Being too tired to do anything productive yet still being unable to sleep no matter how much time I spend in bed. Why does this happen.

not sure, to be honest. I had a special affection for the 7800 and 32X libraries since I had/loved those systems growing up, but there aren't many other small libraries that I have that feeling about. I do have a mostly-complete Virtual Boy set, but meh.

If anything I may just focus more on the pinball stuff for a while. I still have the goal of acquiring a physical copy of every video pinball game made, and I think I'm probably down to the last 10-20% or so...

Netflix seems to be having issue with subtitles on the Wii for whatever reason the option has disappeared in the menu :P. Kind of sucks seeing as the only netflix capable system I keep in my room is a spare wii which I mainly use just for streaming. Plus I was planning on finishing up the last three episodes of Tri-gun tonight in the comfort of my bed. Hopefully whatever the issue is resolves itself soon :P.

Was really worried at first that the subs had been dropped altogether for some random reason but the option still shows up on the PC :P. Hopefully they have fixed it by now.

Edit: Contacted their support and it looks like it will be fixed in the next day or two.

Very nice work! It's nice to see you finish off another set!

Despite the fact that I do not yet have a system that will play them, I started collecting 7800 games this weekend when I encountered a small lot of them in a bin of $1 games. I don't think I will try to acquire a complete set, but I am interested in the library.

EDIT: I am tempted to bid on this lot, but the holidays are coming up (and I have probably spent too much this month anyway...).

Smile: Was interviewing for a job position, and the course of the conversation led to a Chris Hanson "have a seat over there" reference.

Smile: My Pirates are 4-1 with their only loss being a close one to Duke at Cameron Indoor. That's impressive.

Smile: South Park party tonight. There will be beverages, pot pies and cheesy poofs.
