The Blackangel

Am I the only one here who remembers a time when the internet didn't exist? When I was growing up, there was no internet. Computers were restricted to government agencies, unless you were incredibly wealthy. Computers had tubes, just like their monitors. In the early days, 16k memory was a tower the size of a grown man. For those too young to remember, 16k was the average size of any random image back then. So as a kid, I was playing outside. I was running around and playing with no form of technology aside from my cassette tapes and vinyl records. The internet is younger than most people think. I was in my mid teens before it came into being. I'm much older than the internet, and to be honest, I miss the days when technology didn't rule our lives.

I was born in 1982 and grew up listening to bands like Poison, Whitelion, Cinderella, Mötley Crüe, Faster Pussycat, Ratt, and Bon Jovi just to name a few. After listening to music that attained perfection in 1986 (scientific fact😉) having to listen to the shit puked up in the 90's was murder on the ears. I stopped listening to the radio in the early 90's and stuck to my tapes and mix tapes that I had put together.

Coolio died yesterday (9-28-2022) at a friends house. He was 59 years old. Apparently he just dropped dead in the bathroom. He finally reached the Gangstas Paradise. Rest In Peace, Coolio. You have earned it. August 1, 1963 to September 28, 2022 I would embed Gangstas Paradise, but I'm unable to embed anything for some reason.

Every experience in life is a learning opportunity. We learn more from our failures than we do from our successes. So failure (while disappointing) should be accepted and used for self improvement. Does that make sense and do you agree?

Does anyone have any experience with any of these? I'm seeing advertisements all the time when I'm playing games on my phone, and have become curious about them.

Ave I'm hoping you like to talk about the old days of gaming. I'm a classic gamer myself and have been gaming since the Atari 2600. So make yourself at home, and have fun. We're looking forward to your presence here.

Where are you from?

This is something that needs to be pointed out specifically. VGR is a private company. It is NOT a public corporation. Being here at this forum is a PRIVILEGE. IT IS IN NO WAY A RIGHT. You cannot sue if you get banned from a PRIVATE forum. If you knew anything about law, you would know that. Adolf wasn't able to sue when he was banned from Twitter, and you would be laughed out of court if you try to sue when you inevitably get banned here. And if you have your own video game forum, then what the hell are you doing here? Oh I know. No one is willing to put up with your bullshit and snowflake tyranny, so there is no one there. As for owning your own business, you yourself tried to use donut shops in another thread as the height of professions, so I'm more than willing to bet that you work at one. Also you went too hard at your laughable "achievements" in gaming. If you had said you held, oh I don't know, less than 30 gaming titles instead of 57, your pathetic rant may have had a chance at being seen as something more than a snowflake rant when he doesn't get his way. Your fellow Klan members proved what they will do when they don't get their way on January 6th. They commit domestic terrorism. While we're at it, PROVE IT. You make all these bullshit claims, so put your money where your mouth is. Give us links to unbiased reports. Give us the link to your game forum. If you can't do anything but kiss your own ass, you're not going to be anything but a joke for the rest of your life, just like you are now.

As for a favorite place, mine is a toss up. My 3 favorites (in no particular order) are Subway, Popeye's, and Long John Silvers. LJS is definitely the least healthy one due to all the grease and batter. Subway can actually be really healthy, depending on what you get. Popeye's is just plain awesome. Another I LOVE is Waffle House. I don't know if they really count as fast food, but their breakfast is second place to home made. For restaurants, they can't be beat. As for would I do it every day if it was healthy, the answer is a solid no. I don't want to eat the same damn thing day in, day out. I like a little variety. Either way though, nothing beats home cooked.

I can't stand Coke anything. It's like drinking raw sewage. It literally makes me sick. As for preferring diet, it wasn't always the case for me. A few years ago, my doctor told me that I was in the pre-diabetes stage. Diabetes is one thing I've been terrified of getting all my life. So when I was told that, I cut out as much sugar as I could. I quit eating candy, quit eating cobbler (which was harder than hell to do), and switched from regular to diet soda. I never liked diet because it always had a weird after taste to me. But now that I've been drinking diet for several years, I actually can't stand the taste of regular cola. It's diet or nothing for me, regardless of what the soda is. Dr Pepper, Mtn Dew, Pepsi, etc. One that I wish I could still get around here is diet Faygo. Faygo is awesome soda, and so much cheaper for so much more.

They have aged well. They show us our beginnings as gamers, and how far we have come since then. The Atari 2600 was a 2 bit system, and had several failures during its lifetime. Most notably the ET game. But while the hardware may be wearing out, and the console looks dated, the games still have a massive community of Atari gamers. I'm one of them myself. But aside from RDR2 and a small handful of others, I'm strictly a classic gamer. Which means I play Atari a lot.

That's all we ask. Offer your knowledge where you can, and learn on the rest. Have fun!🙂

Love it. Love everything about it.

I drink two 2 liter bottles of diet Pepsi every day.

You can check out GameGenie.com. They cover just about every game console from the PS3/Xbox 360 era and back. You can get both Game Genie codes, and just plain old cheats for the games. I assume they would all be active still. But also remember that whatever weapon you get when you defeat a boss can be used to purely decimate another boss.

I have been thinking about this for a while, and the curiosity finally got to me enough that I have to ask. Does anyone have any kind of coincidence that mirrors a game? For example here where I live it's heavily redneck. But that's not the thing. There's the towns of Blackwater, Valentine, and Rhodes very close to where I live. Now, I know Rockstar didn't look at where I live for inspiration for RDR2. But It's an eerie and interesting coincidence. There's St Louis, but no St Denis as far as I know. I find it really weird that one of my all time favorite games would have something so close to real life for me in it. Has anyone else experienced something like this? And I'm not wanting to know about games that are intentionally made to mirror your area. Fictional games are what I'm wanting to hear about. It can have elements of real life, but not entirely real life.

It's been a long time since I've played it, but you could try Zelda: Twilight Princess. I would recommend other Zelda titles, but you said you didn't want anything too cartooney. I would recommend RDR2, but that has pretty much all the things you said you didn't want. Sorry I'm not much help, but since no one else had pointed it out, I decided to mention Zelda.

One of the main reasons I'm getting the 14 is because I need a physically bigger phone due to how big my hands are. The 12 Pro is a nice phone, no doubt. But due to the size of my hands, it's just not practical. And I decided that If I'm going to trade in for a Pro Max, I may as well go for the 14.

We have multiples of several consoles. The reason is due to how many TV's and different rooms we have. For example I have a PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and all my Nintendo's in my home office. @Rain Dew has the same systems in the living room. We also have a couple in our bedroom. So we can game wherever we are in the house. She prefers the living room and I prefer the office. So if he is in the same situation I could see him keeping both of them. After all, We have 2 PS5's, and an Xbox Series S.

I saw this one a while back. One of the best songs ever.

Your confusion is completely understandable. And thank you for not holding your tongue, as many do. What we're looking for is members wanting to add to the forum, not their personal numbers. What many don't realize is that posting numbers don't relate to popularity. Members who have posted for years now have gotten a feel for this place, and know how things work. Thus their posts are for the most part on topic and educating. Sure there are places to post goofy and light hearted fun, and that's always welcome in the correct sub-forum. If you look at the leader boards, you will see many people leading in different categories. But just because they are leading in the category doesn't mean that every post they have made was worth making. So post as much as you want. We don't mean machine gun posting. But post when and where you feel you can add to the discussion. If you have any questions you can always PM me, or @Shagger and @DC if you prefer. Part of our job is helping members when they need it.

Shaggy - It Wasn't Me I'm trying to get it embedded, but it just won't cooperate. I tried reloading the page, but that didn't do anything.

It just doesn't want to work. Here's a screenshot of what it tells me:
