| 29196 | Hyperkin RetroN 5 | I held off on getting this console for quite a while. But after thinking about it, and looking into it more, I decided to go ahead and save up for it. I also went ahead and decided to get Fire Emblem for the Famicom has one of the first games to try out the translation patches.<div><img src="/images/postImages/1456179474RetroN5-1.jpg"><br><div><br></div><img width="500" height="300" src="/images/postImages/1456179498RetroN5-2.jpg"><br><div>The emulation is pretty good. There's still some games that has created some issues. Particularly, with games like Yoshi's Island, where the audio would bring in some issues... sometimes even to the point where there's a lot of stutter in getting the audio to work properly. <br><br>I'm still interested in looking towards an RGB setup from the original hardware using the XRGB framemeister. A setup like that blows the RetroN 5's emulation right out of the water. But the RetroN 5 is still a nice, cheaper alternative to that. Plus, it's also useful in the sense that you can back up your save files, and being able to play Japanese games in English.</div></div> | blueluigi | Feb 22, 2016 |  |

| 29192 | Collections | I'm not much of a collector. I don't exactly go out of my way to buy any one particular thing. Closest thing to that is the shot glasses of various places I get whenever I travel with the wife. | Linux_Sage | Feb 22, 2016 | |
| 29191 | Peanuts return to the big screen! | DVD and Blu-ray release is March 8th. | Mr Magic | Feb 22, 2016 | |
| 29190 | The Flintstones | Nothing boring about this, edd.<div><br></div><div>You're right, there were memorable music moments from the series like The Twitch, Ann Margret (Or should I say Margrock lol) doing her man-bashing song, and my personal favorite...</div><div><br></div><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_xshFLmea3w" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br></div><div>Great, spirited rendition, Fred. I love it when those girls, faint lol. </div> | Mr Magic | Feb 22, 2016 | |
| 29189 | Last Movie You Watched | Django (1966)<div><br></div><div>7/10 Good italian western movie. Obviously a big influence to quentin tarantino's style and a big inspiration for django unchained. He even used the theme song from this in django unchained.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/A3WVNT4Djb8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | Jrs1991 | Feb 22, 2016 | |
| 29188 | The Flintstones | Relax, I'm not going to bore ya with another looong story.<div><br></div><div>I just want to say that The Flintstones is so old that it goes back to a time when the three major networks, NBC, ABC and CBS, only ran a part-time broadcast schedule. In 1960 some markets would be "off-air" for most of the day.</div><div><br></div><div>ABC was always in 3rd place when compared to its bigger rivals so it was always looking for unique programs to offer viewers that might steal some market share from the big boys. Enter Hanna-Barbera with the crazy idea of a "prime-time animated TV series" for the 1960 television season.</div><div><br></div><div>Everyone knows The Flintstones but I was stunned to see the Original 1960 Intro and Closing credits on YouTube. I was only 3 years old at the time but I've never forgotten that catchy music while Fred drove like a crazy man in a hurry to get home, lol. </div><div><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sL_zF_EPK74" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br></div><div>Now here's a real treat, the Original 1960 Closing credits. The Flintstones was originally sponsored by Phillip Morris so the first closing sequence was a fade from the Phillip Morris cigarette ads that paid for the whole series. Never thought I would see Fred yelling for Wilma and waking up all the neighbors again.</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/WSF3CV0OPGU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><div><br></div><div>Remember, that first season of The Flintstones was unique in the draw styling and voice acting. Nothing was set as far as production standards were concerned. For H-B, the hope was just to survive for as long as possible. Good thing the show was a big hit.</div><div><br></div><div>Here's a clip where Wilma and Betty get back at the boys for trying to keep their latest money making scheme a secret from both of them. Seems like every episode was the girls teaching the boys a lesson, lol.</div><div><br></div><div>Don't overlook the music on The Flintstones. Some of the best episodes have memorable songs that make this cartoon a lot of fun for kids of all ages.</div><div><br></div> <iframe width="420" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/_oAnEiH_B5I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> | eddstarr | Feb 22, 2016 | |
| 29187 | The Flintstones | I never was a huge fan actually. But...I'm sure I'm in the minority here, but I liked the Pebbles and Bamm Bamm show. I watched it when they showed it as part of USA Cartoon Express at 6pm on weeknights in the late 80's or early 90's. I remember they used to show it right after Laugh-a-lympics. | mickyarber | Feb 22, 2016 | |
