I agree with Socky in this instance. It's a glorified emulator machine that only plays a handful of old games that I've already played to death. I get that there's more value if you haven't played them, but I still think it's overpriced given how often they've ported some of these old games to the handhelds.

For me, I would rather have the games digitally on the Switch, or have the collection of games as a single Switch game, or have this mini SNES be regular sized and accept cartridges as well, and not be tied down to an imitation console.

Pizza in 15 minutes and an Amazon package I ordered at 6 A.M. was delivered at 4:30 P.M. the same day even though it was 2 day shipping.

So just an actual SNES? Or do you mean like a SNES that also has those games preloaded?

I'd rather have those on Switch too, but I say that already owning a Switch. You don't have one, do you? Cause instead of $80, right off the bat that makes it $300, plus whatever they decide to charge. I think SNES games are $8 each on the VC, so it would probably be more expensive for the games alone, too, and it's still just an emulator.



Anyways, to answer the relevant question: Can't think of the quickest thing I've gotten, but it reminds me that sometimes I'll order something to be shipped from a seller who happens to be in Denver. It always ends up taking three or four days so sometimes I'm tempted to ask if they'll just do pickup. In general, I think the fastest I got was two days later because even when I do one-day shipping it always seems to be too late in the day and doesn't actually get shipped til the day after

I meant the second thing you said, where it's a hybrid SNES where it had the games preloaded and you could still put cartridges in it, to get some extra utility out of the console. But if it's like the NES classic, I'm sure people will find a way to hack it and add the rest of the games on it anyway.

And no I don't have a switch, so it would be expensive for me, but I would rather see the trend of collections on disc as opposed to standalone accessories.

Do any of you guys have the NES classic?

It's weird to say that for how good they are, they could still miss the playoffs in the long run. The Dodgers turned on God Mode.

I think I liked Genesis Aladdin better too. Did you prefer Aladdin or Lion King? Lion King was the notoriously difficult one.

I think they were both equal. In terms of difficulty, I think Aladdin was more difficult. Lion King starts off hard and maintains that level throughout, while Aladdin starts off easy and then gets unbearable by the end. I beat them both as a kid because I had unlimited time to master them, but I think after I beat Aladdin once, I just used the unlimited lives code to get through the later stages on subsequent playthroughs because it was more frustrating than fun.

I definitely didn't have the patience to beat either of those games. I don't think I ever got past the "I just can't wait to be king" level in Lion King without cheats.

I would have been willing to buy an NES Classic for $60, but that ship has sailed. At least with the SNES Classic I'll be prepared, but I still expect it to be hard to get. I heard Nintendo plans to produce twice as many, which doesn't sound like much to me. Maybe it is, but with the NES Classic it seemed like there were four or five people wishing they got their hands on one for every one person who did.

Amazingly they still hold a 6.5 game lead on the second wild card spot right now, but even that feels tenuous. They aren't just losing games, but getting dominated every single time out and every time that kind of skid happens it makes you wonder how they can possibly win any game. This has especially been a problem with the Rockies over the years as they almost never have a true ace to count on to end a losing streak.

I didn't think they would do it. I feel like he still had a plan in the grand scheme of things but his results have been abysmal and I know players and executives didn't like him. Maybe the only good thing since he's been there has been drafting Porzingis, but they haven't utilized him properly in an offense run by Carmelo. Speaking of which, I wonder if they got rid of Jackson to lure Carmelo into staying.

Well, it looks like Chris Paul is going to the Rockets. I know he wasn't going to sign with the Nugs but just getting a visit still would have been good for us

He probably saw our draft and said no thanks. The Spurs must be feeling burned though

Fangraphs did a post about it and the conclusion was basically that Arrieta is very slow to the plate and Montero has a very slow pop time (time between catching the pitch and standing up to throw) so they both suck at it basically. Montero is a decent hitter though so the DFA is definitely personal. Also Arrieta sucks.

Yeah, I saw that Montero has the second-worst pop time in MLB and it doesn't help that he had Lester, who can't hold guys on base, and Arrieta, who takes forever. I have nothing against the catcher they just called up but I kinda hope he sucks just because the Cubs are somehow annoying to me and I don't even know why.
