    One of my all time favorites. Had this game as a kid. Also loved MC Kids. For some reason fast food companies went hard on making games.

    Does reading books made out of paper qualify? Who still does that? Including a book first published in 1348 (not a typo).

    Same. Take a Japanese game and reskin the main character to fit your franchise, why not? We were double dipping back in those days, getting free personal pizzas at Pizza Hut for reading at school while playing a video game with the almost-forgotten Domino's mascot.

    I actually just went to an estate sale this morning with the wife and son and picked up a Super Scope, the Super Scope 6 game, NES U-Force controller, and the NES Power Pad with manual and box all for $20. Beyond a steal, paying off childhood debts of peripherals I just never owned or maybe saw once or twice.

    maybe this is the perfect place for you nerds to unite and help me out!

    Last two years I’ve been using a program for my MacBook called OBS that allows me to record my daughter’s games streaming on ESPN+. It’s been great. I have to record it real time, but it works. ESPN+ has always sent out something that if you simply try to screen record their feed it is just a black screen.

    Well, since last fall things have changed and yesterday I was trying to record my daughter’s game, it didn’t work. Black screen, no matter what we tried. I had my guys in the broadcast truck even trying.

    HELP! PLEASE! FAMS!

    I remember building a lan in the basement of the house with four Intel 286DX computers so we could play Doom. And as new chips and MBs came out, upgrading the computers to play Descent, Quake, Red Alert, Monster Truck Madness, etc. The kids and their friends loved it. But I always made sure the best and fastest computer was mine.

    I was one of the first to overclock the 286 chip from 66mz to 80mz.

    I also rewired a set of Thrustmaster foot pedals so I could strafe with them. Being able to turn/strafe/fire all at once was awesome.

    I was just at the Weird Al concert on Thursday, so I'd say that qualifies. White and Nerdy hit home.

    @SlyPokerDog what thread was that video you shared about what I need to know before watching the new Aliens Earth? Can’t find it.

    Heck yeah. I read books quite a lot. I have a bookshelf with a little bit of everything. I enjoy going to the library.
