Jeez... I played the heck out of these games on my PS3, which is still hooked up next to—

Trick question—we have no privacy.

There should be 3 options: Girl, Boy, and Don’t You Put Your Labels on Me!

It’s more car in between you and the people that are mad at you for not being able to keep your ridiculously oversized car in a lane or parking space.

Step 1: don’t be an idiot.

Don’t underestimate our national power of denial. We turned “started some shit and got our asses handed to us and our executive mansion burned down” into “kicked those British jerks butts again, yeehaw!”

So if it took the USA, which views Soccer as slightly less interesting to watch than cement setting, to call FIFA on it’s rampant corruption does this mean Europe will fix the NFL for us? Pretty please?

Waaahhh! It’s not fair when those libtards point out incredibly stupid things conservatives do and say! Facts have a well known liberal bias! It’s only OK when conservatives make fun of hippy socialist dumbocrats, not the other way around. It’s not fair!

A white Reed and a black Sue would be problematic, though, because Reed is such an asshole to her. It would take on racial overtones in addition to the sexist overtones it already has.

Again, if you consider hipster to be an insult and you self-identify as one that’s your problem. Stick up the ass is a figure of speech, and seems appropriate because you seem really raw about Hyperkin—they’re thieves by your estimation, though piracy is fine with you if you feel the cart price is too high. The market…

I didn’t insult you, I said that most people I know obsessed with the original hardware are hipsters. Whether hipster is an insult or whether you self-identify as one are irrelevant.

I honestly didn’t read your last post because I’m just not interested in what you have to say at this point.

Yeah, I AM a person with classic games and I generally use my Retron to play them, even with the original consoles available. I know others that do the same thing. Maybe YOU have a stick up your ass about only using the original console, but not everyone does. Those that do, I find, are hipsters—the same people that…

Ugh.

Mary Steenbergen just keeps getting more beautiful. I think it has to be Dick Clark syndrome, deal with the devil, or clean living. I’m leaning towards deal with the devil.

You’re right... $125 is too expensive. It’s much cheaper to buy an NES, Famicom, Genesis, Mega Drive, SNES, Super Famicom, GameCube with Game Boy Player, and a dedicated upscaler to get them on your HDTV without your eyes bleeding. And everyone has the space for a half-dozen retro consoles in their entertainment…

Dumping the ROM to file means you don’t have to have the cart any more, and can distribute the file to anyone you want. Hyperkin doesn’t let you do it because they don’t want to help you pirate software.

Prove it. Show me the court case where Hyperkin was convicted of stealing intellectual property (I believe that’s what you meant, not piracy, because that’s clearly wrong). If they stole IP they will get nailed to the wall for it—the DMCA makes sure that anything a rights-holder doesn’t like is punishable harshly.

Sure, paying emulated versions of games you own is OK by my ethical standards. But if you already own the cart that this thing plays, why rip it to a file? Are there controls to keep people from using this machine to pirate games? The Retron dumps the ROM to memory too, but doesn’t let you save it... to prevent piracy.

Reality has a well-known liberal bias, so a good conservative lives in a fantasy land.
