SentaiBrad said Games cost more back then because of inflation and were horrible! Yup, the first Console I owned was the Intellivision (I skipped the Atari 2600, as enough friends had 'em ), and I remember at their peak, some games costing $30! That's sort of insane, considering how puny the games were (well, relative to now), but back then, they could sell some of 'em that high. I remember the first game I saw at that price (and thinking, "Holy Crap!"). It was MicroSurgeon! (Loosely based on the movie Fantastic Voyage, with the then, 26-year-old Rachel Welch. I was 15, so that 'role-casting' was workin' for me. )

SentaiBrad said I have a PS4 now... I'm still probably going to update I had researched this months ago and couldn't find squat, so thanks for this news, Brad. SentaiBrad said ...need to buy a new car New Car??? Take the bus - you need that PS4.5!

I didn't buy the original PS3; I waited for the Slim (even though I didn't know there'd be one, at first ). That was my plan for the PS4 (I assumed there'd be one eventually), as well, and since I apparently have till the end of the year to save up for it, I thinkin' I can make it, as I only need to save $40/mo. Might have to cut my Mac&Cheese portions in half for a while, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. (If they never made a PS4.5, guess I'd be waitin' for the PS5). I wouldn't be surprised if this became a trend in Consoles. I wish they'd develop some sort of "future port", where you could unplug some older board and plug-in the new and improved hardware, instead of buying a whole new Console. But since that would likely reduce profits, I don't see it happening. P.S. Sounds as if they're goin' with AMD. I'm glad, 'cause now they'll have more money to work on their Zen CPU.

It's only 15% off the normal price, but better than nothin'. Atari Vault

Yes, it's not particularly cost-effective, but I thought the idea was kinda cool. A friend of mine back in New Hampshire heated his swimming pool with a very similar concept. He had this stuff all over the roof of his house (south-facing side, of course) that was quite similar to the sides of that PC, but it was black plastic and the channels circulating the pool water were smaller. It was surprisingly effective in heating his pool.

I love the look of this game! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zU3rmggIcpc

DOS76 said I imagine they are expensive at this point. Looked like $1600 with no Storage or RAM (check-out the G Model then the 'Buy' link).

Oh, crap! I shouldn't have make a political analogy. I just sorta picked them cause the 'spread' seemed about right (for the last time I saw it). P.S. I'm voting Independent: IBM's Watson for President - Smarter than most humans!

CompuLab's Airtop: a Fan-less (no liquid-cooling, either) Gaming PC? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy3nhYPUd7I They claim it (the G model) can run Crysis.

Well, this was a recent screenshot... However, I couldn't find the Poll (I assume it's because I already voted), but I found this in a Forum. (HyperSpin is Trump and we're Cruz)?

FWIW, I'm running WinRAR v5.31 (64-bit) and it extracted the file without incident.

U B welcome.

SentaiBrad said It only works if you read it all. ;) I did. I've already downloaded all 780Mb of it.

Ahhh..., will saying, "I 'heard' Jason was sexy", be close enough?

That's a very cool Gamer's T-shirt, and I think many non-Gamers would 'get it', too. And it hits home, 'cause I'm a lot closer to 'being' that controller than most of you are. Thanks for that Post, Derek.

Wi-Fi Gun Well, now I know anyone with $150 can shoot down my [future] Domino's delivery.

Yah, I woulda been surprised if Jason didn't know about it. Guess I should poke around more before a Post, in case it's already in there. Sorry about that, Forum Members.

Well, DoTT Remastered is available today on both GOG and Steam for the same price of $14.99. If you were going to buy it, would you go with or GOG or Steam (assuming accounts for both)? Perhaps the question is really just which one you prefer, in general...

This thing looks pretty cool for Geeks. A simple thing you can do with it, for example, is have your lights turn off when you press Play on your DVD remote. I could like that. It's way outta my league, though, as you need to do some coding. Arduino is intended for anyone making interactive projects. Here's some different info about it. About $55 on Amazon.
