    That is the most pathetic thing I've ever heard in my life.

        This just too, I don't even know if funny is the right word, but it's something.


        Really though, this isn't something worth putting important plans on hold for though.

        Dammit! I hate when I actually believe these kinds of stories for a second, what i get for not actually reading the article. It's pretty sad though that it's actually not too farfetched.

            So I've got to cancel my Geico insurance and switch over to Nationwide today/tomorrow. More coverage, a lot less expensive (thanks to multi-car discount)... yeah, worth it.

              Geico seemed like the most expensive in my recent quest for auto and renter's insurance.

                The Simpsons arcade game took a lot of money from my (parent's) pockets, it's my favourite arcade game. I also liked NBA Showtime, TMNT and Asterix games, and one Indy race game which was kinda current (had Montoya, 1999 aprox?).

                Most of the arcades places have old games which most are broken or doesn't work well and the coin prices are high, it's a shame. Do they still produce arcade games?

                  Not for your everyday games, but yes, some still get the treatment if that's where they were known for being.

                    I want to find a crazy pinball arcade.

                    I'd KILL to play the original Batman pinball machine again.

                      At least they produce some and luckly those two are being made, they perfectly fit on arcades. I couldn't imagine how you could play games like Fifa on arcades specially with the complexity of those new games, it would be fun though.

                        I was told this morning that I'm not right for a job cause I couldn't see myself doing the same job 5 years from now. It's a freaking entry level IT help desk position! Sorry I want to put my CCNA to better use then that.

                        I've heard this "patience is a virtue" junk all my life. I'm happy to say I have no virtue, no scruples, and no desire to wait too long for anything. In my humble opinion instant gratification takes too long!

                          Baseball Stars will always be my favorite baseball game with Griffey's game coming in a close second.

                            Original Bases Loaded game and the first R.B.I. Baseball that had the actual MLB players in it. Those were my two all time favorite baseball games.

                              Same here. Played this for hours on end after school with my buddies, circa 1987 or there abouts.

                                Baseball Stars and Bases Loaded 2 are my two favorite baseball games of all time. Another one I enjoyed that isn't talking about mush is Roger Clemens Baseball.
