They used the wood paneling for most of the 2600 models. There's an all black one though, called "the darth vader".
Mark told me I actually didn't have the "light sixer" back in '79 but the Sears VCS model.
It has the wood paneling but it's silver around the switches and says Tele-Games on it.
Yea, I was really beginning to beat my head against a wall playing B2 for achievements. I would end a play session literally exhausted from all the frustration. I had to stop myself.
Ha ha! Awesome. Owls was on my mind because I was reading The Books of Magic comic by Neil Gaimon. It seems it must've been an influence on Harry Potter because both main character's are nearly identical and have owl pets. Also, I didn't know Merlin had an owl as a pet. My friend told me that and I was surprised. Things you learn.
I'm usually at 50% of the achievements after my first playthrough just focusing on the story. After that I look at the list to find more things to do, if the game is great.
I played Pre-Sequel when it came out on Xbox 360. I liked it a lot. I thought it had some interesting improvements and was even funnier than B2. I didn't think about the Australian accents but then it was developed by 2K Australia and every character in the game is done up in a silly over-the-top way. It made me think of Monty Python, but maybe that was the English in the Australian accent.
All the dialog is hilarious even from random enemies. There's these holiday special DLC missions I forgot to play in B2. Mark was playing them and one has a character ramble on for 20 minutes. Listen to it all for a reward.
I missed Darkwing Duck when it came out in '94, just like I missed Batman The Animated series, but I remember seeing some adverts in some comics I was reading later and really liked the art style. The comics are just ok so far. I still have a few more to read. My friend Mark was a huge Animaniacs fan and still sings the song, like he did just the other day.
I like seasons but I haven't liked snow in recent years because it's been coming in these huge storms and then vanishing in a week.
XBO has a special chime for the rarer achievements now. The rarest achievement in Borderlands 2 was the one for getting level 1 on every challenge. .73% of gamers got it. There are so many challenges in the game. I went for it the first time I played the game on X360 and gave up after a while because you have to literally use every type of weapon and do every type of weird thing possible a certain number of times to get at least level 1.
Ha ha. The "desert is grating on me". I guess the desert could be pretty dull after a while. But we were supposed to get like 2 ft of snow, but it turned out to be like 4 inches of sleet. Good for me because I could get to Mark's for an all day gaming session. Thank you weather.
Wow! Cool! DuckTales 1 and 2, Darkwing Duck, TaleSpin, Chip 'n' Dale Rescue Rangers 1 and 2 coming to windows, PS4 and XBO April 18. Oh, this'll go up on my rental list for sure, especially since I'm reading Darkwing Duck comics right now.
