The Blackangel

Ave When you say older, what are you referring to? I'm a classic gamer myself (N64 & back) so I would love to have someone to talk about the classics with!

@Rain Dew and I went to a dinosaur event Friday. It was a total letdown. There was almost nothing there, and what was there was entirely child oriented. I'm talking under 10. So for adults to drive several hours to an event that had virtually nothing, it was entirely a waste of money. But the concession stand is where they really rip you off. A can of soda was $3. But that's not the worst of it. A damn hotdog cost $8. EIGHT DAMN DOLLARS. If @Rain Dew had wanted one I wouldn't have let her eat it. We would have had the damn thing bronzed instead. I bought a soda that I thought would get me a fountain drink. How wrong I was.

Yeah, dino nuggets would count. I love chicken nuggets too, but I don't care what shape they are. I gobble them up. I used to love goldfish crackers, but these days I've grown to like Cheez-It's better.

Cocaine Bear 4/10 It had its moments, but overall wasn't much more than a creature feature, despite it being based on the real events of a true story.

My jaw hit the ground when I saw the pics of his collection. To hell with Gangsta's Paradise, that's a gamers paradise. I knew there were millions of videogames that have come out over the years, but until you've actually seen it, that's just a meaningless number. 🤯

I really hate my damn fingers. That was supposed to say I USE one of them as an email they can connect to.

That is something people wouldn't believe about me. Aside from growing up on 80's rock, I was forced to listen to country music all the time as well. It's what my parents listened to. A weird thing about me is that I absolutely despise bubblegum pop music, but I like KPOP. I'm weird.

One that I haven't seen mentioned yet is GTA. There are gamers that snatch up whatever new one it is that comes out and play the hell out of it. I'm sure there are gamers out there that refuse to play anything else. I know there are gamers like that with certain franchises of games. I grew up on Nintendo and still love it. But I still play several other systems. After PS1 launched, I got into PlayStation, mostly due to Castlevania SOTN and FF8. Since then I've been gaming on more than Nintendo. I love my PS5, and despite initially hating it, enjoy the hell out of my Xbox One. I'm still a Nintendo chick, but I also play many other systems.

I honestly never cared, but the vast majority of the games I ever owned were in jewel cases. I think I have owned one game that was in the long box. But I don't think I have it anymore. I do have a PS2 game in a long box, but don't remember what it is.

I never played Super Punch Out, but I played the hell out of SMW and B&B. But I have to say that Beavis & Butthead was a lot better and more fun on the Sega Genesis.

Was free speech a thing? I can't seem to recall. Also how long is it going to be before the government tries to charge @DC for running VGR and in turn being forced to charge to use the site? He would never go for it, and probably tell the government to piss off, but I can unfortunately see them trying. Despite it being a video game site, they would probably lose their shit if any games they didn't approve of were mentioned. No more GTA. No more RDR2. No more COD. We would be limited to sports and bible games. If that.

No shit.

My grandfather received 5 bronze stars and some other kind of medal from the army. He was a medic in WW2, and was part of a unit that liberated Auschwitz. Aside from him, I don't know anyone else that received any kind of medals or special honors.

I know, but I still think it's funny.

A lifetime ago. I don't even remember being 32. With the exception of a couple major events, I don't remember anything from my 20's or my 30's.

Just remember that with the Model T, you could have any color you wanted as long as you chose black.

The conure I have had since she was a baby. We got her from a breeder in Springfield Illinois. Before we had even walked out the door, she had bonded with me. I didn't pick her, she picked me. She's a really loving bird as long as you're not trying to play video games. Also, I'm the only one she likes. She attacks everyone else. She tolerates @Rain Dew because she knows she has no choice. She loves to groom me. Or at least she thinks she is. She picks at freckles and my tattoos. She knows the tattoos aren't natural, and she probably thinks the freckles are dirt or something. So when I have her out, she's always picking at them trying to get them off me. It's cute as hell. Here's one of the best pics I have of her.

Too true. It's why a record number of people are leaving Florida for other states.

I played RDR2 for a couple hours last night. I didn't do anything extravagant. I just hunted and killed O'Dricscolls when I found them.

My choice would probably have to go to RDR2. It delves into things like racism, crime, loyalty, honor, and the struggle one faces outside the law. It may be the wild west era, but the same things are happening today that happen in the game. It's just the technology (including the weaponry) that's more advanced.

I would go back to the 80's. It was a simpler time when technology didn't rule our entire lives. The internet hadn't been invented yet, the music attained perfection in 1986. Scientific fact. And the world was a lot more laid back. No Karen epidemic for example. It was simpler, and just a better time all around. I miss it.

It varies for my pets. Loud noises scare the shit out of a pitbull, so I tend to keep the volume low. My conure on the other hand, absolutely hates video games. If she's out and you pick up a video game controller, even if it's just to find something on Netflix or Hulu, she will viciously attack your fingers. And I mean viciously. You will bleed. If you want to play a game when she's out, you have to hide your hands under a blanket or something. This is literally what she does. I don't know why.

A nuclear explosion.
