Currently watching The Wailing 2016. one hour into the movie and I recommend it to everyone here. Especially the horror/thriller fans.

'Snapped' is coming on at 2:00pm on the Oxygen Channel. Any fans? It's along the lines of Dateline, 20/20, 48 Hours - but always about some demented chick who offs her husband/boyfriend Good stuff

Built a Raspberry Pi arcade cabinet in the last few weeks so I'm being all nostalgic and playing lots of arcade games.

A bit meh, and too messy.

I have Youtube TV and I set it up to record NBA teams and XFL games and even tennis events so I can watch those to get my sports fix.
But it just won't be the same.

Earlier I watched a YouTube video that was something about the Phillies wanted to acquire Michael Jordan back around 1995, and how it could have lead to them signing Albert Belle, Roger Clemmens, Roberto Alomar, and some SS, and stopping the Yankees from being a dynasty.

Love it - own it - 7/10 beers  Didn't quite work for me. Think it tried to be too clever for it's own good, and got too messy.

What kind of games?
Or is this like pinball?

I've yet to see it - heard horrible reviews.
I tend to go back to Creepshow I & II and Trick r Treat.

All kinds of old arcade games. From the early Atari, Sega, Taito and Namco games (think Galaga, Arkanoid, Space Invaders) right through to Neo-Geo and Capcom games (Street Fighter, Final Fight etc). Tons of sports games too. Got some arcade style buttons and joysticks and made a 2 player cabinet. Lots of fun.

awesome - sounds like you put in a lot of work
not a gamer - but i got hooked on sports games as a kid - i.e. playstation II NHL, MLB, NFL, NBA, Boxing games
but I also got hooked on the old school Castlevania games since I'm a horror freak if you ever heard of them.

I have a rom of the original Castlevania game for the Famicom Disk System. That's the great thing about RetroPie on the Raspberry Pi. Its basically a collection of emulators with a customisable GUI. Once you have the original rom you can play it on the system. It's great. I've all the NES, SNES, MegaDrive etc roms on another SD card so I can just switch them up and play old console games too. You can play some of the classics here. Not as cool as playing on a cabinet but playable nonetheless. Castlevania
