For all its faults I really like this game. Old Republic is actually a pretty decent MMO but playing it made me long for a new KotOR release.

Had to share some turtles goodness :)

Anyone remember how amazing this was? I distinctly remember it. it was like chex with marshmallows, hasnt been anything like it since. And I just want to say thats one of the coolest cereal boxes ever made.

http://www.thesewerden.com/2011/05/issue-11-eat-up-dude-part-1.html

Ironically a couple of the things listed on that page are still in my cabinets right now, I still have one of the TMNT cereal bowls and the white cup (which I still use from time to time for nostalgia's sake), and also the lap tray thing I had as well. There really wasnt much the turtles didnt get put on, I remember seeing them on frozen chicken pot pie boxes back then even. I wouldnt mind having another bowl of that cereal, I know that.
The "No tropical oils" on the box got me curious, that's something we didn't have here in the UK so I looked it up and found this.

"Tropical oils" refers to oils made from palm, palm kernel and coconut oils. In the 1980s, the American soybean industry was worried that foreign tropical oils would replace their oils as the number one fat, and take money from the American farmer.

A public relations firm working for the American soybean industry devised a campaign that would help to convince consumers that tropical oils were unhealthful. Foods made with soybean oil were labelled "contains no tropical oils." Later the U.S. Federal Trade Commission made that label illegal because there was an implied health claim that tropical oils are harmful and there is no evidence to back it up. the total amount of tropical oils in the U.S. diet was about two percent, so anything that caused consumers to avoid them would have a negligible effect on cholesterol. The whole issue was a trade war and not about health effects.

Tropical oils are used in foods for functional reasons. They are excellent for shortening because they don't get rancid easily, they produce flaky pastry and good color on fried foods, and they don't give a greasy feel to crackers. It is difficult to substitute most other vegetable oils for the tropical ones because their polyunsaturated fats have a short shelf life. To prolong the shelf life, manufacturers convert soybean oil in your food to partially hydrogenated oils which are known to be harmful to your health (increasing risk for a heart attacks and certain cancers).

The countries with the highest palm oil intakes in the world are Costa Rica and Malaysia. Their heart disease rates and serum cholesterol levels are much lower than in western nations. This never was a real health issue.

Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

No bad, bad boys. Dualshock doesn't have true diagonals. Because its disconnected it can't give an accurate reading. Play a fighting game and go into input mode, if you hold it up-left the input flickers between up, up-left and left.
See I do agree with you on a personal level but there's an amazing French Street Fighter player called Luffy who does very well using an original Playstation pad.

Re: Gaming thoughts of the day

This might not be that useful because it's not really retro, but I think this is the best example of how big chain stores have utter contempt for their customers and don't actually 'care' about gaming or whatever.

When GAME were having their financial trouble and it looked like they were going to close completely, EA (among others) prohibited them from selling certain products of theirs, one of which being Mass Effect 3. I was so shocked when I saw what they did next, I actually took a photo -

https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash3/523001_10150697993673390_1548114080_n.jpg

So their solution to not being able to sell Mass Effect 3 was to put it's 2 year old prequel in the #1 chart slot, with a sticker conveniently covering the title number. Wonder how many mum's, etc got duped into buying the wrong game, just disgraceful really.

Re: Gaming Merchandise & Collections

^Oh, wow.
Right on!
Very well done sir.
These are the kind of photo's I cream over
Thanks! 8) I would have aimed for a better picture if I knew so many people here would comment.

You inspired me heavily. I worked up a real sweat moving everything over. Thanks Chris!

Sorry I know this comes across as showing off. No more I promise. I just finished up the whole room
SO kinda proud :oops:

Looks really good, nice and tidy. I like looking at game rooms/collections, I lurk the DP and Retro Gamer forums and have seen dozens of tours on YouTube; I find it really interesting to see how different people like to store/display their stuff.

I actually wish more people here would post some snaps, I've seen some really impressive stuff added to this topic over the years and I'm pretty nosey. :P

Im so jealous of the Jewel dreamcast cases yall got over there (top left of pic) wish we got those in the U.S.
^ I don't. Those things are as bad as US Saturn Cases. breath wrong and they shatter and they are not standard so replacing them is a hassle
I agree with you both, they do have a unique charm to them (not to mention the nostalgia value) but on the other hand they are quite fragile and are a pain in the arse to replace.

lol, "Lylat Wars". You guys get so hosed on so much stuff. :lol:
Back then yeah, although this didn't really effect me as I wasn't into Star Fox. I would have been more annoyed by say... having to import Shenmue II for the DC.
