Sonic Triple Trouble is great. Best 8-bit Sonic IMO.

[Mr. Ksoft]

Indeed. I played it years ago on an emulator and loved it, but it's actually more fun to play on my actual GG. Never thought I'd find it for that low of a price, but this store knows that GG games don't move so they priced all of them at $2.

What is Triple Trouble worth? I saw it a thrift store the other day but didn't buy it.

[Mr. Ksoft]

Prices on Ebay seem to be hovering around $9 for a BIN.

That's actually better than it's been; I was going to buy a copy a few years ago and most of the copies on Ebay were around $25-40 so I decided not to. I guess it depends on how much the populace likes Sonic.

I don't recall all of the exact model numbers of each of my components, but the speakers I've had for a long time. They are KLH. You might think "wow, they must be shitty". Not so. Their drivers are extremely good. It's the fact that they use particle board instead of real wood that's shitty. But just as long as you don't go removing the drivers, it would never be an issue. They blow the living shit out of all Infinitys, all Bose and all Klipsh speakers. I like how my KLH's can reach shaking lows without any subwoofer. Full range here. My center channel is not horizontal. It is a real speaker with actual low frequencies. None of my lows are routed to the subwoofer except for the discrete audio that is mixed specifically for the LFE. My subwoofer is Velodyne and I love it to death.

My receiver is Pioneer something or other and it is pretty god damned awesome, I tell you! I love the fact that I can control the EQ. The auto-EQ is way too bright (people seem to associate high amounts of treble with audio clarity) but fortunately it lets me adjust each parameter myself. Since I tune real movie theaters, I can get my home system to sound as close as possible to that using the same mics, etc. I find that most consumer-people tend to make their surrounds way too loud and even their subwoofer as well.

Nice! I just "upgraded" my sound system. All I did was buy some speaker wire, stick the Polk T15's in the back and put some Sony speakers(old but better than my Polks) in the front. All I need is a Center, Subwoofer, and a new receiver(if I feel like it)

[David J.]

Thank you, Youngie... I am LOVING USB on my car. Fuck swapping CD's/

It was only $178 (that was WITH tax...)

I shoulda bought it while I was home on leave, and just brought it back with me. As it was on sale for $150 back home. But full price when I got back! Best Buy wanted $140 for this Door Chime/Alarm Harness, and I found the one I needed from one of the aftermarket brands they use at a Walmart for $38! And they where out at the first Best Buy I went into to get it installed at. Oh well...

It only cost me like $60-something out of pocket ($38 for the harness and I only had to pay $23 for the installation out of pocket)
