    Just paid my own salary (mostly)

    I took over the North American IT department of a company based out of New Zealand recently. Of all the things they handed off to me, the one I wasn't looking forward to the most was the Verizon Wireless account. Last month I broke down and went through all of the lines. I found: A few lines...

    The Lynx on the left I already had, but it has a terrible screen. The right hand one is in much better shape. Will probably keep the older one for backup/parts. I always wanted the carbon fiber looking NGPC, so was psyched when this lot came with one. NGPC was a really good system, but tried...

    My pathetic NG collection - please mock!

    Genesis, 32X and Sega CD. Genesis is my number 1, though. Nuts. I wanted to show them at original size for details' sake. Guess this will have to do. Besides, like I said...forgot R-Type on SMS.

    Defining Shooters (Shmups, if you will)

    So the last few days I was looking up shooters for the NES. A couple were listed that confused me, like Gun.Smoke, King's Knight, and Adventures of Dino Riki. I have all 3 of them, and while I've played Gun.Smoke, I have a hard time really thinking of it as a shooter, despite the scrolling...

    Sega Genesis cartridge caps

    Can anyone tell me if the caps used in genny carts are different depending on titles (I assume this is the case), or do they use a consistent size/type? Found a decent copy of Alisia Dragoon for cheap and it will not play, despite the "Licensed by Sega" screen showing up. Thought I'd try to...

    Body Piercings and how they affect everyday activities

    So, many years ago (like, 2002) I got a Prince Albert. I've had it so long I just take it for granted. However, the ring has a bad habit of causing urine to spray in a fan. I prefer tall urinals because they catch everything anyway...but at home I tend to sit down to pee, ESPECIALLY in the...

    WTT: Metal Warriors SNES for shmups

    Hey there ladies and gents. Got a loose copy of Metal Warriors, and would RATHER have a good shmup or two. Market value ( :thevt: ) is $200 or so, but mine has a tear on the spine part of label, so I don't think it's worth quite that. So I'd LIKE to trade for: SNES - Space Megaforce OR SNES...

    Looking for recommendations

    I suck at shooters. The only ones I've beaten are arcade games that I could just keep feeding quarters into, like Giga Wing. I freakin love em though. Gradius 3 is still one of my all time faves, though I absolutely cannot beat it without a game genie for infinite lives. Got to the final...

    Moving toward digital distribution

    The more gaming moves towards digital distribution, the less interested in it I become. To me, gaming was not always JUST about the games, it had a tactile facet to it. Putting a cartridge into a console, having a game in your hands...I miss that. When you purchase a license to download a...
