36779	Virtual Console Thursdays	Week of July 27, 2017:<div style="font-weight: normal;"><br></div><div><b>Wii U Virtual Console:</b></div><div><b><br></b></div><div>Victory Run (TG-16)</div><div>$5.99</div><div><img src="https://r.mprd.se/media/images/63849-Victory_Run_(Japan)-1459878518.png"></div><div><br></div><div>Air Zonk (TG-16)</div><div>$5.99</div><img src="https://r.mprd.se/TurboGrafx-16/TG16-PCE/EXTRAS/Turbo%20Grafx%2016%20-%20Boxes/Air%20Zonk%20(U).jpg"><div><br></div><div>Ninja Spirit (TG-16)</div><div>$5.99</div><div><img src="http://media.ign.com/games/image/object/005/005633/ninja_spirit_front.jpg"><br></div><div><br></div><div>Also released for the Switch as part of the ACA Neo Geo lineup is Super Sidekicks. It's one of SNK's first attempts at making a sports game... in this case, soccer. I can't say this particularly excites me as I'm not a fan of sports games to begin with. But on the flipside of that, Hamster actually beat EA to the punch by releasing a soccer game for the Switch before FIFA 18 came out.</div><div><br></div><div>On the subject of retro games, Namco Museum is now out for the Switch. This installment includes eleven classic Namco arcade games, but is missing some good classics (such as Mappy). But the main highlight is the inclusion of Pac-Man VS, which allows single player, and the ability to play multiplayer on multiple Switch systems. Sounds like a good collection to have, but $30 seems to be pushing it. Not sure if Namco is looking to base their support of the Switch on how successful this game sells. Then again, Ultra Street Fighter II sold surprisingly well on the Switch, despite being a 25 year old game with a $40 price tag. Speaking of Capcom, it seems that Namco did what Capcom didn't by releasing a compilation game of retro video game classics. Are we ever going to see The Disney Afternoon Collection and Megaman Legacy Collection 2 ported to the Switch?</div>	blueluigi	Jul 29, 2017

36777	That's Just Stupid	So over the last few days, a news story about a murder on a cruise ship in Alaska has been making the round. Apparently a women was killed by her husband because, according to her husband, he didn't like the fact that she <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/gma/man-says-killed-wife-aboard-cruise-ship-because-185505909--abc-news-topstories.html">wouldn't stop laughing at him.</a><div><br></div><div>To all the married men of Retro Daze, a new standard has been set for that day you finally reach your breaking point.</div>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Jul 29, 2017
36776	How was your day?	So today I was in a Deli getting a breakfast sandwich. As I was waiting in line, an old Italian guy said I should become a mob enforcer given my huge size. He then want on to tell some old bookie story that I can't remember.<div><br></div><div>At first I was flattered, then it slowly dawned on me that this guy likely has had somebody killed at some point in his life.</div>	Rick Ace Rhodes	Jul 29, 2017

36773	The Emoji Movie	Rotten Tomatoes used to be a fun site back in 2010. Back then the user reviews were magnificently better designed then today. People used to not only be able to do reviews and ratings, but blogs as well. Plus you could add friends on the site, and put together special groups as well. It used to be real fun.

36772	The Emoji Movie	Their scores for movies are always suspiciously low, even in otherwise great movies. It's kinda fishy.<br><br>IMDB has spoken: The Emoji Movie holds a 1,5/10 record (oh and the review titles are hilarious xD).<br>	Silvervix	Jul 29, 2017
36771	black & white TV	<b>Alfred Hitchcock Presents</b> was an anthology show with several stories. It had the famous Hitchcock silhouette and music<span id="eow-title" class="watch-title" dir="ltr" title="Gounod - Funeral March of a Marionette"> Gounod - Funeral March of a Marionette</span> and the line of, "Good Evening" with Hitchcock narrating. One I remember vividly watching as a kid while eating Domino's Pizza delivered with glass coke bottles was about an attempted prison escape where the inmate arranges with the prison undertaker to sneak into a coffin with the corpse and be buried in the prison cemetery outside the prison walls and then be dug up by the undertaker. All was going well and they managed to get into the coffin undetected and buried and while waiting to be dug up went through a range of emotions wondering what was taking so long and if they had been double crossed they turned to see who was dead they were lying with and it was the undertaker that was supposed to dig them up! Many of the stories were redone over the years as the show changed to The Alfred Hitchcock Hour with twice as long episodes and later Alfred Hitchcock Presents redone in color in 1985. Robert Redford was in an episode.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1501283589Alfredhitchcockpresents.jpg"><br><br><b>Boris Karloff's Thriller</b>, that's right the original Frankenstein's monster narrated and sometimes starred in these macabre little tales of dread. Check it out you will be amazed at all the celebrity faces you recognize like William Shatner, Mary Tyler Moore, Dick York, etc. One of my favorites is called the The Devil's Ticket where a guy bamboozles the devil and wins his soul. He made a deal with the Devil to be the best artist but he had to agree to paint a self portrait. The catch is that each portrait he does has a piece of the soul of the person and that is why they are so life like and a perfect likeness. He can trade the soul of another in the form of a painting in exchange for his own soul that has been pawned to the devil.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1501282498Boris-Karloff's-Thriller.jpg"><br><br><b>Twilight Zone</b> Rod Serling's classic parade of the bizarre and strange<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1501284731twilight-zone.jpg"><br><br><b>Have Gun Will Travel</b> was a western about a mercenary gunfighter called Paladin. If you have ever wondered what the song the four boys are singing in the movie Stand By Me, it is the theme song from this show. He had a chess knight on his holster and saved the day getting the bad guys while getting paid.<br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1501282291Palladin.jpg"><br><br>and <b>The Munsters</b><br><br><img src="/images/postImages/1501284804munsters.jpg"><br><br><br>	NLogan	Jul 28, 2017
