A 10 year old seeing porn could have scarred him for life? Doubtful.

What a wimp.

Don't all Steam games require Steam to be running and verify it's legit via the service?

You can play it Offline too.

I've been awake since half two this morning. Fucking kill me now.

Time to die

[Sprung]

12 hours is for amateurs

Oddly on topic...

I woke up at 5:00 this morning, fully clothed, on top of the blankets, and on the wrong side of the bed.
THAT is sleeping.

[Sprung]

That's theft.

Above 500 usually constitutes grand theft.

Don't drop the soap!

Let's put some bitches to the sword, VIP style! YEAH! Stay Alpha, bro.

THAT brings back memories
Were you stoned?

And had anyone done anything to you while you were passed out?

I don't think I was violated

I remember my wife being on my side because she had her phone plugged into my charger, so I just got in on her side to watch TV. It all gets foggy after that...

Well I do think he has funny balls....

Had to swing by an old favorite flea market yesterday, a few towns over. Grabbed these:

Chrono Cross PSX (generic jewel case, no inst.)
Star Ocean PS2 (Apparently 'dics 1' only)
Sewer Shark Sega CD
Prima guide for Ocarina of Time
N64 AC cord
NES/SNES AV cord
Little knob-thing that converts a standard AC to a N64 connection (Havent seen one of these before...its a little black cube..)
Duck Tales NES
Asstd. superhero-type figures, and a few (vintage) Star Wars figures

The games were a whopping $1 each, as was the guide and the cords. (This guy has a huge crate of PSX games, many either floating loose or in the wrong cases, and the crate is labeled "$1 EACH"....you really gotta dig around at this place...I once found Parasite Eve in a case labeled 'Spec Ops'....)

Not one of my best, by any stretch, but a nice little cheap grab...

[Gypsy]

Well I'm feeling better and less bitchy now.

Too good! How did the Saturn thing go?

[GradyWilson]

Feeling better is good. Eh, I passed on the Saturn. "Truth in headlines", as they say...
(The guy brought it over, and w-o-w....this poor thing looked like it spent the past 10 years in SAND....it was beat-to-hell, and two of the cords had duct tape on them. To make matters even 'better', the two games were Tennis and some Baseball thing....UGHHH...he dropped-down to $30 for it all, but I sent him packing...)


I'll be using these most recent items as 'trade bait', as well as potential 'treats', should I feel inclined...


I have 'Saturn/Sega CD want lists' from a few folks here, so whenever I see a Sega disc at a flea, its a squirt of adrenaline, 'cause neither systems' games appear that often in the wild..
(When I saw the 'Sega CD' label on that disc yesterday, I got a little jittery, hoping that maybe it was 'Night Trap', 'Snatcher', or one of those....ah well, cant win 'em all..)

One of my (millions) of 'I wish I had a time machine' moments:

Seeing those '32X Adapter'-things at the Ames Store when it was going out of business a few years back....they had an entire end-cap of them marked at $9.99...... DOH!

Saw three or four DC controllers yesterday, as well, though they felt loose as hell and looked like someone has stuffed the VMU ports with Doritos and shit-stains.....

Aye, although you can just buy and install it online then switch to offline mode if you like

That's my point. What are you supposed to do if the Steam servers get blown up in a fiery explosion and you can't verify them online? The only sites you can't get screwed with are the ones that are DRM free.

If you've already paid for, downloaded and booted up the game once you generally don't need to.

Switch your steam verification to a local IP? Download a steamfree crack? Download one of those offline steam frontends?

It's not like steam is uncrackable or anything.

This, Valve id imagine would patch all the games or the client in a way to allow them to run offline forever. but there are steam emulators out there and such so no big issue really
