This is not true. The data has been posted in this thread multiple times, by both "sides" of the discussion. It's right in front of your eyes. I've done more than enough hand holding and explaining to last a thousand threads; I'm not going to do any more. If you can't see it....that's the end of that.

Oops. Not what I meant. I meant, did you step on 'em....cuz it was a box of spiders...anyhoo...

Did you squish 'em?? (Congrats on the 9.6. )

That's a decent point, jaydog. Decent points aren't patently false. Decent points are, at the very least, true. You have to start with a TRUE statement, before it can even approach being "decent." Produce the publicly available data that proves it's "false". You simply saying it is does not make it so. Your attempts to be condescending by saying no one "understands" the publicly available GPA data but you are a little sad. So either produce the data that disputes cerebus 1's massive decline over the last ten years or admit you are wrong. Well I don't expect you to do either, so never mind. Are you again referring to the GP Good day to you sir. -J. I already did. It's in plain black and white, for all to see. It's already posted. In fact, you yourself posted it. I didn't say "no one "understands" the data." I said YOU don't understand the data. Stop inventing things, and then claiming other people said them, while at the same time shooting them down. That's called a "straw-man argument." "massive decline" Jaydog, you are clearly trolling at this point. If you don't want to be called on it, stop doing it. Are you again referring to the GPA data that shows the very decline you are claiming doesn't exist ? Okay, great. Happy collecting. -J. Are you done making up arguments, and attributing them to other people? Are you done arguing things that no one is arguing? Are you done changing the parameters of the discussion because the actual application doesn't sit well with you? If you are, we can continue. If not, we should probably part ways here. Thanks for the engaging discussion either way. I mean that sincerely.

No, this is definitely from the early 90's, with much more advanced graphics. Alright, alright. Hang in there, buddy. We can get to the bottom of this. I guess we can rule out ghouls and ghosts, the sequel to Ghosts and Goblins as well, right? Was it Cauldron? No, but that's closer.

This is false, but you keep repeating it. Not only is it patently false, it's also deliberately misleading. You keep saying it, I'll keep refuting it.

I remember the Smurfs game. There's a computer game, NOT GHOSTS AND GOBLINS, from the early 90's, that I simply cannot find...it was some sort of Halloween type game, but for the life of me, I can't find any trace of it anywhere.

It's far too much time. The last game I spent any length of time on was Pirates of the Caribbean Online. Lots of fun, but wasted far, far too much time.

We also had a Colecovision, which was the first "TV box" game system we had in the house. That was fun.

Wolfenstein was ALMOST before MY time, and I have you beat by 3 years. Bard's Tale is from 1985. Doom is from 1993. That's quite a stretch, in computer programming years. I just looked it up...Castle Wolfenstein was released in 1981...so, you would have been 6. Kinda young for computer games...? Right, that's why I played Doom. Bards Tale 2 & 3 were the ones my buddy and I played on his Commodore Amiga, so thats probably closer to 87-88. One summer we had the guide book for Bards Tale 2 and still couldn't win the game. It was embarrassing. Civilization was a helluva game back in the day. I believe that was 1994. All classics. I played Zorks 1, 2 and 3 on the Commodore 64, that was the "family computer." We also played Track & Field ENDLESSLY. I always played for West Germany. "Deutschland uber allllllessssss..." (I wonder how many people still know there was a West and East Germany...?) And yes, it really was for the whole family. My parents paid like $1,000 for it. There's more computing power that goes INTO THIS POST than the entire Commodore 64 had. I played a little Zork. I liked it, but I seem to remember getting stuck and not being able to figure out what command to use. I threw in the towel after that. My first system was the classic 2600. Joust, Pitfall, Missle Command were family favs. We upgraded to the Intellivision, which aside from AD & D was miserable. After that was the C64 and an Ultima bender, which didn't end well either. After that came the Doom and Bards Tales AKA the Golden Years. Once I got to college my roommates and I were playing MarioKart and WCW/NWO competitively for stacked bongtokes on the N64. After graduation I had a fling with the Dreamcast before moving onto the 360 and now the XBox 1. The Marvel Lego Super Heroes alone is worth the cost of admission. Spoiler-Phoenix is the most powerful character IMO. I've also dabbled in a little IPad Magic. The 2015 is a big upgrade if you are into that. I don't play games anymore, and haven't in a while, but the college years were the NES with Mortal Kombat (mid 90's) "FINISH HIM!" "Liu Kang...WINS! FATALITY!!"

Don't you DARE.

You suck. I hate you.

Yep, he was a whack job. Kind of a right place, right time scenario as far as his ascension to power. Somebody firing up the locals at biergartens would never make it past state rep in the days of CNN. I think the Germanic people as a whole were on tilt from the entire hyperinflationary fiasco. Their leaders had failed them so often, they went with the guy who spoke with the most conviction. Yep, I watch a lot of Smithsonian. The German people were on tilt because they were Germans, raised from the cradle to revere authority. The hyperinflationary epoch of 1923 was a distant memory when Hitler finally gained power in 1933, as was the Beer Hall Putsch.

PS. Mein Kampf was written by a bonafide sociopath*, who blamed all the ills of his society on the Jews and the Communists, never once, in his entire life, stopping to consider that maybe the problems he had in life were the result of his own choices. The man was an excellent politician and propagandist, and as delusional as they come. You see the end result. *a person whose entire life revolves around gratifying his/her own desires, to the exclusion of anything and anybody else, and will use any method, even seemingly benevolent ones, as means to that end. A complete and total lack of empathy.

I don't give two hoots about Cerebus gaining any respect in any grade. That's what you and others don't seem to understand. It has nothing to do with popularity or "respect." I guess I owe you 2969 words. Speaking of Wolfenstein...did you ever play the original? That might have been a little bit before your time? Guten tag!

I don't get personal on these open boards. Your interpretation of your own data is, however, flawed. The book is down in top grade over a ten year period. There's really no need to go back and forth about it. Other folks can see the data you quoted and decide for themselves how to interpret those three sales in the last 10 years. -J. You're still missing it. It's right there, in black and white. So, you're not going to reveal how old you are? That's information that's too personal to share...?

PS....how old are you?

Then you admit you were wrong?
