After my mom dies I'll never have to see this douchenozzle again so I could hardly care less.
@Dave, I am very sorry you have to deal with that kind of special. I have a couple of family members that make my eyes want to roll out of their sockets, but they aren't quite as far gone as your brother (to my knowledge, anyway).
Meanwhile... "American Indian"? Are we talking Native American, or Indian-American/Asian-American? Because I can guarantee our last name is more common and easier to pronounce than "Nihsen", so by your brother's rules, can myself or @Jesterboom run for president?

I could get Aussie to run. Our last name is Blair. And he's half Mexican. Think that would that throw Dave's brother into a foaming-at-the-mouth seizure?Meanwhile... "American Indian"?

I'm very tired and emotionally destroyed from today. Is that video game thing real?? I need it.
Hardcore as cartridges were, they don't last forever, so purchasing them today can be a gamble.
Maybe another box of bears? or a new kitten?
Yes, but for people who still have all of their classic games (like I do) then it's a steal. You can just buy a Flash Cart like a PowerPak ($135), an EverDrive ($108) if you aren't interested in actually playing your collection. Those let you load games into the cart for play via SD card. Yes, that's an expensive investment but some original game carts cost a ton these days... for instance, my copy of Duck Tales 2 (with booklet) is currently going for around $160 dollars. My Earthbound is $190. It's cheaper if you want to play rare games on your TV, unless you're willing to run a cable from a laptop/pc to your TV and just buy a USB classic controller.
The Retron 5 is basically made for people who like classic games and playing them in a classic fashion but who don't want to keep 5-6 systems hooked up to their TV all the time or don't want to keep a cathode TV around to play their games. It's a limited but growing market... I'd get one once they start putting out systems that can emulate disc based systems.[DOUBLEPOST=1456463870,1456463495][/DOUBLEPOST]
Actually, most of the time all you need to do to repair a cartridge is replace the battery (which are only good for around 20 years though some do hang on), assuming the battery didn't leak onto the board or something. Most NES, SNES, and Genesis carts use Mask ROMs to hold their data and the process to make them literally burns the data into silica dies that will last basically forever. Some rare ones use EPROMs, which DO suffer bit decay, but those are the vast minority... basically all well cared for carts can be repaired fairly easily.

It's just not the same, man.The real easy way to enjoy classic games
...you can have all the ROMs you want, but do you have Tokunaga's Famicom Galaga cart?

Nah, everybody is gay for Bridget.
Was she one of those "Poison" deals where they made her a man because they felt hitting a woman was wrong, or was she always intended to be a cross dresser?
Pretty sure Bridget has always been a boy, and in game is referred to as a he. I'm not an expert on guilty gear lore, but I think he was born in a village where twins of the same gender was considered an ill omen, and so cross-dressed to avoid being sacrificed.
AH-I see, my follow-up question was what game he was from, and thank you.
How good ARE the Guilty Gear series by the way?

Almost right. Born in a village where identical twins are considered a curse, Bridget was raised as a girl by his parents, always being told he and his brother were fraternal twins, which is enough of a technicality to avoid trouble from the neighbors. Eventually, of course, Bridget ended up learning the truth, but by then... well, you can't fight how you're raised, right?[DOUBLEPOST=1456543548,1456543457][/DOUBLEPOST]
Pretty good. Really good artwork and excellent music, interesting characters, OK plot, and a control motif that's slightly different from most things out there (IE not a street fighter or KOF clone) but not enough to be stupid.
Very good, can't wait to check it out.
Upstairs neighbors seem to be moving out.
And they may be stealing their apartment's fridge while they do so. =\

Meh. It's like the McDonald's of tea, and tastes strongly of Assam. I personally prefer the taste of Sri Lankan ("Ceylon") tea, but Assam has its place (usually before my eyes are fully open).
