If Apple is gonna go all in with this virtual home button thing for the next iPhone, they should just add a back button as well.

Dreadnought is really fun. Heavy team oriented gameplay. Went in solo and got washed and team proceeded to get torn apart :huhldup:

So my niece has been begging me to take over my ps4 so she can play with it. She has a ps3 and we usually play one of the old call of duty games, I think modern warfare. I wouldn't mind taking it since I rarely use it these days but it's too much of a hassle disconnecting it and dragging it over there. Maybe for Christmas her family will all want to pitch in and get her one.

So instead I took her my mini genesis system. The one that has games built in. I really hadn't used it much at all so I told her she can hold on to it. Give her something different to play with.

Then she asked me to bring over my wii. I haven't used my wii since I got my tv about a year ago and it was already disconnected. I plugged it in after work last night to fukk around with it. The thing about my wii is that I had modded it and had it perfect. Had all the good games. Both Zelda games, Mario galaxy 2, call of duty, Madden, donkey Kong, and others. All on a small western digital passport hard drive. That's the only reason I used to mess with the wii cuz before that I really didn't much. Only games I had physical were Wii sports, def jam rap game, dj hero, and Mario galaxy 1.

Now before I put it away in my closet, the external drive was acting up. I was like ok maybe it's not working, no worries, I'm packing it away anyways. So I plug it in to mess with it last night and the hard drive still not working. I plug it into my computer and it's not recognized. So I'm thinking it's probably dead. I tried looking for a way to reformat it or start new but it has no power button, reset button, nothing but a small led light. Most of the mod data should be on the sd card. I think just the iso files are on the hard drive. I don't mind looking for them again, hopefully the save files are on the system or sd card. Just frustrating dealing with this dead hard drive. I thought maybe it was the cable but I doubt it. Maybe I'll buy a cheap hard drive and see. It was a small one with not even a tb of space.


Unrelated but I was looking thru my old Amazon order history to see if I had purchased it from there. Didn't find out but found my old 3tb drive that I still have full of old tv shows and cartoons. I paid 180 for it maybe 6 or 7 years ago. Fast forward to today where I recently paid 160 for a 8 tb one when best buy had a sale. Funny how when you look back at things from the past and compare the costs. Almost three times the data and paid less.

Decided to do a bit of data transferring. I have two old western digital my book hard drives. One is 1tb and the other I think is 3. Got them full of old shows and movies. Things I had gotten when I was heavy into torrents. Shows like boy meets world, fresh Prince, family matters, king of queens, the sopranos, and more. Got both hard drives connected to a western digital media player on the tv. Recently purchased a 4tb easystore drive so I'm moving everything from both drives to it. I put in the 1tb and it's saying like 7.5 hours, that's how much I have on there. I imagine the other drive will take the whole day. :francis:

So now it'll be easier to use that drive for entertainment purposes and to move around. The other two drives I'm thinking of using for the ps4 and x1. They have been reliable but I'd rather move all the data to a newer drive and be safer. Took me years of work to build the collection so losing it will be brutal. I'll leave my 8tb one for my computer and when I start putting any games on it.

I found some old roms on the hard drive. I'll have to find a good emulator. Got genesis, snes, and Nintendo 64.

I just got drunk in Houston trying to meet a girl in a bar for a one night stand (Tuesdays aren't popping though :mjcry:)

I got home and just bought an NES Classic for $233 :snoop:

At least it'll look nice next to my other collectables. Now where's the SNES Classic preorders? :patrice:
