CowerAway |
sealed powerlords (and a few other things in same bunch) |

02:01

CowerAway |
just need sealed powerlords proto (probably does not exist) to have em all |
|
02:01

mistym |
And I understand the feeling. My desire to collect physical things has been going down a ton. The only thing that keeps me after Laseractive is my desire to get the games dumped. |

laseractive.. the megacd thing? |

Yep! Not just MegaCD though. It had no game console builtin, and there were two game modules. The other was Turbo Duo |

Hey, on a similar subject, I'm on the lookout for a certain CD-ROM. It's the Soundware collection from 1993, a CD with lots of PC-compatible sound files. |

Jaybird11 |
I had a copy, got it for my sixteenth birthday in 1994. I think I lost it in a move in 1998. |

Coderjoe: Yeah, it's a good way to get decent-quality copies of stuff that never got (may never get) a relase on DVD. |
|
02:12
๐

I've got a few things I've been meaning to get around to digitizing for that reason, though I love the obscurities more than the feature movies. |

I haven't even gotten around to WATCHING Human Highway yet, but I ought to. I'm sure someone else has already digitized it, anyway. |

Coming in late to this discussion, but I think what brought on ArchiveTeam was the AOL Hometown shutdown. |

Funny, I just reread SketchCow's two blog posts about that earlier today. In the second, he talks about how such a team might work. |

I need to tell a news source, who then "reports it", and then I can cite THAT |

but I can't just put my own info in there? |

Would it be amusing to have the 'nes source' cite that you have a wikipedia article to justfiy you having a wiki article? :D |

Ouch - you use "archive" as a verb. I can hear the axes grinding already |

If "archive" isn't a verb, what are you supposed to call it? |

Traditional archivists don't like to admit losing a semantic battle. |

underscor: you can publish the details on your own website / press release, and then cite that |

the key is just to have *something* citeable so that you can tell if everything was made up by random wikipedia editor x or not |

oh nice, that's a long list of citations |

If you want to go all-out, you could use that Sham Conference list (the ones that accept *anything*), have a poster presentation |
|
22:54

|
shaqfu |
And cite yourself via that |
|
22:55
๐
|
DFJustin |
sure and then someone can cite a scientific body to the effect that it's a sham conference |
|
22:55

shaqfu |
Yeah, but that's a lot of work for a citation |

DFJustin |
in the narrow case of an article about your own company, your own website would constitute an acceptable source (although third party is better), now if you put some stuff on your site about quantum chromodynamics and then try to cite that in a physics article it's bad |
