Reply to comment by wowbobwow in Nearly 30 years after playing one at a classmates house and thinking "OMG, I NEED THIS," I've got a Sega Saturn in my living room by wowbobwow

Still have my Saturn in the garage! I recommed Virtua Fighter II, Guardian Heroes, Nights: Into Deams, Darkstalkers, Sega Rally, Dragon Force, Radiant Silvergun and Panzer Dragoon Zwei (Panzer Dragoon Saga is better, but rare and a bit expensive. I bought my copy in 2000 for $100).

Edit: It's Darkstalkers, not Nightstalkers!

There is a chance they are not working though. Seriously, it takes 2 seconds to let someone know and could prevent a serious accident.

I was too lazy to read that post. Two lines AND a second paragraph?!?!

Reply to comment by __eldorado__ in [OC] Super Bowl Squares Probabilities: Factoring in the last eight years' historically weird NFL scores and Eagles-Chiefs win probabilities (both oft-ignored) by __eldorado__

With the addition of the 2 point conversion, increase of the yardage for the extra point conversion, and more teams trying to convert on 4th and short as opposed to kicking a FG, it makes sense.

So. I want combinations of 7, 4, 3 and 0. Just like every year since 1982? Shocking.

I will end up with 2 and 6 somehow...

Reply to comment by grublets in Ford now recalling 462,000 SUVs due to rear camera issue linked to at least 17 accidents by EdBegleyJuniorJunior

Yep! I totally smashed the rear window of my car trying to back into a space using only the camera. Turns out there was a low-hanging pipe near the ceiling which would've been easy to see had my lazy-ass looked over my shoulder while backing in. Because the camera is plac3d in such a way that it only looks at the ground behind you, I missed seeing the high hazard and had to get the window replaced.
