He said something like "Wow! Imagine how much money a person could make if they kept their original Atari games! Those things are worth a fortune these days." I thought about telling him that I have about 100 Atari 2600 games sitting at home and that I'm not sitting on a gold mine because they're worth about a buck apiece. But I just kinda chuckled and nodded and then strolled to the back of the store to look for some cases of Shasta.

So you're going to wait until he comes across some at a garage sale and pays $5 each, then posts them on Craigs for $40 each before you knock him down?BoneSnapDeez wrote:At Sam's Club today me and this other guy were looking at the Atari Flashback systems.

I really wish Bioware would cut the shit and just make Jade Empire 2.
Realistically, I know they'll never fucking do it, but I can still dream while I'm griping about it.

I have no doubt Bioware would love to create RPGs with completely unique settings every time they make a game. But this would necessitate the general demographic being open to thematic aesthetics outside the realms of cliche D&D fantasy or potboiler sci-fi.CFFJR wrote:I really wish Bioware would cut the shit and just make Jade Empire 2.

Battle Garegga is okay. I'd rather play a Compile NES shmup.
