because, you know expensive consoles offered by a variety of manufacturers worked so well in the past.

That's the C110 skyline sold from 72-77 (the generation after the Hakosuka) also known as the "Kenmeri"

Thanks for sharing.

I've been a long time Daft Punk fan and I honestly don't like the new album... I know a lot of other people do, I can't hate them for doing whatever it is they want to do, just not for me.

Good to see someone else recognizes Childish Gambino I' love his work.

Also never heard of Kavinsky, but it…

I was very happy to see Run the Jewels on this list... easily my favorite album this year.
Oh yeah you can also download it COMPLETELY FREE: http://foolsgoldrecs.com/runthejewels/

RTJ have been touring the US and Europe giving free or cheap ($3) venues everywhere they go... I honestly don't know how they're even making…

I'm into arcade machines so I've got a few spare large CRTs around. I've been debating building what I consider to be the ultimate classic game display. Find yourself a 29" "tri-sync" monitor (you can sometimes find used ones on Craigslist or arcade auctions for $100-$150, worst case you can buy a new one for about…

It saddens me that more people aren't bothered by stuff like this. People complain about 720p vs 1080p all day and then they give a whatever shrug to modern LCDs taking a big dump when displaying classic games.

Even Sega has arcade sticks that pre-date the AES

I'm assuming your point is that somehow all arcade sticks remind you Neo-Geo... I love Neo Geo but they've been making arcade sticks since long before the AES.

I said explicitly in my post that I wasn't trying to call you a liar because I litterally wasn't trying to call you a liar. I was simply explaining that I had a lot of heavy use of a lot of Dreamcast console and your post was the first I'd ever heard of this problem.

If I want to keep my consoles is top shape then I'd…

I guess I missed it. care to explain?

I've never seen a Neo Geo Controller with a VMU slot and the word "Dreamcast" across the face.

I own 8 Dreamcast console and they've all received heavy use over the years, I had many friends with them too and this is the first I've ever heard of overheating problem or a blue screen of death...

A quick google search for "Dreamcast overheating" and "Dreamcast bsod" turned up nothing about problems with the console.

…

Buy the official arcade stick by AgeTec it's a really well built unit, arguably better than most arcade sticks of the time, and super handy considering how many fantastic 2D fighters and SHUMPS are on that console.

I write software and I keep a little sign on my desk that says "The upset over a missed deadline will go away, but the terrible taste of a bad product will linger for it's lifetime."

Whenever someone come complaining that things need to be done faster I just point them to the sign and tell them that I'm working as fast…

I had both pre-ordered but then decided to cancel the PS4 since there were no exclusives at launch that I was interested in... I'll pick one up next winter once the good stuff starts coming out.

Say what you will about Microsoft, they've managed to put out at least 3 of what I consider "must-have" exclusives at…

You mean the "CCTV system" that is manufactured in China and could be potentially hacked for a local government to subvert... I can't imagine why the Chinese government would want to allow that.

I think the reason people aren't interested in it is because you can Buy an Original Xbox for about $30, then you can soft mod it and pirate games by ripping them right to the hard drive.

Piracy is significantly more difficult to do this on other consoles borderline impossible on cartridge based system (until the…

Spoken like someone who never really bothered to look at the OG Xbox's library....

As someone who dosen't really care for FPSs and never owned Halo but still bought an OG Xbox in it's first year and loved the hell out of it... I respectfully disagree.

Some of the games in my original Xbox library:
Conker: Live and…

I would suspect that they're checked infrequently enough (eg: once every 5 years or so if/whenever there is a problem) that they'll just break or cut open the cement to get in there.

Even still it might have been smart to simply figure out a way to use locking manhole covers.

Interesting, where my win 8 machine is dedicated to gaming I don't use any apps like MS Office and I launch everything from the Metro UI and pretty much always get returned to the Metro UI. The only exception being apps that don't support it, which move to desktop mode on launch.
