Atari 7800 Review
Hello all! I know I haven't posted much to the dismay of overbearing people who keep REMINDING ME! Anyway, the review hinted at for like EVER is here!
The Atari 7800:
Console Design: It looks nice with that slim band on the top, and is extremely sturdy!
Controllers: Essentially imagine the black box of pain from Dune. EXCEPT GOOFIER LOOKING! The buttons are horrible, and at difficult to use positions. The joystick isn't winning any awards either. I've seen many video of people holding these things, and none of them have found a good solution for where to put their hands! This makes the 2600 controller look heavenly. At least it won't break like the 5200 controller. Note: You can use genesis controllers for 2600 games, but I found some issues using them with 7800 games.
Graphics: Atari 7800 games exist in that odd area between systems like the 5200 and the NES. It's superior to the 5200, but not by much. It's inferior to the NES, but not by much. The fact that it's release AFTER the NES is inexcusable.
Games: Atari 7800 games are usually similar to 2600 games stylistically. The library of the 7800 has far fewer titles, but also less shovel-ware. It's a mixed bag overall. HOWEVER! The 7800 can also play 2600 games. This makes the 7800 the version to get simply because it supports both systems very well.
Conclusion: This is a system that will win few awards in pretty much anything, but it performs solidly in almost everything. Collect-ability: C+

Bargainworld Deluxe + #2
Bargainworld Deluxe addition number 2-
Khalva’s record after he told Blue to find the clue-
“OK, we don’t have much time before that runt comes back and Famtok finishes the slaughter! We gotta move! CR 689! Go find a hiding place and be sure to leave a signal. You can make a series of beeps, whatever, so long as you stop when you see me!” Khalva commanded quickly. He then sprinted off in the direction of Famtok.

Bargainworld Deluxe UPDATE!
So, if any of you were confused by the fact that I uploaded the last couple of pages of BWDX as a new post, that is because I am switching it to more of an episodic format of uploading. I made it this way because updates don't show up on the front page, and having the story chapters loaded all at once is a pain to scroll over. If you Haven't yet got caught up on BWDX, get on it! the original post is still here, and has the first 2 or so chapters.
Bargainworld + #1
Bargainworld Deluxe addition 1:
After landing on the planet, Khlava and CR 27 headed to the nearest city.
“Hey robot. Go find out where we are supposed to go.” Khalva commanded.
“Not happening. I am not a slave to humans.” CR 27 replied.
“Hey, I’m not asking you to be a slave to humans. Just be a slave to me.”
“Why haven’t I killed you yet?
“Because you need me. You know, to kill people. Oh well, I guess I’ll help this time. Let’s look in that bar.”

Retro Review!
So, since some of you have been asking for a retro review, EVEN THO OCTOBER ISN'T OVER! (glares) I will give you a retro review. Of the wonderswan color.
The wonderswan color was released as a color edition of a wonderswan. The end.
The screen on the wonderswan color is great. For not displaying anything. Because it is as dark as the darkest abyss. It's pretty dark.
Pros: Most games are inexpensive. It's got final fantasy.
Cons: The speaker, the fact it was only released in Japan, the screen, the buttons, the cartridge design, the battery bump, and the fact that 90% of the games are RPGs
In the end, I give it a collectors ranking of ???? In that, if you can speak Japanese its a B. It's very inexpensive and easy to collect for. If you can not, it gets a D. Most of the English friendly games are the most expensive, and collecting other handhelds makes way more sense. I just have one because I'm weird.

Animal Fries Review
Here's a new idea for this blog: food reviews. I personally am not a trained gastronome, so don't expect high grade reviews, but I can tell my opinion. Fist off we are starting with IN N OUT's animal fries.
For those unaware of what exactly animal fries are, they are a secret menu option which is essentially an order of fries with american cheese, secret sauce, and grilled onions on top. You have probably just made up your opinion on whether or not you will like it based on that alone, but I was kinda surprised at how it tasted. I am not a cheese person, plain and simple, it is simply not my fave, and I prefer my hamburgers without it. So of course I thought animal fries might be the worst thing ever, but I was VERY pleasantly surprised.
When you get animal fries, it looks like a monster straight out of a cheesy 50's movie, and I mean that in a good way. It comes with a fork and napkin, so if you're driving, I recommend going inside the building to eat this. If you're familiar with chili cheese fries, this should be pretty well known territory. The first bite is in a word, overpowering. That sauce totally dominates, followed by the strong cheese flavor and some hint of onion. This is probably the point where you either hate it or love it. For me, it honestly depends on if I am in the mood for such strong flavors. When I am, it's the best thing ever, but when I'm not, it's just repulsive. Honestly, this is a dish you need to try for yourself, unless you're on a diet, and in that case WHY ARE YOU TEMPTING YOURSELF WITH THIS ARTICLE?
In conclusion, this is really a hate it or love it food item, and I find myself on both sides. I recommend eating it only occasionally, not just for health but for palate reasons as well. If it sounds good, go pick it up, of course IN N OUT is only in the western US, so there might not be any locations near you. If that's the case, you are doomed.
So, if you want me to continue with this kind of article (I'd add pictures of course, this was just a prototype) just comment here, and this could by a series.

Changes.
So, as you might have been able to tell, the blog's layout has changed slightly. No worries, I'm not monetizing this or anything, just making the blog layout a little better. Up at the top you will see a box to put your email address in, this is to subscribe to this blog via email. I think it's probably the best way to stay informed. Also, at the bottom and to the side of the page I have added a couple of polls, so be sure to check those out.Another change I made is I made the titles blue, but I am unsure about keeping this. -Oh, and if you have any such wish to share this blog, of which have no withdrawals (the blog is open anyway) you may do say by clicking the more button on the top of the page. If you think the site needs changes, comment here, at least for now.
P.S.- A whole bunch of oldie posts were updated for accuracy. The rule blog change is especially important, as that is essentially the foundation of this blog.
