I second that, indeed they are.

I'm a Chinese immigrant (to Canada) and I got a different kind of racist treatment from, er, the "majority".

But the theory is that, the best way to beat a racist is to be better than him/her - both in character & wealth. No matter what kind of unfair (in my POV) treatment the majority/society-at-large throw at me, the best way forward is make myself useful, bear the hardship to make my 2nd generation better off then I, have them pass on the same ideal to the next generation. Down the road, parity can be achieved, and my kids & grand-kids will be even better off then those racists.

My dad always said he hadn't much schooling (been at school for a total of 3 years), but through sheer determination he was very successful.
Rather than spoiling us he made sure he got us into good schools and we return the favor with good grades and focus.

What I'm saying is, those racists don't bother me, I'd rather do some good with my time than arguing with those ne'er-do-wells. This I think is rather typical thinking for most Asians immigrants.

It's like a dooj, but with a little extra je ne sais quoi.

Geil, ne?

This was way, way more entertaining than I expected it to be.

You can kind of reverse engineer how the game is deriving the answers from player input. Kinda makes me want to muck with it myself, but not really.

BTW, this is SNES, not NES.

So many references in here. I usually hate that kind of pandering, but still needed to point out:
David statue on coffee table (reference to Goonies?)
NES and Intellivision (c'mon, no one kept the latter around after '84).
R2D2 on coffee table
Stupid, obvious pro-wrestler action figure is stupid (ooooh yeah!)
TMNT comic is possibly anachronistic

This video is so pandering and silly, but the song is damn complex. Childs first feelings of love and sexuality combined with the witnessing of violence and murder. Now that I type that, it probably defines far more modern experiences than I realize.

OmG.. Reminds me of the Nintendo allnighters at a friend's apartment in the old days. PIzza and poutine. Old NES plugged into the CRT TV.

I was surprised at how many people other than myself were interested in this one. I thought I'd get two votes tops.

The comment above this one explains our interest, this is the chip that powered the computers (Pet, vic-20/vc-20, c64, Apple II) and game consoles (Atari 2600, NES) of our childhood.

The OTHER chip that would have attracted some interest is the Zilog Z-80, which was the 80s equivalent of the arduino (but also, earlier, used in computers like the TRS-80 and gameboy and...). The minimum required to use that chip for a project was a 9v battery and an eeprom, and at one point they cost about a dollar, so they were used for everything.

It worked for me, random glitch perhaps? The list of regions allowed is fairly extensive, so it's probably not blocked (are there any missing? Canada and the US are both included):

I played loooooots of Ocean games. C64, Amiga and NES. Lots of good times. I appreciate videos like these, for companies I liked that are no longer around.

The years after the crash but before the appearance of Nintendo were Golden Years for my brother and me. We were picking up cartridges for our Intellivision for a dollar a piece (or less) at retail stores and sometimes for free at local garage sales. I know our game library was over 50 games at one point, which as kids we never would have been able to afford if not for the crash.

We also switched to PC gaming. My dad received one of the very first laptops (with an LCD screen) from his job and I managed to get Bard's Tale up and running on it. Some of my friends went the Commodore 64 route.

So after the crash, we never stopped gaming, really, and just transitioned to the NES when it came out. But of course games became more expensive then. We gave up on owning anything but the most popular games (Mario, Zelda, etc.) and instead would swap games with classmates to try out other stuff. Mom and pop used games stores also popped up around that time and usually we could trade in an old game for a new one with an out-of-pocket expense at around $5, which was around my weekly allowance at the time and let me get a new game once a week.
