Blog Consolidation

So, if you don't already know ... I have like 6 blogs ... all of them are very similar ... I am going to consolidate them all to this blog.
Most of the content from the other blogs will be on here as individual posts that will carry the name that was the standalone blog's name.

Blog (Not-So) Weekly Update [12/2/2014 - 12/9/2014] - #10

So ... I found these in a lot that I purchased a LONG time ago ... I am thinking they're bootlegs or ROM hacks for the Atari 800 computer because a lot of the games that are written on the label, do not exist or are not on any database that is, but most games I have been able to find.

 

 

 

Other than that, my scanner died ... so no more scans for a while ... I'll probably photograph my larger items.

Nothing new.

Blog (Not-So) Weekly Update [11/3/2014 - 11/10/2014] - #9

Wow ... some interesting events have happened  ... I'll start here.

1... I am to be creating a prototype for a console.

2... I am inventing something ... more on that later.

3... Helping someone develop a game.

I've been really busy, so I know it's late, but ... Happy Halloween :3

I got a few Atari 2600 games ... the were cheap so ... meh ... why not.

I do have some bad news though ... My lava lamp broke... it fell of my table ... so ... I need to buy a new one ... :(

Not purchasing anything new until I catch up on this blog in the collection. Other than that, the only update I can say is I've been adding pictures all day until late.

That's it

I'm Trying My Best

I've been working through the night for the past few days trying to post my entire collection ... It's almost 5:30AM and I have just finished for the night ... it's still only a small fraction of what I have. I decided not to buy anything else until I finish this blog.

This winter, I will start construction on my game room, which will be open to the public, by appointment only. It probably wont be available for that to happen until mid-2015.

Happy Gaming!!!

Basically, I've been busy having a life ... I'm recently in a relationship so I haven't been Uploading as much ... I am planning on building an official game room ... I'll post pictures here to show progress when the time comes.

A few weeks ago, I bought a Mortal Kombat II arcade cabinet ... Cosmetically, I give it a 7/10 ... functionality though ... Almost perfect ... I eventually plan to buy Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat 4.

I will also be adding pictures of the Arcade Manuals too.

Basically, other than that ... No other pick-ups

What happened ... hmm ... well ... absolutely nothing except I got a Pleiades Arcade Cabinet and I decided for all those who like to repair things ... I will post all of the schematics I have saved to my computer in the past and those that I have in physical form ... for best viewing though, I suggest opening them in a new tab.

other than that, I got some 31 year old beer called BADGER BEER ... the badger doesn't care.

and I promise I will try my best to keep politics of this blog.

More of HAM's idiocy

So, I went to their page and saw this

I was like "Yeah, totally seems legit" so I used the almighty Google *snicker* I searched "Large Crowd" and got this ...

The similarities of the pictures are astounding ... if this isn't enough to prove their lie ... I dug deeper and found the photographers flickr with the photo Here. So, HAM said it was "HAM 2014" ... but the picture was taken in 2008.

As for location, it is Ann Arbor, Michigan, most likely at the college stadium for a football game.

 

 

All I have to say to HAM is ...

 

 

 

Bye, bye

      The Crazy Opossum

UPDATE

Soooo ... they went to an event that didn't even exist ... Thanks for coming out alright... LOL





Caught HAM in a lie, let's show the world

So, I went on Heterosexual Awareness Month, a Facebook page that is very strongly against homosexuals, same-sex marriage and the like.

After the Hobby Lobby Ruling, which is for religious freedom so that Hobby Lobby has the right to not provide birth control to it's employees, even though the Affordable Care Act (ACA) would require it.

The supreme court ruled in favor of Hobby Lobby, giving them an exception for religious reasons.

BUT ... a day later, The White House received a letter asking to be able to deny service, and discriminate against the LGBT community because it would be "Religious Liberty" to do so, since LGBT rights are against their religion. More Here


Back to the main topic. There is now a boycott going on against Hobby Lobby over the ruling.

I saw this picture about 2 or 3 days after the ruling (About the 4th of July)

 

 

So, Yesterday (7th of July) I noticed that Heterosexual Awareness Month posted a "edited" version. which I had to call them out over, as you can see.

 

 

 

Then, today (8th of July) they commented, trying to say that their image was the original (even though it was posted days after the original) and I had to call them out on that too.

 

 

 

After, I posted I explained to them how you can tell it was photoshopped.

 

 

 

And then, after they called people "Thieving Photoshoppers," they reply to my statement with "what's photoshop." and then banned me so it seems like I gave up and so they seemed more powerful and got the last word in.

 

 

 

 

Let, me make this clear, I don't care what your opinions are, I'll still accept you, but when you manipulate the facts to misinform people, that's when I have a problem.

I am a proud supporter of the LGBT community, sorry to make this about politics and such, but seeing someone lying to a mass of people, and then covering up anyone who points out their lies. If the were civil about it, I would have ignored them.

 

Over and Out ...

       The Crazy Opossum

I will also take screen shots of the games I own and review the games on a 1 - 10 scale.

Also, I have been thinking of bringing Video Game Cheats and Tips  / Game Genie Codes to this blog, keep your eye out on all the pages and you'll see.

Please, feel free to comment and stay awhile, Have great week!

News - ATGames Announces ColecoVision Flashback Console

ATGames is at it again. A few days ago I posted about and Intellivision Flashback. Now they are going a step further and adding another console to their arsenal, the ColecoVision.

There is going to be 60 built-in games and limited edition controller overlays.

If you are from the USA, you can pre-order yours here at a cost of $39.99

Comcast and EA "Video Game Cable"

Comcast and EA are in talks about streaming video games, via cable service using Xfinity X1 cable service.

Comcast is said to stream a selection of EA's games including the "Madden" series and "Plants Vs. Zombies" through a X1 cable box system.

If this deal goes through, EA would get access to around 20 million Comcast customers in the USA.

It is widely known that Nintendo Wii U, Sony PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are trying to take over more aspects of your living room including Netflix, Social Networking and Strong Online gaming support making these game consoles into not only consoles, but full entertainment centers.

This new video game streaming service will start some harsh competition in the home video game market

THE FOLLOWING IS MY OPINION...
If the streaming through cable box happens, and all video games are released this way in the future, it could potentially damage the home gaming market just as home video game destroyed arcades.

Who would want to but a Nintendo Wii U, Xbox One or a Sony PlayStation 4, when you can download the games without leaving the house.

whereas, who would want to go to the arcade, when you can buy them all and play them at home.

Will home gaming consoles feel the same fate that they induced on arcades?
Is this another nail in the coffin for the video game market?

Only the future will tell.

News - ATGames Announces Intellivision Flashback Console

Yes, you heard right, the makers of Atari Flashback 1, 2, 3 & 4, are expanding their sites onto the Mattel Intellivision. The console is said to be in the classic design of the Model 1 of the Intellivision and will have 60 of the Intellivision hits built-in, complete with controller overlays.

Toys-R-Us Online just opened Pre-orders for this console to the North American Market.

You can order yours for $39.99, just click here

The Search for E.T. --- The New Mexico Dig

Over the years, there has been talk about digging the Alamogordo, New Mexico landfill to find the infamous E.T. Atari 2600 game, released in 1982.

In the year 1983, all of the North American video game industry was crashing and Atari had to get rid of the large amount of inventory they had, so, they brought the unsold games to the landfill, crushed them and buried, never to see the light of day again.

That is until April 26, 2014. A dig took place and found many different games (Including E.T.), accessories and even consoles.

This dig is historically significant because it is a reminder of the infamous North American video Game Crash of 1983.
