We are all working from home right now... as of MOnday, our plants closed down.   We are still  "working" from home in the corporate division... but hopefully this doesn't last too long.    Our China plants are back to work now.   At least 1 of our locations retooled to make parts for medical devices.

@AngelBob - I hear you... the hoarding is crazy.   Oddly enough, I've been able to get a bit of toilet paper.  Clorox wipes... running out and impossible to find.    Salt was hard to find as well... but I could find about everything else.

@targetrasp  LOL...... drunken Halloween... that just sounds like gross regrets.

@targetrasp  - I can't say I remember the cobra rattler.  I really only remember the f14... and then the aircraft carrier thst was huge!  That was cool but absolutely huge

Happy birthday @Snatcher_L  - I know it's a bit early and we haven't seen you around for awhile. Jump on and say hi!  And enjoy your digital cake!

Alright... who has now seen this and what are your thoughts?  I have yet to see this movie and will probably rent it with all the virus stuff going on at this point.   It looked interesting with the changes they made but heard it was crazy in a few areas.  I'll save that for The discussion. 


Thanks to @retro junkie this is all I can think about when I hear "sonic the Hedgehog the movie ..."

Beer virus, covid-19, cv19, coronavirus ... China virus...  as infections have picked up and disruptions to our daily life have occurred.  How has it impacted you?


Comments, stories .... post it up!

ok... so my Turbo Express has been down for some time... probably 2-3 years.

@targetrasp  you mentioned a capacitor set on Ebay... I Think I found them.  Do you know of anywhere else outside Ebay to get them?  I don't really Ebay anymore.  I'm searching to see if I can find it outside of Ebay.

I recently purchased a new soldering iron for other projects... and it needs to be broke in.   It's time to fix the Turbo Express!

Who else has or have had this issue?   Post it up!

@targetrasp I'm going to create a new topic for the Turbo Express capacitor issue.   I have a new soldering iron that needs a bit of a break in    Post coming soon.

and back to the Turbo Grafx 16 mini topic!

features removed:
*  ENOTIFY - this is the popup that occurred for new posts that happened while you were on board and also when you came back to the board. I HOPE to make this a feature again, but I need to work through the code.   This mod is now back in place.

Has anyone seen this?  I knew Windows had certain unix functionality in the past, but this is rather interesting.

Windows 10's built-in Linux kernel will be available to everyone soon - Engage.com

Better yet... has anyone played around with it at all?   Once released... I'm going cosplay around and see what All can be done. This has peaked my interest

Comments,  thoughts? Post it up!

lol... but DADDY... I WANT THE TG16 MINI NOW! 

I do too... I can't wait to see how it plays on the more modern TV's with the proper connections.   It's been awhile since I've really played many Turbo Grafx games.  I think the last time MAY have been when I bought some of the games on Virtual Console on the Wii.

Speaking of which... my Turbo Express still has bit the dust.  I need to figure out how to get it fixed or fix it.

Did you anyone see this Switch Console?   This is the Animal Crossing New Horizons Edition Nintendo Switch!

Animal Crossing: New Horizons Edition - Nintendo Switch - Amazon.com

I want this switch Console.  It is pretty cool... the design is fairly unique... though I wish the controllers were slightly different colors.  This looks like something up @Kinikko 's ally as well.

What do you think?  Post it up!

Has anyone been looking into this game?  This is the pre-order topic!     

Here is the link to the Amazon.com listing:
Animal Crossing: New Horizons - Nintendo Switch - Amazon.com

I'm a pretty big fan ot the Animal Crossing Series.   We recently started getting into the New Leaf version... and it still has a lot of play.   However, I am DEFINITELY looking to buy this game.  IF you are considering buying the game and wish to support the site, please use the above link.   You can use it to also make other Amazon purchases.

Who else is looking forward to this title?  What are you looking forward to?   post it up!

lol @targetrasp have you touched this yet?

lol @AngelBob  - Nice post on the video. lol... I never really had the intellivision.  I had an Odyssey II as a kid... I think it was.

I found a bunch of old Star Wars toys... pieces and parts.  I'm looking to maybe part with them .... but need to figure out values and what not.

@targetrasp the GI Joe planes were awesome.  I have one of the originals... the Gray F14.  It's beaten up pretty bad.   I also had the black F14 as well.

@retro junkie I have the Exodus Game Boy game... it wasn't a bad title.  It was fairly fun if I remember right.

Dude... your birthday stashes are always fun to see.  There are some really good NES games there too.  I remember Adventure Island... I really dug that game.   HOPEFULLY the Ikari Wartriors is a typo lol... No Ikari Warts here please 

@Jack  They did that with Diablo 3 for the PlayStation 3 ... if I remember right.   I believe they skipped the PlayStation 4 for awhile.  I wonder if that's because they're not really pushing graphics hard...etc.   Your assessment of 2021 is probably right.   Blizzard is notorious for pushing these bac.

@SpartanEvolved Let's launch this again lol.  Spartan and I launched the rough Diablo 3 launch... where it didn't work right and was 1 of the 1st to launch at 3 am EST... or 12am Pacific time.  That was frustrating.   

This is making me want to play Diablo 3 again.

lol @mastermario shows!

We should play some PSO

@Grindspine yes - I've been keen on that topic for quite awhile.  It was all the rage back in the Crysis days and after... it really may have started more with Counter-Strike Source.   It probably started earlier than that... but it was really big with those 2 titles alone.

@Polygon I do agree... but that's what I mainly was saying... over 120... I don't know.  There are so many factors that go into it. 

Fair disclosure, I have not updated my gaming monitors...etc... in forever.  I plan to do this in 2-3 years... but not now.  So I'm definitely not using the newest gear.   I used to keep up on upgrades a lot more.. but haven't really since 2013 - 2014.  I've just had other areas funds had to go to.

I still haven't bought anything since the new Call of Duty Modern Warfare... I have other stuff I need to cover right now.  However, I'm really jonesing for some more Lego games.    They're fun to play through.  On the list right now is the Lego Villains game.

you know who we haven't heard from for awhile - @Strubes !  and @MegaDrive20XX  -- what games have you bought lately or been into?

@retro junkie @targetrasp I hope this is still happening as well.   For those that haven't pre-ordered...  you can still use the links on the beginning of this thread.


I REALLY hope that December 2020 date is NOT the real deal.    I haven't heard that it's being delayed yet.    Any other news you have found?

Oh man.... Good post @Jack. Good links as well.   I'm pumped for this as well.  Did they make a launch date?  I'll probably buy this day 1.

@SpartanEvolved @mastermario @targetrasp @Grindspine  ... have you been following and are you getting this as well?


The MMO aspect is interesting but I really hope they keep it like Diablo and not wow. That's the 1 thing that would keep me from buying.  Raids ... while they can be cool... I just dont have the time to invest.

I need to review a bit more. I'll post up more on the druid class after reviewing. 

@Jack  yeah... I hear you.  It is cool to go to some of those shows ... but maybe e3 has lost its place. I don't know though.  There's some appeal to as show like E3.  That used to be all the rage.   I was surprised to hear Nintendo backed out a few years ago. In fact, I missed that EA and others did as well.

@retro junkie lol... nice 

@Polygon yeah...  agree there. I really liked the movie though. Even now I'm still torn. I like them both for different reasons.

Welcome back polygon!   Glad to have you back 

I bought a new legit soldering iron a few months ago.  Now I just need a project  @retro junkie lol. 

I don't know. I'm really contemplating selling the collection and recouping the cash. I wish I woulve bought a lot of other stuff and hoarded it from back in the day.  All those us faselei carts I had...  New Saturn units ... etc. Many of these consoles just don't get play anymore.

@retro junkie awesome. I'd like to see more of those.

It would be cool if this home brew would be offered on the Nintendo store. I'd really like to try it out!   This title looks very interesting.

Did you all see E3 was cancelled this year?

It's official: E3 2020 has been canceled [Updated] - arstechnica.com

It's been cancelled due to Coronavirus.   Not a huge shock right now. 

I didn't realize so many vendors pulled out of E3 in the past.
