Ok well not much to say at the moment just boredx really...
Over the weekend i saw a bunch of movies on tv. Bandits (for the second time) which i still love. It's got a cool story, the ending is awesome, and Bruce Willis andf Billy Bob Thornton made an awesome team. The whole ten yards, was rather disapointing after seeing the first movie which was a fun flick. The story miandered about without much real direction and the ending was a bit surprising but the lacked the impact that was intended. For a movie that relies on a good ending it came up rasther short. And to be honest the acting sucked even if it was a cheesy comedy. The acting in the first film was much more convincing. And the other one was The Mexican. A decent movie but not really my speed so i'm not getting into it.
I'm dying to get my hands on a NES and also get my Genesis working as well. Really looking forward to getting into Cystallis. Easily one of the best NES games ever. A classic and still a great rpg by any standards.
Hmmm... I was just thinking it would be really cool to have a Comodore 64 again. We had so much fun with those little machines back in the day. You know a lot of people still wonder what happened between the age of Atari and the age of Nintendo. Well the Comodore was it! A computer, and a video game system in one really. It even had a cartridge port on the back, as well as connectors for a floppy drive or believe it or not a hard drive, room for memory expansion, a printer, joy sticks, a mouse, and other periphreals. It's a shame the comodore line died out. I guess the successors to the 64: the 128 and the amiga 500 never found widespread success like the old 64 did. I remember the old 64 was owned by just about everyone i knew. All my cousins had it and most of my friends had it. while this was on the go i knew one person who had an old apple computer, another who had a tandy, and one who had a Vic-20. Sadly though i never knew of anyone who had any of the old atari computers. I think the atari computer i heard of the most of was the old 800. Of course there was the hybrid 5200 which was meant to compete with the early comodores but was bearly even known of at the time.
Well over the next while i'm gonna have a look at some more of my video games and will put comentaries up here over the next while.
Well more to come next time. Later on people.

I still have my Commodore 64C, and the drive, and a shitload of floppys, and the old MPS-1250 dot matrix printer. It's all still in pretty good shape too - far as i can recall it still functions under it's own power too :)
Should break out the Airborne Ranger - now THAT was a game that was WAY ahead of it's time.
Cool. I foregot all about that game... Cool title though.
