So I went to Wal Mart today to buy a Dreamcast. I was there in the electronics department looking all over the place for a Dreamcast and I Couldn't find a Dreamcast. Now, you might think that it's not a big deal that I couldn't find a Dreamcast, but you are wrong. You are SO WRONG!
Look, these analysts said that the Dreamcast was maybe not going to be in Wal Mart but I KNEW they were wrong and I Should be able to buy a Dreamcast at Wal Mart. So I went to Wal Mart and wanted to buy a Dreamcast.
Is it so wrong to want to buy a Dreamcast from Wal Mart? I went in there to the electronics department, at Wal Mart, and they were like, sorry dude, we are all out of Dreamcasts.
Now, this is a huge problem. The Dreamcast should be for sale at Wal Mart. Every Wal Mart and Sears should be selling the Dreamcast. If you don't think this is a huge deal, go to Wal Mart and just try to buy a Dreamcast! You will not be able to!
And if you think it's bad right now, boogity boogity boo on you, for you are incorrect too because just think of how bad it will be at Christmas when everyoone else is trying to buy a Dreamcast from Wal Mart! It will be a holy uprising at Wal Marts all across the world!
I am going to go to a different Wal Mart now to buy a Dreamcast. Because this is a huge problem and everyone should band together to help solve it.

What do you mean? How is it last minute shopping to try to buy a Dreamcast at Wal Mart today? I want to buy a Dreamcast, Wal Mart is a store, they should sell me a Dreamcast becuase I said so. Is that too much to ask? Analysts sdon't think so and I don't think so either, so we are right and you are wrong.

We? Obviously some people get it, but you clearly don't. LOL

Look. The fact that somebody trying to get a new Dreamcast at Best Buy or Wal-Mart or Target isn't going to be able to get one is a HUGE FREAKING DEAL, whether you like to believe so or not.
Although most of us are going to move on to XBOX or GameCube or PS2, there are scores of lower income people that would very much like to buy the Dreamcast for $149.99.
They would like to buy a "new" one. The fact that they aren't even going to have that option is a pretty freaking big deal.
In fact, I think it's totally unprecidented in the History of Video Games, when we are talking about a "major" console with considerable marketshare, and it's production being halted so quickly. This has never, ever happened before. Not this quickly after the introduction of a successor.
The PS2 will be less than 90 days old, and you won't be able to find a Dreamcast brand new anywhere. Except for maybe on Ebay from some profiteer that is going to jack the price way up.
Give me an example of any other "major" console that stoped production while it was still a very viable machine with a nice chunck of market share. There isn't any.
This is definitely an unprecidented move by Sega, and there are going to be some unpleasant ramifications from this decision. I'm sure that Sega looked at this seriously and came to the conclusion that they have no other choice but to stop production, and that there will be some very frustrated and dissapointed consumers looking to buy a bran new PS2 or GameCube next year, but they are going to have to live with that.
I guarantee that once the official news comes out about this, it's going to be a huge headline for every gaming magazine, website, etc, etc. This is going to be some huge, and somewhat shocking news.

05-24-2005, 12:52 PM
I know! I'm so worried about the fact that I won't be able to play any more Dreamcast games because I can't find them anywhere since WalMart isn't carrying them any more!
I spoke with one of my friends Joe Sixpack (who posted earlier in this thread) who keeps a finger on the entire industry and gets paid a handsome salary at that, and he says that he thinks that the market share for the Dreamcast may be taken over by some newer system. That because it isn't being sold any more, it makes the Xbox and PS2 more tempting to consumers, who will then have to walk out of the store -- like he did -- with more dept on his credit card than he would've if he had got a Dreamcast.
This will lead to more people owing their credit cards more money, and credit card companies making more money off interest payments, which will mean that soon no one will be able to buy anything!
I blame it all on WalMart for no longer carrying the Dreamcast.
...
And evildead, if you don't like the thread stay out of it. I found myself laughing so hard I was nearly crying... this was just what I needed for my day :)

Maybe the analysts didn't see the top selling games of all time for the Dreamcast? I think it is right that the analysts were right this time. I honestly didn't know what would happen if I had gone into Walmart to buy a Dreamcast, since I didn't believe the analysts (I thought they were wrong too), but now I do. Did Walmart have the top selling games for Dreamcast?

And I read the other thread started by our resident 'post whore' Anthony about the XBox stoping production soon.
But I still don't get the connection with Wal-Mart and the Dreamcast.
If it was the, say, GameCube and EB that was being talked about, THAT would be a direct paradoy. LOL

I am going to go to a different Wal Mart now to buy a Dreamcast. Because this is a huge problem and everyone should band together to help solve it.
Although I have the flu and should work on something else, let me tell you something, buster:
I'm shocked about two things: first about the news, second about your post!
1. How DARE you to make fun of the Dreamcast, Sega and Walmart. What's next? Me as a smarty pants poster who knows so pretty much everything, yourself, Miyamoto or John Kerry? For heaven's sake, we are talking about John Kerry here; he's an avid gamer, he plays a lot with Theresa (might be a rumor, though), and BOTH buy their furniture at WalMart.
2. I dragged myself in shock, in fever and full of aspirin to a Walmart tonight. You are deadly wrong! Sure, I couldn't find a Dreamcast there (or DC games, which is even worse), but I talked to the manager. I was unpleasant, furious, and I think I made another enemy (what can I say? I'm a peoples person). However, I could post-order a DC because he, the manager, who is in his free time also a market analyst for the Lachter group, assured me that Sega makes still money on every DC sold.
There you have it! I'll even get a sealed Record of Lodoss War with it after I pointed out that I found a one-penny DC-Space Channel 5 at Circuit City a month ago.
The manager also told me a secret: there will be a new designed, much smaller DC available in a couple of months, co-manufactured, approved, and designed by WalMart. Wi-FI, wireless controllers, voice chat, able to play DVDs, streaming videos, jpgs, AND it comes free with meatloaf recipes, the latter even available in component video. It comes bundled with a special game: The WalMart spree featuring John and Theresa.
No DC at WalMart? Dumbness, these are all rumors spread by Sony, MS and N at E3.

This is the reason I never became a moderator? My maturity? I should have noticed when I got for the last two years the same answer back inquiring to be a moderator: "Dear poster, you are way too mature for us."
I could submit a very non-mature pic of me in a thong, holding the big gun (the Super NES Scope). Would that help? I don't have boobs, though, but I'm willing to consider a sex change. I have green bras in my closet anyway.

wow this is the funniest post ever.
not.
Look, it's a well known fact that Arcade Antics has a serious dislike of me. It's also well known that Cmosfm dislikes me as well.
Do I give a shit?
no.
So again, kiss my Italian ass. If you can't stand my posts, then don't read them. But for some odd reason it seems that you haters keep reading my posts. Gee, I wonder why? I know that if I couldn't stand somebody, I would totally avoid their posts. Hmm, you must need somebody to hate or something.
Well, you can hate me all you want. It doesn't bother me. I enjoy it. So have fun.
And next time, at least do a slightly funny post ripping on me. Because this one wasn't even close to being funny. If it was, even though it's at the expensive of me, I would admit and laugh along with everybody else.
Remember when they changed RGB to warm chocolate pudding? I was laughing my ass off over that one. That was great. I'll give a ton of credit towards that one, that was actually funny.
This one is just, well, a dud.

Show me all the Xboxs. Show me all the Xboxs. Show me all the...show me all the Xboxs. Show me ALL the Xboxs, show me all the Xboxs, show me all the Xboxs.
Ok, first off, I'm talking about the United States, and I'm talking about home consoles.
So I went to my local GameStop and I looked at their shelves, they looked quite bare. Here Nokia isn't putting out NGages anymore, but the NGage was a relatively successful system, it sold at $616 and I think the Turbo Grafx, I think the TG-16 sold at $5000 which is a lot of money today but not as much as the N-Gage because of inflation.
I ran that all through my old HP financial calculator (it's a HP-12c and it's worth about as much as the NOkai these days), I hit the SOYD button and the delta-% key
I LOVED NESTED QUOTES< I LOV THEM ALOTand
SO LET'S TAKE THEM WHERE WE'VE NEVER TAKEN THEM BEFOREI had another calculator ready just in case I needed it. I had some plates spinning on drumsticks and I was ready. Then I got THE ANSWER.
The ANSWER is so simple I'm surprised nobody has seen it yet, that is they should start selling not only the Nokia but the NES module as well. Metallic keypads! Chrome plated carry handles! RED-GREEN-BLUE CONNECTIVITY! Way of the future! JOIN USSSSS! Are you allied with her? She once tried to destroy your species.
The fact that Atari is considering the Lynx at a $12000 price point (PP at the PoP in Bel-Air) kind of amazes me though. Looking at history, no system has ever launched without RGB mod possibility and been successful without a screen adapter.
So the difference between the Lynx and the new system is say $11950 and $11900. The difference psychology wise is a lot more than the $50. For whatever reason consumers think they can get homes on loan and not have to pay extra for their RGB. Subliminally, consumers see the fuzz. Surrounding their house. OH GOD IT'S- It's only a 50 buck difference, but you can go to the local branch office, and get some nanites, and that's a lot of coffee mugs. A lot of mugs. You can stack those mugs - I think it's 1000 of them - into a nice pyramid and have some left over, but we've seen that Nintendo won't leave well enough alone.
Then I started rocking in the corner and repeating to myself a mantra, one I learned years ago about RGB, one I haven't yet forgotten, that RGB is the, the
Way of the future. Way of the future. Way of the future. Way of the future. Way of the future.
$100 versus $450. System Card III? Or Mark 3? I don't know what that means, I'm just a kid. Push all the buttons at once. Press the key in and turn to the right...turn to the left. Get the mental picture, get the whole mental picture. Subliminally that's a lot of difference in such a small package of peas, and those peas are frozen and I know I shouldn't have stuck my hand in with the dry ice and peaches. What a horrible night to have A/V cables. Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo don't include RGB anymore. Are you a bad enough dude to install RGB mods? Coordinates, coordinates, coordinates. Sonic, blast processed IS PEOPLE. It's made of pickles! Join us. Join us. What is a drop, compared to the storm? What is a pixel, compared to the RGB?
Lie down with the machine, and we shall rend you apart - rend you apart.

wow this is the funniest post ever.
Wow, this was your shortest post ever. :)
Look, it's a well known fact that Arcade Antics has a serious dislike of me.
Wrong. That's merely your short-sighted opinion. I don't even know you, and I don't ever think about you, so how would it even be possible for me to have a serious dislike of you? I do, however, have a serious dislike of your bad attitude. And the fact that you think you're so important. x_x
It's also well known that Cmosfm dislikes me as well.
Considering that you're wrong about me, I seriously doubt this one as well. Plus I happen to know that Cmofsm is a nice guy.
Do I give a shit?
Yes, obviously. LOL
So again, kiss my Italian ass. If you can't stand my posts, then don't read them.
I've tried reading them, but I go into a coma after the first four paragraphs of you endlessly repeating yourself. When I wake up, I often receive a mild electric shock caused in part by the drool that has collected in proximity to the keyboard.
But for some odd reason it seems that you haters keep reading my posts.
For some odd reason, you can't take a hint.
Well, you can hate me all you want. It doesn't bother me. I enjoy it.
I can tell. LOL
And next time, at least do a slightly funny post ripping on me. Because this one wasn't even close to being funny.
I admit that you're right about that. Nothing is funnier than your actual posts. Next to those, even Steve Martin is unfunny.
This one is just, well, a dud.
High praise from the Master! Thank you! :D

So, Arcade Antics, you don't even think about me, huh?
Then why did you take so much time and effort to construct a totally lame parody of one of my posts?
For you to spend that much time working on that, shows that you have some type of facisination with my posts or something. Because you keep showing up in my threads talking smack.

Nope. Is that so hard to believe?

I know it's so fiendishly brilliant that it might appear to have taken a long time, but if it took me more than 45 seconds to type that out, I'll eat an MVS cab.
For you to spend that much time working on that, shows that you have some type of facisination with my posts or something.
Yeah, I agree. 45 seconds is definitely too much time to waste on that. But that's what happens when I'm trying to eat a sandwich as I type. *shrugs*
Because you keep showing up in my threads talking smack.
Really? Where? x_x

OK, Now this is FUNNY! This is what I'm talking about. See if somebody wants to poke some fun at me, and actually be funny with it, then I'm all for that. I enjoy that.
That was a pretty funny little animation there. But the sandals are wrong. They were flip flops, not actual sandals. And remember black Nike Flip Flops with White Socks, a really great fashion combination!!
But that is some funny ish!!!
Good form, bro! LOL

Anthony, relax. Look, you are one of the most active and valuable posters on here, and you get a lot of responses. I always like to read your hands-on expertise in electronics and how to get the best out of games.
But we all have our weaknesses sometimes we get wrapped up in issues others don't find important; and good fun will follow. Look at me, for example: I'm a smarty-pants, a Mr.-Know-It-All (I really think I'm one of the smartest guys around), and write very long and long-winded posts.
Digitalpress, our beloved Joe Santulli himself, made once a parody post in which he used one of my sentences about the future of N and the Revolution: "can't you see the writing on the wall?"
I found it funny because he hit two nails on the head: first, the sometimes exaggerated speculations about companies/systems; second, the sentence summarized exactly my know-it-all attitude. I like to tell people, what can I tell you? :) (btw, I was exactly right about N and the system! Right? I told you so! :) )
Arcade Antics did the same. He made fun of the thread, of you, all the posters who participated. One person's very important issue and style is another person's "Duh." This fun is criticism, no doubt about it, but it is well-intended. To make good fun of others is as important as to make fun of yourself. It helps us to take ourselves not too seriously.
A good advice: wait for an opportunity to make fun of Arcade Antics, the lil' critter deserves it. :)

Look, I totally understand that I'm a " know it all, self-important, my opinion matters more than anybody elses, ASSHOLE".
I understand that. And I don't mind it if people make fun of my posts, but I just hope that when they do make fun of them, they are actually funny in the way they make fun of them, and I didn't find any humor in Arcade Antics post at all.
Does that make him a horrible human being because it wasn't funny? No. But I just hope that when somebody bags on me, they are actually funny when they do.
Again, I go back to the time they changed the word RGB to show up as "Warm Chocolate Pudding". That was some super funny ish right there. I mean, when I first read that I was laughing so hard that tears started to come down my face, I was really busting a gut over that one. That was some funny stuff. And Bratwursts little animation up there is very damn funny as well.
So again, I know alot of people hate me here, and they actually have very good reason to hate me. I'm one of those know it all assholes that always thinks that they are right and everybody else is wrong. I know I would hate my ass if I was somebody else.
So I guess I should appologize to everybody for how much of an asshole I am. I would say that I'm going to stop being an asshole, but hey, let's not kid ourselves. I'm a self-important asshole through and through and a Zebra can't change their stripes. So I'm going to continue posting threads that I think have some kind of great importance, and I'm going to continue to react with shock to anybody that disagrees with my takes.
Because lets face it. Just because I always think that I'm right, doesn't mean that I'm not always right!!!!!
just kidding.

One man's funny is another man's unfunny. Different strokes and alla that. No need to keep playing the victim.

How do you know that? Did "alot of people" tell you that?

Oh, never mind. Here's the answer I was looking for. You're projecting your feelings on to everyone else. I should have guessed as much.

Thanks for that. And I've said this to you many times over, but here it is again: as long as you don't start 16 threads with the same subject within ten minutes, you're fine. I've also told you (repeatedly) that I enjoy some of your posts, but I don't see you pointing those out.
Just lighten up, take a deep breath before you start a new thread, and the sun will shine, bunnies will dance around a rainbow, and all the world will bask in the warm glow of RGB.
Game ON.

For a few moments there I was wondering if each and every single person who posted in this thing was passing around something and taking 2 puffs from it. Now that I know what it actualy is that you people are talking about, I wish I was still under said delusion. My god, get a grip! If everything wal-mart stoped selling stoped working the moment they stoped selling it, I wouldnt have a single....crap....they did fall apart! Actualy, I dont have a clue what you people are talking about. It reminds me of a bus full of 10-13 year old girls trying to sing while screaming all the while pulling the tails of cats.

I have taken both of your posts into consideration.. I have read a LOT of posts from both of you and have decided to pick a favorite. Lets start with Arcades..
His are informative, enjoyable and get to the point in a paragraph (most of the time). He tends to post more about the old'un games (atari etc) and always has fresh material.
Now for yours..
After reading 1/2 of most of your posts, I start to wonder what reading the novelization of "gigli" would be like and if it could compare to the inticement I feel when I read your posts. They are huge, heavily repetitive and -_- .................................................. .................................................. .................... uggh... sorry.. I dozed off there thinking about your posts..
anyways...
I just wanted to throw in my 2 cents. Have fun with my spelling errors.

Anthony1, I don't hate you, as a matter of fact there's not one single person on this board that I hate. None, NO ONE, NOT A SINGLE PERSON...I know that may be hard to believe, but it's true.
What I don't like though, are your posts. ;)

Well, you're half right.

Oh come now. The Jibba-Cmosfm rivalry has been well documented. Remember the time we almost went 40 paces with Saturn controllers?
Anothony1: No one here hates you. I think that most people's problem with you is that you are the internet version of someone who talks just to hear their own voice. You keep saying how you are this asshole bad-ass guy, but I don't think that anyone thinks that. I think that you might want to think it because you want to be Mr. Italian Tough Guy, but no one else agrees. There are others on this board who have perfected the art of assholiness, and we love them for it. You have perfected the art of online verbal diarrhea, and no one loves you for that.
Speaking only for myself, I find your posts about the technical aspects of AV setups, s-video-RGB, etc. to be highly informative. Who gives a shit if they are about 13X longer than they need to be. What I find annoying is your tendency to creat 10,000 page-long posts that are either expressing your own speculation (XBox thread) or your posts that are totally self serving and leech off of our collective knowledge (help me make an eBay price guide, how much do SNES games go for on ebay, etc.) Most people wouldn't be inclined to read them if they were a few sentences, let alone 9 paragraphs. The bottom line is that you at times fill up the front page of the VG forum with 9 threads that no one but you wants to read, and you have too high an opinion of your own opinion. You could stand to be a bit more humble.
This is all just constructive criticism, man. I certainly have no problem with you, and if I were you I would be flattered by the fact that someone went out of their way to create a parody of you. But instead of saying "Good one man, thanks" and letting it roll off your back, you complained about it. I know you think that makes you come off like Mr. Italian Tough Guy, but all it does is make you come off like a whiner.

There is actually a need to once in a while step back and be able to make fun of yourself, especially on these board. I mean, seriously -- it is a message board about video games. If you post something that is wrong, or that is crazy, or if you're repeating yourself, or whatever, you should just laugh about it. Posts like this have happened to everyone who has posted here at one time or another. They've happened to me.
