[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

just like they do with star wars, they keep making new "versions" of crap i have already owned for years.  if i had a ps4 i would certainly buy it, so dont get me wrong.  for some reason i can never have enough discs of ristar and comix zone

[Off-Topic / Re: The Problem W/people who have a problem w/Apu.]

Hank Azaria was in Hermans Head.  Another FOX casualty in the 90's.  Ran along side Shakey Ground which was the screen debut of Jennifer Love Hewitt (credited back then as just "Love Hewitt").  Yet another early release from FOX.  They got it right when they cancelled Top of the Heap.  That was a MWC spinoff with one of the Friends actors.  I think it was LeBlanc.  He was basically a male version of Kelly and his dad was a con artist.  It was terrible.

[Off-Topic / Re: Donald Trump Thread aka End of Days]

It's a given that costs go up every year.  The point is that the increases are expected to be steeper with the changes Trump's made and the uncertainty he's thrown into the system.  With elimination of the mandate, it's projected that many relatively healthy people will drop insurance coverage; the same number of claims spread over fewer participants means the costs per person go up more sharply.

I don't know the exact numbers off hand, but I'd rather keep paying 10% annual increases than 20% every year.

And if you get a subsidy, that's getting cut too.

Really?  You're attributing the skyrocketing increases caused by the ACA to costs going up every year?  Our insurance has never been as bad as when the ACA went through.  Our deductible literally doubled in one year.  When everyone at my company complained, we were told it was because of the ACA.  It's exactly as NE146 said:  we're covered in case of a catastrophe, but we pay through the nose for standard medical procedures.

you'd be thankful if there was a catastrophe

[Off-Topic / Re: streaming services]

We have Netflix which is what we mainly use.  Amazon which is more of a bonus since we mainly got it for the shipping, and CrunchyRoll, since my wife and I are weebs who watch a lot of anime. 

Have debated HULU many a time, but can't pull the trigger.  The concept of paying for content but still having to watch ads as well rubs me the wrong way.

We had HBO Now during Game of Thrones, but cancelled it until WestWorld comes out again.

hulu has commercials???  lol
you just made my decision.

[Off-Topic / streaming services]

i have netflix and amazon and i love them both.
What is on hulu that i NEED to watch?  Justifying a subscription.

[Fighting Street / Re: Does anyone like the New England Patriots?]

Did you hate them because Lutz hated them, because Lutz loved them, or is Lutz nonrelated to your hatred?

lutz and i went to high school together.  we grew up in foxboro... so needless to say...

[Fighting Street / Re: Does anyone like the New England Patriots?]

As long as we're complaining about sports, man, the last minute on the clock in a reasonably close basketball game is maybe the low point of professional athletics.  The game stops being about anything but correct usage of fouls and timeouts and stops even remotely resembling the game that I'd intended to watch.  I think basketball would be a better game if you had to call the foul yourself for it to count.  If I was a player heading up the lane who was fouled I'd probably think something along the lines of "I don't care that he brushed up against me, just let me sink this shot and get my points so that we can move on already."

last two minutes are tortue.  too many time outs per team.  see... there is one good thing about football.
you commit a penalty in those last couple minutes, they run 10 seconds off the clock to DISCOURAGE it.
(you can thank the pats for that rule too)

[Fighting Street / Re: Does anyone like the New England Patriots?]

poor zeets.  he just wants to feel "different", so you dont accidentally paint HIM with a broad stroke of any kind.  That is truly his fear.  He tries to stick n' move as some kind of defense mechanism.
If this topic started out with "I HATE FOOTBALL...discuss", he would be the first one to point out all the great things about the sport.  Its a family legacy for people who grew up watching, the GOOD community efforts of many players, and that one time in 1979 when a make-a-wish kid got to a game because of an act of kindness from a player.  these would be the only examples he would need to designate football as the best and most unifying sport EVER!
again, all of that is IF the thread started out as a knock against the sport.
Whatever the topic of any kind, you can be sure he has a long, ignorant, opposite stance, pulled out of thin air, back seats of mazdas, or trent reznor voices inside his casio drum machine(s)

[Fighting Street / Re: Does anyone like the New England Patriots?]

you didnt like tecmo bowl?

[Fighting Street / Re: Does anyone like the New England Patriots?]

I didn't watch much football this year though.  A few of the Packers did the seated national anthem protest at the start of the first regulation game, and that was all I needed to turn off the TV.

god i hate this whole discussion.  caring either way gives it some level of validity.
when it comes down to it, it's about colin kaper-prick.  a shitty back up quarterback.
if you want to use a platform you have access to, at least be somewhat "ok" at what you do.

[Off-Topic / Re: Draw a game with MS Paint quiz]

CLEARLY SPRIGGIAN!

i think you are wrong.  that game has a ship in it.

[General Gaming / Re: The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle - NES]

its funny because this game in japan is Roger Rabbit themed lol

lol, really?  never knew that.
so is OUR roger rabbit something different there?

[General Gaming / The Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle - NES]

Anyone?
I asked for this game for christmas and recieved it.  I always remembered enjoying it as a kid, but hadn't played it in over 25 years.  I am on level 36 and proceeding when time allows.
For those not familiar, its basically a platformer with pac-man style of progression.
Carrots scattered around to which you need to get all of them to clear a level. (dots)
Avoid other looney tune characters. (ghosts)
Get the medicine for short killing power. (power pellets)
Can't Jump
Other artifacts are peppered around to kill the baddies, like anvils you can push off a ledge if you time it right to fall on characters running below you.  (this is kind of satisfying when successful)
Stairs/doors/pipes get you up and down the floors. (adhering to the levels theme) since you can't jump
Many levels look for you to take a set path and the other characters react similar to pac-man ghosts where they move based on your movements (you can use this to your advantage and freeze them sometimes, but it's not easy)

Basically, the point of this thread is... what games have you revisited after many years and still enjoyed?

[Off-Topic / Re: does anybody know what this dragon is?]

looks like a match!  thanks zero!

Is it metal or plastic?  Looks like Smaug

is plastic.
i'm curious about the symbol on its wing.  it must reference something

[Off-Topic / does anybody know what this dragon is?]

doesn't seem to have any writing on it.  about 8" and has a peg in one foot.

[Off-Topic / Re: Star Wars Episode 8 The last of us]

It was a movie with explosions and a lot of weird creatures. Wish it had some cooler vistas and environments; the casino was shot so closely and so far out you didn't get a good feel for it. There were also a lot of times where I had a hard time understanding the topography/architecture where it seemed they were teleporting around from scene to scene; it didn't feel connected at times.

Also, weird hair dye job and alient tit milk - those things happen

the casino was horrible.  that was too "prequel" to me.
and uh, are we really overlooking the most terrible, horrible, no good, very bad, Leia floating in space?  WTF???
and Luke called Jedi a religion.  which i found strange.
the campy jokes, poe acting "on hold" was so un-star wars.  i got angry 10 mins into the movie and it never recovered.

Apocalypse is also another overlooked gem.  I think most people assumed it sucked because of the bruce willis/movie license.  It's an overhead run 'n gun with platforming.  Really could be themed after a number of different things.   The game itself is good fun.
