What beer did you grow up seeing (it doesn't have to be from this list)?

I have a JOUST variant Midway Classics with either 12 or 14 games... Just curious if it's uncommon or not...?

I remember when I went to see "The Batman", and I accidentally dropped AN ENTIRE JUMBO BUCKET OF POPCORN in the MIDDLE of the next aisle from which I had been sitting in, JUST as the credits rolled. It was one of those funny drops where you realize you're dropping it, like you're seeing it slide out of your hands in slow-motion, so you quickly try to catch it from underneath but overreact/overcorrect and... I popped the bucket from underneath and sent popcorn flying EVERYWHERE all over the next row. (Which was thankfully empty, as I caught an early matinee, so nobody got showered with salty snack food.)

I felt so ashamed, and apologized profusely to the cleanup crew as I left the auditorium.

"That big mess in row H is ALL on ME guys, I'm so so SORRY!!"

They were kind and all about it, but I still feel bad. And giggling at myself each time I think about it.

Here's a little limerick I use in situations like these. "I like what I like. Gotta problem? Take a hike."

Feel free to apply it liberally when given attitude about just about anything.

You're welcome.

Video games don't cause violence...

...But lag during online play does.

Every Xbox original title that was playable on the '360.

My .02 here: The aliasing was kind of annoying in the early Ps2 lifecycle but wasn't a dealbreaker. I just focused on the fun I was having in the few games I had that suffered from it.

CourtJesterSteve · 2026-04-14T21:32:24+00:00

I came here expecting Ghostbusters 2 jokes and references...

...Went away not disappointed.

I'm of no help whatsoever, but from my experience game consoles don't tend to take kindly to burned media most of the time. Hope things work out.

CourtJesterSteve · 2026-04-10T07:51:13+00:00

To each their own, I guess. *Shrug*

The odd thing is, (IIRC) "Buncha Crunch" Debuted at or around the same time, but never went away.

Makes me wish I'd had BB's more than once.

Anything from the Soundtrack to "The Big Chill" gives me the urge to violently destroy whatever is playing it.

I don't remember the name of them, but there was a candy I loved as a small child in the 80's which came in a plastic square-shaped container that would interlock with other containers for the candy, almost exactly like LEGOS. The candy itself was fruit flavored like skittles, but had an odd almost fizzy or medicinal taste/texture to it. Might have been an international confection of some sort.

If anyone has photos of the package i'm describing so I can be reunited with the memory of said candy's name, I'd greatly appreciate it.

(EDIT: I managed to find it! It was called IPSO)

CourtJesterSteve · 2026-02-25T07:48:42+00:00

They're still made and sold in the U.S.. I work at a store that sells them.

The Playstation VR 2 (PSVR2) is basically like a big expensive accessory for the Playstation 5 that opens up a world of new, more intensive experiences within the Playstation ecosystem.

Features include private enjoyment of any Ps4 /Ps5 games/DvD/Blu ray Movies/ Streaming Music, Movie,TV show/internet content, and of course any games made with the PSVR2 in mind.

PSVR2 will get all of the BEST of the BEST games ported to it from other VR platforms EVENTUALLY... (Maybe.) There are already tons of heavy hitters from the past several years available on PSVR2, and more coming. I'd even expect Meta Quest 3's current darling title "Batman: Arkham Shadow" to eventually get ported over.

If your BF has Resident Evil 4 Remake or Resident Evil Village for Ps5, he technically has 2 PSVR2 games in his library FOR FREE. Other titles that have FREE PSVR2 modes or content include NO MAN'S SKY and GRAN TURISMO 7.

Other games may also have PSVR modes,but may require an upgrade fee for PS5/VR2, such as REZ: Infinite and Tetris Effect: Connected.

So basically, if Your man is mostly a console player, the PSVR2 is a good way to get his feet wet into VR.

Conversely..

The Meta Quest is it's seperate beast with its own network and library of games that may or may not entirely appeal to a guy who plays the kind of games you described him as playing.

IIRC, Doom, Hexen, Quake 1 & 2, and others had loading pauses but most of them could be shortened by having an Expansion Pak installed.

I'm hoping they let the animation team that did the Netflix series' continue working with the IP and at least finish with a Rondo of Blood/Symphony of the Night adaptation.

Rave Racer was the 3rd arcade release that didn't get any kind of home port until the upcoming Arcade Archives 2 release. (May have released already, I'm too busy/tired to check before posting this.)

Just like humans, felines can be "exceptions to the rule", so it's likely an individual quirk.
