After today, it will cost $19 more to attend the party and get admission for the entire weekend to Twitchcon itself than it is costing with the $299 bundle. I got mine day one day and am excited for everything in store for us that weekend!

I'm mainly asking so I will have an idea of when to check for any streamers I know doing meet and greets.

I got to thinking off and on about the story of Akka Arrh's rom making its way to MAME, and it's been debated on whether or not the tech was a hero to do what they did, assuming the stories we are hearing are true. My take on it is that the tech was a hero by doing what they did, because it led to Atari releasing the game on the Atari 50 collection for all platforms, which gave us all a legal way to play the game, whether we owned one of the three cabinets that exist or not. If anyone had the right to make it available, Atari did, and for all we know, they may either have not had the code anymore, or might not have thought to include the game in Atari 50 if it had not been leaked. To put it in perspective, Bubble Bobble came out 4 years after Akka Arrh was put out for play testing, and a mere 10 years after Bubble Bobble's release, Taito announced that they had lost its code, so it is possible for Atari to no longer have the code to Akka Arrh anymore, especially since it never got released, and if that's the case, then the tech who leaked the rom would be the reason the game is legally available to play today. Even the other ultra rate games on the collection, like I, Robot and Cloak & Dagger, are much more easily found than Akka Arrh, which has a total of 3 units in existence, so I for one am grateful that the tech put the rom out there all those years ago. What are your thoughts on it?

I started attending the church I am now a member of last year, and I feel like ths pastor feeds us very well spritually. Lately, however, some of the pastor's habits have not been sitting well with me, and when I shared them with a friend who I shared some of my pastor's sermons with, he said he got the same feeling, and didn't want to say anything because he was afraid it might cause friction between him and myself. I'm wondering how many people here see a potential problem like I do.

The first habit it something I first noticed maybe last year, but it's only now started to get to me. The pastor not only encourages people to react during his sermons, he expects it at times, and if no one calls out an amen after a certain sentence or point he was trying to make, he has asked the congregation, "Are we all right today?" Or he might say, "I was expecting a few more amens there." And more recently, he has said, "I'm just going to wait until I get an amen", and during his morning sermon this past Sunday, after finishing a sentence, the pastor said, "I'll amen that all I want", before calling amen multiple times. The pastor also once, a few months ago, brought up a person who left the church, without naming that person, and told us he asked that person why they were leaving, and then followed that up by saying he feels entitled to ask people who have decided to leave why they are leaving.

If any of the rest of you noticed that going on in your church, would you find it troubling? Does it seem like a petty reason for me to think I may need to find another church home? I do have one in mind if I decide to move on.

Christian spear = injury

Edge spear = hospital visit

Lashley spear = coma

Goldberg spear = R.I.P.

If we're going by that, then what does a gore from Rhyno equal?
