I have The Longest Journey in physical PC form but it won't install on a modern operating system. I didn't get very far in it. I think I was going downtown to meet someone in the game and there was a theatre(?) involved in one of the puzzles at the end of my play session.

I picked up Dreamfall when it came out for Xbox and started it but only played about an hour. Not the games fault.

I have Chapters on Steam and PS4 but once again it is barely started. 

As a Cybersecurity engineer I wouldn't have any smart devices in my house if you held a gun to my head.

Smart devices can be easily hacked and used to steal personal information even when you aren't using them. If it is hooked to the Internet that's all anyone needs to grab personal information including passwords.

I disable Google Assistant, Alexa, Siri and Bixby on every device I own.

The internet is a scary, evil place. I lock everything down with multi factor authentication and the only voice command program I use is the one in my car that lets me say "play artist....." because it's not hooked up to shit.

We don't do Halloween anymore now that the kids are grown. Instead of spending huge amounts of money on ruining other people's kids dental health we go out at 5:00, do some shopping, have dinner and don't come back until around 9:00.

We haven't been to a movie in years. I'll probably see those movies on my flight to California in January.

Hey Blake, good to hear from you. I hate losing a save like that. When my son was younger he used to overwrite my saves all the time causing me to give up on games I was enjoying.

In my "retro" room where I have 4 minis, a 360 and my Wii U I switched out my clunky old 27" flat screen for an 27" ASUS computer monitor. I had a 4 port HDMI switch on it but the audio from the monitor was hideous.

On Amazon I found a 5 port HDMI switch with an audio extractor. I had a little 30 watt amp, a pair of speakers, some RCA interconnects and speaker cable I was going to get rid of. At least that's the story for my wife when she tells me I'm a pack rat.

Now they provide the sound in that room and that extra equipment has been repurposed. :)

Hey, I may have never met you but you've been part of my video game family for a long time. PM me if you ever need to talk because I do care about my family. :)

I look forward to it as always.

Just bought a Genesis mini last night from Walmart. I tried EB games first since I was picking up my copy of Luigi's Mansion 3 but they were sold out. Walmart had tons of them.

I've run out of HDMI ports for my minis so I had to disconnect my C64 mini to plug it in. 

I'm not sure what it has that I don't already have in the various collections I've picked up but I'll find out soon.

I have my Wii U set up in my office along with an Xbox 360 and my minis(NES,SNES and C64)

I haven't used it much in a while but I have a lot of games still to play on it. Switch takes up all my time.
