Same. Grew up with Intellivision & later an NES once that boom hit. We only had hand-me-down computers from my uncle and the idea to use it to play a game was so foreign & bizarre. Didn’t buy a new personal computer until after I was out of high school & still have never seen it as a gaming platform

That’s crazy. I caught an episode of it the other day on Pluto TV & thought I was having a fever dream because it had the lady from Titus & Lost as Drew’s girlfriend & Mimi was living at his house, so had to look on Wikipedia for all the crazy stuff that happened on the show after I stopped watching

They already came for my Arby’s, the franchise here suddenly closed down with almost no notice a few years ago & now the closest one is 100 miles away.

I don’t know what their franchise standards are, but if franchisees are trying to save food cost by underportioning they need better inspections.

Remember when ordering from a drive through involved shouting into a speaker and the only response you could hear sounded like the adults in Peanuts cartoons. Some things technology has made better. It’s so much easier to order and customize food in the app and gets deals and discounts.

Great game, and so is the 4th. Would be great to see the 2nd and 3rd games get the remake treatment and made more playable.

Now you tell me. I just got back from 711 with a case of Mr. Goodbars with the movie waiting for me.

How does this all tie in with the Paul is Dead theory? Has his stand in replacement been replaced by someone who is 83/5?

and it’s an actual RPG unlike the button mashing PlatinumGames style game they made and slapped a 16 on it for some reason.

I played though the entire game and got the platinum trophy and don’t remember a single thing about it.

Isn’t it the show that had the lady from Survivor and Meghan McCain? How off putting of a person do you have to be to not get a callback?

Why would they do that when they can charge $50 for a 2D-3D remake?

I’ll take the SNES Bubsy and pretty much any other mediocre mascot platformer over any of the collect-a-thon garbage on the N64.

Bubsy 3D is quite awful, but the 2D games are perfectly fine, if a big bland.

Somehow I’m on this guy’s email list and constantly get those disguised survey emails and they keep coming even after trying to unsubscribe, so pretty sure one of those California privacy and protection statutes being violated.

I’m going to assume part of the joke is the Dunkin’ box since nothing they sell even remotely approaches what a donut in either taste or texture.

No. There is nothing of value to be said about ‘rasslin and it’s absurd when anyone attempts to relate it in any way to something that has value or is in any way related to entertainment.

If they ever get Kojima to make RGG game.

I think the extent of my Tron experience will continue to remain the original movie and the Intellivision games. Clearly don’t need to pay attention to anything beyond that.

It’s probably going to be exclusive to his cars operating system and dozens of idiots will crash trying to play it while they think their robot car is driving itself and they’ll all declare it the best thing ever made.

Those were the good days. Now they pull all the seasonal stuff weeks before the holiday so there’s not even anything left to clearance out. They already have Christmas stuff encroaching into the Halloween section. In another week or so they won’t even have any Halloween candy left.
