My 1950's stove just wiped out my gaming budget for a few months. Oh well, the damn thing looks like a Cadillac. Why do I love old stuff?

  12. Playing Rebooteroids!

  13. Scored a nice condition Gemini with 2 controllers for $20! I can live with not having a box.

      Good to know. I'll have to pick up a Genesis too! ;)

      Man I'm jealous! I'd love to have a Gemini. I just dig the controllers.

      Ooops!

       

      Man, a Gemini for $20 is a STEAL! Nicely done.

       

  14. It took the whole work week, but I'm finally feeling back in my own time zone. Nine hours is a tough adjustment.

  15. The Odyssey2 is hard to fully disassemble...

      I read this in Johnny Five's voice.

  16. That moment when you hear "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" at the end of a round of Moonsweeper.

  17. Hot as heck at the SoCal Retro Gaming Expo

      Most things were above eBay pricing. I grabbed three controllers, Vampire Hunter on Saturn and Wing Commander IV on PS1. If you're interested, you can see the write up under the Events & Clubs subforum.

      It's hard to believe there are venues that DON'T have AC.

       

  18. Birthday weekend and I have 25 pages standing between me and a beer. Why did I wait this long to go back to school?

  19. Excited to be able to pop back on here again. I have three weeks until my schedule gets nuts again. Looking forward to some gaming after work.

      Welcome back, Kotter.

       

  20. My best friend - not a gamer - is in Tokyo on business. He wrote that he's popping into Super Potato to see if he can find something for me. Last year he brought me home a Famicom. I can't wait to see what he picks up this year.

      It is a boxed and minty Japanese launch Saturn. Not rare but cool to have.

  21. So my daughter is signing commitment papers for college. Might have to ease up on collecting for the next 20 years.

      Congrats! When she graduates, tell her you expect that she'll keep you in the lifestyle you've become accustomed to.

      I'm in year 2 of your boat. It's been OK so far.

  22. So I'm setting up to play Hover Strike:UL on the Takara Dynovisor and my wife says, "That's why you're being so nice to me. You were trying to make it hurt less when you drag that thing out. It's never going to be ok." I feel like the Dynovisor is my "leg lamp." I only wish I had won it as a major award.

      One of my wife's former colleagues in NYC posted a pic of her fiancée wearing his new HTC Vive in the living room with a comment about how she can't believe she's marrying someone who bought this thing. I sense a lot of battles across the globe on the horizon. Is this what will kill VR in 2016?

      lol that's hilarious! =D

  23. 20 more pages and I'm done with this class. Looking forward to getting back to the Squad Challenge and trying my hand at Stargate.Time to break out the Starplex.

      Thanks, Row! 23 pages turned in this morning. Now I have one week before it starts all over again. Time to cram in some Atari between work and sleep. On second thought, sleep is overrated. ;)

  24. Why can't this presentation create itself???

      If it did, it wouldn't have the desired outcome!

       

  25. I just got a "broken" Sears Video Arcade 4-switch, boxed with 23 games, two controllers and paddles. I wonder if its really broken. Watch for pictures in the restoration threadlater this week...
