@bimmy-lee I waited for the price to drop, then saw the MD pad going for a good price, so combined with my gold points the two together cost me less than a full price game. And yes the Alpha games ooze so much personality, that 2d phase they went through then was like a golden era of fighting games for me...I'd love a Darkstalkers collection.

Thinking about it, I bought conversions of most of them for a fair packet back in the day, SFII I got for the SNES very early, my mate got a Japanese copy day of release in Hong Kong for me for about £70 when importers were charging way over £100. I used to prefer getting the Japanese versions due to their better packaging and artwork.

@HobbitGamer Your final house upgrade? FINAL??? Mwahahahahahahaha...

@bimmy-lee With adults or teens, I'd be tempted to rip the controller out of their hands and show them how to do it the right way, but for little children, I have a near endless amount of patience. Kids are real and honest, unlike when they start to grow up and learn more about how the world works, and then the lies and ambiguity steps in. And I'm a sucker for candor, which kids usually have in spades...

Good evening. Hope everyone is doing well In the past I had a Nintendo show (NTV) , but Im just thinking to let it come back. It was Dutch but still... don't know if people would like it.

Have a nice day. Voiceactor: The Pirates! (Sony/Aardman 2012) - The Passion: A Brickfilm (Neema 2019) - The Torchlighters: The Story of John Newton (Vision Video 2022)

@bimmy-lee Yeah it is updated. Definitely added some welcome classics. Your kids might like Tetris Attack (here called Panel de Pon). Still a fun 2 player game and easy to understand.

I'm not catching a break this month on my coding. There was a rounding logic error for some telemedicine codes, so I've spent the past few hours reviewing around 900 services to compare the time recording to the CPT billed. There's a significant amount of underbilling. Tomorrow I'll have to build out the solution.

@WiltonRoots It sounds like a hobby - dare I say a passion? - that you enjoy. And you get to travel and meet a lot of new people to boot! Expressing creativity in your own way is something that I think everyone should embrace.

@ThanosReXXX I was on my phone, so I use Chrome by default. On my personal PC, I do use Firefox. I haven't tried browsing that site via the latter yet; I might try that next time I fire up my personal rig.

We all know Tom Nook. secretly owns everything. Even when you pay off all your loans, there's always that thought that he secretly has a paw or two in something else....

@bimmy-lee That would depend on how young you were, I think. XD my two main hobbies commonly involve the items in question being several inches to about a foot from my face on average.

I was doomed to wear glasses anyway; both my parents got them when they were kids, too. I don't need them these days (at least not until I reach my fifties), but only because I cheated. XD

@Tyranexx Chrome? I use Samsung's browser or Firefox mobile. I don't like Chrome. I only use Google for searching the web, but not on their own browser.

@WiltonRoots - Missed the rhetorical nature of your SF question. I also missed that link to the graffiti, but I was planning to go back, find it, and see if you’re on that site. The SF collection is great, but it definitely could have included the Japanese versions of the games. I remember that was pretty much peak cool to have the Japanese version of a fighting game and the means to play it at home. One of my arcades had a Japanese SFII cabinet, and everyone said it played faster and had stage fatalities. A Darkstalkers collection would be killer. I have more cool, old arcade games on my Switch than any other system I’ve ever had.

@ThanosReXXX - Let me share just a little of that honesty with you, and this is just from yesterday. My son asked me what’s wrong with my face and why do I have lines on it, he said that dad’s have big bellies, and when he wished on a star before bed, he said, “I wish for a dad that I love.” I think that last one is somehow a mixed up compliment, but I’m still not positive.

@NotTelevision - I’m excited about almost all of them in this update for various reasons. So many people have told me Tetris Attack is the best version of Tetris, so I can’t wait to try it for the first time, and also introduce my kids! Wild Guns is great, and Rygar was one of my backup games at the rental store. If nothing else, there was always Rygar. Never finished it, but it was the super rare instance where the NES port was more fun than the original arcade version.

@Tyranexx - Ha, with your laser enhancement, we’re kind of opposites. I didn’t get glasses until about five years ago, and didn’t need them all the time until my tree branch to the eye situation last fall. It must have felt good to recover from the surgery and see without glasses for the first time since childhood.

@bimmy-lee Haha, yup, that's classic kid logic for 'ya. Hilarious. Oh, and don't worry: he meant you.

@bimmy-lee I'm confused now, what site? Anyway I just read that the Japanese version of the Street Fighter Collection is apparently better, better sound, filters, AI, wide screen modes...always the way, isn't it?

Strangely, i played more my PS3 games recently during pandemic.
I rarely play my Switch games for several weeks.
Maybe because my attention is on Ratchet & Clank Trilogy PS3 right now.
I played Ratchet & Clank 2, already reached the Final place planet Yeedil. One step closer to finish the game, but the number of enemies inside Megacorp Company was too many. 😫
I need more Bolts to buy stronger weapons and better armor as the price for stronger weapons / armor were insane expensive.

Edit: Oh, i saw Games event on this site.

@ThanosReXXX - Let’s hope. He’s said it before and also wished for a whole family he loves, so I think/hope I understand what he’s getting at.

@WiltonRoots - Thanos posted a bunch of links to graffiti, mural, and street art sites earlier this week, and I’ve meant to look through them to see if some of your work is posted on any of the sites. I’d wager you’re on at least one of the sites.

@ThanosReXXX Ahhh I was supposed to do an interview for Bombing Science a while back, I never got round to doing it, they never sent me any questions. I've bought paint off them in the past when I've visited the states. I also had some stuff on graffiti.org ages ago, that's pretty much the oldest site out there, I think its layout gives that away.

Here's an interview I did a couple of years ago for one site.

And a video that had my work in the background in New Jersey...although it took me a moment to notice. Lol.

@WiltonRoots Unfortunately, I can't access that site. First, I got a pop-up message about how I'm such an atrocity for using ad blockers, and when I clicked that away, I got hit with a "403 Forbidden - you do not have access to this site" message...

EDIT:
Hm, that's weird. I tried again just now, and it loaded just fine this time.
Nice article, and some pretty good photos and artwork as well. There is some Spanglish in there, though...

@ThanosReXXX Oh that's a bummer - I'm using Chrome with Adblock Plus and it loads fine. Ads are getting out of control on the internerds these days, even when watching Youtube on my TV I get ads slap bang in the middle of things I watch. Hate em.
