  1. You guys are way better than I am. I played a bit of this yesterday to see how I'd stand up. My phone was did so I couldn't take a picture of the board. Not really worth it, I only made it to stage 2. I like the game though, hope to get a score in soon. The is the last month! Updated OP, DB, RSS
  2. Honestly? You're just following the trend. I'm not upset about it, as I'm guilty of it too. My own projects are interfering with my gaming. I've been trying to catch up on Marvel Movies. Up until a few days ago, I still hadn't seen Captain America: Civil War. I want to watch them all in order. I've also not seen any DC movies (liveaction) since the 2nd Batman Begins series, which includes Superman v Batman, Suicide Squad, etc. On the TV side of things, I've got a TON of stuff to watch. Haven't even started Game of Thrones yet, but I've read all the published books. lol. Lately, most of my free time outside of work has been dedicated to completing my latest RetroPie build using the Odroid XU4 inside an NES case. Hardware mods are done, and software is also done for the most part. I'm working on tweaking out the skins and gamelists. Right now, I'm going through my +48k roms adding games to custom collections (3rd time now) for lists like Run&Gun, Beat'm'Up and Shoot'm'Up. I'm up to letter 'D' on my Shmup list. Anyway, don't feel bad about being relaxed on posting updated/new scores. We all have stuff we're doing other than gaming all day. Updated OP, DB, RSS
  3. Yeah I got the email about this yesterday. The design has changed a little from what was originally shown. They added a 2nd button to the joystick, and made the stick rotate for paddle games (not sure how well that will work). They also officially announced that both controllers will be Bluetooth with an optional USB cable (for charging and play-while-charging) and both will have RUMBLE. Controllers now a days pretty much have to have rumble, but my most recent controller I've been playing retro with (8BitDo SF30Pro) is supposed to have it but it doesn't work and I miss it. I REALLY like like LED's around the joystick that light up depending on the direction it's pointed.. that's awesome. Plus they suggested it might be used in games so it adds some extra external indicators for games (I'm thinking stuff like an RPM/MPH/KmPH indicator, or an active radar for shooters, etc). That might be cool. And they've gone over it multiple times in their announcement that EVERYTHING is customizable. So that's cool too, if you like to use A instead of B for jumping, etc, so it's not just configurable in-game, but at the hardware level (probably from some OS-Level on screen setup) I get more excited the more details they announce and the closer we get to release. I don't know if they plan on including a hard drive or not, but it WILL have like 4 USB ports in the back, so you can attach an external. And they haven't really spoken a whole lot about their OS and the user-accessible side to load your OWN OS, but I know that's one of their key promises and what I'm most looking forward to. Keep up the hard work guys, the console is looking good! Also (for the backers) did you see the bit where they said they added a bezel below the console to make it appear to be floating? I like it. It seems like a nice bit of polish and just what the console needed.
  4. You still beat my score. Updated OP, DB, RSS
  5. Man that really blows. I never could stand Carol Burnett so I never watched him on there. I remember him from McHale's Navy. And then as the ever loving sidekick Barnacle Boy. And his counterpart, Mermaid Man, was played by none other than Ernest Borgnine, who was also on McHale's Navy (as McHale). Sadly, he passed away like 5 years ago too. Sad to see people pass away, even more sad when it's a celebrity. They don't know you, and you only know them for their parts they played, but you still feel like you lost a close friend and family member. <3
  6. But nobody can beat Luigimakers!
  7. I only loaded this game up briefly to see what the default DIPs were. Does each stage have a timer? If not, I could see somebody just leeching bonus points off the first few levels. If it does have a timer, I would imagine it being key to learn how the stages play out and play a pattern as quickly as possible and get the most bonus points like in Puzzle Bobble.
  8. Welcome to the game MO! Updated OP, DB, RSS
  9. Thanks for updating the thread GC. I had a really bad headache yesterday and didn't even turn the computer on. Nice score FT!!
  10. WTF?? Why ??? New Star Wars, every other year, with new Avatar every other year between? Avatar is done. End of story. Why make a sequel? Sure there is potential material, but it's going to over saturate the franchise and not make it special anymore. The same is true about Marvel Movies. Yeah, we want to keep the movies coming, but there isn't much more that can top Thanos/Infinity. And a big reveal about Cruella deVille? PASS.
  11. I'll never forget when I was honored to be in the presence of the great John Williams. In school, you have 2 concerts your band/orchestra practices for each year. The Christmas concert and then a Spring concert. In 8th grade for our Spring concert, our band was learning how to play a Jurassic Park suite, which had like 4 of the major themes all in one. The movie had just come out that year, so it was cool to play it. Because I was really good, me and a buddy of mine got selected to participate in an "all-city" orchestra, which was a collection of the best players in all the schools around the city (something like 250 students total). We formed a huge orchestra and were learning to play the same suite, BUT it was much more complicated because it was actually the same sheet music the pros had used in the recording for the final end credits of the movie. That alone was awesome because you always get sheet music that has been extremely "blanded" out and re-arranged for kids. The night of our concert was going as planned. Since it was all city, we had to wait for other bands to finish first. We were 3rd of 4 total, and we were housed inside a huge college basketball arena. Then, when our turn came up, the announcer made a sudden change and said our conductor was to be replaced by none other than John Williams himself! OMFG I almost passed out I was so excited. He was there to watch his niece or something in a different band and saw in the Playbill that our band was playing the original score from the end credits of Jurassic Park. He asked if it would be alright if HE conducted, which of course was very welcome. It was incredible. We played perfectly, and he had the biggest smile on his face when we were done. The audience gave us a standing ovation, it was so loud. After he bowed he stepped aside and clapped for US! Here we were, 8th graders, playing pro music and being directed by the MAN himself. It was unforgettable. I only wish I could have met him in person afterwards, gotten his autograph or something. Then I heard he was on staff as a director for the Boston Pops and I sooo wanted to play in that orchestra, but never got to. Dreams fade, but I had one incredible night! You might think that's nothing, but I mean, it was JOHN WILLIAMS conducting ME!
  12. I think it's awesome we support 97 games. 100 would be incredible. I hate that we have to wait until 2020 to see it, but user participation has dropped into Spongebob's Rock Bottom. Maybe it'll pick up. Here's hoping!
  13. Got you score bud! Thanks for keeping it alive! Updated OP, DB, RSS
  14. Beat me to it. God's speed and rest in peace. You'll forever be missed but never forgotten. RWAR!
  15. Soooo.. I've still not played this game yet lol! I really need to make an effort on my next day off. Kinda upset with myself. Scores are still valid though, keep them coming! Updated OP, DB, RSS Mod Note - Leaderboard links need updated once a new version of our DBM is provided. Floyd Turbo's score is temporarily linked to GimmeClassics's entry.
  16. Once you figure out the funky controls, it's a great game. Updated OP, DB, RSS MOD NOTE - Due to the limits of our DBM, I was unable to remove the link pointing to wolfman24's entry. Since our DBM needs updated to support a different short URL pointer, the link to Floyd Turbo's entry (link) will need to be updated at a future date.
  17. @GimmeClassics He hasn't yet. Strangely, when i just loaded up my DBM, all the entries (which are in the OP) are missing too! Strange. I'll re-add them. Updated OP, DB, RSS
  18. Pssht! 42,500 or 425,000.. long as you had fun playing right? Updated OP, DB, RSS
  19. That's ok. Makes it more fun to have something to shoot for. You could always just delete the .hi file or reset the scores in game (via service menu I'm sure). Personally, I'd keep it. Updated OP, DB, RSS
  20. I don't mind the delay. They were on track and ready to release then decided this new chip would be a huge increase in their specs and would be able to inflate the sponsorship from AMD. As far as I'm concerned, I've already paid and they're going to be giving me a console when it's done. I'd be demanding a refund if I paid and learned the project was cancelled.. but it wasn't. It's just going to be a few more months while they work out the new design. I'm still on board. But if they delay a 2nd time, I might start to get concerned.
  21. I'm actually not that impressed with the CPU specs. It's only a dual core processor. My computer 15 years ago was dual core. My odroid XU4 has 4 cores. I just don't think it'll be very competitive.
  22. Crap I just finished binging this. I guess deep down I truly am a sucker for romance. I just wish I could share mine with somebody. <sigh> oh well. Overall I'd give it a solid 7, maybe an 8. The show progresses to develop the romance and love-triangle that buds, with a constant reminder of Street Fighter II. What's really cool is that they place the story as if it's happening true to the timeline. So as the time progresses, newer games are presented. At home, the main character has a PC Engine/TG16 and we watch as he jumps onto and devotes himself to the Sega Saturn camp, then eventually to the Playstation. The original Famicom and Super Famicom also make appearances, as does the Turbo express and Sega Game Gear. As a final act of love, he builds an RPG using RPG Maker on the SNES. there are some funny moments and some definite tearjerkers. Hopefully the show will continue with more episodes. I know they announced a second season but I don't know if Netflix will pick up an English dub of it.
  23. I'm up to episode 5 now. i'm sort of invested in it now. The games they feature are cool though. Don't really care for all the sappy love mix, but it's good so far.
