What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

^I've never worked at a grocery store, but for some reason I've memorized sku's of produce over the years.

It always provides a laugh when a cashier asks "What the...what is this?" and you provide them with the sku.

I think you just cemented yourself as one-of-a-kind right there.

Lemons, 4014. These things you need to know.

I have no clue if he's right XD I'll have to check when I go in oh and remembered another one 4664 vine ripened tomatoes(with the vine still on)

Smile: Mjmjr25 helping me out with some consolized arcade system knowledge. Has me thinking about picking up the hobby.

Frown: Started the hobby with an ebay search for arcade PCBs. Saw prices. Looking for new hobby.

Sometimes I think about collecting MVS and/or CPS games.

But yeah, I see the prices and realize that for one of those games I could buy like 10 Genesis games instead.

This is why you grab games never released on consoles, or butchered in console ports.
Games like, Outfoxies, Golden Axe Revenge of Death Adder, Battle Circuit, Ninja Baseball Batmen, Viper Phase 1, and so on. Heck we had a topic it on it not to long ago: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... =6&t=32595

If you limit yourself to a handful of really quality games, you will not be disappointed in your purchase. I am not a fan of superguns, but when I had a Dynamo Jamma cab functioning, we would rotate out PCBs every few weeks and even though we only had four or five, everyone loved it. Sadly my Astro still needs a monitor repair and I cannot find anyone within 400 miles to fix it.

Viper Phase 1

That is such a fun shmup. I remember playing it at a local Wal-Mart back when that company was just a mid-western retailer.

.....

During a game hunt this morning, I found copies of Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles (PSP), LittleBigPlanet (PSP), and Midway Arcade Treasures (PSP), but there was something wrong with each one. (Castlevania was missing it manual; LittleBigPlanet had a Greatest Hits disc; and Midway Arcade Treasures was missing its disc entirely.)

I found all three in complete condition - along with Smart Bomb (PSP) - at the Goodwill Computer Works store! (Additionally, I found only those games. It was kind of wierd, actually...)

Holy shit the NBA is full of idiots.

Here's how I think it will play out:

Sterling gets banned, sued, is forced to sell team.

Sterling sells team for around 300 million usd, laughs his way to the bank.

Sterling sues NBA, pockets another 10 million, recoups all losses, laughs his way to the bank.

Sterling sues estranged wife, pockets more cash, laughs his way out of the bank.

NBA changes its rules concerning its rights to privacy, Sterling laughs for the sake of laughing.




Mavericks outspoken owner Cuban said "Taking what someone says in their own home and using it against them...that's a slippery slope".


Not defending the dude, but man oh man. Imagine what our President says behind closed doors.

I'll do you one better...went to the kangaroo express and decided what the heck I'll stop in the good will to see if they have anything decent. Almost picked up the simpsons hit and run game....it was only the case with the artwork no game no manual (I almost picked up a few other things I saw and wanted but I restricted myself to a wireless guitar that i'll have to clean the corrosion out of)

I wouldn't count on that one. Otherwise, I think you are spot on.

Anything you say can and will be used against you. You think it would be obvious, but the police have to remind people of this fact every time they make an arrest.

This reminds me of something that makes me smile

The TV show, "Cops". Countless hours spent. Every one worth it.

That was such a great show, and it is a fantastic way to learn about the criminal justice system (without, you know, getting arrested or going to court).
