Title: Have you guys seen the $40 Nanocade?
Post by: DeLuSioNal29 on January 13, 2015, 12:16:56 pm: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1084380138/meet-nanoarcade-the-worlds-smallest-arcade-gaming (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1084380138/meet-nanoarcade-the-worlds-smallest-arcade-gaming)

Looks like it's $40 (+$8 shipping) and runs Java based games (or Java Mame games). Comes with everything but the games which you can upload via a mini-USB cable.

Something to keep an eye on...

This proves that 'wife's dusty ipad' is a euphamism in the pbj household. >:D

Post by: pbj on January 13, 2015, 03:38:09 pm: Was talking to a married friend and unmarried friend yesterday. Married one says, "just wait til you get married and you don't have any sex unless you promise to knock her up."

And I said, "Oh yes, the, "You know, you DO have hands, a mouth, and a butt" conversation."

It doesn't end well.
