Being bad at turning. There are endless examples I could provide here, but I figure most of them go without saying. The one which stands out the most in my mind at the moment is this: One intersection near my home was recently changed which introduced a very mild (about as "harsh" as pictured) 30 mph S-curve into the…
I was hoping they'd also fix some of the godawful continuity/ordering of shots that made up each ending. Apparently that was a bit much to ask for. At least things feel considerably more complete, so I can at least look past that now.
That's nothing. One of my friends in college played through about 80% of Doom III ... WITHOUT USING THE FLASHLIGHT. He genuinely did not know it was available and got around using the pistol's muzzle flash to light things up. Someone was eventually kind enough to point it out to him, but this was well after…
I think the only one in the U.S. so far is located within a Mitsuwa Marketplace in Arlington Heights, IL (just north of Chicago). Their standard patties are a 1/4 lb beef + pork combination with a generously applied teriyaki-like glaze. Toppings are the standard set but with egg also available (pictured above). They…
Great, now you've got me craving Gabutto Burger... except the closest one to me is 500 miles away. Thanks, jerks.
That booklet was my first exposure to real racing theory, though I was only ~10 at the time and could only make use of some of it. Still, it's largely responsible for getting me hooked on these types of games and pursuing any readily available knowledge about the inner workings of an automobile and/or how to drive…
You probably aren't going to find a dual-compatibility stick from any of the flagship brands. If you have some time and basic soldering/wiring skills, there are a handful of tutorials and/or 3rd party PCBs out there that can enable you to add platform compatibility without too much difficulty. That way you can get…
How about some internal shots? Some of us like to swap out various components for ones we prefer more or add PCBs to make it compatible with other consoles. I'm sure I'd AT LEAST be getting a new set of buttons for this thing if I were to pick it up.
Big time gamer as a kid in the 90s, mostly on the SNES. Didn't own a Genesis, but had at least some exposure to it from friends and family. Got up to 81/93 within the game alone and was eventually able to complete it after some internet searching.
I'd have to go with the combination of 1) other drivers, and 2) two wheels. When considering the things that can and do go wrong on the road and how a motorcycle takes to those moments are just a little bit beyond what I'm willing to put up with.
Just a heavy coating of dust? Meh. As many others here have confirmed, cases from poorly kept smoker's houses have it MUCH worse. I had one such friend of a family friend who requested my computer troubleshooting services from time to time.

Listening to my parents and picking a Ford Escort ZX2 with an automatic instead of a manual for my 2nd vehicle. While the automatic was at least somewhat accommodating to spirited drives, it still cost about $1200 more than comparable used examples and caused me to prematurely grow bored with the vehicle.
Different strokes and all that :-)
I keep things clean as well, but unfortunately my hands tend to sweat a bit. I also tend to play a lot of racing games, which tend to require continuous L2/R2 inputs and frequent movement in opposite directions on the stick. With the dualshock's convex sticks and shoulder buttons, this leads to me having to…
Keyboard/mouse got my first pick because I feel like I can do more things with greater accuracy than what a gamepad will permit in most cases. Then again, I've been involved with PCs in one way or another (including gaming, of course) from grade school to my current career so it all comes naturally here.
1st - Keyboard and mouse. Hugely configurable and mouse precision can't be matched. Suits most genres, save for racing and fighting, but other peripherals can be easily obtained for those.
Reminds me of how we recently lost our drag strip here in Kansas City.
I'm ashamed to admit I actually owned one of these... The only good thing about it was an integrated rumble pack.
