Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

“BY THE PIT! THIS IS INTOLERABLE!!!” Rattrap, the shoulder pads of his robot mode having ripped through the shoulder pads of his very 1970s looking checked blazer, was already seated behind the wide news desk, with the background monitor to his right. “Just siddown, Choppaface. Faster we get done wi...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

Yes, the lion face is…. Unsettling. Those golden orbs just look dead. Honestly, I’m wondering why they just didn’t copy the MP LioConvoy’s lion face. Yeah, it’s cartoony, but it won’t inspire nightmares.

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

Dinobot stared at the spray bottle in Rattrap's hand. "Do I even want to know?" "Well, I heard that we're gettin' a cat, an' I wanna make sure th' cat knows that th' Stainless Steel Rat is lots betta'n some mangy furball." As Rattrap was speaking, a white lion with a golden mane ...

Re: [The video game thread]

Been paying more attention to my Switch lately. Sherlock Holmes: Crimes and Punishments and Sherlock Holmes: The Devil's Daughter for the Switch. I'd already played Devil's Daughter on the PS5 and really enjoyed it. I didn't know they'd ported the games to the Switch. I know the company that made th...

"Oo-HOOH! Yeah! Lookit me! Still gorgeous!" Dinobot slapped at the wheel behind Rattrap's right shoulder, causing it to spin. "And once again, I do not see much improvement." Rattrap transformed to beast mode. "Speak fer yerself, Choppaface. This is what a should always look...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

Rattrap and Dinobot stood in one of the many corridors of the Ark, looking up at a sign on the wall. "Meetin' a th' Tough Ol' Guys?" Rattrap shrugged. "That don't exactly clear it up. Most'a these guys are like gigacycles older'n us." "Nnn. Perhaps it is simply one of their....

Rattrap and Dinobot stared at the boxy, white vehicle. It didn't have much in the way of decoration other than the two cannons on it's sides. "What's th' guide thing say it is again?" Dinobot glowered at the tablet. "According to the guide it is an ambulance. Built on the Nissan Onebo...

Re: [The video game thread]

Bit late to the party on this one, but….. NEO GEO Mini Classic Arcade International Edition: I tried to get one off of Amazon, but fortunately since whoever was supposed to send it never did, I got a refund and found a cheaper, if slightly used, one on eBay. I will admit, the main reason I got it wa...

Even seated, the figure seemed to loom. Looming over the guards flanking his throne, looming over the dais the throne was mounted on. And more importantly, looming over the battered, kneeling forms of Optimus Prime and Grimlock, the latter being held down by more guards. "Relics. That was you t...

Rattrap and Dinobot stood there, looking up. "So.... whaddayou say you are again?" "Why should I tell you?" The voice was harsh sounding, but familiar. Dinobot cocked an eyebrow as he stared at the silver/chrome emblems on the shoulders of the being before them. "Because des...

Re: POST YOUR NEWEST ACQUISITIONS!

There were times, as Dinobot had long since concluded, that he really, really, REALLY didn't understand the ancestors of the Maximals. Case in point: Jazz and Bumblebee breakdancing. Jazz with style, grace, and fluidity. Bumblebee.... not so much. Rattrap wandered up to the small clutch of assorted ...

Re: Odd Computer Question

Well, after Dell got my hopes up with driver updates only to dash them, I tried looking on line again to see if anybody was having this problem. And lo and behold, I found an article that said a lot of people were having this problem, and Microsoft is working on a fix. In the short term, the recomme...

Re: Odd Computer Question

2 and 4 seem to be the best options. Although there's also 7.

7. Go build a small altar to the computer gods, find a small, fur-bearing animal, and sacrifice it to their bloodthirsty wonts and hope they listen.

Nobody actually lets me ever do #7, though......

Odd Computer Question

Okay, I'm hoping somebody out there has an idea about this, because I've never run into anything like it before. When I got into work yesterday morning, I did the usual thing: Woke the computer up, fired up web browser, email, and accounts software, and then did the other thing I do every morning. I...

Re: [The video game thread]

Things moved fast in my game collecting all of a sudden. Stuff I ordered what feels like years ago(it was only March) finally showed up, and I got extras on something I won on eBay. EBay first, since they showed up first. SD Lupin the Third for the Game Boy. The game is fairly simple, but besides Lu...

"How come we gotta do this?" Rattrap, in rat mode, slouched in the oversized chair, whiskers drooping with put-upon annoyance. "Because, Vermin, we have no.... how does the Terran saying go... 'skin in the game'." Dinobot stood on his chair, watching the door before them. "Y...

Re: Remembering that our old toys actually exist!

Like many people, I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the energon conductors that came with the Buzzworthy Origin Bumblebee. ‘Bee can’t hold them. Wheeljack can’t hold them. Only thing I can do with them is toss them in a box and forget about them. And while completely forgetting about th...
