Maybe I haven’t had the right egg nog. I’ve tried the store bought stuff a few times and a few friends concoctions they’ve made. In the end it always seems like a weird watered down pancake mix I’m drinking. As to the a few of the other comments on here my friend who loves the ‘nog says the only way to drink it is…

Old consoles go to the closet, and then after a few years I go through all the stuff in that box buried in the corner of the closet. My last consoles were almost all hacked to be media consoles, my original Xbox was hacked with XBMC and was a really great media player for nearly a decade before media players became…

I don’t know if I can still drink enough beer to make that game fun again. I know at one point someone was selling a Golden Tee Trackball and the base of the trackball hasd power and HDMI out to plug it into your TV. While I dearly love arcade cabinets I’ll probably never live in a space large enough to have the room…

Which timeline are you from friend? This timeline hasn’t gotten WoW on consoles yet (at least not in any official form). Although we did get Phantasy Star MMO and Final Fantasy 11 & 14 MMO’s on consoles, oh yeah and DCUO. I’m still trying to find the timeline where Lineage 2 ended up being the king of MMO’s and is in…

Hands down Xbox 360, I went through 5 Xboxes with the Red Ring of Death eventually after the 5th one (the replacements only lasted 1-3 months before RRoD’ing) they said my warranty had run out. I argued they never fixed the issue and were only sending me broken boxes because they hadn’t gotten a decent fix yet and…

Atari 2600 Spider-Man was not good, even by early 1980 standards. When Neversoft got their hands on the Spider-Man franchise in the late 90's(?) they showed us how amazing it could be.

It does feel a bit phoned in from the design department. I’m agreeing with you that a bit of white highlights would have gone a long way. As a fan of some of Addidas’ shoes (I will always own a pair of Sambas for their comfort and touch/feel for indoor soccer, or just being a dirty hippy and playing some hacky sack…

Now I feel stupid for printing out all my porn (flip books for video) and then riding my bike 15 miles outside of the city and burying it all in a rubber made container at the base of a unique tree 20 minutes up an old mining trail. You crazy kids with your computers now-a-days. *Shakes fist like an angry old man*…

I kinda remember some of this, I was born in ‘77 and in the early 80's the fear you piled on your kid was child kidnappings and then the paranoid conspiracy driven “Satanic Panic” that Satanists were stealing children for sacrifices and molestation. Luckily I was raised in Alaska and spent most of my time while not at…

You want real evil, buy a mass of toothbrushes to give out to kids or just buy a bunch of candy corn, the evil elite of candies.

Microsoft marketing had a “grand idea” in the long run it may pay off, in the short term it’s confused the hell out of a lot of people. Windows Mixed Reality was supposed to be an MS initiative to create a hardware standard for VR and AR.  Microsoft was working hard on their MS Hololense which was for augmented…

Finally! After all these years we have the technology to make PONG into a hand held... for two people to play?

True, but the silver linings are getting a bit threadbare at this point.

To be fair though, I’ve pet Cerberus in “Hades” enough times that I got the achievement ages ago and still will go give him a pet when I’m returned to starting point after each death.  I’m convinced he’s a good luck charm at this point.

I live in an old apartment with a 1970's style oven.  I looked up some reviews on air fryers and most the reviews said it’s not really worth it if you already have a convection oven.  Anyways, I picked one up that’s basically a nice toaster oven.  The key thing for me is that it takes very little time to heat up the…

I loved SHMUPs as a kid, and I think my first Darius game was bought at a local video rental place it was in their bargain bin for like $4.99.  So I picked up Darius Twin for the SNES and it became one of my favorites like UN Squadron, Gradius and R-Type.  I picked up the Darius collection on steam a few years back…

I blame the Pit Fighter arcade game. Seems like that was the first to try to digitize actors into a fighting game or as something beyond a cut scene. I suppose it did pave the way for some pretty awesome games though. I think they used a very similar technique to copy 3D models and animations into sprites for the SNES…

At the small Rexall (Prescriptions/Crafts/electronics) store in my small home town in Juneau Alaska they had a NES behind the counter with a small TV playing SMB2. I was in 3rd or 4th grade at the time and super excited about the new mario game having played through SMB and spending hours finding as many of the little…

I bought a Xbox 360 at launch. It red ringed in the first six months or so. Took MS a few months past that before they believed it to be a problem and began the red ring program to return your red ringed for a freshly repaired system. The first took months before I got the replacement in the mail. Two months of using…

I chuckled when I saw an actual tree as the “skill tree” for D4. As I saw a few others say, Blizzard isn’t the Blizzard it used to be, so I’ll take a wait and see on Diablo 4. I’ve loved the series since I was a kid playing the first one half terrified sitting in a dark rec room. Diablo 3 almost broke me at first…
