Honesty and fact-checking are overrated anyway.
I too enjoy Fox News
Where's the Like button on this thing?
I dunno... I prefer Bill O'Reilly's pre-Fox News work, myself.
F*CKING THING SUCKS!ANYway, I was kinda bummed when they decided not to go with my suggestion to call this the All Small Scores episode, or A.S.S. for short. But, seeing as how the CollectorCast is a family-oriented operation, I guess that omission was for the best.
And now, my thoughts and clarifications of my small scores segment:
- 16:50: “I think he’s gonna be mad at us… (for being) selective…” Nothing to get angry about here, since my small-scores segment took up more time than anyone else’s. Even after taking out the rail-shooter and
Resident Evil tangents, a solid twenty minutes was wasted on my wares.
- 17:40: “I didn’t write down anything about calculators… or anything he thinks is cool...” I rarely ever mention my non-vidya finds on the Small Scores thread nowadays, ‘cuz I figure people have gotten bored with it by now. Besides, there’s the Small Toy Scores thread for my Optimus and Nerf finds, and I’ll just PM Nupoile to rub my calculator finds in his face.
- 18:00-18:56: Ah yes, the
Mega Man Rockman X3 back pack. Sadly, even though Crabs said something that foreshadowed its present whereabouts, I don’t recall it being brought up again in the show. For the rest of the story, click the link below:
http://www.rfgeneration.c...13289.msg197112#msg197112- 21:00-22:30: You know what was really spooky about my second Miracle Piano score? I was standing in front of the Goodwill electronics shelf, thinking about the Miracle Piano I’d grabbed right before New Years, when I looked to my right and saw the box. My thrifting powers had become so great, that I’m sometimes able to will certain things into existence. Well, except for a lousy foot pedal. Still keeping a lookout for ya on that, Duke.
But that wasn’t the end of the story: after I yanked the Miracle Piano box off the shelf, I browsed the shop for a little while longer while carrying it around. This resulted in a few people asking me for assistance because they thought I worked there. Actually, that occasionally happens when I’m empty-handed, too…
- 22:32- 23:00: Yeah, the loaves and fishes thing was pretty impressive, but howzabout miracling a foot pedal or two?
- 23:00-23:35: I’m pretty sure my C64 score will take the #1 spot in my post to the pending “Top 5 Small Scores of 2014” thread. It would take a pretty impressive haul to top that one. I managed to get just about all the hardware, including a 64C keyboard along with the standard 64 one. All I really need to complete the setup is one of those printers that take the sprocket-feed fanfold paper. Those were the good ol’ days when you had to carefully separate the pages along the scores after printing your school reports. That’s one simple pleasure today’s youth will likely never experience. A tragic loss to be sure.
- 23:35-25:12: Sadly, almost all the software that came with the lot was either practical applications or educational stuff. Nowhere to be found were the C64 games I played back in the day, such as the
Centipede-wannabe
Gridrunner, O’Riley’s Mine, or
Spy vs. Spy I & II. The ‘rents scrounged a couple complete boxed Avalon Hill datassette games for me second-hand, including the text-based
B1 Nuclear Bomber and
Computer Football Strategy. After typing in your play in
Football Strategy, you’d watch the play unfold in all its slow-paced, lo-res glory. Sadly, I couldn’t tell you how diverse the color palette was, since it was hooked up to a small black-and-white TV.
- 28:05: You forgot about
Kinect Star Wars, Crabs. Han Solo sure can cut a rug…
- 28:15: Nope. I don’t even have a Kinect yet. I wasn’t even all that aware of
Child of Eden until you brought it up. Yet another title to put on my search list…
- 28:40-31:20: I’m not all that big on zombies, myself. Aside from the whole undead, brain-eating thing, zombies are kinda… well, boring to me for the most part. I honestly don’t get their appeal.
- 31:56-33:50: I already had
Tempest 2000 for the Jag when I picked up the Saturn version. I figured I could use a backup copy, just in case. I also recently picked up
Tempest X3 for PlayStation. I guess you could say I’m downright tempestuous…
- 33:32-36:02: That would be TheBoss who got the soundtrack ball rolling in Small Scores. I picked up that
Skyrim soundtrack to try and “keep up with the Joneses” as it were. But there’s absolutely NO keeping up with TheBoss, so don’t even try…
- 36:03-37:24: I found that complete and in excellent condition for a shockingly good price at a Goodwill that isn’t exactly known for reasonable game pricing. In fact, prices have been creeping upward at all the local thrifts, especially the Salvation Army.
- 37:25-37:55: I probably would have bought the PC Miracle piano if I had the space for it (I didn’t), and if all the important components were present (they weren’t). Then there was the really spooky part: I discovered this one on the exact same shelf space in the exact same Goodwill store I found the previous boxed Miracle Piano.
- 37:56-38:58: I recalled hearing some good things about
Crackdown. I figured for $0.95 plus tax that it was worth the risk. Now I just have to remember where I laid it down...
