#1 Getting old-as a human-not as an in game character.

#2 Never having reasonable plot clues in an RPG etc.

#3 Un-skippable cut scenes

#4 The rest of the world continuously upgrading gaming power needs, leaving working class guys like me in the dust of Retro Tech land. (i.e.-my money ain't good enough anymore unless I upgrade too.)

#5 Other humans :question: think about it and you'll find your own answer is true, too.

NOPE. :cry: Now in my middle age I'm supposed to be running the nation or sumfin' Too bad I don't have one of those jobs that would actually let me run the nation, you know-like owning Microsoft. :lol: So even tho I have a ne'er-do-well job, I work many hours there to pay for living, and can't just sit and play a simple game anymore. Like I could if I owned GameSpot, or if I was a govenor...

Dislikes for GameStop- turning more into a 'used game outlet' kind of business, far too many 'B' class titles they can't get rid of ($9.99 bin) 30 shelves of platform games only 1 shelf of PC games.:evil:

Likes for GameStop- always have copy of favorite 'old' games. they at least HAVE 1 shelf of PC games, the demo consoles are allowed to be played on, and it is not such a bad place to waste an hour snooping around inside.:D

Sales? Nobody really has an actual sale beyond a bargain bin.:(

Something called "The Cuban Missle Crisis" comes to mind. Back in the 1960's when Kennedy was president. North Korea-a communist nation-is sticking it's tongue out at USA. They are 'testing' our new president/government where global military issues are concerned. Supposedly a Democratic government is not as scary to them as a Republican one is-often an issue during election time here. (democratic federal government=whimpy and republican federal government=threatening is often the international thinking toward USA) They never recall that F.D.Roosevelt (democrat)was in charge during the second world war, and that Lincoln (republican)was the president who ended slavery. Now it's up to Barack Obama to respond to a serious global issue as new president. USA will also get to see how the new prez handles 'global ugliness'.

Perhaps North Korea wants to start another war to drain American finances and thin troop concentrations even more. My father was a soldier during the Korean War days. (That is the war that M*A*S*H was about -BTW) Maybe if we had been allowed to 'win' back then this wouldn't even be an issue now.

You know i bet it was a capsule with kim jung il in it. They were actually trying to get rid of him, but didnt want the rest of the world to know, so they played it off as a satellite launch covering up for a ballistics missile test. freham2001

LOL :lol: the communists launch yet another 'ape' into orbit? I'd laugh louder except, I certainly don't want that nasty fellow hanging around my neighborhood!

Let's make sure our generation remembers this moment though- North Korea-despite WORLDWIDE pressure against them(not just the USA) went ahead and launched a military grade rocket over another nation's border.

Let's keep that fact straight whatever happens next.

I think the gecko was killed in last commercial- When that Geico President asked gecko to "Catch me when I fall -to prove you can trust Geico" (*SPLAT*).

I kinda liked the cavemen ones, but they got weird. That Stooooopid wad of bills with Ubi eyeballs STINKS !!

BTW Maybe we need to quit posting about friggin TV commercials in the first place? :roll:

Subliminal messages are being sent to us over the new Digital Signal transmisson ?:shock: yikes..

Oh Durn. And me with just a modem hookup. I'll probably miss out on something again for being Retro Tech.

Time to pull out my wall phone jack......VVVRRRPPPP.... _ _ _ _ _

and the rest was silence.....
