Hang Out and Post

It's an old gaming console meant to compete with Atari back in the 80s.

 

Here's AVGN's review of it:

 

Here's the other competitor, Intellivision:

 

WARNING: There's A LOT of swearing.

[-Ryan]

Hm, maybe I got something on ym computer from looking up funny pictures on google...

 

I've played:

Game boy advance, DS, X-box, PS3, Wii, PC, and gamecube.

 

I fail. :P

[Quark]

Oh dude, how about Virtual Boy? Has anyone played that failure of a system?

[CAV of Gang Green]

Fortunately, I didn't play Virtual Boy. I wasn't born yet.

 

I played NES because my mom liked games too. She LOVED Mario and Pac Man. And I played Atari because my dad liked that, and he got the Atari collection thing that you plug the joystick into the TV and then you play old Atari games.

 

The first game I ever played was Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on the Sega Genesis.

[Wembly]

Hmmmm...But it's suddenly storming over here.

Wow, just looked at the radar and there is definitely a huge storm front coming this way. Maybe I'll get lucky and it will miss us here because if I have to shut all the windows again its going to be super hot since its already like 84 in the house with all the windows open.

Storms? I don't like Storms. *hides behind Wembly* :sad01_anim: I hope everything goes well there.

 

I live in India, so no storms for me. :O

[CAV of Gang Green]

Don't you have an air conditioner?

 

I'm ok with the storm coming here to NY. It rained just earlier. I love thunderstorms.

[Wembly]

No, no I do not. Apparently my father thought that it would be a waste of money when he built the house 20 years ago deciding that the beach 'breeze' would keep the house cool enough. False father, false. But in general I like looking at thunderstorms too, I just hate that they mean shutting all the windows.

[CAV of Gang Green]

If the beach air isn't enough, you should tell your father that, and maybe he'll notice it too, and get an air conditioner.

Ooh, video games! I'm a huge Nintendo fan. I own:

 

NES, N64, GameCube, Wii, GameBoy Color, DS. Unfortunately, I never had a SNES.

 

I've also played:

 

Sega Genesis (Aladdin and Sonic FTW!), Dreamcast, PS2, DSi... I think that's it.

 

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the DS. I just read an article on the 3DS and I think I might have to upgrade when it comes out (mostly because they're going to release Paper Mario and that's one of my favorite games EVER). The DSiXL just looks way too big for me. I like my DS to be smaller and more portable.

[Wembly]

I think the DSiXL is still smaller than my original...

[IrishLiz]

Oh I love storms in AZ. It's going to be monsoon season soon. There's something about the way it storms in the desert that is just plain awesome. The smell is really good too. (I think that's partially due to creosote bushes.)

 

Yeah, pretty much everyone has AC here because you're crazy not too. Some people still have swamp coolers though. I'm sure glad we don't (they don't cut it when it's 115 outside).

 

haha, two conversations to comment on!

[:)Doc]

Nice smelling storms? Dont hear that everyday :P

 

What is a sawmp cooler?

 

And just to make it three conversations to comment on, where'd everyone go? x_x

[Quark]

Anyone have any DS games to suggest? I'm looking at some online to buy. So excited, I love getting new electronics! :O Last birthday was my Zune, which was a surprise and a half!

PLUS, my best friend got me a drawing tablet. (Haha, I like to know what I'm getting in advance.) And erm, I'm sure alcohol will be a present from someone even though I don't drink that much, simply because I'll be 21. :king:

[:)Doc]

Mario Kart for DS is pure genius to me!:D You should try it

[Quark]

I'll check it out, although I am AWFUL at MarioKart and most racing games. I like silly, funny or innovative games, mostly. Oh, how I wish Katamari Damacy was on the DS, that would be a pretty awesome idea.

EDIT: Gasp! I just realized that Okamiden comes out in March. Ohhhh, I shall get my new Okami game fix! <3

[Domino]

I definetly love MarioKart for Gamecube. My cousins and I played that today. So intensely epic. And sorry...I guess I managed to avoid evading the question. :D I always liked Animal Crossing. And I'm kind of a GBA Loyalist. :D

[Anisha]

I totally fell on love with Animal Crossing, Rune Factory, The Phantom Hourglass, Ace Attorney, Castlevania ... and what more?

[Noog]

Oh dude, how about Virtual Boy? Has anyone played that failure of a system?

 

Aww, Virtual Boy isn't THAT BAD. XD For it's age, it is nice :P

Is animal crossing really that good? It looks pointless.

[Wembly]

For the DS I love Rune Factory and Harvest Moon as my RPG games, for puzzle games I love Professor Layton and the Curious Village (great puzzles and there's plot thats actually good that goes along with it!) and Pokemon Trozei for a little mindless stacking which can be fun.

 

Also side note: Best Game thats super addicting: Pokemon Pinball. I know, you're probably like eww, what? That game is so old and its a GameBoy Advance game but yeah, its awesome if you ever get that one.

No, it's not. The game is amazing, but requires little patience. :yes:

I remember the days when Harvest Moon was totally my life. I used to play it like nobody's business. :laughingsmiley: Rune Factory 2 was disappointing, if you ask me. There was lot of conversation in it, and I got bored real fast. :(

YES. I live for Pokemon Pinball. And Sapphire. IMO, you can't beat GBA games.

 

And yeah. Animal Crossing is great. But if you stop playing, you get attacked by weeds. And that gets a little annoying. But its so fun. :D

A swamp cooler uses the evaporation of water to cool the air. It makes the air kinda humid, but it's fairly dry here to begin with. I don't like them.

 

I was wondering where everyone went too. I posted, and all of the sudden no one was there. :( :laughingsmiley:

I love Mario games in general. Super Mario 64 for DS is pretty good. So is Mario and Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story, especially if you like some humor in your games. I have a crossword/sudoku/solitaire game that is nice too. Professor Layton's ok. Oh and both Zelda games are great. I also like these games called Trauma Center that are a little crazy - you do surgery and stuff, but it turns into made-up diseases. Oh and I like Harvest Moon. And Castaways - you're stranded on a beach.

 

I have a lot of DS games.

 

I got bored with Animal Crossing after a while (on GameCube though). I also got bored with Rune Factory 2, though I was excited about the game.

:laughingsmiley: I remember the weeds. They over-grow like wow. Though I played the game everyday. It was a good time pass. :yes:

[Spritzie]

The storms here in Colorado smell amazing. Afterwards (or before) there's the smell of rain, which is so fresh. And here, afterwards, there's the smell of the wet pine trees. It does smell really good.
