Sweeeeeeeet.

It’s their own lack of standards that have doomed them over and over again. They establish a rule to make setting high scores fair by making every person who submits one adhere to the same standards, but when a golden boy like Billy submits one WITHOUT adhering to those standards, they accept it anyway.

We don’t deserve the Rippon family. They are too cool for this country and our current government.

Jesus. A Taco Bell with beer on tap. You don’t even have to wait to go on a run for the border any more. (Yes that’s what we called it in college when you found the one sober person in the group to take you all for tacos.)

He was already suspect in “King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters” when they announced that records had to be set live, under the view of the public and referees (which Billy himself said in the movie was the ONLY legitimate way to prove a high score) and then sent in video tapes to take his high scores back. Say what…

The good news for Sabin — at least there’s a cool pro wrestler named after him. #HailSabin!

Fair point. Cardboard just seems flimsy in general but fall on a NES and it’ll probably stop working too.

My lingering and still biggest concern is that you could spend hours building a complex cardboard kit and then trip over your rug, fall down and smash the whole thing. It’s a lot of money for something that’s not indestructible.

I don’t condone the attempt, but if those were my daughters, I can’t say I wouldn’t have felt the same way or tried to do the same thing.

ZING!

Shock of the year - people with money and power behaved badly in the 1970's and 1980's. Do tell. Oh wait, I was born in 1974. You don’t need to tell. I saw it all growing up. Now if you really want to shock me please find compelling evidence that trickle down economics works.

The End Is Nigh, you say?

Retro Bitch also has an excellent article about this topic.

Just the fact a category called “no 64 door” exists is in itself awesome. I feel like that would be the ultimate obscure insider nerd license plate.

How much is it?

They ought to have the same policy WWE does at the arena door - we’ll look at your sign, and if it offends us, or has anything on it we’re told you can’t say, we’ll take it. People cry “censorship” but you aren’t being censored anywhere outside the building, on your phone, or anywhere you can print something and hand…

That is sadistic and sick and I love it. ^_^

Not to mention $80 would be +cheap+ for a CIB copy of Chrono Trigger today. I have a loose copy and I’m happy of it.

I have no idea what’s going on here but this photo is gorgeous.

These are my current addiction. They are WONDERFUL. A hot cup of coffee with a splash of milk in it goes so well with the cinnamon and chocolate.
