I’m still playing CDs from 1985 without any issue. And they often sound way nicer than overcompressed remasters I can find on Spotify. Would it be different with DVDs for a reason I ignore ?
Well, crap was maybe too strong of a word but they're nothing to write home about and not very precise (–4 to +10 seconds). OP seems attached to historical value, and if you ask me there's more interesting vintage watches to buy for that money, and some watches that will hold their value and aesthetics way more than PRX, which is all the rage now and will probably get old pretty fast.
Go for the second hand speedmaster from a reputable seller. This is the one you want and will eventually buy. If you really want to know more than you should about the watch, get the moonwatch only book. This is the bible that will help you to check everything from every version ever of the myth. Even if you don’t buy at the end, if you’re a geek I can assure you you’ll dig the content. The movements in those Tissot watches are crap, you’d be better get a serviced vintage in the 500-700 euros range than those glorified fashion watches in my opinion.
Hasn’t the whole fast food industry been based on this for decades? I always start salivating in advance when considering going to BK or McD and it's ALWAYS disappointing. Still, i'm always coming back. No more than once or twice a year, and it's still too much if you ask me, but I always seem to forget how much a betrayal those pictures are. That's good (fallacious) marketing to me. I don't know who this Seth is but he really seems like he’s never been through much.
US market was huge and US subsidiairies could impose their very own vision to HQ. It’s been the case for a lot of vg companies in those days. Check Capcom. Plus everything must look badass in the states, especially as the Genesis (Megadrive) was king back then there and looked way more mature.
Classic ! Try Magical Drop 2 or 3 and Money Idol Exchanger on the same system. There's a good chance she'll love them. They're a little bit more nervous tho, especially Money Idol !
Puzzle Bobble, actually, is definitely one of the more iconic Neo Geo title. If you open it, you may have a surprise. The game was such a success that Snk itself had to butcher other, less successful games (essentially Power Spikes II if I remember correctly), to produce conversions/bootlegs and answer to customer's demand. It has one of the best replayability of the system, it's very fun playing versus, plus, girls absolutely love it. There have been many sequels, but none live up to the original despite the additions, and they’re all more or less unnecessary.
In french we talk about "le savoir-faire" vs "le faire-savoir" (Know-how vs making it known") and the importance of good communication. Apple are the bestest at it. Remember the iPod shuffle and the lack of screen marketed as a feature to spice up your life.
What a blast from the past. Partition magic was a huge part of our journey discovering and loving computers here with my friends. Hello and thank you from France !
