I ran across a couple year old youtube video... quite amazing.  I didn't know a USA one existed.  I used to have the Japanese 64DD and had a few come through my shop.  It was a pretty cool piece.  This USA model is quite cool... hard to believe this guy got ahold of it!  Lucky guy   

I noticed at the end... he mentioned Diablo was supposed to come out for the N64DD - At one point it was announced.  I am going to research that as well as other N64DD games to see what I can come up with to make some new N64DD topics.

I figure @MegaDrive20XX and @retro junkie would appreciate this topic as well.

Check out this video... and post your comments / thoughts!

Peanut Butter ... AND HONEY!  Woot   

@retro junkie How does that stack against other Fire Emblems?  Might be cool to have a Fire Emblem topic.


I've been somewhat absent from gaming lately.  I've played a few rounds of FortNite.

FINALLY made decent progress in Raiden V for the PS4.  I beat the game... and now have 33-43% of all trophies (don't remember the number).   I'm going to create an updated topic on this game.  It's a lot of fun - if you like the top scroller style shooter (Shmups).  I also beat the game with all S routes.

How many of you stream and post gameplay videos?   For example:
1.) stream your gameplay live.  Twitch, Facebook, etc
2.)  Post Help videos and content on Youtube - Video Game Related - help Videos, How To's, Tutorials...etc.
3.)  Anything else?

Just curious.  I know @Baker_Beezy does... and I think @MegaDrive20XX still does.

Post it up!

I probably will post a season 5 topic at some point... a lot has changed.  The new Golf Cart is pretty fun to drive as well lol.

Has anyone been playing FortNite lately?  my son and I have been playing it quite a bit pre-season 5.   Time hasn't been there lately to play much.

There are XP events/challenges  to play with a friend... I'd like to join up with someone at some point in the near future.  I finally have my PS4 and internet hooked back up... but don't have my headset or anything else ready to go.   I have a little ear piece somewhere... but cannot find those pieces right now.  Derp.   However, until I do... I'd like to join up with someone to play a bit without comms.

@targetrasp are you still playing?

I am thinking the color was Japan only. The only problem I have had is that some of my games load up in Japanese. I didn't expect that for some reason.

@retro junkie interesting.  I know certain games for the Neo Geo pocket color loaded up in the same manner.  Some Neo Geo CD and AES carts would do the same thing. But interesting this happened with DS carts.

Several languages already exist on most carts.   It would be cool if games played in their native language per the system...  if they exist.  Then they could be switchable via the menus of another language is preferred.

Double post...   

@Kinikko when you get yours... would you do a little review with pics of the system?  I'm curious how well the systems looks to the current pics online.

Well my 3DS is one of the older ones and I've been wanting to buy one of the "new" models.  Plus I grew up with the SNES and it's my like fav console of all time really.  I've been eyeballing this for a little while and that's all I needed to jump on it.  XD

Perfect timing...  ... sigh... I Want one too lol.   My 3DS is definitely an older XL model.  ugh...  good deal and sale...

@mastermario @Kinikko @Jack   --> I talked to Mastermario a little about the old Facebook page.  He suggested we rebrand the old page and make it CDG.  We will remove off all old entries of the old site... as well as change ALL branding to the current site.

Or do you think it makes more sense to start a new one?  @mastermario thought it's best just to use the old and move forward.


Ideas for the new Facebook page:
1.)  Need to establish website links (https://www.chickendinnergaming.com)... as well as Discord group web links directly from FB page... and Steam group links.  THEN Interlink this website, STeam group to the FB page as well.  This is important for starting to generate more traffic and relevance.
2.)  Post up events - where we get others together and play games - Advertise on boards and facebook... linking to both.  Maybe linking to Steam group as well.
3.)  Posts of the week...  where you all would take a forum discussion and try to get discussions started at FB and link back to the forums for integrated discussion.  Might be best to have the discussions here and link to FB.
4.)  There are some mods for the forums that would allow us to RSS feed the FB posts here and they would post here as well...
5.)  There might be a way to SSI into Facebook - I need to look into this.  If so, we can post the last "X" number of posts links on Facebook as well.  Would be cool if we could do this automatically.

I might use our master login to post some stuff to the FB page as well.  I just don't use FB anymore personally.

Thoughts?  Let's post them up and coordinate.  I Will rely on you 3 for pushing forward FB.

I applied for an amazon store credit line and got an extra $60 gift card to use toward it.  So it ended up only being $98.99 in the end.

NICE @Kinikko !  Good call... This is a pretty cool looking hand held.  I dig it a lot.  Just having a hard time coming up with a justification in my head lol. 
It's about to happen.

Amazon prime day is today... anyone taking advantage of this? 

Amazon Prime Day - Amazon.com

I bought Gevalia Keurig K CUP 100 Count Coffee... it's actually pretty good lol... and only $0.38 per cup on the lightning deal.
Gevalia Keurig 100 K Cups - Lightning Deal

Yeah... we drink coffee like fiends... so... any time we see a deal like this, we eat it up.   There's only 1 other time of the year to get it this cheap (normally) ... and that's the black Friday / cyber week deals. 

I posted a pretty good 3DS XL Deal in the gaming deals thread:
Nintendo 3DS XL Super NES system for $149.99 with Mario Kart
* I also noticed on this deal... you can add the charger for $0 upcharge.  I thought it always upcharged $12 or $15... may be mistaken on that... but it's $0 right now if so.


Shameless plug - if you buy from Amazon via our links... the site gets a small kick back for hosting,  upgrades and stuff.

@trkorecky - until I had a few "life events" the past couple months... @SpartanEvolved and I were trying to play this.

I still have to relocate my PC and other stuff... but once that is complete... I Would be down to play this again.  It's a lot of fun.  I bet we could get @SpartanEvolved to play as well.

Bluevoodu LOL... but it's dead... Jim.

@Jack @mastermario @Kinikko @Helskyth  @targetrasp  and all others:

Just remember... in your profiles, you have these fields... as well as several other fields for different services.  They do not show up until you enter information into the fields.  Go to your profile.  Edit --> Forum Profile.

Not all of them are linked like twitter, Discord, Twitch and others.  If I couldn't access a public webpage, I didn't provide an automatic link and then the small image in the main post area.  However, if there is a login page ... and it allows you to view IF you are already logged in... I will consider making this an active link.  So - if this is the case for Xbox Live... let me know and I Will live link.  @Kinikko and I tested this originally and we couldn't get something to work.  But hey... things do change and I haven't added any more for awhile.

@mastermario @targetrasp Did you do a campaign run?  If so... how did it go?

Time is coming soon for this to be released... July 31st is the current stated release date.  They could still push it back of course lol...


Pretty pumped for this to be released.

@retro junkie ... This is pretty cool... and good job getting the buttons working.   That's a crazy good deal.   The screen looks good as well.


Nice find!  I don't remember Nintendo making that color.

I thought this was a pretty good deal.  Even if you were to buy it and sit on it for a bit to sell later down the road:

Nintendo 3DS XL Super NES Edition AND Super Mario Kart Free Download - Amazon.com

I'm looking to potentially pick this up.  Pretty cool to get Super Mario Kart as well - even though I wish it was a physical copy and not a digital copy.   Still a good deal.

Post up if you buy it... and don't forget, you can follow our ads out to buy if you wish to do so. 

@Aya-Kun what is Nier Automata?

How did the vr turn out?  Might be a cool new topic!

@mastermario Internet should be in place by next Monday. It's been a bit of moving hell and a few other things lately lol.  Almost there

@CreepinDeth you really think e3 will fall totally out?  I know since some changes in the mid 2000's it was declining. However, I thought it started today pick back up.

We made some awesome chili! 

@targetrasp That is odd... but it's cool they are including them this time around.  We knew after the Ps3 / Xbox 360 days (even during)... the manual wasn't going to stay around much longer... but to me it's odd to see Nintendo following suit.  They've always been the better company for providing manuals and other extras.


BTW... I pre-ordered.

Shadowrun Returns Deluxe - humblebundle.com

Partake while you can!  Post up if you partake. 

I Will also try to create a topic for this game as well and link it back to this topic for easier sharing / linking.

I know it's a day early... but happy birthday @Icy

Enjoy your digital cake tomorrow 

@targetrasp ah ok. I thought you meant a different kind of dock or something with cool new functionality.   $60 is a little steep imo for the unit.

My mind started racing on cool new functionalities lol

@mastermario sad face on the mismatch glitch ... still hurts lol.

@Aya-Kun I don't get why that ruins some people's gaming experience or why that would make them feel inferior. I know it's out there though. It is annoying. 

At work we just started selling an LG 4k OLED that's somewhere around $3000 but holy crap is the image amazing. My coworker and I just stood there and stared at it for like five minutes in awe.

@Mai Valentine I know what tv you're talking about. It's beautiful.  I'd like to have $3k right now for just the TV lol.

Brats tonight.

Better be chorizo...

@mastermario haha! I haven't had chorizo brats in forever. That sounds really good right now.

We get these jalapeño brats from a local butcher... Holy crap are they good and burn a bit.

Currently getting a bowl of cinnamon toast crunch.

Been on the fence for a while about the Switch but I made up my mind and have bought the console, mario Odyssey, Zelda and Mario Kart

Should be coming today from amazon =3

@Aya-Kun nice!  How do you like it?  You should post up your experiences and what you like / dislike .. Or topics on games. 

@targetrasp  what's the dock you're taking about?  You should create a topic on that dock. I think I missed it.

@Kinikko - dumb question...  but how do you add games? 

I bought Lego star wars force awakens on super sale.
My son and I will be tackling it after 100% -ing Lego jurassic park.

Bumping this up - what do you play?
