    Atari announces the "Atari 2600+", a re-release of its iconic Atari 2600 with new features

    Way too much for what it is. If you could load and play atari roms on the internal storage then great. There are tons of great homebrew roms for Atari, some are fixed version of the retail game like Pacman for example, and being able to play them on this would be a big selling point. Specs are...

    Editorial 'Wanted: Dead' Impressions

    I enjoyed this game. Rented it on Gamefly and liked it so much i kept it. Played it on hard and man it was hard. It was great to play a unique game that had challenging gameplay, decent story, and likeable characters.

    Hardware Suggestions for removing stripped PSU screws ?

    Use a wide rubber band between the screw and screwdriver to get a grip. Or you can superglue something like a pen to it then let it dry for a couple hours then try turning it.

    Do you still use video game rental services?

    I've used Gamefly off and on for the past maybe 12 years for both renting and buying games. I think i only had 2 games that didnt work and had to send back which isnt bad. I also never had a problem with availability with certain games that i wanted to rent either. And I really didnt want to...

    Do you support marijuana legalization?

    I have my medical card and it's great! Marijuana has some therapeutic benefits and doesn't destroy your body like alcohol or tobacco. It definitely needs to be regulated and taxed like alcohol and tobacco. I live in a super red state and there is a dispensary every 0.25-.5miles. It's just...
