I love the funny things kids say in the retro video game store. I remember a couple kids looking at NES games, and they're looking at some Zapper game and the one kid says, "these won't work on our TVs. We need a glass TV" I just thought that was funny. The ancient glass television. I have a couple LED tv's, but the tv in my room is a "glass tv," lol. I don't have cable or satellite in my room anyway, so all I do is retro game on it, anyway.

Bahaha I haven't heard them called "glass tvs" in ages.
On a related note, I've got enough light phaser games for the Master System to make an evening of, if anyone wants some target practice.

Can you use the Master System Light Gun on the Genesis with the Power Base Converter? If so, I'm going to have to get me one.

I've also heard that the light phaser works with the Lethal Enforcers games as well. I'll test it all out for sure tonight though. I don't think I've used the phaser with the power base converter yet.

So last night on Twitter Kanye West announced his next album would be titled: Turbo Grafx 16. I'm not joking, lol. Its not really a secret that Kanye is a nerd (and self centered) but reading the responses gave me a laugh. 99% of them said "what the fuck is that?" or "The fuck does that mean?" Lol

So wait hes already annoucing his new album? Im not a kanya fan but a youtube channel i watch called etc news had been talking him where he just released a album like literally last week and he changed the name on it like 6 times days to seconds before it released. Anyway he probably doesn't know what a turbo grafx 16 is himself lol.

I'm really torn about what to do with my fight stick. Amazon has it on back order and is going to overnight it to me when they get it but they have no time estimation on when that might be. I kind of see where I want to go with Vega in SF5 but I don't really want to put too much time into using the controller (which I'm having a little trouble with) just to have to re-learn everything when my stick arrives. Just not sure if I should cancel the order and by one off eBay for a little bit more money or just wait it out. Either option has its pros and cons for example most of the Hori Mini 4s on there are only about $15 more than the Amazon price BUT they would have to ship from Japan. Grrrrr, I really don't know which way to go with this, lol, hopefully Amazon will get some in soon.

The problem with it beong Hori is that they're pretty much a Japanese only company to my understanding, so I'm sure your backorder is probably coming from there too.
You might keep an eye out for Madcatz stuff on Amazon day by day. You can actually see their stuff come into stock and then disappear the same day, I guess because of the Street Fighter V rush.
Have you tried to call someone at Amazon yet to see if anyone can find some kind of tracking or promise date on your backorder?

Ugh lookin on ebay the hori minis price has gone up due to sfv im guessing. I was seeing them around 50 but now im seeing them around 64 to 68. Last i checked gamestop had some of their madcatz stuff instock if you get interested in that. Im enjoying my madcatz alpha stick but the biggest down fall on it is that it doesnt have top quality parts like the TE does. The first night playing with it on sfv my balltop on my stick snapped in half. Luckily fist hooked me up with a spare sanwa ball to replace it but I also put in a order for sanwa parts so i can upgrade this thing. The inside is built amazing like the TE its just that they used cheaper plastic for the buttons and ball top.

Yup, AND if I was to go that route it would probably have to ship from Japan. I'll give Amazon till this weekend since they have promised to overnight it to me but if they don't come thru I'm moving on and taking Fist's suggestion and shopping around for a MadCatz. Any MCZ you guys can suggest around $50-$70?
