Most of the consoles I own are retro. I own all the Sega consoles aside from the Master System, so that means I have four Genesis, a Sega CD, two Game Gears, 32x, Saturn, and Dreamcast. For the retro Nintendo consoles I own, they are a toploader NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, and Gameboy Advance. I own a Xbox, I don't consider the 360 retro just yet. I own a PS one, and two PS2s. I still think the Genesis is the best retro console, Sonic is better than Mario IMO.

I use my computer and TV more than my phone. I use my phone here and there to browse Reddit, and play Pokemon Go but not as often as I'm playing games on my consoles or watching Youtube on my TV.

I didn't burn CDs that often because back in the day I didn't have a computer. I remember going over to a few of my friends houses who did have computers and watching them burn mix cds. I had a friend back in the day give me a burned copy of Green Day's American Idiot, and I remember listening to it off and on growing up. I even found a burned Yellowcard Ocean Avenue CD once in the field down the street from my house when I was a teenager. It barely played though since it was super scratched up. :V

Nope I don't consider it a waste of time or money on games. To me it's a fun hobby and my favorite way to escape from the real world from time to time. I already accumulated lots of games from my childhood, and most of the games I get these days are from a retro game treasure subscription which I pay $40 monthly for. I think it's worth it though, especially if you like to collect and play retro games.

Just recently the emulator Delta made it's way to the app store, which is very unusual to see a emulator get added to the app store. This is great for those who don't have a jailbroken iPhone and want to play their favorite classic Nintendo games on the go. You can also airplay your phone to a smart tv and play old school games that way too if you want! I went ahead and downloaded the app the other day, I'm not sure if it's still listed on the app store or not. If you're into emulation and have a iPhone that you don't want to jail break to play old Nintendo games, you should download this app!

Last week my friend and I went to Big Lots and I noticed they had a Sonic the Hedgehog themed keyboard, headset, and mouse. I bought the last one, and I've been using the mouse and keyboard for the past week! Unfortunately the headset only plays audio in the left speaker, which is a shame since the microphone actually doesn't sound bad at all! I have a nice microphone however, so I don't really need to use the headset. The keyboard works great, and the keys feel great. It's a mechanical keyboard that has RGB so I can type in the dark. The mouse feels great and also has RGB. I think this set is no longer being sold online, it originally went for $40 but I got it for $20. Anyways do you own any computer peripherals based on a gaming franchise?

I have a few imported games myself! I bought Rockman 8 for the Sega Saturn from a Japanese seller on Ebay. It's much cheaper to get Japanese Saturn imports since the US games are so expensive. I also have a subscription to Retro Game Treasure and I get a import in every single box. I've got a few different Super Famicom games now like Super Donkey Kong 2 (Donkey Kong Country 2), Puyo-Puyo and a few Dragon Quest games too. I also have a few different GBA/GB games that are Japanese which is great since they're not region locked. (I have a action replay to play imports on my Saturn, and a cartridge converter to play Super Famicom games. I still need to mod my PS2 to play Japanese games, likewise with my Gamecube...)

Have you ever done any urban exploration before? For those not aware of what urban exploration is, it's the act of exploring abandoned locations. It could be buildings, bridges, trails, roads anything that's abandoned really! I've tried doing this back in 2016, but my wife and I couldn't find our way into the building that I wanted to explore. Plus we decided to try and check out the other building behind it but we heard music playing, and while she was taking pictures of the scenery we noticed a guy watching us from one of the broken out windows. I heard a train whistle and we weren't too far from the tracks so I wanted to wait around and watch the train go by but it must have been on another track since it never passed us. Then I heard the music again, and noticed the same guy come walking around the corner with another guy and a woman. They all three had back packs, and one of them had a boom box. I think they were just train hoppers or homeless people, since they didn't say a word when they walked past us. I've been wanting to try and find other places to try and explore, but we don't have many places around here. This was all in East St. Louis and that's a sketchy area, so I don't really want to go back there. :V

I want forums to be the primary place people hang out online again. Discord really isn't a great place to get information and gather, because you still have to rely on outside websites like Google Docs to keep things organized. Plus it's difficult to locate old posts, at least now you can actually search for keywords in direct messages. Also I want frosted tips to come back in style too, I was never allowed to have them growing up as a kid lol.

Mine is my complete in box copy of Knuckles Chaotix. My wife got me it for my birthday way back in 2010, long before the price of the game went up. She got it for $40 on Amazon of all places. According to price charting, the game goes for $254 complete. As a die hard Sonic fan, I will never sell this especially since Sega has yet to re-release the game on any other platform. (It was released on Gametap in 2007 but that's the only other time it's been re-released on any official platform.)

I hope we get remasters of The Last Revelation, Chronicles, and The Angel of Darkness. (Especially that last one because the game really isn't that great to begin with and I think a remaster can redeem it.) Since the first three games got the remaster treatment, it's only fair these three get it as well. As for the trilogy, I think they're fine and though the games are almost 20 years old now they still hold up and look good IMO so they don't really need remasters IMO. Plus you can play them on your Series X/S since they're backwards compatible. (Or at least I know Anniversary is, that's how I played the game. I own the trilogy on PS3 though too.)

When I was a teenager, my best friend and I went around and kicked over lights that some people had around their sidewalks late at night. The next day, there was a couple who drove around my neighborhood and happened to see me outside riding my bike and asked me if I knew who knocked their lights over. I said "No" and they thanked me and told me if I seen anything out of the ordinary to let them know. Needless to say we never got caught lol.

The trailer for a new upcoming movie from the brilliant M. Night Shaymalan dropped earlier today. I watched it with my wife earlier and man I can't wait for it! There's a few of his movies I didn't care for, but the majority of them are awesome. Here's the trailer if you haven't watched it yet, below are my thoughts on it as well. I was not expecting the father to be the butcher mentioned by the shirt salesman. Makes me wonder what other twists are going to be in the film. Will his daughter make it out alive? Will he get caught? I just can't wait to see this!

For those not aware, Niantic recently updated the avatar customizations in Pokemon Go yesterday. Many fans have been complaining about the changes over on Twitter lately, and many people are begging Niatic to bring back the old avatar system. As someone who plays Pokemon Go the new avatar customizations don't bother me too much, in fact I think it's cool that it represents different body types now rather than just one body type for male/female avatars. In fact, the avatars are more gender neutral in a way, and I think that's why so many people are upset over it. Other reasons though are the models themselves looking a bit janky and not as polished as they used to be.

Mine was definitely when I made it to Uru Mais in Legend of Legaia. There's a part when the three main characters fall asleep and you get a glimpse into their past. Vahn, the main character dreams about the time when he was 4 years old and his mother was sick. He overhears the Village Elder that his mom can recover if someone is able to get medicine from Drake Castle, but no one could leave the village because of the mist. Vahn tries to leave Rim Elm to get the medicine,but his father realizes what happened and goes after Vahn. His mom passed away and his dad was fine but was injured. That caught me off guard when I first played the game, and it made me cry. I was 12 years old when I first beat the game.

It's similar to Mega Man, it's a fast paced action platformer. Keiji Inafune, the guy who created Mega Man worked on it. It wasn't as good as it could have been, so now I'm weary about backing Kickstarter projects. You can read more about it on the wikipedia article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mighty_No._9

If you prefer to play your Switch on the go and love handhelds then it's definitely worth getting a Switch Lite. My wife loves handhelds, she always prefers to play Pokemon on the go so she was happy when I got her a Switch Lite. Plus it's cheaper too, the only downfall is if you get stick drift you have to take the entire handheld apart to fix it whereas on the normal Switch you can easily just take apart the joy cons without having to worry about disassembling the whole Switch.

I hated math, I could never comprehend it and it took me years to finally understand some basic math. I was always better at English, I always did a great job writing papers. I liked some science courses I took but I hated Biology. I didn't like my teacher for one thing, but it also confused me at times and reminded me too much of math class in some aspects.

I don't recommend the Hyperkin cables. I've bought two cables for the Sega Genesis and both of them crapped out on me. I like Hyperkin's controllers though, it's a shame their HD adapters for the Genesis aren't reliable. I did get a Xbox HD adapter too, but I haven't used my original Xbox in a while so I'm not sure if the cord still works or not.

I prefer to have short hair, it's easier to deal with and if my hair gets too long I would have to put it up in a man bun at work since I work in a factory and I don't want to do that lol. My father has long hair and I don't know how he deals with it, I know he would comb it constantly.

I currently have 450 GB of free space on the SSD installed in my computer. I have a couple external hard drives from older computers and a broken PS4, but I have lots of files still stored on the hard drives. (The PS4 hard drive I just formatted and installed Launchbox on it.) The hard drive from the PS4 was 500 GB, the hard drive from my old desktop is a 1 TB hard drive, I can't remember how big the other hard drive is. That one came from my wife's old toshiba laptop. As for my PS5 I know I need to get a extra drive soon since I'm almost out of space. I still have about 700 gb of space on my Xbox Series S's SSD.

It seems that these people never played The Lion King on the Genesis/SNES nor Earthworm Jim 2 on the Genesis/SNES. I still have yet to beat either game because I keep getting stuck in certain levels. In The Lion King, I barely ever made it past the stampede level, whereas in Earthworm Jim 2 I get stuck on the Flying King level. I also think Mega Man and Bass is more difficult than Mega Man 9. Heck I woulds say Mega Man 11 is more difficult than Mega Man 9! I've been wanting to get that Shinobi game, all the Shinobi games aren't easy btw. I never beat The Revenge of Shinobi because it's very difficult, same with Shadow Dancer. (Shadow Dancer is more like the first Shinobi game from the Arcade/Master System.)

I never leave home without my phone as well as my wallet. It's always good to carry your wallet around, it's much easier than carrying your card/license in your pocket. I remember one time I went to work and left my phone at home. I felt out of place, and my breaks were kind of boring too. I did talk to a few of my coworkers though.

My first job was a cashier at a local grocery store. I hated it and I barely made minimum wage, I got paid every week too but I also was part time so that didn't help. Plus you have to join a union if you work at the local grocery chains, and they take out union fees.

I always want to go back to sleep first thing in the morning if it's a weekday. Now if it's the weekend the first thing that comes to mind is that I need to get some caffeine so I can wake up and do the things I need to get done around the house.
