Todays goodwill finds. Was super excited to find mecha Godzilla. Then right under him was a smaller Godzilla I almost over looked. 
This Godzilla is kinda cool it has a ball in its stomach that you can control its tail with

So after 1 year and 4 months later (and me forgetting about this thread 😖),  here's the current setup in the gameroom! 
 





 

Got this in the mail today! Thanks to rockyraccoon. This thing works great and I cant wait to play some of the greats on this thing. 
First things first though I need to hunt down a battery cover

You think the caution label scares you? There used to be a shop at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas that sold all kinds of hot sauces. For certain sauces, you'd actually have to sign a release for the State of Nevada before they'd allow you to purchase!

So I'm just curious does everyone here enjoy hot sauces? If so what is your go to hot sauce that you need to always have a bottle of? 
Mine has to be valentina (black label) but lately I've really enjoyed El Yucateco's green habanero sauce. 
Now when it comes to other hot sauces. How hot do you like them? Long story short I think I have been eating too much hot sauce lately and I cant feel any heat from the normal hot sauces or even the "XXX" hot sauces. So I have been watching "Hot Ones" on youtube (great show if you havent seen it) 
And I just bought a couple of the really insane hot sauces that I saw on the show off amazon. DA' Bomb came first in the mail and I had to get some friends over.  DA' Bomb has a scoville level of 135,600. In comparison a regular bottle of Tabasco is 700 scoville units. So we grilled up some chicken and tried it out. This is definitely not your normal hot sauce! My tongue was on fire! It was hot but still I wasnt screaming and running around like all my friends were. So I felt I needed more. 
So today in the mail I got Blair's Mega Death Sauce with Liquid Rage. This one comes in at 500,000 Scoville units and maybe this one will give me the sting I need. Probably gonna get everyone together again this weekend to try it out. I'm gonna have some milk on the side ready to be used!
 
So again this is one of my things i love and I'm just curious about everyone here. Do you like hot sauce? Do you not? If so how hot have you gone before?

I've seen this brand and sauce at my grocery store, but the "CAUTION" on the label scares me away.  Next time it's on sale, I'll give it a shot.

This was mentioned by someone on the AtariAge FB group, but someone also tagged me to tell me about it as well. It has been a long time since I bought anything from a thrift store, but one of these from the local Salvation Army...

 
Now resides here...

... at the Ivory Tower Collections game room.

So, Dad and I were out in town running an errand, when we spotted a thrift store we'd never seen before. (I'm assuming it must be fairly new.)
Went in, didn't find much at first. I was looking for video games, only found a couple PS2 titles, some old PC games, and one single PSP game. Also found a USB floppy disk drive from Sony, which I snapped up.
Anyway, we were about to leave, and I'd brought everything to the counter, when I suddenly remembered I hadn't checked the toy section. I go over to the toy shelf, spotted FIVE Easy Bake Ovens (jeez), and was about to go back to the counter, when I looked down at the floor.
There it was... A NINTENDO 64. I couldn't believe my eyes! I grabbed it up, ran to the two cashiers, who was ringing up my other stuff, and said, "This, too! I gotta have it!" The younger cashier and I talked about Goldeneye and Mario Kart.
The N64 cost a grand total of $4, included the power brick, AND IT WORKS.
Now I just need a controller.

Depends on the sauce, really. There's a thai restaurant near where I work (in fact, I had dinner with TrekMD there once ) -- I'll use any and all hot sauces they have there. But I'm not one of those hot sauce people who has to look for the hottest of the hot. I like a little pick-me-up.

No hot sauce for me thanks !!! anything hotter than a bar-b-Que potato chip is WAY to spicy for me !
Every once in a while I will do a tiny dip of salsa if available eating tortilla chips from a mexican resturant. mild is ok and will try a bigger scoop if not to spicy.

Yea I used to eat that stuff alot. I got tired of it though. I change up sauces alot. I like to try all different kinds. There are some sauces that are a little weak on the heat but have amazing flavors

I gotta say I love the creative labeling with bombs, skulls, and flames. 

I know a lot of people like you that love the hot sauces.  But sadly, I'm what you'd call a wuss-mouth.  The hottest I'll go is the old standard Rooster Sriracha.  At my age, the hot stuff almost always causes pain a few hours after consumption

Can't say I do.  I've never been much of a fan of adding hot sauces to my food.  But I don't like food to hot or spicy either.

Did a trade for a Camo-Blue Neo Geo Pocket Color with some Japanese Slot Machine Game and Pac-Man for a TRS-80 Color Computer 2 with 16k Ram. Trade went smooth on my end. Unit got sent out, and I got my package safe, sound and working! Would recommend. Quick, easy trade-- communicative. 

I use a webcam for taking screenshots.  I usually have to take about 7 to 10 pictures just to get a score that is somewhat visible.  What doesn't help is the software used with the webcam has a 3 second timer and I have not found a way to turn that feature off.  So it's like hit the snapshot button...3...2...1...wait for the image to process.  Did I get it?  ARGGGG!  My webcam can see the vertical blank on CRTs but it slowly scrolls to the top and can cover up the scores.  Very annoying.  I need to charge up my 1999 Sony digital camera now that I found some new floppies to use in it.  It didn't suffer from that issue. 

Ok just hooked it up and It looks like it works! Dang it's hard to take a good pic of a crt tv screen

What I've noticed by using the automated ordering kiosks is that you can buy a toy all by itself for $2.  Seems like a great deal if you don't want the food. 
 

Yea since me going on a diet I have sworn off most fast food places. I havent eaten McDonald's in probably about a year or so. Buut if they come out with some Mario toys this year. You bet I'll have to go to them but only to get the toys. That food messes me up now

I don't have many McDonald's toys in my collection, but I did get the Mario one hitting the yellow box from this set.  My gf works at a thrift store and brought it home one day.
I also have a red koopa shell that you pull back and let go and it runs across the floor for a bit.  Think it's also a McDonald's thing, but not quite sure.
