So the trailer for the next GTA is coming and I'm not super excited, I'll still watch it though.

As far as I know GTA 6 is not as highly anticipated as the next Elder Scrolls. I refuse to play online version because it slowed down release of regular series.

Edit: only Imperial I like in Skyrim is Severio Pelagius because he is neutral and is only concerned about all hell breaking loose in Tamriel being bad for his crops in his lines, I'd be a farmer in Whiterun too to feed the Nord armies fighting the Empire and would be a covert assassin in the Dark Brotherhood guild that targets Imperial soldiers I encounter on Skyrim roads killing last witness to get away with it. The Empire fell in the next chapter according to what I've been reading, serves them right for thinking Nords were and can ever be conquered.

@Grouch

If you play Skyrim and are looking for fun role playing immersion you should try a Nord that joins the Stormcloaks and is a member of the Dark Brotherhood assassin guild. Play with a seething homicidal fury hatred for Imperial soldiers and neutral to Imperial civilians. Travel along roads and camp where you encounter them with camping DLC and mods, they will respawn there again. Kill them for their gear to equip or sell, you'll also be tasked to kill them as a Stormcloak on missions. Be lore friendly that way because Stormcloaks won the war in next chapter, be the reason why. Use sneaky archery to waylay Imperial soldiers and melee if they get close, assassinate them in their camps.

I'd like to thank Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz for making Star Trek possible, which made Spock possible, which made a sprite avatar of a one finger Vulcan salute possible.

Well the 7800 ProSystem (boxed - NTSC) I ordered arrived in the middle of last week, just did some testing of the controllers and Concerto cart that came with it.
All works well
Played some Alien Brigade and Dark Chambers.

Still has stock rf output, original psu has been swapped for local mains aftermarket psu (still has original type 7800 plug though).

Only bad points are:
Serial on console doesn't match box (box is really nice for age).
Doesn't include Pole Position II cart (the box is "free game" version). Might see if I can grab one sometime, but need to source US cart which will be a problem... US 7800 carts are rare over here and shipping is stupid for a cheap cart like this

how did those two make it possible?

[Grouch]

welp just about at the point that I couldn't get through the last time I played HL 2 EP 2

Gene Rodenberry was rejected by studios when proposing his idea for a show and DesiLu funded it because Lucy and Desi believed it would inspire social and technological advancement for a better future.

Edit:// the one finger salute is Spock's human side(he is half-Vulcan), when reason is not enough logic is for the Vulcans; enemies attacking you and making insidious demands get the human salute from Starfleet.

If I were human I believe my response would be 'go to hell', if I were human.

[deadlegion]

All the stuff made around then by Desilu was kept on film grade stock, so it has all survived time very well compared to other tv shows.
Lucille Ball owned the company herself when Star Trek was filmed.

[deadlegion]

Desi had already sold his holdings before Star Trek, they were divorced before that happened anyway.

Agreed and without Desi the business would not have been founded. He liked the show and his fame contributed to its success under the Desilu brand.

Almost done with Magic Users Club TV. It's a shame they didn't do another OVA series instead.

What stopped you?

can't remember exactly but I think I was having trouble getting some of the striders before they reached the base.

[Grouch]

Shipping is just turrible now. Guessing even just a single cart would be $30 US if not more which yeah, brutal.
