Today's Haul!
Tatsunoko vs. CAPCOM for the Wii and a GameShark Pro 3.3 for the N64.

Nice!  I didn't know they made tatsunoko VA Capcom for the wii... there's a lot of games that went under the radar though.

OK ... spoiler is wellwisher style... with line under

change log is original without line

Off topic is well wisher without line.


I can also do the original with line (like change log but with line)....

What do you all like the best?  I'm leaning WellWisher without line.  With Line is cool as well. 

Post up your thoughts and opinions please.

How does the Master Chief Collection play now?  For awhile there were many issues - Maybe this requires a topic of its own sometime lol.  This ALMOST had me buying an Xbox One.

ALso, how is Doom on the system? I played it on Steam with @SpartanEvolved for awhile... but it fell off the Earth in a way.  I'm thinking about picking the Switch version though.

By the way - that is one cool Xbox One you bought... very cool shell and controller.

They both suck  ;D

Now I am going to go play with a lightsaber though after I answer this call on my 1960s style flip phone.

didn't you have a couple lightsabers?   I thought you did lol  ;D
#2617
lol... and I'm regretting this isn't offered at our store(s)... they also said they cannot match the price online. 
#2618
I called our local target... the sale is only for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 for our local Targets.  Lucky yours are $20 for Playstation 4 and Xbox One.

Are these supposed to be game purchases? Because I just bought some hair gel from Amazon today haha.

Game-wise...last purchase was probably Dying Light I think.
Lol. Good call  - so I edited the 1st post title to include gaming.

Click the links here to buy that hair gel lol. We get credit for that as well. Pretty much for anything amazon related after clicking our links.

This post also has gaming added... so if replying now it should have gaming added to the title.

I love board games. Monopoly is an all time favorite and I've tried to get every video game edition of it I can. I've been meaning to pick up the Nintendo version for a while now. The monopoly gamer edition is awesome, and I've got the Mario kart gamer edition but haven't managed to play yet. Finding a group of adults with enough time to sit down and play a board game is difficult


@targetrasp and everyone else - I created a topic in suggestions for board game category and board:

board game category in suggestions board

Post up there if you all want to explore this option.

Bought Metroid: Samus Returns Special Edition for 3DS - comes with soundtrack.  Amazon linky without soundtrack:
Metroid: Samus Returns - Nintendo 3DS - Amazon.com

With sound track:
Metroid: Samus Returns special edition with sound track- Nintendo 3DS - Amazon.com

Nice!  Good job. I haven't seen this game yet - I'll check it out. 

Pretty good?
#2622
Hmm...  yeah. And if the sharing mechanism works over https.  I'll have to look at this.

That's the only thing I did... changed the share url to https.

AH... those are cool.  Have you looked into sites like Ravely  or Etsy?

I have a hard time coming up with prices on stuff like this because they take a good amount of time.  We have a local Art / Coffee shop that sells a lot of stuff like this.  I've seen stuff from $17.99 to $25... or more depending on design and intricacy.   Do you have local art stores / coffee shops like that?

The other idea is... once you have patterns, you can sell your patterns as well.  Some people fare better in the pattern category. 

The other thing to keep in mind these days -  selling anything under license can come with legal issues. Sticking with original designs is probably best - if you are looking to sell.

Went and liked the Star wars topic, this time on my phone. Still nothing. :/
SUPER SAD FACE.  I bet it has something to do with HTTPS://  and it not getting the encrypted contents.

Are you able to see if the wall is http and not https?  Not sure that's viewable outside the source.

That sounds kinda cool depending on how it works.  Only thing I'd worry about is someone like typing in some kind of progress in there if it has that kind of feature and spoiling the game. 

OH OH OH HO Do we have some form of spoiler tag?
SPOILER TAG - good call.. on the list.  Might be able to do that by Sunday.  This was added to the 1st post to keep track of what we will  OR are looking to do / add.

Hm... as far as backlog tracker... I was thinking of a list where you could populate certain game information.. and be able to check it off the list where it would strike it out... or you could delete it.   I was thinking of making something though where it would be more of a repository where the game companies and systems are saved... maybe leading to a game repository of some sort - more to come on that.

I'm looking into other ideas though for the backlog tracking.. maybe something more sophisticated as well... but as a start - was looking for a way to do what I mentioned above.


Do you have ideas or thoughts you could see on this?     I might split this out into it's own topic if it catches on. 

Keep up the good suggestions!

New update last night. They (finally) fixed the random vehicle launching and there's now a Spectator Cam where you can watch the person that killed you after you die and then the person that kills them, etc.
vehicle launching?  lol - I must've missed that.

The spectator cam is a good idea!  though.. spectating team mates is good too lol

After I liked it I went to my facebook wall and it didn't post anything there to it.  Idk what it's actually doing.

Interesting... ok... so Twitter works right.   I'll see if I Can do a Google test at some point.

Could I ask you to try 1 more topic and like it on FaceBook?  A topic you like - or whatever you want to do :)
Maybe we could get another cross test @mastermario ?

If it doesn't work... maybe I need to look at the code.   Maybe Facebook updated something and I need to change the code.  I think I had to add https:// to Facebook to stop it from constantly giving a non-secure page error.  That was annoying.
#2629
Thanks man... I'm looking into this one!

@BLUEVOODU I was wrong about MSI, it was DFI that I hated. after that I treated all the 3 letter boards as lepers.
@targetrasp LOL... I see :)  I don't really have experience with DFI that I know of... makes sense though.     

LOL... 3 letter lepers.   That's funny.

@mastermario lol. You're cute. You said that before lol. I don't work on those platforms anymore. Totally different job function.   That one about killed me with stress and environment.

I'm 3 positions away from that one. Ive been running our Ibm server platform the last 6 years. Was over 32  North American, Brazil, France, and other plant locations.  Those plants are migrating off my platform right now so I'm. Currently learning an entire new platform while leading the old platform. I'm currently grouping up with the administrators of that system - have been the last year.  The new platform covers China, India, Korea, Germany,  Poland, Czech Republic,  and tons more countries.

It's a lot right now.  I never have a lack of stuff to do In life or work lol.

@Kinikko  hahaha  ;D  thanks for that.  I understand the busy...  ridiculous lately.

@targetrasp that's what one of my old positions was like. At least twice 26 hours straight. Ew .... One cable.  You know media converters (ethernet to fiber)..  In the old position I worked, I found one above the ceiling.  I couldn't figure out why communications to one of the labs were dropping randomly. One of those failed and it was above the ceiling!!
Lol. I'd love to hear some of your other stories.

What do you all think about a board games  board?  We might be able to include paper games such as D & D...

Not sure if this should be under general or in a other category by itself - with other additional boards.

I started mention this in the following thread:
post your recent purchases thread

Thoughts?  Comments?  Post it up!

Bumping this up... the more inbound links we have, search engine see... and the better rep we  will have for driving new members and traffic.

I will be working on linking with other sites in the coming months.

Thank you in advance for all those with links coming back to this site.  I will also work with twitch users and other to help link to them with reciprocal links.

Questions? Please let me know
#2634
Would everyone be interested if we starred up a ChickenDinnerGaming.com Facebook page? 

I figure at some point we will start one... then coordinate news stories between Facebook,  ChickenDinnerGaming.com forum, steam group, and discord... and what ever else we start up.   We could have exclusive content on those service, but the content we post should be coordinated to keep things somewhat consistent.


Definitely could use help with managing these services...  posting (heck posting here as well) and trying to invite old members from our old Facebook pages... plus working to get new members.... Ultimately new members to this site.

This is part of our future strategy to continue to grow our community and this site.

Hopefully there will be cool integration between all the sites and be able to post feeds here, etc.  We can already post Facebook posts here embedded like we can embed certain videos.

So feel free to test and embed Facebook posts on this site.

Well the Like button added one to it, and the tweet button works.  I just don't use Google plus but I clicked it and it seems like it would work.  It brought up a window to post it ala facebook.  The facebook button doesn't like share it to your facebook though, just adds a "like" to the post.
Hmm... I see what you mean on the Facebook like... strange.  And by liking it... it doesn't share that at all via Facebook? Like to the feeds or what-not?

If I click it, it takes me too  Facebook login.  Just not sure if a user is logged into Facebook if it shares to the feed or shoes you liked the post.   I quit Facebook about 4 years ago .. So thank you for helping here.

If you see where it worked / if you can see where it shows up feed wise, please post a screen shot of what you see.

What do you need?

Thank you @Kinikko - just to try the buttons out to make sure they post and work to Facebook like, Google +1, and tweet. Even if you can try one of the services of you have it (but don't have all).  That would be a big help -

This is pretty Crazy:
Photo of fiery bubble that stretches 65 feet in the air stuns the Internet - MSN.com

Anyone see this?  That's one heck of a fiery bubble lol.   This happened back in 1969 it appears... but I've not seen anything like this. 

Per the article:
QuoteThe United States Geological Survey (USGS) shared the picture on "Throwback Thursday" last week to highlight a "rare" lava-dome fountain that was spotted in Hawaii on October 11, 1969.
