I'm a new Turbografx collector. Welcome Me !

The badges are pretty ridiculous, and do look like shit. NintendoAge cannot be taken seriously based on the bathtub full of miller lite in their room at MGC last year. It was like one of those high-school parties that you didn't go to because you knew that everyone was square, had shit taste in music, and had the personality of drying plaster.

Some of them were nice, but wading through a roomful of teenage adults to find the one person who likes Metroid or Kid Icarus or Zelda on FDS or actually PLAYS their famicom games and doesn't want to show me how they have Pokemon on a flip-screen thing with a stylus. ...All the mario-wankery was just too much for me.

...much like the year 2016 and the movie Idiocracy, sometimes it's hard to tell stupid fantasy from stupid reality.

The producer was interviewed a few weeks ago and said that his movie is now a documentary.

All of this Gen X on Millennial violence. When will it all end? Hopefully never because I hate the f*cks. I grew up when games were 50-60 bucks and allowance was 5 bucks a week, if you were lucky, and Mongoose was a bike you DIDN'T buy from Wal-Mart.

Whipper snappers. Showing off all of your games and badges. Know how I won a badge in 1984? By winning the All-Valley Karate Tournament fighting the Cobra Kai. Put that in your pipe and...wait..vape on that.

Badges and patches and shit ain't new:

But they've always been kind of stupid...

At least that's for accomplishing something. Buying shit for a badge is not at all even close.

I'll take it from your response that you were serious, but believe me it's equally believable as a truth or a lie. That is a seriously stupid mechanism and, much like the year 2016 and the movie Idiocracy, sometimes it's hard to tell stupid fantasy from stupid reality

I actually kinda feel sorry for you a$$holes. You never knew a time when video games were something too big to ever collect. It's all about checking boxes and constant validation with you dicks.

I know right, darn those a$$holes & Dicks! I often get mad at shit I can't control because I have an opinion then go on forums and belittle people because they are different than me and couldnt possibly appreciate games  more or have played them longer than they i have, so i let them know about it to make me feel better about my situation which definately doesn't need validation....

....Please someone read this and comment on it so I know how cool my words are so I can come back on later and find some self worth...

You feed on negatively and stupidity, kinda sad really.

Absolutely.  The NA badges are purely for fueling collectardation.  Ironic that they are all slapping each other on the back even as they make it harder for each other to accomplish their own collectard goals...

The irony is that they only have to say that they posses anything to win the awards and that you can collect them all without actually collecting real games, but they do it anyway for the glory.

High-quality post.

Edit: I REALLY wanted a Mongoose when I was a kid.  Got a Murray from K-Mart instead.

Badges. They have badges. I didn't know that. Wow.

I'm trying really hard to NOT say "badges? We don't need no stinkin' badges!"...but I just said it. Edit: goes back a page, and it was already said. Still.

Badges. Man.

[Otaking]

Forget badges, this forum awards you special crystals.
It takes so much dedication to recieve the full JO crystal set.

Played this today. Then found your posts. Fate?

That reminds me, when were razor scooters a thing?

I think that started in 2000.  That's when I first noticed kids zipping around the neighborhood on them.
