    StormSurge got a reaction from Smell Dawg in What was the first thing you ever bought on eBay?   
    Wow, great question!
    I've been a member since October 5, 1998.
    I'm pretty sure it was some vintage Star Wars figures. I remember losing a bid at the last second & being devastated. I'm pretty sure I sent a message to the seller asking if he had more or knew someone who did, etc.
    The site continues to be where any of my limited disposable income goes to die. 💸

    I usually always miss out on presales for popular items but I’m buying the lede. 
    The most amazing thing about this is that I somehow managed to keep a $400 gift card balance on Amazon for over a year, specifically for this purpose. 
    I still have time to increase that amount & have it fully paid for by shipping time. 

    This will be my first launch console since the Dreamcast. I’m not overly excited for this as I was for the DC but I’m sure that will change as launch day approaches.

    Don't be intimidated! I'm as old as you guys & I get by just fine. It's a cliche for sure, but if I can do it, then surely ANY OF YOU can do it. 😀
    Seriously, just start slow with something simple. After playing for a little bit, the controls will feel natural. You won't have to think about the sticks or the buttons.
    I remember VIVIDLY being intimidated by the NES controller the first time I saw it. TWO BUTTONS??? What are these arrows?? That was the last time.
    Great find sir! Enjoy!

    I've always wanted to do a retro themed tree. The last few years I've traveled back home so I didn't even decorate. This year with COVID that was out so I decided to grab scissors, some glue and poster board and make a PAC tree in honor of the 40 year anniversary of the original game!
    The tree is 7.5-8' tall and I have about 50 pac characters from the games and other media. I bought foam balls and spray paint from the craft store for the blue and yellow balls and made the garland from construction paper. I'm pretty happy with the results!

    We move slowly in the RickR household.  Yesterday, a tree.  Today, we start adding ornaments.

    I started decorating outside today. Candy cane lights around the perimeter of the lawn. More to come later.

    StormSurge reacted to RickR in Atari PONG Mini Jr console??   
    Oh boy, @nosweargamer.  That price is way too high IMO.  I think it's a cool device, but I probably would not buy at any price due to how boring and tired Pong is for me.  I can tell you that such a device might earn at most 10 minutes of time with anyone here in my home before it became a stalemate. 

    Advice:  if you really want to play Pong, get a real authentic Atari Super Pong home console for about $50.  It has several variations and it's a little piece of history.

    They just announced the price, $129, which is too high imho, and opened the orders, which may not arrive in time for Christmas 😲👎

    StormSurge reacted to socrates63 in Do you have any pets?   
    I don't have any pets. I used to have a German Shepherd Dog back in the 90s. His passing was tough on the family, so we decided not to get another pet. It took me a year before I could look at the backyard without grieving. We still talk about him from time to time especially when we spot other GSDs.
    I love cats, dogs, and all animals. I regularly watch the Dodo channel and other animal videos on YouTube to get my fix. I hope to get a dog when I retire.
