That’s a scam worthy of our dear lame duck President! Or not since he’s a pretty shitty grifter all things considered.

I don’t know a bunch of the kids I grew up with begged their parents for quarters to use on arcade games that ate your money in a matter of seconds. I don’t think all the money I’ve spent on gauntlet and NBA jam was a reasonable way to spend money either

It’s kind of incredible you had an lgs running for 17 years.

See also all the junk wax from the mid to late 80s in sports cards, it's taken that product 35 years to become rare enough for people to even care about again. And mostly it's just because it's cheap enough to buy and rip

Better than most, but the real money is pristine cards that are graded and that isn't cheap to get done.

Ahh ok, I reread your initial comment. People buying anything pokemon related, not necessarily these desirable old boxes.

I had no idea this thing exists, but once you mentioned comics in the 90s, I completely understood. My god, I started reading comics when they cost 75 cents in high school. In one year, they went from 75 cents to 2-3 dollars. I hated buying them in stores so I subscribed via. mail. My friends thought I was an idiot…

They won't be worth near that unless you kept them in pristine condition.

I heard a comic shop guy talking about the same thing. Players aren’t the ones buying cards, it’s just “investors” buying up boxes.

Such a balancing act here. While I don’t, and cannot understand how anybody else with a functioning brain, gives a single shit about Twitch, I have a rule to instantly click on any article with any reference to Cyberpunk 2077. Hats off to you Nathan, this manages to be the only article about Cyberpunk 2077 I’ve…

Tuna is expensive. The police should show more appreciation for the support.

I absolutely do not get Disney adults (people with kids, sure, but I know grown-ass people, even retirement age, who just go to Disney all the damn time. wtf) and I don’t get people who *need* to be out in public places getting serviced, whether that be at a restaurant, or or a theme park.

Yeah this article has a lot of factual problems. The first revision of the game (in the US at least) was Wacky Gator. Gator Panic came much later and was a re-release after they had moved on to crabs and what have you.

hahaha I can 100000% hear this comment in my head. It also makes me think of this caveman skeeball game at our local arcade that was a really tiny skeeball machine so I could walk over to the 50 points and just chuck the ball in. Which made it repeatedly say WHOA 50 POINTS. Maximum ticket production for sure. 

hahaha i can hear that voice echoing in my head still.

Random story involving that:

Back in 2003 I was a 17 year old punk rocker, and our guitarist was dating a rich girl, way outside our economic group. She was naive, but a cool chick so no one minded having her around. Well, one day after she was smoking with a crusty…

Oh nice! I love when abandoned games (or abandoned builds, in this case) see the light of day. I’m still holding out hope that the early Duke Nukem Forever builds find their way to us.

I have had it on DVD for years and introduced every partner to it. Such an amazing show, from the pulp comic book styled looks to the spot on writing and humor. I still die laughing whenever I watch it.

3-4 years down the road?

That’s something I will likely end up doing once I eventually acquire them. I’d probably never sell anything, honestly, because these items have more personal value to me.

Or that the collective outpouring of hatred was from people who had any interest in seeing the film, even if the design had been spot on?
