Yep, I still have my wood-paneled original....and my is subjective, it belonged to my Grandfather who loved gadgets and Vegas in the 60's.....when he found out the base system came with Video Poker and there was a Horse Racing game for it suddenly he's got his friends over showing it off and...
The terrifying part is..........this is a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time ago now...but I still have it installed.
Back when you measured your mp3 download* times from usenet in minutes.....
*allegedly...
Meanwhile, GTA 6 will launch on consoles at 30fps and will still sell 500 million copies in pre-orders....but every RTX-enabled game will still sell small because Call of Duty and it's ilk are on version 14, and people get enough dopamine hit out of the freebie versions of Warzone and Fortnight...
He didn't, I did, and I got it confused with probably Karateka (which used the same fluid animation style) and Aztek (an actual game that sorta played like Prince of Persia, at least from my memory).....
So you're telling me I can be a cloaked assassin with a sweet mecha-dragon exploring a ruined wasteland dominated by a magical volcano spewing lava AND get 5% off any in-stock, non-sale item!?!?!?!
I was wrong, I was thinking the Prince of Persia like game I had on Apple II was early 80s....I'm actually kinda shocked it was a 1989 release, that was long after I'd given up on our Apple II and moved on to a Commodore 64/Amiga...the game I must be thinking of MIGHT be AZTEK, for Apple II and...
See: Steve Jobs. It's just part of his brand. Bill Gates famously wears the same Casio Duro Quartz dive-watch every year. Watch stops working, he buys another one. Retail about $60 bucks on sale.
I'm the guy that preferred the combat to the puzzle solving games. Example, the only Prince of Persia game I enjoyed (beyond the first one, back in the early 80's on either Apple or Commodore....just thinking about that made bats and dust fly out of my ears just now it's so long ago) was the...
Ewwwwww no thanks. Tomb Raider games never clicked with me, because even back in the day I kept asking myself "Why is this chick doing an Indiana Jones mission........in hot pants and a tank top?".
This won't be an interview by BYTE journalists....."So tell me about Gee-Pee-You's...am I pronouncing that correctly? These are highly-valuable components found inside of Computers, correct?"
Guessing its this: Shadows of Truth, 4 diverse characters are tasked with hunting down Lara Croft, infiltrating her mansions and stealing-back the artifacts she stole from indigenous peoples and making her pay physically, socially and financially for slaughtering all that local wildlife in her...
But to be fair to em', those little IEM's like airpod pros do some pretty spectacular surround s
Me 2, I worked at a rental store inside of an electronics store, like imagine if a Best Buy had a VHS Rental Store (complete with saloon door pr0n room for authenticity....nothing like when some...
You have to be a certain age to appreciate the magic of owning a copy of a movie....and that age is old enough to remember a day before VHS Rental Stores existed......back when if you didn't see a movie in the movie theater, well, there's a damned good chance you might never, ever see that...
Supposedly theres a 1080p/4k fan-scan of a 35mm print that is available for $25 online.......the problem is the clips show it completely unrestored, and the print is...well, it's as good as the last 'best example' of the film that I saw, which I believe was a widescreen (but not anamorphic)...
I'm still holding out hope for even a half-way decent DVD release of THE KEEP...........................but I'm thinking that train is never pulling into the station =[
Saw that, immediately thought the same thing...it moved quick enough, but not quick enough, like a human would. In our case it's limited by thought and muscle reaction speeds....in the robots case....same damn thing.
I've tried 2 or 3 times to start Fallout, even completed several of the main and side quests......but after climbing and then descending my 10th or 15th mountain just to literally get anywhere in a reasonable amount of time, I realized a sad truth: I loved exploring DC. I loved exploring...
This is one of those situations where everyone will collectively high five one another, ISP's will fake-smile and applaud a decision that is 'good for the people of the U.S.A.!", political activist groups will throw awards dinners to hand out bullshit statues and plaques to politicians and all...
Quakeworld...was that the first major "Drop In Multiplayer" where matchmaking wasn't required........I just remember showing up in my first sesson of quakeworld and some dude had a wicked Spawn model, but none of the gun models worked so everyone had the default weapon :D Then a few weeks...
Anyone else remember Kali over dial-up? Duke Nukem with 200 ping that was still playable and amazing because everyone had 200 ping.......that was my first true PvP multiplayer experience.
Let me rephrase the question: If you have no cellular service, and you pull out your personal PC or device or what have you..... do any games out there with a multiplayer component still support ad-hoc lan play like way back in the day.......or do they all require your device to have WAN access...
Oh the time we wasted doing Quake 2 Deathmatch on the company LAN back in the day.....we all had Admin rights....I think it was the....Lithium II mod? Off-hand grapple, QuakeWorld like swappable models....turn the BFG into a 10x damage mine layer......such times....<3
But wake UP! Its 2024...
I don't think I've ever opened Publisher..................and to think of all those newsletters and flyers I didn't publish as a result................oh god.........now its too late :(
We had trash 80's in the classroom, never saw a Mac until college and by then it was already "writing on the wall" time for Commodore, Atari, and all the other "non-Clone PC manufacturers".....back in the late 80's Begun, the Clone Wars had........
Apple doesn't exactly scream "Defense Contract with the Military" in their company bio anyhow.....the funny thing about Apple is this isn't some elegant solution where it's easy to take on/off like a pair of glasses, it's literally just another face mask, which is almost always the #1 universal...
.................................................crap. Got my TLA's mixed up...well 4..evga is 4.....crap I didn't even get that right. sigh.
Hey Claw Machine Tho!...<ducks, hides in shame>.

I'm the opposite, every now and then I get lazy and skip the streaming or the mkv or the BD that I might own...and just grab the DVD because its there......and I'm reminded of just what a big deal it was to get those DVD's at 480p. "EVERY PORE ON HIS FACE" and so forth...it's there....the...
The Windows Key...........the only key on your entire keyboard you have KBM'ed your way into actively avoiding touching, which translates into you honestly forgetting it's there and wtf it's supposed to be good for to begin with.
Hail Mary kind of play going on here, WestRock2k, if Sony suddenly bought-out Rockstar Games, Microsoft would be playing all the same cards, showing up to court looking like they were homeless, showing pictures of Microsoft Headquarters "CLEARANCE SALE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS!" signs, pictures of...
