Thanks Ack. Just gotta take it one day at a time for awhile.

I've sold and rebuilt my collection of ps1/super Nintendo games probably three times now...gotta prioritize the kids and wife.

This will probably be a really interesting discussion:

Will be interesting to see what, if any, enforcement, guidance, or recommendations come out of it.

Would anyone in a Together Retro Vs? I think it'd be fun to play arcade games trying to get the highest score against everyone else here. And we could do fighting games!

That sucks to hear. At one point I had to sell pretty much every game I had, and it hurt like hell. I had been putting the games together for almost 20 years at that point. But life being the way it is, sometimes you just have to let it go. The good thing is every tomorrow is a chance to do better, and with any hope fortune will smile on you again.

I am curious, but I need some info. Give me the details and I would love to do it.

After much hemming and hawing on my part, I've finally started to put my movie write-ups up on a small blog. I blame Ack for being suitably motivating. I've put the new link down in my sig for anyone who might be interested. There's not much there at the moment, but I did edit and put up 6 write-ups and have another four scheduled so far.

Oh, and if you do happen by and see something that looks wonky, let me know. I'll try to fix it.

Yeah life really hasn't left me any other options at this point. So it's all pretty much going. Just gonna keep my ps4 and my minis.

It looks good too. The same level of quality I expect from a Michi review. I like it!
