VN Ren'Py Long Road Home [Ep.15] [OBDGames]

[PapaPhat]

Not to trying one up you, but when dad upgraded to an outside antenna over the "rabbit ears" we had the antenna pole strapped the eaves of the house. We kept a pair of vise grips clamped to it. Dad would send me outside to turn the antenna to tune in the signal when he switched channels. Poor folks, have poor ways...

Yeah the Betamax player quickly became a paper weight.

Even with the aerial, the rabbit ears on our set still served for fine tuning. The Sony Trinitron had decent reception for that era. It was a top of the mark model for the time. And... NOBODY touched our aerial but dad!!! hahaha Even though we lived in Indiana, tornado central, dad was concerned the aerial would get damaged if anyone else even touched it! Dad had to have his Walter Kronkite and Steelers football! hahaha

As for the Betamax... I did look at both and asked one question... "What's the runtime on the video cassette?" VHS won, hands down with regular play option at about two hours and the slow play option allowing an entire miniseries on a single cassette! You were lucky to get an hour on a single Betamax tape. That was the deciding factor for me. At least you could get a full episode of Charlie's Angels on one Betamax tape! hahaha

Sláinte, Phat

Woo wee, I'd have to go in the "Way back machine " to remember that. The best I remember, the Betamax was supposed to have better video quality over VHS. I don't remember having short recording time issues. But I wasn't recording feature length movies though. Mostly Monty Python, Bennie Hill and Mystery Science Theater 3000...

 

[Dimitri57]

Chief called them the "double tongues" and he could not have been more correct! Endeavor to persevere... might as well have been try to try. Redundant rubbish. Politicians have always been rubbish, the worst of the worst, redundant people.

Well said Phat! A pox on both their houses...

And now for something COMPLETELY different.... IT's...
Monty Python's... Flying Circus...
Still love that show today!
All the BBC shows were on PBS! Even Benny Hill!!! Hahaha
It was especially funny when Python and Benny Hill aired right after Masterpiece Theatre or Nova! hahaha

I always thought cable TV was a ripoff, just like dad because we paid for the service and the channels STILL had commercials! What a ripoff!!!

My old man predicted cable TV when I was like 11 and, trust me, that was WELL into the last century! Anything to make a buck, as they say. We have six TV's in the house and I have not watched any of them for over a year; this story beats the crap out of anything on it anyway!

 

[PapaPhat]

“Endeavor to persevere” is the phrase that triggered them. Typical political proclivity of saying something, while not saying anything.

I still love Outlaw Josey Wales too. It was the first film that I can remember that had real native Americans playing their ancestors. I thought it was chief Dan George that called the politicians Double Tongues but it was Will Sampson as Ten Bears...

Will was in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest

Chief Dan George... Endeavor to persevere... We thought about it for a long time... and, when we had thought about it long enough... We declared war on the union.

I have a forty something inch Sony Bravia now... I run an HDMI cable to it to watch internet stuff and streaming video... so all that tech and it's basically a huge extra monitor! hahaha

So, my reread is reaping more benefits...

This, potentially, keeps Stan around for a Season 2 or sequel. I think I'll start a petition. Yeah... Stan survives, Della remains the Queen and MC is given a fiefdom when he earns it; making Tracy a Baroness! Right? Right?

I had forgotten just how HOT Rachael was for the big date! It's no wonder she is one of my favorites!

[QUOTE="LWtbo, post: 8598016, member: 43

Enjoyed reading your post, did I agree with everything, now exactly, but this makes the forums fun.

First of all, I have to admit that I'm not a huge Della fan. If Stan stayed around and Della mixed it up with the ladies I'd be perfectly fine.

Secondly, Tracy has always been my queen from the beginning. Even in my younger days I've always had a thing for the older ladies (OBD, Kat needs some good loving, let get to it ) . Now, I must admit Jess has done an awesome job (apple did not fall far from the tree with Jess).

Finally, you have to admit there is some awesome young talent that still needs to be explored and we might even be surprised on where the ride takes us. That's for OBD to determine.

Oh yea, one more thing OBD, if you read this post, for most of the pics posted by you, when I see leather pants, it's usually a lady filling them out nicely. NOT THE MC!

Looks great, but a tad uptight.

Rachel is the best main girl (sorry Jessy) I think the mains are Jess, Rachel and hacker girl.

She was amazing during the date, but Rachael is always hot. ALWAYS!

Yep... I totally dig Rai and Ashley and Willow and Katy (hacker girl) and Kat and, and, and...
When I first started playing this game I was totally enthralled with Tracey and resistant to Jessica. Jessy seemed to just want a way out of Kansas more than she was interested in MC but now... if you told me I had to choose only one girl in this game (not that I honestly think that will happen... hope not) if I had to pick only one... It is Jessy by a long ass country mile.

That said... I don't want to cut any of the girls and I still adore Tracey... In fact, the only one I'm NOT in love with is Barb! Barb needs to go right along with Bob. But, we'll get to ridding ourselves of those evil bastards in due time, I guess... Barb's daughter, Reba is a bit twisted but I still like her. I'm hoping that she will see through her mother's bull shit and come around to our side before too long. That would be a pleasant surprise...
If mama Della doesn't murder her first! Hahaha

The beauty with Jessy is her open attitude, willingness to try different things, her openness to having other girls in our relationship, her wit, her charm and obviously her rare beauty with a perfect bubble bum, perky pink nipples, tiny and flawless figure and her adorable face and smile.

Jessy and I (as the MC) are permanently joined together by both joy and tragedy and I do not take that kind of bond lightly. Jessy is the perfect ol'lady. Having her means I get to enjoy all of the other ladies too. How long do you think Rai would put up with the same thing? Maybe she would but not nearly as well as Jessy and I don't think Rai would recruit other girls to join in like Jessy does either.

We all have our favorites. I don't begrudge anyone else their favorite. We like who we like. Now, if one of you says you want Barb, I'll tell you to have your head examined. But, I won't stop you... (Just spare me those details, please!! What a hideous skank!!!) haha Anyway..... I've given it a great deal of thought and consideration. Jessy is my number one girl. She opened the door for me to have all these other ladies in a jealousy free environment. That is RARE!
So yes, I love Jessy.

Adventure ever on my friend, Phat

I agree wholeheartedly! Rai is hot and sweet,Tracy is my Queen, Katy and Kat need and deserve a love like MC, hell we could (and probably will) go on and on down to Juanita and Maria and the girls we have met but haven't bedded yet.

I think Reba HAS wised up about Barb but, just hasn't found her way out yet. Bob and Barb and all the corrupt politicians will get their due (it is a fantasy after all). Hehe, OBD, we're countin' on you!

All that said,you are right again, Obi-Wan. Jessy is special!

Ride on, PapaPhat. There's always another horizon.

 

[LWtbo]

Jessy Is nice and all but she's not Tracy and this is why I say Tracy.
Although I would never say Jessy aint special I'm just reminding you she's cut from the same cloth as Tracy .
For every good point you pointed out about Jessy her willingness, her openess even the fact she would recruite girls for you in a nutshell thats Tracy.
To paraphraze a well known song "Anything Jessy can do Tracy can do Better!".
This bit will sound wrong but I hope you understand its not.
With just one exception ontop off every thing jessy would and could do for you Tracy actually went one step further.
Because Tracy gave you permision to take her Daughter.

Just sayin

 

[Ragnar]

Yeah but Jessy will be always the MC main girl after they killed J.D together.Those kind of things are for life.

Ah but the exact same can be said for Tracy she would never leave the man who saved her beloved Daughter that shits never forgotten.
So Boo Yaa Tracy for the win .

Not the same for obvious reasons. Tracy wasn't part of the hit plus she's a mature woman that already has seen everything.
Meanwhile Jessy is starting to live somehow like the MC after years in the can.
MCxJess are like True Romance, Tracy is like Married...with Children
