    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I knew of Bonk's Adventure. This kid I knew had parents that my dad did business with. He had a Turbo Graphix 16, and we would play Bonk any time I was over their house. EDIT: I also had a Game Gear because I wanted a color hand held system because it didn't need light. I saved up my...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    My dad was 100% against buying me another video game console (specifically SNES) "They're a waste of time and will rot your brain". I happened to be walking by a Game Stop and went in to look for a standard NES game and they said they pretty much no longer sold them. We saw that they had a...

    Repossession

    I don't know what it is. I believe they're under a new name now, but not even 100% sure on that. We received an email about a week ago from one of the employees saying that overnight the business had changed, but the employees were never told about it, nor were they affected in any way.

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Chakra is another word for Chi, or your inner energy. It has nothing to do with your physical strength. It's more of a Yoga or Tai-Chi thing. It's more like potential energy in DBZ and now Naruto.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I can't comment on the FPS of NES games (nothing ever seemed slow on them), but my god were the frame rates on the 3DO horrible. I had one a little after it came out. Got it used at Game Stop, and kept it until finally getting a PlayStation 1. What sucks is that I never owned an SNES. Went...

    Wii U

    Well, first review is in. My wife really enjoys the Japanese import of Tomodachi Collection (that's the 1st Tomodachi Life, only released in Japan). We're headed to Japan in 11 days, so I'm going to try and find a used copy of Tomodachi Life, just to see if it plays on a US 3DS. I've heard...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Yeah, but the powers are timed. Think of his gift eyes like getting a star in Super Mario Brothers. He's currently running quickly through Goobas, but that shit's going to run out soon.

    Tyrant

    Watching last night's episode, the uncle said "This is madness", and I wanted Jamal to shout "THIS IS SPARTA!" That will forever be stuck in my head.

    Repossession

    That's a shock. We've been burned a couple of times over the years, but we're just tired of it. Yet we're in a business that even when people fuck us and re-open, we need the business, so we always take them back. We're like a battered wife.

    Repossession

    It's minimal. A whopping $6000 lost in total. We're just trying to reclaim the lost parts. I don't believe we want to go the route of a lawyer, as we still plan on doing business with the "new" owners. We're just trying not to get screwed in the process.

    Repossession

    I was wondering if any of you have any experience with this as someone who would like to perform a repossession. My company has been doing business with another company for a number of years. We make small metal parts that fit into the machines that they sell. We currently have 3 unpaid...

    Wii U

    This isn't a Wii U question. It's more a 3DS one. Do any of you or your girlfriends/wives have Tomodachi Life? It's supposed to be the "next" Animal Crossing type of craze for the 3DS. After reading a couple of reviews, I decided to buy it for my wife. Getting the Japanese import version...

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    HBO reuses tons of actors from their various shows, so I wouldn't be surprised. Can't comment about Nurse Jackie though, as I've never seen it.

    The Wire: Greatest Show Ever Made

    So I've been watching another show recently. Friday Night Lights. People suggested it to me, that even though I don't care about sports/football, it's a VERY good show. Same premise as the movie, but it started 2 years later. Ran for 5 seasons. Anyway, I'm in season 4 now, and the newest...

    Summer 2014 Anime Thread

    I still find it rather entertaining. I'm not a huge fan of the gun angle, but I'll stick with it and wait for the next. I mean, I wasn't happy about the Fairy angle either, but that ended up being decent as well.

    Comic Books

    I think it's because the decent artists demand a higher paycheck, and Marvel and other companies aren't willing to put out that money unless you have a proven name. It's a catch 22. You're worth more but have no name, and they won't pay you what you're worth because you have no name. It's...

    Clearly, Jim Lee is great as an artist. As is Greg Capullo from the older Spawn issues. And lastly, I loved Michael Turner. He drew Witchblade, Aspen, and a few others. Examples of each.

    Yeah, you're kind of in a rough situation due to the fact that she is NOT your daughter. You can assist with guidance, but any real decision making falls on her mothers shoulders. Has the daughter spoken to you at all about any of the pregnancy test stuff or are you only hearing about it via...

    Robin Williams found dead

    I realized something this morning. I kind of liked that silly movie, "Toys", that Robin starred in. Just tossed it onto my netflix queue. In other news, Burr is awesome. I've seen him live about 4 times, and how great was he in Breaking Bad? Good stuff.
