If you want a little history lesson on the 2600, get a copy of the book Racing the Beam. Damn thing didn't have a frame buffer. If you are a you might be able to find a pdf somewhere.

My first taste of the TurboGrafx 16 was via the PC Engine my buddy had brought with him from HK when he moved to NA.

It was godly. And then, that godliness was replaced when I tasted the NeoGeo for the first time...I still remember trying out that insane machine and having to be nearly pulled away kicking and screaming by my parents...

I need something that makes hooking up the old consoles easier though. Spoiled with HDMI.

Don't play much anymore and let my Live account expire earlier this year. I loved playing CoD online, but we got a new router and the XBox wouldn't connect to Live.
I now usually play for an hour or two after I put my son to bed. Typically it's stuff like Tiger Woods Golf or NCAA Football, but it's getting a little boring.
Started over on Skyrim and think I'll play that one through this time, then will try to continue Assassins Creed III. I may pick up GTA V later in the year when I get bored with these two.

Back on Metal Gear Rising Revengeance with the DLC to play as some of the enemies which is awesome! Will do Walking Dead 400 Days as soon as I pay for it in my cart and of course play guitar on Rocksmith 2014. Also DMC is free this week so I might start that soon but I'm dreading the difficulty.

I think for you Yummy, PS+ is worth you getting with you having a PS4. With the updating storage system and not being able to back up your files on the ps4 with a USB drive. try the 3 month plan first. if you don't like it then you don't have to get the yearly plan.

Alright. Look into it when I have more games. Probably after I get MGS5.

And it works with your Vita and PS3. Vita was getting good games to for free also. You should've hopped on the Black Friday deal when it was like $30 for the year. Maybe they'll do another special in the spring when the new games come out.

Cool. I'll definitely look into it as I'll need a backup method after the near nightmare with the YLoD on the PS3.

I was going to build a rig from scratch. Was looking at mostly Corsair and Asus parts. Turns out, my buddy was selling his tower with the exact same components I was looking for - a GTX 680 and an i5 4670k.

Asus Z87-something mobo
Corsair Dominator 8GB
Corsair RM750
Samsung 830 SSD (120GB)

Only thing is it doesn't have water cooling, but the thing is fairly quiet as is. My goal was to run essentially any game at 1080p and ultra, and it'll do it.

I was expecting to spend $1,200 or more building it myself. I got a homie hookup - $900 cash, threw in an acoustic guitar I wasn't using and I don't have to put anything together


I can't wait for the Diablo 3 expansion.
