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

I don't care who votes for who, but one thing that does kinda tick me off are unfaithful electors who refuse to vote for whoever the majority voted for; they are hand-picked elites by a state that votes for the state winner, no matter the party-affiliation. Or at least that's how it should be.

This only enables America to be an anarchy than democracy. How would Trump supporters feel if George Soros bought off a few electors in Texas to pick Hillary instead of going with their duties to represent the majority vote? I think they would be incredibly annoyed the electorates failed them and invalidated their votes.

Of those mentioned, I'm subbed to Happy Console Gamer, Metal Jesus, Game Sack, Gaming Historian, Pat (for their podcast topics, mainly), LGR, and AVGN; Happy Console Gamer, Game Sack, Gaming Historian, and LGR are my favorites of the 10 ranked channels. Super Bunnyhop (honorable mention on the video) doesn't really count as a retro gaming channel as he mainly talks modern video games; awesome channel, though. AVGN is enjoyable, but has declined over the years, same with Classic Game Room; that said, I feel they still belong on the list.

I would have included Spida1a, Derek Anderson (Happy Video Game Nerd), Retro Core, Kim Justice, and Lukemorse1. I probably would also include John's Arcade as he specializes in arcade hardware, even if he gives off an annoying Adam Richman-vibe.

I feel Twitch >>> YouTube in terms of gaming content, especially given all the copyright BS YouTube has; my subbed Twitch channels are Dead_Flip (pinball), The Mexcian Runner (NES speedrunner and a Chrontendo-like series, NESMania), LordBBH (MAME streamer), Macaw (streamer of obscure games and consoles) and soon-to-be Puri_Puri (Playstation, Saturn, and Dreamcast streamer).

[NEC Console Resource / Re: Re-Introduction]

So which of your systems would you say gets the most game time?

I would say right now the 3DS and GBA, but I emulate these days for older consoles; I gravitate towards NES emulation as it's the first console I owned and it helps that I still enjoy the library.

[General Gaming / Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.]

I'm playing Fire Emblem Fates on Hard; awesome game! I have all three paths, which Conquest if the hardest of them. Also spending some time on my EZ-Flash IV and GB EverDrive.

[NEC Console Resource / Re-Introduction]

Hello, I never posted much on this site, so I thought I'd re-introduce myself. I registered around 2008, before the site had all that drama with the infamous Nintega. I'm not a troll, just an avid gamer interested in the PC-Engine as well as all gaming formats who will never cause trouble. I love video games and pinball (both real and digital).

Consoles I currently own:

Atari 2600
Mattel Intellivision
Bally Astrocade
ColecoVision
Magnavox Odyssey 2
Vectrex
NES (Original & Top-Loader)
Atari 7800
Sega Master System (in the form of the Power Base Converter)
Sega Genesis
NEC Turbo Duo
Super NES (currently not working)
Sega Saturn
Sony Playstation 2 (NA Original & Japanese Slim)
Nintendo Game Boy Advance (Original & Front-lit SP)
Nintendo GameCube
Microsoft Xbox
Nintendo DS (Original)
Sony PSP (Original & 2000)
Microsoft Xbox 360 (NA & Japanese)
Nintendo Wii
Sony Playstation 3
Nintendo 3DS (NA & Japanese Original)
Sony PS Vita (Original)
Nintendo Wii U
Sony Playstation 4

I also have a 2013-2014 PC build and an iPad 2. I don't collect much anymore, though.

[General Gaming / Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.]

I've mostly been playing games on my Wii and PS2. The games in question are Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection (an excellent pinball collection), Ninja Gaiden 1 & 2 for the Wii (While I own NG2 on the NES, I just love the Wii classic controller), and Mega Man Anniversary Collection (mostly in celebration for Mega Man 9) for the PS2. My favorite Mega Man games are, obviously, the first three games with the third installment being my favorite. The other Mega Man games all have their ups and downs but all are enjoyable enough to play at least once.

Here's how I'd rank the games:

Mega Man 3=2>1>>5>6>7>4>8

The unlockable arcade games are enjoyable diversions, though they are a tad too short (even for arcade games).

[General Gaming / Re: what are your next console purchase forecasts?]

I plan on getting an Xbox 360 and PS3 once I get a job once I move to Connecticut.

[General Gaming / Re: Mega Man 9 on WiiWare. You are all in for a shock.]

I think adding in glitches is a pretty interesting, but dumb move; however it's negligible considering it's optional. Also, I wonder how long Mega Man 9 is going to be, especially since the interview revealed it would be too big for the NES? I'm pretty excited for this game, though at the same time, cautiously optimistic; however, I feel it will be at least the best Mega Man since the third installment.
