There's a particular episode of Dennis Miller Live where during his monologue, Dennis starts to recount how a middle aged man (I wanna say 50, he mentions the age) had sex with his 14 year old niece, and in the middle of the following sentence a guy in the live studio audience yells SUPER loud "YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!", like really loud and long. Dennis is visibly stunned, and after a moment of silence the audience bursts out in laugher. Then Dennis goes on with the monologue.

Later on, a joke falls flat in the monologue, and in the silence the guy yells "YEAAAAAAAAH!", and again the audience cracks up. Dennis replies something like, "Jesus, how many times can I be saved by the same assho

Elementary age book, sounds like an illustrated book? About a boy who walks in a field, and find a paper bag. Inside the bag is a blue monkey wearing a Hawaiian shirt which can grant 3 wishes. Helps the boy with baseball and teaches a lesson about friendship. Probably from the 90s.

Any ideas?

I saw an Off-Broadway play maybe 15 to 20 years ago, might have been off-off Broadway actually it was a pretty small theatre. I can't remember a lot of details of the plot, but a few key elements.

There was a blonde woman in the lead, and she had been doing the show every night for a LONG TIME, like in the thousands of shows. They had newspaper clippings about how long out she'd been the lead in front of the theatre.

The plot involved the psychologist husband of the blonde driving someone to murder? Or something? I remember the main set had a chimney, and it turns out there's a corpse inside of it from a long time ago. It also used blanks at the very beginning, as a man dressed as a

One of the nice things about the NES is the games are often so simple and limited, that even many of the bad titles are quite playable, and often endearing in a way.

What terrible titles on the NES do you guys enjoy anyways? I think Color Dreams has this for a few, like I recently beat Silent Assault. It's so strange and has some really odd color palettes I was amused the entire time.

There's a lot of reporting that goes back and forth about switches to Mandarin in Guangdong broadcast and premium television. I've heard in 2014 they were switching news broadcasts to all Mandarin, but newer reports seem to deny this or at least deny the extent. However, I've found this kind of reporting is all over the place and often out of date.

So, for anyone who has had access to Guangdong television recently, how much is still being broadcast in Cantonese?

Thanks for any info.

Just wondering - is there no way to tie multiple inputs to the same couple outputs? Manual indicates you can't from my reading, but I was surprised by that as with a 12 in 8 out at least 4 inputs can't have matched outputs even if you had 8 outputs setup. That seems odd to me.

I got it all working and a couple extra button presses each time isn't a big deal, just would like to know if I'm missing something.

Hey, I am going to attempt to play through Dragon Warrior for the first time. I've actually not made a real play attempt at it since watching a friend play it in like 1988 or 1989.

I've played a few JRPGs, but none this old school. Will I be alright just figuring it out and doing grinding as I go? Or is this a kind of game you really want a bit of guidance on during a first playthrough? I just don't want to be miserable like Simon's Quest or games like that, or accidentally get stuck someplace and be unable to level up and have to restart the game.

So, some thoughts anyone?

I have this zipup, it looks like a fleece zipup but is cotton and as thin as a normal long sleeve t shirt. It is a full zip, like a standard hoodie, and also has pockets like a hoodie, but has no hood.

The thing is 15 years old, was bought at what was apparently a Chinese restaraunt in London, and is getting worn out, and I can't find a similar replacement anywhere. It's great for easy layering.

Sizing, ideally men's medium.

Any ideas?

I have the original Binding of Isaac on Steam, and I do like it a bit, but I find the controls floaty and loose which I didn't care for in a challenging game with rogue elements. Is Rebirth still like this? I know it's a newer engine and not flash, so I assume it runs better and could be tighter if that was the intention (I don't know if the floatiness is deliberate or a side effect of being built in Flash), but some confirmation would be helpful.

The reviews I was looking at comparing the two seem to gloss over this entirely, instead focusing on graphical differences, how smooth it runs, new content, etc.

I was just curious what others who still play on original NES hardware think of the newly produced controllers. Anyone?

I think the new ones are pretty good, but the originals (if the rubber isn't worn out, the tricky part) are noticeably better - which surprised me. On the original controllers back plastic feels and looks better, D pad material feels better, and the internal button membranes have a more solid and responsive feel. The new onea aren't bad I was just hoping they'd be closer to identical or actually even better.

It's an $80 game loose, $500-$1000 complete in box. I think that's the biggest disparity between loose and CIB I've ever seen. What's the deal? To my knowledge, it was never a pack-in title or distributed some other way without the box, was it?

Just something I did for myself I thought others might be interested in.

People were talking about the relative costs of different systems on here, not just the overall or average cost but what it takes to have a decent collection of games that you'd actu
