Even if I could find and legitimately purchase this thing, I don't even know what an LP player looks like.

Today's "make everyone feel old post" is brought to you by Johnboy3434. ;-)

He doesn't? That poor kid...

Anyone have/remember the old A/B cable?  Growing up I remember the channels were 1-22A and 1-22B, and there was a little black switchbox hooked to the cable box you'd have to flip.

 Yep.  I used to have that for my NES for years!

Anyway, quick question.  So, yeah, I'm in the middle of making a new video, and I need some help.  Um, when you download a font, how do you actually... use it?

Windows? Right click the file, and hit install. It should copy/paste into your fonts folder. Alternatively you can go to control panel in classic view and copy/paste the font yourself into the fonts directory.

Speaking of NES, my toploader Nesie (or if you want to be lame and not name your consoles, the NES 2) is probably going to retire. It only uses RF cables, and all three of the ones I have (1 original, 1 bought to replace, and 1 with the second NES I bought after breaking the first trying to take it apart) give me excessive interference. TV, I don't mind static - but with Nesie it's horribly excessive and only highlighted by our nice big TV. I hate those wavy lines SO much!

Thanks, bkev, although I'd already found the answer through Googling.  But, for some reason, it's still not working.  When I tried to try it out in Word, it said there was insufficient memory or disc space.  But more specifically, how do I use it for other programs, say image manipulation or editing software instead of word processing?

Nevermind.  I got it to work.  Thanks for all of your help.  For some reason, this font refuses to work in some places (like my editing software... it shows up as a blanks space on the font list and then refuses to type), but I was able to import it from paint.net as an image.  Anyway, should have a new video up in a couple of hours.

I love paint.net! Woohoo. Also, CP, I don't know if I'm gonna replace her - rather, I think she'll be in storage for awhile. It's clearly an issue with the RF adapter/jack piece more than anything else - sure, the carts are a tiny bit loose in my toploader (they work better if I find something that shoves them forward), but nothing else is wrong. I may invest in sending it off somewhere to mod it for A/V for $50 or so.

Also, I don't recommend a 2-in-1 mainly because of the sound issues. I could NEVER play Super Mario Bros. the way the sound is output on a NES-on-a-chip.

I know.  That's why I've been using it ever since you recommended it to me. =P

Huh... if people listen to my recommendations, maybe I really am respected!

Ok guys. Despite my reservations about the music library mentioned before, I've decided I will be attending the University of San Diego. GO TOREROS! It's a little bittersweet that I won't be going to the east coast to live closer to my family, but I know I'll love it either way. Just a little upset, because I don't really feel like this is the chance to start over I wanted. Then again, I always doubt myself when I actually make a decision.

Meh, there's no school spirit there anyways. That makes no difference to me :P

When I heard USD I immediately thought of this.

 Funny... I thought of this: $$$$$$$$$.
