Cool bit of trivia there Blue. So that is kind of like E.T. eating Reese's Pieces instead of M &M's I guess.

Yeah, did not know that. Think how popular Popeye might be right now, instead of a relative unknown.

I remember the Popeye game that was made and it was pretty fun... for a quarter They had a busted machine at the local laundry mat where if you put in a dime over and over again(like 20 times) it would register a credit

I think I first saw this game on an arcade cabinet during Expo 86 trip in Canada. I don't think I played it. Probably not. I did play it later on somewhere for sure. It was a cool game.

Re. Mario, I rebooted an original Nintendo Game and Watch of Donkey Kong just this past weekend for my daughters. It had been in my mom's attic for like 30 years.

The girls really loved it, but they were asking me where the game cartridge plugs in to the game. I had to tell them that the Game and Watch dual-screen unit only plays that one game. But they honestly didn't believe me until I walked them around the unit, which has no ports in it whatsoever.

I guess my point is, video games have come a long, long way in just 30 years. The new generation doesn't really understand just how far. And the next 30 years might be just as exciting.

Yep, too bad I am mostly retired from gaming. I bet in 30 years, it will be all VR. Anyways, I still prefer old games than the newer games.

Be careful linking to Liveleak. Most assuradely NSFW.

Also, please don't link to videosift re-aggregation videos... just link to the origianl Youtube video. Tired of all the ads.

You surf the web with ads? Have you ever heard of AdBlock? (Be sure to disable it on this fine website)

Won't that hurt Blue's revenue or does it not matter? I thought I was doing my part by allowing ads. Now I'm confused.

Perhaps you missed that part where I wrote "Be sure to disable it on this fine website". "It" being AdBlock and "this fine website" being Blues News.

And yet, this is the only website I 100% need it.

I don't use it, but I probably will. I've mentioned it many times, but those autoplay videos utterly destroy my system. They did it to my old system, then built a brand new one and it still happens. At this point, it has to be my Razer mechanical keyboard, but on Blues, since those videos appeared, I can't guarantee every letter I type actually appears in the text box.

Those autoplay videos are a menace.

Allow bluesnews.com to have ads. Block others like liveleak.com.

Ditto. Or uBlock Origin.

Real estate seems to "always rises in price" because of inflation. When factoring out inflation, real estate sees constant and considerable fluctuations in value just like any other market.

Looks like there could be some interesting jobs at the TSA in the future. "Official Breast Examiner" seems like it's going to be required at all border crossings.

Germany catches woman smuggling cocaine in breast implants.

Gives a new meaning to the phrase "her breasts made me high."

Woohoo! A neighbor just sold his house for over 100k more than he paid a couple of years ago - zero renovation. Property values here keep climbing!

Over the long term home prices always rise in price. That's why they're the best asset.

Ha, when did this start? Am I the only one/1 who never noticed that?

That only helps you if you end up going somewhere a lot cheaper - which most people don't do.

My dream home is in the same area, sea view, but without neighbors, and will cost around 5 to 10 million. Saving pennies.

I've been barking up that tree for years, someone here that submits the links must get ad revenue from videosift... why the hell would anyone actually go to that mess of a website on purpose?
