I had a 93 Mustang (the one with the tiny 4 cylinder) that also had the 85mph speedometer. Was it good or bad that I could honestly answer, “No sir, I don’t actually know how fast I was going because the speedometer doesn’t go that high?”

Time for a Fantasia!

Oh interesting, my Comcast modem supports MOCA, I saw it in the settings, but didn’t actually know what it was.  At this point, I’ve already invested in mesh anyway, but the more you know.

I sure hope the Podcast update fixes the bugs they introduced in the last major update to the app. Ever since the graphical update a few back (can’t remember exactly), every time I pick a podcast off of the Up Next list, it marks all the other podcasts on the list as Played and they disappear from the list. And then I…

Is Pikachu now a slave to that lighthouse?  He can never leave or the ships will crash and everyone will die. 

I’m the other way around. I’m the monster that likes the sprites on the FFV/VI mobile ports and smeary blur on the Chrono Trigger and Grandia Steam releases. I played those games originally on an old tiny CRT when they were new, where they were so blurry and smooshed to the point the pixels were nigh invisible and the…

Here’s a good example. I find Bethesda RPGs largely mediocre, only saved by incredible modding communities. So when I hear someone played vanilla Fallout 3 on PlayStation 3 or something that feeling springs up, and I wish they could’ve had what I consider a more fulfilling experience enhanced by mods, 60 fps, etc. Of…

The wife and I lasted about two years.  But I snore badly and roll around, a lot.  So when we moved into the new house (11 years ago), I started sleeping in the “guest” bedroom.  I also picked out the mattress on the guest bed because it was mine when I was single and much much preferred the hard stiffness of that…

Choosing not to play a good game rather than a bad one from a backlog seems really dumb to me.

He’s saying the FOMO of WANTING to play all the games means he buys all the games, regardless of whether he actually has time to play them. So company makes money whether he plays the game or not.

To them, a backlog game is any you’ve bought and never played or only partially played. I, however, feel that a backlog is any game, owned or not, that you have at least a little bit of interest in playing. And this is where I get stuck.

You bought it on sale: It’s in your backlog. Doesn’t matter when you bought it. Doesn’t matter how marked down it was. If you picked up a game on sale, it automatically goes into your backlog.

Quick-Start because it annoyed me I couldn’t remember what it was.

It is, and I’m working on it. If something is on sale now, it will surely go on sale again later. And I sure as hell don’t need to buy anything now, I have too many things to play. I get tired of answering “I bought it but haven’t played it yet.” My backlog is exacerbated by the fact that I spend too much time playing…

Sharp’s implementation of CEC has always been garbage. What I love is that by default Sharp TVs completely power down all components required to turn the TV back on except through IR (HDMI, serial, network, etc). You have to go turn on the fast-boot, quick-boot, something, I forget exactly what it’s called in the menu…

The jump pack sections were stupidly fun.

They still have it in the little fridge at the front of my local Microcenter.  They’ve got the regular blue one, a red cherry one, and a rootbeer version as well. 

They actually made it way easier to get to now on the webpage.  Go to store.playstation.com and login.  Click on the Subscriptions tab in the middle bit and scroll down.  It’ll show you all of the active Plus games and you can add them right there.

The Blog post says they can still be viewed.
