Off Topic / What's Your Favorite "Bad For You" Food?

« on: September 02, 2013, 08:32:45 pm »

Yeah, right there. Beautiful, bad-for-you, medium-rare red meat; preferably grilled but I've even gotten pan-frying them down to an art. I'm totally a carnivore. (That's dinner tonight!)

Fast-food cheeseburgers are my other weakness. Particularly Sonic's Drive-Thru and Carl's Jr.double-cheeseburgers. Whenever I'm in the next town over, I have to go to Sonic's because there isn't one in my town, it's a weakness (and I love strawberry-limeade).

Site Feedback / Member Feedback/Comments

« on: August 11, 2013, 02:40:25 pm »

I love that we can all follow each other on VGCollect, now.

But without the ability to comment on what we see, or post a comment on their profiles; then what's the point?

If say, jcalder8 recently added Morrowind to his collection (which he did), and I see that in the feedback, I can't tell him how awesome that game is and that he'll get hours of enjoyment out of it.

This would also be great in order to make offers on people's sell list.

Would be nice, right?

SDCC: Marvel Unveils Logo for Whedon's "Avengers: Age of Ultron"

Earlier this evening, Marvel Studios and Joss Whedon surprised fans in Hall H at Comic-Con International by unveiling the title -- and villain -- of the final movie in Phase 2 of the Marvel Cinematic Universe: "Avengers: Age of Ultron." Now, the studio follows up with the debut of the logo for what is undoubtedly the most anticipated movie from Marvel to date.

So then my question is, what the hell happened with Thanos being the main villain?

General / What Do You Think Were the Worst Consoles Ever and Why?

« on: June 29, 2013, 03:17:37 pm »

1. Virtual Boy - It's been labeled as a "portable", but let's be serious here, it's not like you can pull out your Virtual Boy in a car or in a crowded waiting room. It's a console. And it's a terrible one, at that. If a console gives you headache after playing, and give you tracers in your vision for several minutes afterwards, it's a failure. Not to mention it's miniscule game library.

2. Phillips CD-i - We had one of these in our science class in school. We often played "edutainment" games that involved science and some mystery you had to solve. But I also got to have a taste of the some of the terrible FMV games, and played one of the cringe-worthy Zelda games on it. So freaking bad. You can tell this console was made by a bunch of guys in suits that just didn't get gaming.

3. Intellivision - It may have had better graphics than than the Atari 2600, but that terrible contraption they called a controller killed any potential it had.

4. Atari 2600 - I know, many gamers are gonna call blasphemy on me since this is the console that really launched the modern-day console industry and many, many genres of games were created on it. But I just find a good majority of it's game library to be too simplistic. And the sound on it is just cringe-worthy bad. Some of the sounds that come out that machine are ungodly. Plus I'm not a big fan of joysticks, especially Atari 2600's stiff-as-a-board joystick.

5. Nintendo 64 - It's not actually a terrible console. It's just my least liked Nintendo console (other than the Virtual Boy). And most of that is due to it's terrible, awkwardly shaped controller with the worst thumbstick ever made. It kills the gameplay on so many otherwise great games. And the console was lacking in 2 of my favorite genres: shoot-em ups and RPGs.

Off Topic / Defiance

« on: June 26, 2013, 01:47:46 pm »

People that aren't watching Definance, are missing a helluva sci-fi show. And despite people wanting to compare it to Firefly, it's really NOTHING alike other than it taking place in the future. And Brent Spiner (Data from Star Trek TNG) does a helluva job as his character Day-Tak (not sure if that's how it's spelled, just trying to get the pronunciation right).

The characters, the tension between the alien races, the layers of subterfuge happening, and the city itself are becoming more fleshed out and building towards something big.

The end of every episode keeps me wanting more.

Site Feedback / Google Search Redirects to Ads, Rather Than To This Site

« on: June 24, 2013, 01:12:46 pm »

I wanted to report this one to you.

I use Google search to access the boards here while I'm at work (can't have frivolous sites on my favorites at work). When you click the VGCollect Forum link, after searching for "VGCollect" in a Google search today it redirects you to various ad sites like Yellow Pages Search and such. However the link to main VGCollect site seems to work fine.

Thought you guys would like to know this.

Just wondering if anyone knew about any music collecting websites or software like RFGeneration of VGCollect for music? Something that's free?

Something that can help keep track of records, tapes, and CDs; and a wishlist, if that's out there.

Thanks for any help.

I'm sure many of you have already seen this teaser image from Sega:



So, what are your speculations on what it could mean?

There's rumblings about it being a possible new Sega console. Do you guys think we may be seeing the resurrection of the Sega of old?

Personally, I think that just sounds too good to be true. So what do you guys think it's about, then?
