They definitely are cool. I bought the silicon cube trays as well... but have to be careful with them or they quickly soak up freezer burn smell. IT's weird.

I also have the Ice Ball makers - they are fairly large ice ball lol... single ball per "tray."   but... you cannot use them in a long glass if you want to keep your front teeth 

Tequila and I aren't on speaking terms... lol.... unless they decide to bring back Sobe Adrenaline Rush. 

Yeah. Time hasnt been good to me. Lol.  So I passed out trying to play Lego lotr last night.

@targetrasp how is call of duty ww2? I've been looking into it.   Minecraft ... need to play more of that with my son as well. 

@Aya-Kun the last license takes forever!  I'm almost to Class A

LOL 

mi dios estoy en una casa loca

Nice is my middle name Mrs. Walsh

Lol hmm.... Nintendo lobotomy. Is this the new trauma center?

 

Yus!   Glad it's working. 

Hopefully it helps.

Hmm are you depressed? 
Nah... I get it.  I've gone through that as well... but it goes away for me pretty quickly. Usually it happens during busy times.

300 Meg service? All sorts of jelly right now lol. I can't bring myself to spend that much on Internets thought.

Never really got into the green light program for that main reason. I'm ok with supporting local businesses and people trying to start out though.

This game looked really Interesting.  After you're review here... I'm probably going to pick this up on the next sale.  The art styling it interesting as well.  Looks cool

modern content is what I'm most interested in. Will it be like a steam machine or a home console? 0 games have been announced so who's developing? At this point it seems April is too soon for preorders to start

I hear you. Somehow I doubt it'll hit April. I would think by now there would be teasers and trailers.  Hopefully it's not just an emulator type thing for Atari and they develop my hat for that as well.   For $300... it should be a full on console.

I'm pretty interested ... just depends on what they do.    VCS - virtual console?  No physical media?  Lol hmm...

LOL.  A ball from the. All pit?!  That has to be @targetrasp sarcasm but I'm hoping it's true because that's hilarious... though sucks you had troubles.


Speaking of first world problems... this thread:
Playstation 4 First world problems in Playstation 4 - is it your main console? Thread

Man.... I found that out and was very annoyed. How did I find this out you ask?  Well... like this.

I love Shadow of Mordor on Playstation 4.  I didn't have the goty version or all the DLC... and I wanted to buy it. I couldn't seem buy it for my version. So I tried to buy the GOTY version that was on super fire sale.   I figured... it was hoping  it would download and combine.  Nope.   So I now have 2 versions ... didn't do the achievements and hadn't touched it because I didn't have the disk space at the time and didn't want to start over.

Now that's   first world problems. Lol

Great post Boomsickle.  Post up whatever else you have to say. Don't be shy around here... post up and post often... your comments are welcome.    The more the merrier.

I don't think its me it must be the game cause for me Angus Wharf was always just under 40 seconds and no way I have that time on 2nd XD

It's weird it must be something in the game that keeps saying its 11.60 cause I'm just playing the game normally, when I boot up the game next I will have a look at the time for 2nd street.

Yeah. I don't think it is either because they times changed .... Increased. So on Angus Wharf, you had time of 11.60-11.62.  Then it increased to the 30's.    No way that just happens... especially an increase in time.  I haven't found anyone else having the same issue via Google searches. So not sure what's up with the time's.

Hard to get excited about Glassware... rocks glasses and what not, but I thought these were pretty cool and wanted to share them:

JoyJolt Carre Square Scotch Glasses, Old Fashioned Whiskey Glasses 10-Ounce, Ultra Clear Whiskey Glass for Bourbon and Liquor Set Of 2 Glassware - amazon.com

I'm always on the hunt for cool uniquely made items that are pretty good quality - these seem to fit the bill perfectly.  I'm going to order a set to see how they are.    I dig them... thought I would share.

OK... I accidentally ran into this today at work.  Someone sent me a Goofy Arnold smiling face... as a troll.  So I sent them Sloth's face.

With that said... I accidentally ran into this article and found it pretty funny... so I am sharing the humor today:
60rowsup.Wordpress.com - Sloth Soccer Article

Enjoy... hopefully brings a funny laugh to your Monday.  This will NOT be the only and last Goonies Reference here.

Post it up!

This thread deserves a bump

A winner is you!

Yes. Let the freebie flow through you.  Feel the power of your back log.

LOL... I totally understand that.   Please see the Mention topic - you can turn off the emails for mentions.  Part of my troubleshooting turned them on for all existing members.

Also, I will try to keep the Announcement topics to 1 per week or less... but don't want to do too few as this helps communicate with members that don't frequent.

[Everyone else - in the process of working with this... everyone has mentions now set to notify their emails as well and don't think I can remove it. IF YOU DO NOT WANT THIS, please go to your profile. Go to Profile Info --> Mentions. There is a check box bottom right below your mentions. This should remove it.]

SO @targetrasp  good call on the permissions.  There was an additional permission hiding. Go ahead and try again... I think it'll work this time.

With that said, I found another group that has a better @mention mod... but we will use this one for now as the other is pay.  This one will work good enough for now as we grow.   The other one allows member group notifications as well as single members... this one only allows single member notifications.

I will continue to look into enhancing the board.  IF there are other suggestions or ideas... feel free to Post up in the suggestions board:

How does fishing work in the game?

You go near a body of water and use the item you use a trap. Then wait until it starts bobbing, then just mash a button until you catch it. As simple as it gets.

Lol almost feel dumb asking that now - I think you just summed up fishing in general.   . I kid I kid. 

I meant is it like the fishing in ocarina of time, Sega bass fishing, or like fishing In Animal crossing?  I saw a couple a couple videos on Dynasty Warriors 9 fishing

The videos make it look pretty simple and basic.  I see what you mean.

Some games just have a satisfying fishing system. You need it for Animal Crossing ... but it's fun having friends/ kids in town and just fishing and hanging out. Ocarina of Time has  pretty satisfying fishing mode. Sounds weird... satisfying fishing mode?  Lol. But in all seriousness... even fishing can be satisfying.

It doesn't seem to work for me in pm's.  See screenshot below this text... you see the code in message edit mode: @targetrasp 
This is after the message is created and then you edit the message.  Do you see the code?
Did you see that mention under the mentions area?

I'm going to check the granular members permissions and also talk to the smf mod creator of there are no other  permissions   

Interesting too as there were no errors installing and works for  me.  Definitely seems like a permissions thing ... now just to find it. 

Lol  I'm just saying. The usgamer.net was 3 days ago.  This article is 3 days old A well :

EA Admits Defeat  - unlocks heroes and removes pay win mechanics -  extremetech.com

I know the took a huge beating business wise over this.  Plus other gambling type laws are going into effect for pay for crate gambling systems.  I think Hawaii ... not sure if other states are adopting yet.

Other than the January article... where else are they saying that?  I haven't seen anything as of late.

Lol they better not. 

This is #fakenews, you're about 2 months behind. They had temporarily removed microtransactions but they are going to add them back soon.

https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2018-01-31-what-ea-is-and-isnt-saying-about-microtransactions-returning-to-star-wars-battlefront-2

This is why I begged Spartan to get the game on Xbox with me about 3 months ago when they had removed the transactions. I've put in a good amount of time on it on the Xbone.

That's not fake news lol. They're originally said they were removing and then gamers proved it was still possible.   According to @SpartanEvolved  and other articles, it was recently fully  removed.  Lots of Ly's there.

Weird. 

@Kinikko or @targetrasp  or someone.. Would you be able to help me test as well?

@mastermario - try clearing your browser and then try again. 

@mastermario that's odd... I've got it on mobile and desktop. So when you type @bl you don't get the drop down that lists me and blastmode?  It's a small blue drop down.

I can see it didn't work for you as I dont see your comment under mentions. I also have mine set to email me. 

Did you see anything under profile --> mentions?

Screenshot attatched.

Anyone else have an issue?  Or willing to test   

The necromancer expansion was a welcome nostalgic foray into Diablo II days.  I have not had much time to play it lately though.

@Grindspine I forgot. You have this game?  I know your time is pretty limited as well...  we should try to get some D3 going with @targetrasp and @Kinikko  and / or other members.

I've been wanting to get back into this something fierce.  Now just need additional time.

You bet you can.  Good stuff.

Had Delmonicos again tonight in onions.  Looks almost looks like a heart in a skillet. Lol.

I cook up a whole Vidalia onion with it.  They caramelize a bit and are super tasty.  Gotta like onions though.  Did I say super tasty?

Wow. Great find. I've not seen those yet.   

So you'll get to play all old and new content made for the system. There's A LOT of old Atari content...  both arcade and console.  The article can't speak on specifics.. But this is very interesting!   Peaks my interest.

I'd love to see a remake of alien versus predator -  the Atari Jaguar version.

I'm still reading through this and will edit this post.  But no need to apologize for the full review. Good stuff , retro!   Thank you for posting it here.  Keep up the great work.

Edit:   I read the review... good stuff. 1st how did they pull off releasing A Snes game without having to pay royalties?  I looked into this back when I had my business. I wanted to release games on multiple retro platforms -  such as Snes and Atari Jaguar.

2nd - It's very cool (even though not polished as well as it should be)  a game was released for the Snes in 2017.  It really does amaze me. Hats off to them for putting forth an effort. It's also cool to see someone accomplish what I dreamed about many years ago. 

3rd.... Your mentioning of the chip led me to a cool wiki about Snes  chips. There were more types of chips used than I realized. I play to make a topic on this at some point.

Hopefully more people /  companies will try their hand to release games for retro consoles.  I know the Jaguar had some active developers a few years back. I need to look into those again to see if they're still around. If I find the company, I'll post them up.

Good stuff, retro

Progressed in burnout Paradise remastered on ps4... class B license and 50%+ achievements achieved.
