Last week (right after my 19th B'Day) my parents spent it on the PSP (along with Gran Turismo PSP) and I bought myself Burnout Legends.

Wow, Guardian Heroes, that's an awesome game. It's pretty hard to find in English or Japanese. I keep hoping I'll run into a neglected copy in some unknown corner of a recycle shop. I'm sure I will some day.

You got that book at a really low price. The book has been out of print for nearly 9 years now. I can't find it for under 5,999 yen on Amazon.co.jp. So I can understand how some people think that they could get away with marking it up so high as an import.

I'm gonna look for a used copy of that book for my coffee table collection. I have a few local book stores that I think may have a copy closer to what you paid.

I just did the opposite of buying a Sega arcade machine book and bought the complete series of Sonic Underground.
(http://http://img709.imageshack.us/img709/4559/picture3gt.png)
YES, it is a shitty show, but as a Sonic fan I would have bought it eventually. Besides, the Knuckles episodes are decent. I already had all the available Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog DVDs as well as the SatAM show.... might as well complete the collection of non-Japanese Sonic cartoons...

[youtube:2yqmgbms]2rDMZdjx3d8[/youtube:2yqmgbms]

They were only $14 each...

In December I watched every episode of Sonic Underground... I hate how it ended... I remember thinking that there were rumours of unreleased episodes... it seems that was a lie ....

stupid .... just like the cake.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on February 15, 2010, 03:23:14 pm
Sonic Underground was the one that felt like a fanfic of a fanfic combined with a Hanna-Barbera cartoon. Really awful stuff. And yet, I must own it and watch every episode.

@Snowcat - you crazy, dawg.

Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Sega Uranus on February 15, 2010, 04:03:00 pm
Sean Connery voiced Knuckles father or grandfather or mentor or something, so I think that is reason enough to own it.

Still, all things considered, may God have mercy on your soul.

Guardian Heroes is rare? I had no idea. I thought the most valuable game in my Saturn collection (Before I got Dragon Force, Panzer Dragoon Saga and SFIII Trilogy) would have been Burning Rangers or Shining Force III. I thought GH was quite common for some reason.

Oh well, as you said, top game, one of my faves on Saturn.

I love the IT crowd, I only have the first two seasons on DVD though, channel 4's catch up service has all three seasons on it for free.

Does the third season have the episode where they pretend to be real men in a bar?

I bought some bongela for a mouth ulcer, a ready meal curry (that I had to try and improvise cooking the rice as I don't own a microwave) and a bottle of juice.

nothing interesting.

It sure does. I think it's the first or second episode of the season. I'm on the one where Jen has to do a speech about computers, because she's won employee of the month.

Not the last thing I spent money on, but the most interesting recent thing I recieved that I spent money on is this:

(http://http://mp4nation.net/blog/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/gpwiz.jpg)

Really awesome little handheld, I only got it last night, but I've already got Mega Drive roms working perfectly on it, Master System, Super Nintendo, Neo Geo, Arcade and even some old PC Adventure games! The Adventure games use the touch-screen in place of the mouse, which is really cool. So far Sam and Max Hit the Road and Monkey Island 2 work perfectly!

The only trouble I've had is with some Arcade and Neo Geo roms, but that's the same as it would be on PC.

I also tried playing a movie on it, but it didn't really work well, so I may have to update codecs or something like that.

hmmm, I could just get the megadrive collection for the psp (although I wouldn't be able to play mastersystem games on it though), does it have an 3d games like n64 or ps1?

I bought Banjo Kazooie Nuts and Bolts for £5 off amazon used.
I don't really want it I just need to send something to my new apartment to see if it arrives okay.

I suppose I could have just mailed a dvd case to myself but I might enjoy it.

The music is slightly remixed versions of JSR tunes. Humming the Bassline is my favorite.

Jet Set Radio on GBA sucks IMO, but I guess I am not a big fan of the entire franchise. Chu Chu Rocket however is amazing... Not only does it have like 100x the content over the Dreamcast version, you can also make your own characters and you only need one copy of the game to play with three other people. Absolutely outstanding handheld game. No idea why it never came to DS or PSP. It seems so obvious...

I have to recommend that you pick up Gunstar Super Heroes, Super Monkey Ball Jr and Wario Ware Twisted, you need to! Absolutely fantastic replay value on them.

 :arrow: On topic: Orange juice!
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on February 21, 2010, 08:54:34 pm
Nice! I saw Gunstar Super Heroes at the shop I bought the GBA at, so I'll have to pick it up when I go back. I wasn't sure what it was. I thought it was a shoddy port of the original game.

JSR for GBA isn't the best interpretation of the game, but it is far from sucking. I was actually quite surprised with how well a non-Sega dev studio created a game that stuck closely to the Dreamcast level design, plot and character roster as well as included some great JSR remixes. The levels are huge and it includes multiplayer.

Chu Chu for GBA is simply awesome.

Five volumes of 'The Boys' by Garth Ennis.
'Name of the Game'
'Get Some'
'Good for the Soul'
'We Gotta go Now'
'Herogasm'

Not his finest work (not a patch on Preacher or his work on Punisher from what I've read so far), but it's still very entertaining and funny.

Just managed to preorder the ps3 version of Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing for £29 with free delivery.

I saw Ponyo week of release on a Saturday morning. The theater was filled with kiddies, and being a 25 year old sitting alone in a theater I fely waaaay out of place. Trailers rolled, kids were fucking noisy. Movie starts, kids are nearly quiet the whole way through, only laughing and gasping when expected. They loved it and actually WATCHED the thing like any adult would do. The magic of Miyazaki is universal.

^Awwwwwwwww shieeeet what an awesome game!

I really don't know much about it, but I heard it's supposed to be a pretty solid Dreamcast game.  That brings me up to 72 DC games.  There really aren't a whole lot of other ones that I feel that I really need to own, but a few that I'm interested in picking up.

Hells yeah! Dynamite Cop rules! I imported Dynamite Deka 2 (the JP version) in September. It arrived on 9-9-09 along with Cool Cool Toon.

Tranquilizer Gun was an awesome bonus. Sort of makes me wish that every Dreamcast game included an obscure 80's Sega arcade game.  :afroman:

I just bought Ponyo (DVD) and it looks beautiful on our 42" tv. The 360 does a great job presenting DVDs, really crisp with strong colors.

Now I'm on a Studio Ghibli kick. Gonna have to rewatch Grave of the Fireflies and Princess Mononoke.

My girlfriend just picked up Castle in the Sky after I lent her Spirited Away, so I'm pretty sure we'll be watching it sometime soon.

While on a study trip in Vietnam, I bought a Miyazaki mega-set from the back of a clothing store (clearly a front for shady operations, as they had a "secret" room that looked to be growing... something). It came with all the great movies plus a lot of the obscure ones and the complete series of Future Boy Conan.

I feel bad for supporting Vietnamese pirates, so I'll be buying a legit version of Totoro soon. Kiki on the other hand... not my thing.

Bought "Babe: Pig in the City" to bump my purchase of "Up" to free shipping at Amazon.com

And get this, Barry the supposed "Blu-Ray Hater" bought the 4-disc Blu-Ray + DVD combo of the movie.  :shock: Well, it was $5 cheaper than the 2-disc DVD and includes those exact same 2 discs in the combo. Way I see it, I'll watch the hell out of the DVD and will utilize the Blu-Ray when I get a player. Star Wars on Blu-Ray will be the moment I buy into it. ;) Until then, DVD gets the job done.

I no longer have a CRT monitor/tv but I don't care. I bought a copy of House of the Dead and Virtua Cop for Sega Saturn for a measly 50 yen a piece.

I found a couple of official black stunners for 400 yen each but I really didn't want to buy them because they were scuffed up pretty bad.

When I move in a couple of months to a newer, bigger apartment I'll consider looking for a cheap tv that can handle at  480p so I can play older systems on it exclusively. I really wish there was a way to play lightgun games on an LCD TV but the technologies are completely different.

I love the Sony Wega CRT TVs. I have one in my computer/game room:

Most TVs like that are still in people's houses so it's really hard to find them out in the recycle market. It's not impossible, it's just not as common to find anymore. I usually come across crap sets that I'd prefer not to decorate my house with. If I can find a decent phillips, sony, or toshiba set out in the wild, I may snatch it up if I can justify it.

My second hurdle will be justifying purchasing a tube set to my fiance and soon to be wife. She's cool with my game hobby/collection but she also keeps my spending in check.

You'll all be the first to know if I pick up a tube or a crt monitor sometime later this spring/summer. Till then, I'll just have to make do with controller setup only.

During my usual weekend scouring of local recycle shops in my area I came accross some unusual finds.

I found the original Japanese movie programs for Ghost Busters 1 and 2 for real low cheap. 100 for GB1 and 399 for GB2. I'm not sure why the second one cost more but I'm happy never the less.

First CD I bought was the Dick Tracy Soundtrack as I was a big fan of Danny Elfman's score. Technically, though, the first CD I bought was the Disc Tracy Madonna "music from and inspired by" album. When I realized that it was the wrong album, I went right back to the store and bought the "orchestral score" as well. Didn't return Madonna. What can I say, I liked this song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Poho0LpJFuw (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Poho0LpJFuw)

100 yen each in box. The boxes were in fair condition but the guns seemed like they were barely used. I'm so stoked. I don't know if I will turn around and sell them for a little profit or not though.

Hot guns! I bought VC2 a few weeks ago. My Saturn Stunners needed a friend.

I just picked up the third issue of the Official Dreamcast Magazine (US), demo disc included:

(http://http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5501/picture1440.jpg)

Yeah, so it set me back $20, but a demo disc and magazine bought separately from each other would cost the same with shipping. Plus, the purchase completed my collection of the numbered issues (1 through 12, plus 11 demo discs). Now I just need to get issue 0. Some fucker on ebay sniped it from me. Those goddamn sniping programs should be banned.

There is nothing unfair with Snipers, I don't like them much either, but they can only beat you if they legitimately pay more than you are willing to. Just put your maximum bid to your 'real' maximum rather than a bargain price and you won't have problems. If they beat then, then they were always willing to pay more, but if not, then it's still yours.

Speaking of Magazines, I would like to one day get the full Official Sega Saturn Magazine collection. I have just about all of them from Issue 16, where I started collecting, missing the issue that came with the PDS demo disc. I have no idea if it never made it to Aus, or just got sold out immediately, because I could never find it new.

I still think SSM is the best Video Game magazine I've ever read, used to love their reviews and massive 6 page showcases for new games.

I had no idea those magazines would be worth all that much now. I got all of them when they first came out, but sold them all off for just one game ages ago. ASSSSSSSSSSSS

Also, I bought chocolate bunnies for my chocolate bunny.

[spoiler:l3xhaw9t]April Foolz![/spoiler:l3xhaw9t]

Seriously though, if we're talkin' demo discs, the BEST Dreamcast Magazine demo discs were Volume 8 (Jet Grind Radio with alternate Professor K intro, Ecco demo and Shenmue video), Volume 9 (full exclusive tank game Super Boom Tread Troopers) and Volume 10 (exclusive Toy Commander Holiday Mission). Sega Swirl was also awesome and was on just about every disc.

I can't remmeber if I threw out all my old Official DC Magazines before I moved out a few years back. I hope I didn't in retrospect, I hope I boxed them and left them with in my mother's storage garage with the rest of the stuff I couldn't take with me to Japan. ;_;

The Ryo Hazuki forklift is such a massive, massive ripoff, but I bought it without even thinking about it.

I then got a big steak and cheese sub. Have not had one in a long time, a true man's meal.

I also picked up some "GT Cola" to go with it. I know it was a huge risk to get a no-name brand like that, but it is actually pretty good! I am impressed.

After visiting VideoGamesNewYork and being a smart shopper, I left with only Headhunter for the Dreamcast ($25, near mint) and Sonic Riders for the XBOX ($9). They had TONS of games, but so many were either (A) in too poor of condition or (B) too expensive. It's a great store, sure, but if a shop has over 500 Dreamcast games with most of them being multiples of the same game, wouldn't you lower the price to promote impulse buys? NFL2K is NOT worth $10, especially if you have over two dozen. Used normal VMUs with no caps were $10 while third party used lightguns were $50-$60!

I also have an ebay auction that I have my eyes (and wallet) on.

I fought for and won a Dreamcast lot of Bangai-O (disc only), The Record of Lodoss War (comes with booklet and backcase art), Sonic Adventure (disc only, I already have it anyway), Tech Romancer (comes with booklet and backcase art), Soul Reaver (comes with booklet and backcase art, also already have it).

Total cost: $39
(http://http://img9.imageshack.us/img9/4549/picture2uu.png)

Considering Bangai-O alone sells for $30 disc only, I'd say I got a helluva deal. Sure the cases aren't included for Lodoss War and Tech Romancer, but they can be replaced with the cases of lesser games.

It's the only other 'Shenmue' figure available aside from the forklift and a little Shenhua keychain. It's about 7 inches high and was a promo giveaway (sound familiar?). It was produced in 1998, so before the game was even released.

Are you upset that the game is too hard for you or something? No need to be rude to me. I've never heard the term 'Goth Flick kids'.

Anyway, I think you just fucking suck at the game [/Sega All Stars racing attitude]

Seriously though, from memory they would mostly be using infantry in the early fights. If you have Fire Barons or Metal Beasts use them to take them out, if not then just use mostly Razor Girls with some Headbangers for protection, and use Battle Cry and Facemelter as often as you can. It would help if you can tell me which fight this one is specifically, is it in the Dry Ice mines?

OK, it worked.

Basically what I did, was take over the first few fanbooths, upgrade to level III stage. Got the 'Roadies', double teamed with him, then set the rally point in the front of the stage and let her army attack it (making new headbangers over and over) while I sneaked on the top of the roadies back and hit her stage.

Easier done than said ;3.

Yeah, the closest equivalent I can think of is Kingdom Under Fire series, where you control a large army but the main character is almost equally important.

The single player also has one of the best open-worlds I've ever played with some brilliant heavy metal inspired landscapes and lots of stuff to do and find.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: George on May 03, 2010, 11:26:57 am
The side missions are a bit shit, the open world is OK, just has stupid borders and the car is floaty. The voice acting is top notch, story is pretty good. I rather have more action and less RTS feel, cus I feel helpless sometimes when I lose.

Regardless, Its a solid B game, not quite A. Now I will teach you of French kissing.

I won Ecco the Dolphin: Defender of the Future for Dreamcast off of eBay. Brings the Dreamcast collection up to 72 games I think.

I also spent about 60 bucks on a new hard drive.  A friend of mine had her hard drive die, and she used it as an excuse to get a new laptop. She gave me the old computer (much newer than what I had) for free. All I had to do was pick up a new hard drive.  When another friend of mine found out about this, he gave me his old video card (again, much newer than I had).  So I've gone from a computer capable of playing Warcraft II, to a computer capable of playing Left 4 Dead 2 for the tune of 60 bucks.

With all this newfound computing power, what do I do?
I downloaded Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.
Then picked up Plants vs. Zombies and the first Splinter Cell, because I've never played a Splinter Cell game before.

Left 4 Dead 2, played a game with 2 friends last night and I'm still not sure about it, my Friend Sam kept disconnecting and I could hardly hear him on my headset.

I keep saying that I'm done, but then I figure that (insert game name here) looks pretty interesting. Might as well check it out.
I've tried to go with quality over quantity, but there's a lot of quality on the Dreamcast.

Post by: Barry the Nomad on May 05, 2010, 05:23:40 pm
One boring day I actually added up the metacritic score of every Dreamcast game I owned at the time (around 70 of 'em) and found the average score of my collection. I was surprised that I got a 8/10. A testament to the quality of the Dreamcast's library.

I bought a few shitty titles since then for a laugh, so that average may have slid.

With all this newfound computing power, what do I do?
I downloaded Star Wars Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II.
Then picked up Plants vs. Zombies and the first Splinter Cell, because I've never played a Splinter Cell game before.

Ohhh PC game reccomendations?

First of all, nice move with Splinter Cell, I love that series. Not sure how they play on PC but I imagine it's quite good.

As for games if you really NEED to play:
* Deus Ex: Up there with Shenmue as one of the single most amazing games I've ever played.
* Half-Life: Probably the best FPS ever made.
* Age of Empires II + Conquerers Expansion: My favourite RTS of all time (your old computer could probably play this too though)
* Total War: Any of the games are amazing
*Grim Fandango: All time favourite Adventure game.

You've probably played a lot of these, or some worked on your old PC, but if not I think you would like them.

Also, if you want free stuff:
Grand Theft Auto 1 & 2:

Command and Conquer: Tiberian Dawn

Thanks for all the reccomendations.  
Speaking as a console gamer, with  a pretty limited experience when it comes to PC games, Splinter Cell is pretty obviously designed to be played with a controller.  It's a pretty slow paced game so far, so it hasn't been a huge issue, but I'm thinking that I'll invest in one of those 360 controllers for the PC.

I've already picked up the first Half Life, but haven't put too much time into it yet.  I'll have to check out Deus Ex.

The PC games I've already got kicking around prior to this were GTA, GTA2, GTA: London, GTA3, Driver, and Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition.

I played a little bit of Tiberian Sun back in the day, so I might check out those, and the Total War games too. Which Total War game would you reccomend the most?

I really want to play Grim Fandango, but it's not on Steam.  Know any legal way to get ahold of it?

Yeah I've only ever played Splinter Cell on Xbox/360 and I couldn't imagine it without analogue sticks for creeping/movement. Then again I had a friend who had it on PC and said using the mouse-wheel to creep/open doors etc was okay, but I would still try to get a wired 360 pad which you can then use on PC.

I think you'll really like Half-Life when you get a chance to get into it. Try to set aside some time to sink your teeth into it, it's really a great game. The expansion/spin-off of Half-Life: Opposing Force is really good too if you like the first one and want more of the same when you're done!

For Total War games, they are all really good. It's sometimes hard to go back to an older one since you might miss some new features, but if you're just starting out then I think you might as well choose whichever era you are interested most in. I haven't played Shogun or Medieval 1 yet, but from the newer releases (That will definitely work on your PC) you can go with Rome Total War, Medieval 2 Total War and Empires Total War.
Come to think of it, Rome or Medieval 2 might be best, since they are a bit easier to learn than Empires IMO. So if you like Legions and Phalanxes go with Rome, if you like Knights and Longbows, go with Medieval  :afroman:

Finally, for Grim Fandango, I know that LucasArts recently did a re-release of many of their games optimised for new computers. They come on DVD and can be run without installations I believe.
Here this is the version I meant:
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GRIM-FANDANGO-PC ... 255a4bbdd7 (http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GRIM-FANDANGO-PC-GAME-/160428703191?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_PC_Video_Games_Video_Games_JS&hash=item255a4bbdd7)

Althoug thats quite expensive, I only paid $10 Australian for the same copy a few years back. Check out your local shops, they might have a copy, if not take a look on eBay/Amazon etc for some more reasonable priced copies. It's well worth tracking down though, it's a really fantastic game, and only on PC.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: SOUP on May 06, 2010, 08:50:51 am
Thanks. I'll probably check out the Medieval one first then.

The only 360 pad for PC that I've found in town so far is the wireless one (comes with a little usb receiver), and it's way over priced at 90 bucks.  So it's looking like amazon for the wired one.

I'll keep an eye out for Grim Fandango on ebay I guess. Do you know if there is any region protection on PC games at all?
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: MadeManG74 on May 06, 2010, 06:52:33 pm
You can get wired 360 pads from China/Hong Kong on eBay for about $30 AU. I used those to make my arcade sticks and they work perfectly fine, they are very very good knock-offs.

I'm pretty sure PC doesn't have region protection, so you should be fine getting a game from overseas.

Finally, and I can't believe I forgot this one, you should try Mafia if you get a chance, especialyl before the sequel comes out later this year. It's another of my favourite games.

I'll have to keep an eye out for it.
I ordered a wired xbox controller off amazon for 40 bucks. Should be here in a week or so.

I don't think so. I remember reading about it a while ago they were determined not to use DRM and have the simplicity/fairness of downloading and playing the games as their main selling point over other services.

I've known people who used it and loved it.

I use it. No catches. You can give out the games if you want, no restrictions and they code them to play on new Windows vers.

Also, it is ran by the guys from CD Projekt, who did The Witcher. Another game you should play.

Thanks for the heads up on Good old Games.
I haven't put too much time into Splinter Cell (waiting for that gamepad to arrive), but I'm liking it so far.  It seems a bit more linear than the MGS titles that I've played lately, but I like how the lighting effects are used to cover you up.

I picked up Civilization IV for 5 bucks off of steam, so I'll check that out at some point too. Again, never played one of these games either.

I've not been in the game buying mood, I have too many games to catch up on as it is, but I have been in the comics buying mood! I've been filling in the holes of my Simpsons Comics collection. Specifically Radioactive Man and Bartman comics. I'm one away from having them all! There are roughly 40 issues featuring Radioactive Man and Bartman.

The satire of comics history is hilarious:

I was always interested in it, mainly because it was one of the few other CPS III games. Just not $90 interested.
It looks like it might be somewhat similar to Vampire Chronicle in atmosphere at least.  Don't know what the gameplay'll be like though.

Nice, I always wanted Jojo's.

I got TrueBlood season 2 on dvd and Red Dead Redemption on 360.

Oddly I was given a free 800 ms points card with RDR and an unlockable War horse (although it wasn't advertised anywhere!)

I also got the first episode of TrueBlood as a free seperate dvd for buying any HBO series.

I got a good haul today!
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: MadeManG74 on May 21, 2010, 04:32:08 pm
I got the War Horse but not the 800 Points, nice catch. I did get the Assassin outfit and Golden Guns (altough the guns aren't optional, you need to delete them to uninstall them... it looks silly having golden revolvers, but thankfully it's only 2 guns in the game). I also didn't use the War Horse for my first play, I'd rather play it through and have to upgrade/break horses. I've already broken a stallion as part of a mission and it's been my loyal horse since.

Also do I have you on my XBL Friends list?

I only buy TPBs, I couldn't hack waiting a month for 24 pages at a time. I used to download 100 Bullets when it was current and couldn't enjoy the comic when I had to wait so long in between chapters. I then read them all when the run was finished, much, much better.

I remember seeing the crazy people at comic book shops who would buy 10-15 issues a week, plunking down a couple hundred dollars each time just to keep up with Marvel superheros.

I usually just buy TPBs, but I don't have that many. I am, however, interested in getting All-Star Superman. Awesome self-contained mini-series that draws on 50's Superman visuals:

All-Star Superman is brilliant. It's the only Superman story I've read, but I loved it, great introduction and explanation of the character. Even haters like Aki-at would like it! (just fooling bro, you're alllright aki-at).

We need to make a comic book general thread soon, so I can harp on about 100 Bullets and stuff.

Nice! The only major difference between that and the US/UK is that the JP version had the Japanese cartridge artwork, right?

I gotta say, I love Sonic Jam. The ultimate re-release of the originals in my opinion. More than just ROMs, they actually have difficulties and enhancements that can be adjusted. Add in the fact that you get all the Japanese manuals, cover art from every region, tons of images, commercials, short cartoons, bios, 3D world... not to mention you can use the excellent Saturn pad and output in stereo and s-video. Awesome. Congrats!

I'm picking up RDR today! Sort of a gift to myself for my promotion. I'm thinking I'll go the Best Buy. Word on the net is that the pre-order war horse bonus is still included in some stock. Think I'll grab a copy from the back of the shelf and take my chances on some free DLC.

LOL Barry funny thing about Best Buy card, my friend was asking for a ride to Best Buy to get a PS3. So I said fine, took him and he did not activate the card. He was outside activating it for awhile and I asked what was wrong. He said 'the account number doesn't work'. So I went inside and told a very nice lady what was wrong, she called and did it. He just dialed the thing wrong on the pad. FFFFF

Also, they were out of PS3s. Worthless drive worthless.

I haven't seen to many series from the UK (due to the usually high costs of the DVD sets), but I've got the original Office, the IT Crowd, and Extras.  I really wish there was a way to got ahold of the UK Who's Line is it Anyway?.

I dropped by Futureshop this afternoon to grab a classic controller for the Wii.
I noticed that they had Eye of Judgement in the clearance bin.  Now, I really have no interest in the game, but it does come with the Playstation Eye, which will be nessecary for the Move.
The game and the PS Eye in the bundle were $20.  The Playstation Eye by itself goes for $40, so I jumped all over that one.
Now, I'll just need to get the wand controller when it comes out so I can play some more Time Crisis :D

I did the same thing a while back.  Don't let your curiosity get the best of you and try out the game like I did.  After about 6 hours of updates, the game is terrible, and the tutorials are stupid videos with teenagers, so you forget how to play when you finally try it.

I just got the new Mac Mini with an HDMI port on the back.  It will replace the Apple TV.

I liked the first movie, was so-so on the second, hated the third and tolerated/liked bits of the animatrix (the Gainax one was the best). I figure $9.50 for a packed DVD set is a good deal, especially when it has all the behind the scenes stuff.

I agree.  I bought that collection on Blu-Ray also.  I'm one of the few people that likes the whole trilogy.  I think the problrm people have is they want each sequel to be like the first movie.  The more they deviate from the first Matrix, the more they hate it.

I'm definitely one of those people. One of the things I liked the most about the first one, was just how much of it was done with practicle effects.  The lobby scene barely had any CGI in it.

What I didn't like was the way that the series slowly got more and more centered around 'Magic Kung Fu' rather than guns and more realistic stuff. I understand that guns became pointless, but when I started seeing Neo and Agent Smith just flying around like Superman into eachother it was just like 'Fuck this'.

Also, everyone was Asian in the last few, they just went overboard with their love of Japan/Asia I think.

With you on that. The first film established this awesome idea that Neo could transcend and manipulate reality, and seeing him learn how to do it and use it to his advantage was cool. Next two movies had his Matrix manipulating skills jump from 1 to 1,000,000. He basically became Superman. I would have rather seen manipulation of the Matrix evolve into the trippy visuals of that new movie INCEPTION, and Neo wouldn't hit Superman skills until the final act of the third movie. Also, the Japan love got annoying. Reminded me of this white kid in my high school who wanted to grow up to be a Japanese man. So sad... what's the term for those types of kids?

Exactly. I don't have a problem with Superman or Superman-level powers, but if you're going to give someone those powers then let him use them in a spectacular way rather than just slamming into Hugo Weaving a million times. Like in Dark Knight Returns when  SPOILERS

Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Hanyou on July 04, 2010, 09:53:13 am
You know, I never much liked even the first Matrix.  The acting was subpar and the characters were awful--not to mention that it was pretentious as hell.  I get the feeling that it was just so popular because of the special effects and action.  "Dark City" approached a similar premise from a more character-focused angle, and got none of the praise, in spite of being a much better film.

Did anyone honestly sympathize with Neo, Trinity, and the gang, or feel like they were anything more than cardboard cutouts?  Hell, the Star Wars prequels had better character development.  Morpheus would have been kind of cool as the mentor character if everyone else didn't act exactly like him.  Ideas and action do not a good film make--and I'm even okay with obscure films (see David Lynch), but they need to strive to make a connection with the audience that doesn't involve talking down to them or giving them a laser show.  Inland Empire, for example, was a brilliant visual feast, and the visuals were indispensible, but the characters were also plausible and well-acted.  Not so with The Matrix, which seems to lack the real substance of filmmaking.

Ironically, my attitude toward the first film allowed me to enjoy the second and third film more than most people, since I didn't think it was all that different.  They were ridiculous, but fun to watch in a theater with friends.  I wasn't expecting a masterpiece.

Anyway, the last thing I spent money on was a Netflix subscription, which may be the best decision I have ever made.  I've had Sweeny Todd mailed to my house.  Good movie (though I suppose I've now had my own taste called into question...).
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Monkeroony on July 04, 2010, 03:58:05 pm
Sweeny Todd isn't a bad film. I think it's more of an opera than a musical though.

Sasha baron Cohens parts are the best bits in the film.

Transporter 2.

I didn't like it quite as much as the first one.  I think they tried to do a bit too much, and it ended up losing it's focus a bit.  That said, there were some solid fight scenes.

I also sat a few friends down to watch Red Cliff. I love that movie :D

I'll have to pick that up on DVD soon.

This book is obviously about Salvador Dali, my favorite painter. I'll be reading this with a glass of tawny porto on the hand with Chopin playing at mood volume, just for the sake of being pretentious.

A retro games store opened in  my hood, so I checked it out. Good amount of Genesis and master system games, reasonable amount of Dreamcast games and a small amount of CD and Saturn games. Prices are equitable to ebay, though nothing was stickered with prices yet as the store just opened. I picked up Toy Commander for $9 and decided to wait a week until they get their stuff in order.

Next visit I hope to get a Genesis lightgun, Tony Hawk 1&2 for the DC and perhaps an odd 32X game.

Overall, it's a great resource for the occasional game. Not the holy grail by any means, but still cool.

Won Marvel vs. Capcom 2 (JP version) and DOA2 (US version) for $14 total.

I have some doubts about MvsC 2's japanese version.

You'll need some 'v-points' and 'n-points' to unlock some of the secret characthers. But I heard it's impossible to get those 'special points' nowdays.

So, I ask you:

1) Why did you buy the japanese version of the game?
2) Are you planning to use 'gameshark' or 'codebreaker' in it?
3) Is it possible to load a 'save data' from an american version of the game into this japanese version?

Speaking of Mahvel Baybee, how come we haven't played any of that/VF5 recently? I was talking to Aki-at about VF5 and now I'm jonesing to play that again.

1) last minute impulse ebay win, got it for $5. Already have the "US version" on XBLA. Japanese Dreamcast games rule (full color booklets).
2) I'll bet I could! I do have the DC GameShark
3) In most cases, no. I don't even think Jet Set Radio (JP) can use graffiti tags from Jet Grind Radio (US)

DUDE! You're right! I blame the heat. I'll be on LIVE this weekend for sure, not sure when yet, but we shall spar soon! They should have some sort of "play date" feature on XBLA that forces you into a planned game no matter what other game or app you're using.  8-)

I know that you can for some games for sure.  Sonic Adventure 2 for instance.
I downloaded a US version save to play the Green Hill Zone, and it works with my Japanese version disk.
My PAL and Japanese versions of Rez both read the same save data too.

Those are the only two I've actually tested out since I usually just get the one version of each game, and don't hook the Dreamcast up to the internet very often (it's a pain to get the network cable over to it, and I'm too cheap to set up some wireless bridge).

It's cool. But I'm really pissed off that you have to be connected to PSN to start the game. What's even worse is that they don't even warn you about it.
I'm disconnected most of the time, so I have to go through much work just to play the game.
I'm not buying anything from Capcom in a long time.

I mostly just use the iPod when I run, so I got a 16GB iPod nano.

The built in pedometer and fm radio would be a nice bonus towards the whole running thing.  It's got a different shape than my old one, so I'll have to get a new armband :-/

Welp! I bought a blu-ray player! It wasn't a PS3 (those from the "what ____ should I buy?" thread are booing me), but hear me out. It cost $100, list price $200, and is #2 in best players for under $200. It's a panasonic, just like my TV, so score one for the Viera link (http://panasonic.net/avc/viera/us2010/viera-link/ (http://panasonic.net/avc/viera/us2010/viera-link/)). Some reviews even stated it has the same tech as the high end players, but is $200 less as it does not include wi-fi. No biggie, wired connection is a piece of cake.

I'm excited! Also picked up blu-rays of The Dark Knight, Terminator 2 & Salvation, Complete Wallace & Gromit and Clone Wars season 1. Total cost = $180, player and cables included. Saves me $110 compared to the PS3, and I won't feel pressured to buy a load of PS3 games. Trust me, I'd go poor buying PS3 games would I have the system. I blame by inability to stop spending. :P

Aw well, it's all freelance money! Wahahahaha!

My boo to you, Mr Barry. How much did you pay for the HDMI cable? I hope it wasn't much, all of them do the trick the exact same way.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on July 30, 2010, 07:25:49 am
$3 for the HDMI cable. ;)

I tell ya, the PS3 was tempting, but the idea of buying into a whole 'nother console and buying a whole new batch of games and getting into a whole 'nother online community was too daunting. I know me, and if I bought the PS3 now, I would have bought every game I couldn't play on the 360. Problem is, I have yet to finish 90% of the games I have for the 360. When The Last Guardian and (hopefully) Yakuza 1&2 HD arrive, then I'll enter the PS3 world. Til then, I'm loving the idea of having a video input solely dedicated to DVDs and Blu-rays. No changing the picture settings every time from Game to Cinema and no pop up windows of friends while I'm trying to watch Sex in the City 2 in HD.

As they say, this is the best Android phone right now..
Still there are some things you just have to live with. For example, you only get mail notifications after running the email app. You have to get an app-killer to effectively close running apps. The contacts list sometimes is all over the place with email addresses mixed with phone numbers, it took me a while to link every contact to their emails and such.

Still, these are all small Android issues. They aren't related to the phone nor are they deal-breaking. It all runs great. Sometimes it slows down a bit but they say Android 2.2 fixes that, an update is due next 3 months or something.

Android still has some room for improvement, but it's the best. 2.1 is almost up to par with the iPhone. I think this phone is a great buy.

I like the EVO 4G, especially considering my town has 4G coverage. But I don't pay for my cell phone due to being on a family plan. Only reason I'm with ATT..

You should also know that, from what I read, the Evo 4G is a wonderful piece of portable technology but has a horrible battery life. Maybe it's not as clamorous as they make it, but it wouldn't surprise me.

Also, if the rumors are true, the Galaxy S will support Android 3.0 when it comes out later this year/early next year.

Well give me feedback on how your liking it. I think ill call for a early upgrade and see if I can do it. I hate my phone.

EVO 4G no longer the only 4G (or the best). Sprint's version of Galaxy S beat it, according to gizmodo. Also the best Galaxy S phone on the market, has a keyboard (and 4G).

I just read that article and quite frankly I wouldn't choose the Epic over my Galaxy. It's very heavy, way thicker and the battery life doesn't last a day. On the other hand: keyboard, flash camera and 4G. Some people may prefer it..

I'll try it out for a couple more days to give you a more informative opinion on software and stuff.
But as for the hardware and the first experiences so far it's great. Really great.
It's quite big. Feels very good on the hand but quite large in your pocket. I don't mind though cause I use my jacket's inner pocket most of times.
The battery seems to last about a day and half of normal use (one hour or two of games, a couple of calls, some texts and emails, checking some news on the internet).
There are a lot of apps. There are some really good ones, but most of it is crap. The market helps out by featuring the best apps.
The screen is gorgeous.

Yeah... you can.. but that's still a pain IMO =P

having windows take up precious HDD space on a laptop HDD.


Besides, who buys a laptop for gaming? =P  I know when I eventually get a laptop I won't be buying it with gaming in mind.  I would rather have long battery life and light weight.

No it's not, all operating systems suck big time. Some just suck slightly more than others. :lol: The computer isn't exactly fit to play games (it's the cheapest model) but I guess I'll be able to play The Orange Box that I have on Steam. I have the consoles to play the games. PC gaming is dead, everybody knows that. :afroman:

What a day to blow money.

I started with a full asian lunch where I pigged out on the sushi.
Then I bought Terminator Salvation 2 Disc Special DVD, which was on sale for dirt cheap in Jumbo.
Then I ordered Blazblue: Calamity Trigger for Xbox 360, also on the cheap.

But the biggest expense of the day was my collegue report to which I spent 30€ on a copy shop(which is also a DVD rental store) for 3 copies of the 33-page report. Damn it!

Wii Boxing is not a good example. Wii boxing was made in 2006 when the Wii technology was pretty new.

We have Motion Plus now and I'm pretty sure we could have a responsive boxing game.

You jumped the gun and got a bit defensive I think. Not a good example of what? I was just making a comparison that Wii Boxing was no-where near as responsive as the fight. I used that because it's something I and everyone else has experience with.

Wii Motion plus might make things better, but I wouldn't know since I don't have it, so I couldn't really make a comparison.

Actually it's TS1= 1 blu-ray, 1 dvd, 1 digital file disc, TS2= 1 blu-ray, 1 dvd, 1 digital file disc and TS3= 2 blu-ray, 1 dvd, 1 digital file disc

It's a lot of discs, but even if I bought the single releases I'd have to get the DVDs packaged with them. It looks like it's near impossible to buy a Disney blu-ray without getting a DVD. :P

Oh! My local used game store closed, so I went to the other location and turns out they got all the stock of the closed store! Not only that, but all the Dreamcast stuff was deep discounted.   :afroman:

Got all of the below for $35:

Both of those bands were at the Reading Festival I went to a few weeks ago, although I didn't see either of them- Minus the Bear were on at the same time as Weezer and I don't have nostalgia for Blink 182 so I decided to leave early before the Sunday night riots started.

Consider this a "next thing I spend money on":

Really considering stopping by Walmart this weekend to get the LOTR blu-rays for $15 each. I know they aren't the extended cuts, but waiting two years for those is too long (I assume they'll release with The Hobbit) plus the price is so low for HD versions of a solid trilogy.

Edit: hey, look at the ad I just saw on this page!

Bought the LOTR blu-rays. Walmart wasn't carrying it, but they had a sale price in their print ad, so a quick run to Target got me the Walmart price thanks to Target's price matching guarantee. The image quality on the films is awesome! The bonus disc is the DVD from the previous DVD release, but since I only have the extended dvd set, all the bonus stuff is new to me. Overall, it's a great companion to the extended box.

Also picked up Monsters Inc. on blu. Pixar movies always look awesome in HD.

Most of those ones left are pretty tough to get ahold of now. Powerstone 2, San Fransisco Rush 2049, Hydro Thunder, and F355 Challenge are all pretty scarce/expensive.

Bought Sonic 1 & 2 for $2 each via the App Store. Gonna have to compare Sonic 4 to something! So far they control alright, little bit of slowdown. I'm using a first gen iPod Touch, but that really shouldn't hinder emulation considering the thing can run Doom like a dream and plays a good number of 3D games with no problems.

The only way I can physically show them:

Is "The Simpsons" the old arcade game?
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on October 01, 2010, 12:57:11 pm
Simpsons is a different game, probably due to rights issues, but it's still a lot of fun. Plays a lot like Streets of Rage, lots of cool items and power-ups. Homer is the only playable character, but the family come in as the special power-ups. My favorite aspect to the game is that when Homer dies, you get a view of him lying on the floor and you swipe the screen to slap him back awake.

Sort of like The Simpsons arcade game, then, when you have to slap the family awake after their collective dream sequence.

After watching a video of the iPhone version, I can see that they tried to make it look like the classic arcade game (including an intro where Homer runs into Smithers causing something to fly up into the air), but it doesn't look like it's quite as much fun.

I read a review from Retro Gamer saying it wasn't as good, but it's probably still quite fun. Also it has that balloon mini-game.

The guy who made it also did Ecco the Dolphin. The overall quality is not the same, but I am certain you will be impressed with the controls. It controls exactly as to how you would expect a hummingbird to control. I know that sounds strange, but once I got my hands on it, it blew my mind.

Also the game is not "Extreme" like the cover implies. Still a neat game, I suppose. Tell me what you have on the 32X now, I will tell you if there is anything else you need!

-Virtua Racing Deluxe

Need:
-Tempo

Considering:
-After Burner
-Space Harrier
- Doom

Not sure if there are any other ones worth owning, though Night Trap SEGA CD 32X is on my list, just because you gotta own at least one CD 32X game.

You have most of the games that are all that good, and the majority of the ones left over are very cheap. Get all of the games you are considering too though. DOOM on the 32X was what got me into the game but only has the first episode in it, but that should be long enough for you. AfterBurner Complete and Space Harrier are pretty much the closest you could get to true ports of the arcade games at the time, so get them if you like the originals.

Not sure if you would like any, but the other fighting games like Cosmic Carnage, Brutal: Above the Claw and Mortal Kombat II are all at least interesting and very cheap. The last two are considered the best releases of those games at the time. Check out Blackthorne if you like 2D Prince of Persia-like games, and I would recommend Corpse Killer over Night Trap mainly because it is probably the funniest game I ever saw, but for all the obvious reasons.

If you want more "So bad it's funny" kind of games, be sure to check out Motocross Championship, which might be the worst game SEGA ever made.

EDIT: I forgot that X-Perts on the Genesis existed for a moment. That is indeed the worst SEGA game ever.

Sonic and Knux run around the watch face while the hour hand is a gold ring. Band has the S&K logo. Very cool item! I don't think it is even featured seen on SonicGear.org, and that site has everything!

Strange that yours wore out so fast, although I've used mine relatively sparingly it's still good as new with no signs of damage.

Have you considered getting a stick? You could probably find a relatively cheap one on Ebay somewhere. You gonna be playing KOF 2k2? I wonder if the netcode would be good enough for USA vs Australia play (I doubt it, but it should be better than 98)
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: fluffymoochicken on October 27, 2010, 05:24:15 am
Well, you also don't play Marvel as much as I do. That game really takes it out on a controller, trust me. It's not even just my D-Pad that's all worn out to hell, even my buttons are becoming less responsive from all the mashing that MvC2 requires. xD

I think I might get a stick in the spring, after I count what money I have left after my Disney World trip in the winter. It would certainly help with playing characters like Chun-Li.

As for KOF 2K2..... you test out the netcode first with other US players. If it works okay, I might get it to try out a Bao, Chris, and Benimaru team. (Oh, if only Ash were in that game... *sigh*)

I drank a lot of different pumpkin beers over the weekend, but this was THE mightiest purchase of the whole weekend. Gentlemen (and ladies), prepare yourself for THE PUMPPLE:

(http://http://img829.imageshack.us/img829/4315/34424528331278542821003.jpg)

An apple pie baked into a white cake, a pumpkin pie baked into a chocolate cake. The apple pie cake is placed above the chocolate pumpkin pie cake and the whole thing is covered in butter cream. One slice is $8 and feeds four people, calorie count is 1,500 a slice (375 a person). Whole cake is $75. Thing is as tall as a human head. So freakin' delicious.

Releases tomorrow, looks like it shipped this morning. I pre-ordered Toy Story 3 at the same time (about 2 months back), and that shipped Monday and is due tomorrow. So fingers crossed for Kinect on Saturday.

While I'm not super hyped for the launch titles, I'm am rather pumped to be buying a gaming device at launch. Last gaming system I bought on release was... the Dreamcast.

Classic Controller Pro for Wii. I did not like it at first, but I have gotten used to it. The L, ZL, R and ZR buttons feel really cheap though.

I mostly wanted to get it to mention how well/poorly all control setups work in my eventual Sonic Colors review, but I sometimes get stuff on the Virtua Console. The other day I also picked up Super Mario RPG on there. Very good game so far! Clever use of the Super Nintendo's controller layout.

Where I live the call quality is great, but it's a small town and our carriers are only AT&T, GCI and ACS.  When I travel I often have to turn off 3G.  Washington DC and Chicago were awful for calls until I turned the 3G off.  New Orleans was okay as soon as I got away from the Realtor conference (25,000 people in 1 building with smart phones).  

I love the speed now.  My 3G got too slow with the 4.0 and 4.1 updates, so it was too frustrating to use for work.

What did I get for Black Friday. Well sit down. Basically I went to get the 2tb external HDD for $69.99. When I got there it wasn't where it was suppose to be. All gone. Fag boxes. But, my cousin was there and he knew a Asian guy that works there. He showed us where they had the rest of them. Only 3 left. Got one.

Then I asked him about the Bluray box set for LOTR, since it was 7.99 and they are selling each separate movie for 7.99. He went in the back and got it for us. So big win.

Went to Gamestop and got 3 games in the buy 2 get 1 free sale. Darksiders, Prince of Persia: The Forgotten Sands and Demons Souls. Each was $17.99, so worked out PERFECTLY.

TDLR;

2tb Western Digital External drive: $69.99
Lord of the Rings trilogy Bluray: $7.99
Prince of Persia: Forgotten Sands: $17.99
Demon Souls: $17.99
Darksiders: FREE
Edge card: 10% off

I was browsing GameStop.com and found that Just Cause 2 was supposedly $17.99 used, so I reserved one at the store near me. If the price is correct and it comes with a box and manual, I'll be picking it up!

Can't wait to dick around with parachutes.

FFS, I was there yesterday, it was still marked at 35 bucks. I was going to trade in POP:FS and get another game, that cost me 17.99. Well, I tried that game FIRST. Nope. :(

I will just go buy it after I complete all the games I have on my backlog . Maybe its the 360 version only?

Edit: Saw the site, FUCK U GAMESTOP.

I suggest dicking around in Kinect Adventures online play, it's a lot of fun slapping and dry humping online players in the river rafting game. Of course you play like a 1337 gamer while doing so, proving that you can get high scores and dick around at the same time. I had a dude rage quit on me due to the fact that I was doing the YMCA on the raft, despite the fact that we were getting gold medals. Guess you cant have fun while being a winner.

Gaming pro tip: The dollar store chain 5 Below carries tons of Game Boy Advance, DS, DSi, iPod and iPhone accessories for super cheap. Most of the stuff is official too, not knock offs. If you ever need a case, an extra stylus or any other odds and ends I recommend the place.

I think my Wiz came with a TV out cable, but I haven't tried it yet. Let us know how it goes (Although from memory the cable was pretty short, which would make playing awkward).

And last things I spent money on...

Bought some new shorts and polo shirts for summer.

I'm really looking forward to it. The whole look of the game interests me a lot. I was pleasantly surprised with Heavenly Sword too, so I'm pretty sold on Ninja Theory as a developer.
I'm almost done Resistance 2, so I'll hopefully be playing Enslaved soon.

I promised myself that Yakuza 3 would be the first PlayStation 3 game I would get, but I saw a really good deal for... (Aki and Pao are really going to hate me for this one)... Metal Gear Solid 4. I am a fairly big fan of the series and already know the story is stupid, I am more in it for the gameplay and I am usually a really big sucker for their unlockables, hidden easter eggs and jokes littered around everywhere. The game was only $5 new, how could I pass that up?

The funny thing is that me purchasing the console is pretty much entirely up in the air right now, I could be getting it in a few months, or it could be in 2012 or later, who knows?! This is the first game I ever purchased for a console I do not own. Trippy!

And I also picked up Mass Effect 2 because it is apparently amazing and I liked the first game a whole lot (any game that is hours long and gets me to start up a third playthrough and consider doing one or two more in the near future is a complete winner to me). I wanted to wait for the Platinum Hits release with all of the special content, but Orta kind of forced me to get the Shadow Broker DLC when it was 80% off, so yeah.

I then realized just how stupid it is of me to just start off on a 40+ hour RPG only to buy a 60+ hour one and consider playing them at the same time in a month I will be very busy in.

I used to be really, really bugged by that stuff, but now I barely care, especially when Microsoft usually bundles tons of extra stuff in their Platinum Hits releases. And now everyone but Nintendo changes their overall designs every few years, so it is hard to keep any kind of consistency.

Though I am still tempted to buy games I kind of like with great covers and not to buy games I like a good amount that have shitty covers. This is really something I would like to outgrow.

What can I say? I'm a big Kojima fan :D.

The thread about favourite toys growing up brought back memories of what I considered my own personal holy grail of toys.
I was a big Power Rangers fan growing up, and managed to talk my mom into getting me the Deluxe Megazord (from the first season) for my birthday. I played with that thing all the time. I could assemble, and dissemble it with my eyes closed.
I always wanted to get ahold of the Dragonzord, but could never track it down.  The only time I came close was on a trip to Belgium when I was 8. The only way I could've afforded it though would have been to spend every cent of my spending money that had to last another 2 weeks.  I was talked out of it, and regretted it ever since.
When I first discovered eBay (way before I was old enough to have a credit card), I looked this thing up all the time. I didn't want to get a used one, and I came close to winning a couple of times before it always went out of my price range in the end.

While doing a google image search for that thread I mentioned, I came across a website that had a sealed Dragonzord in stock, for much less than it goes for on eBay. I had a bit of extra Christmas money, so I went for it.

Amazon won't charge til they ship, which is in September. It's a ways off, but I pre-ordered now since $50 off is a great deal. Plus, with amazon you either pay the lowest price at the time of pre-ordering, or if the price lowers you pay that lower price. But they never charge you more than the lowest that it was when you pre-ordered. You probably know all that bidniz though, I just learned about it. Pretty sweet deal.  :mrgreen:

It really is a shame that the remake of Rondo of Blood included in that game was never released on XBLA/PSN. I think it would have sold pretty damn good.

It was the first Castlevania game I ever played, so I can't claim to have a good point of comparison. I enjoyed the branching paths, but found the whole game to be really tough.

The local video rental store is going out of business, so I stopped in for the sale. Big sign on the wall reads: USED DVD: $8, $6 for each additional. Used BLU: $10, $8 for each additional.

All the DVDs came with mint cases, lots of rarities and great movies and shows!

So I piled high every single Universal Monster release, all the episodes of The Prisoner (1960's version) and a VERY rare Japanese movie that goes for $50 used.

I get up to the register, and they screwed me. Turns out any DVDs that they deem to be "rare" or "out of print", they will match the lowest used Amazon price. Wtf? The Monster DVDs were offered at $15 each, the rare Japanese movie was to be $50. Rip off. Thankfully they price matched the wrong Prisoner DVDs and I got the full series for $20 (retails for $70). :P

Well, you have to tell us what this Japanese film is now.

Ah yes, it's called Tampopo. I saw it in a college film class. It's a comedy about food, it's labeled the first "noodle western film". Pretty wacky stuff.

Here's the plot per wikipedia:
Tampopo begins when a pair of truck drivers, an experienced one named Goro and a young sidekick named Gun (played by Tsutomu Yamazaki and Ken Watanabe respectively), happen onto a decrepit roadside fast food stop selling ramen (noodles). The business is not doing too well, and after getting involved in a fight, the heroes decide to help the widowed owner, Tampopo ("Dandelion", played by Nobuko Miyamoto), turn her establishment into a paragon of the "art of noodle soup making".

The main narrative is interspersed with stories involving consumables on several levels. The primary subplot involves a white-suited yakuza gangster (Koji Yakusho) and his mistress (Fukumi Kuroda), who find eyebrow-raising and erotic new ways to use food. Other satirical vignettes involve a lowly office intern who upstages his senior management superiors by displaying a vast and cultured culinary knowledge while ordering at a gourmet French restaurant; a housewife who rises from her deathbed to cook one last meal for her family; and a women's etiquette class in learning how to eat spaghetti properly, i.e. without a sound as "people from foreign countries would absolutely never forgive loud slurping". Another subplot involves a corner store clerk who has to deal with an older woman obsessed with squeezing food. The clerk's scene segues into a restaurant involving gangsters and stock market scams.

Went a little nuts on ebay and filled the holes of a few collections:

• Got the remaining five USA Sonic the Hedgehog novels (circa 1995) for $1 each
• Got a pack of Full Moon trading cards for the movie Seedpeople (from the creators of Puppet Master), each pack features a different movie and has the same cards in every movie pack. I had 7 of the 8 movie packs.
(http://http://www.monsterwax.com/fullmoon.gif)
• Power Stone anime DVD volume 3. I had all but this one. It's a good series, slightly ruined by a bad dub. However I still want to see all the episodes.

No clue! They could be or they might end up being straight up novels. Sonic Retro lists them, but they don't have any info abut them. I might just give back to the community and fill in the empty wiki pages when the books arrive.

Oddly enough, in looking for the books I found the author's contact info. The dude lives in New York. I considered emailing him some questions for an interview. I figure it would be one of the more obscure interviews that could be done for the 20th anniversary.

I swung by Walmart to pick up Vanquish, and noticed that they were dumping off a few games for super cheap.
Along with Vanquish, I ended up getting:

The Chronicles of Riddick: Assault on Dark Athena (PC) for $1
GrimGrimoire (PS2) for $1
Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions (PSP) for $10
Note: I can't play it any time soon, as I don't have a PSP 3000. I'll probably pick one up by the time I get the time to play this one.

Yakuza 3 and 3D Dot Game Heroes. Buying the PlayStation 3 console (prolly 160g model) next week for sure.

So Goddamned pumped for Yakuza 3 after all of these years (two!) of waiting. Even better, Yakuza 4 comes out really soon!

Oh yeah, and I have always wanted to try out 3D Dot Game Heroes and more of Metal Gear Solid 4! How is the online play for MGS4? I assume after like three years it has to be kind of barren?

It sucks how Sony changed their rules for game sharing, was really looking to take advantage of that.

Fantastic news :D.

I haven't really played the online in MGS 4 since it came out so I can't really say on that one. Konami had some weird setup where you had to register for a Konami account and connect using a password in game.
Uncharted 2 has pretty similar multiplayer, and is a bit more fun.

I don't think there are any more must-have Dreamcast games for me, but there are a few more that fall in the "would be nice" category.
If you see any really good ones that I'm missing on my playfire account, let me know, and I'll keep an eye out.

Thanks!   :afroman:
You have a good deal of the "must have" titles, though I do recommend these that I did not see in your collection:
-Floigan Bros.
-Fast Striker
-MDK2 (unless you have it on PS2)
-Rayman 2 (unless you have it on PS2/N64)
-Tech Romancer
-W&W Puzzle Battles (or download the free PC version, though I prefer it on the Dreamcast one ad it's only $13 online)
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on

I've got Rayman 2 on N64, and wasn't crazy about the demo for MDK2 that I played.
Tech Romancer looks really cool though. I'll see if I can find Floigan Bros. for a decent price.

The Dreamcast purchases continue.
I already had Tony Hawk's Pro Skater on N64, but the DC version's super cheap and has better music, so I picked it up.
I also found Wacky Races for really cheap too.

I'm looking forward to playing it with the complete soundtrack. The N64 version was great, but it was a bummer that they had to dumb down the music to fit it on the cart.

I put most of my time into THPS2 on Dreamcast. The manual was such a huge addition to the series.

What's your favourite level in the first game?
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: MadeManG74 on February 06, 2011, 05:53:39 am
Hmm, good question, I'm trying to remember now. The Shopping Mall was quite good, as was the original School level.

I think the first tournament level was probably my favourite though, the warehouse one. I used to get over a million points on that level by grinding the light rails on the rafters.

Holy shit! So that former Sega employee selling promo stuff on eBay, featured on the main page, has a grab bag box up for sale. The thing shot up to freakin $430!! No way will it be worth it. Even if the secret Dreamcast item is a broadband adaptor or a special edition box, $430?no way.

I'm hoping the DC collection at least has a disc menu from which you can select the games. Would be cheap if inserting the disc just caused the games to appear in your library. Also, I doubt it, but I'm hoping there is some sort of bonus on the disc. Guess I'll see when I get it! Probably going to review it too.

Those tournament levels were all really well laid out. I think San Fransisco might have been my favourite. There were some great opportunities for vert tricks in the bowl, and some good long lines for grind/flip trick combos.

Yeah! I was gonna go for the DVD, but the Amazon prices have changed drastically, so now the blu is only $5 more. I figure, even if it's an upscale, it'll still look better than the DVD thanks to FLCL being colored digitally (I heard it was some sort of vector based animation?)

The 1080p trailer looked nice, I figure the blu will look as nice and better:

Pretty much Amazon gives us a reference link to anything in the store. If the user clicks the link, buys item on Amazon, we get a % of the money. I forgot how much it is, I want to say 5%.

Example:
STAR WARS BLURAY: http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Complet ... 430&sr=8-1 (http://www.amazon.com/Star-Wars-Complete-Episodes-Blu-ray/dp/B003ZSJ212/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1297068430&sr=8-1)

See the 'Ref=sr', that is showing that its reference link.

Edit: easier. Got a ad thing, basically sends you to amazon.com, whatever purchase is already under ref.

Yes... Yes... YEEEEES!

I can't beleive it.

I was trying to get an Xbox 360 S for a reasonable price on the Internet and I decided to pay a visit my local GAME store(about 15 minutes by foot from my house) and I asked the clerk if he had any bundles with just the console and the 250 Gigas hard drive. He had one in the back of the store in used condition(barely a month old).

The clerk was saving it for a friend, but the deal sorta went sour, so it was just lying there in the back.

I got it for 170€/220USD/£140.

Not only was Alan Wake installed there, the previous owner had Super Meat Boy, Rez HD, Braid and Limbo installed. Pretty sweet!

Trying to be as manly as I can while typing this, but: omg, I had the best trip to the mall today!

Stopped in to hit GameStop. On the way to GS, I noticed that the empty space once occupied by the used game store Play N Trade (closed 3 months back) was now occupied by a place called Game Trader. Stopped in, great prices and selection! I found SEGA Superstars (PS2, didn't have an Eye Toy but I figured I'd hit ebay when I got home) and shuffled through a stack of Dreamcast games. Every game was $8 each, so I got Qbert and Disney's Magical Racing Tour in a buy one get one free sale. $4 each, nice.

Then I finally got to GameStop and snagged their last copy of You Don't Know Jack on the 360. In the back I found a PS2 Eye Toy for the low price of $3. Nice.

Overall, I spent less than $45, got four games, a (lame) accessory and discovered a new store that carries old SEGA games and systems.

I rarely buy stuff off Rakuten.com's auction section but I couldn't resist last night. I ended up buying a sealed copy of Samba De Amigo ver.2000 . I've been wanting my own copy ever since it was released back in 2000.

Anyhow, the plastic wrapper had SAMPLE stuck onto it but after unwrapping it, it seems to be just a regular pressed copy.

The only difference I can notice is its missing a spine card and it has Not for sale Sample printed on the inner ring of the disc. I am fairly sure not many of these "copies" are floating around in the wild and I probably made a Dreamcast collector cry by cracking her out of her factory wrapping. But hey, what's the fun of owning games if you don't play them?

I am so glad I picked up a second spare set of maracas a few months ago. Now if I can play with my wife in the love-love mode/mini games.

It was a pretty cheap pickup too. I paid 500yen after shipping. With this purchase, my Dreamcast collection is nearly complete!

Post by: Barry the Nomad on February 10, 2011, 08:17:11 am
Nice find! Yeah, don't worry about opening it. Games are made to be played! An action figure with limited poseability in a fancy box, I can understand staying in the box. You can see it clearly, and probably won't get much out of it opened. But a sealed game? Whats the point? You can't see or play the game while it's wrapped up!

I imported ver. 2000 back in 2002, it's awesome! Makes the first game obsolete. I love the new songs and modes, especially the maraca swinging motions (woo! woo! woo! woo!). I got my lady to play love love mode, she quite enjoyed it!

We should have a SEGAbits video feature called "It's a game, dummy! Open it and play it!" where we film ourselves opening rare sealed games.

I spend a lot of money on PC hardware. What comes with it is making a lot of mistakes. I bought a motherboard a year ago and decided to build a top performance computer. Sadly the motherboard wasn't that great(I hate wasting money on wrong things). Computers all have theor own sockets and that kinda stuff, so I had to get rid of the whole thing and didn't make any profit doing so. Now I bought a new motherboard, new ram and a new processor (kept videocards). I recently tried out assassins creed 2 and it works flawlesly. It looks even greater than on the console. Mind was blown :3

I highly recommend you guys burn the VMU Tool disc, it opens up a whole world of file saves, vmu games and more. It basically makes the modem unnecessary:
http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmutool/rele ... en&menu=on (http://bswirl.kitsunet.org/vmutool/release/about/?lg=en&menu=on)

If you download the pre-packaged version, you get VMU saves from about 6 different sites and almost every VMU game (official and indie) on one disc. The disc has an easy to use menu and memory management system. I'm a total n00b when it comes to burning CDs for the Dreamcast, but it only took me 2 hours to figure it all out and burn a working disc.

I highly recommend you guys burn the VMU Tool disc, it opens up a whole world of file saves, vmu games and more. It basically makes the modem unnecessary:

You rock Bary. I'm going to mess with this now. It's too bad theres nothing like this for save states on the Sega Saturn/CD. I'd be in heaven.

Sure thing, dude!
I've dusted off many games that were once too difficult or too Japanese language heavy to play thanks to the many save files. Also, I believe they include the complete PSO quest files as well as all the crazy Sonic Adventure dlc. My favorite bit is the VMU emulator, so you can play all the VMU games on your TV screen without having to buy batteries and take up file space.

I carried a vmu battery in my pocket all last week as a reminder to pick some up when I was out, never got around to it. So in my pocket it still sits. Makes for a mediocre conversation piece when I'm out with friends.

Fighting Vipers 2 for the Dreamcast! It was the only AM2 fighter that I did not own. :D

I had thought Last Bronx on Saturn was AM2, but turns out it was AM3. Still mean to pick that up someday.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: MadeManG74 on February 18, 2011, 10:56:48 pm
^Last Bronx fucking ROCKS. I really wish they could bring that back somehow.

It wasn't quite up there with VF, but it still had a huge amount of moves and combos and had some fantastic weapon's based fighting. Red Eye was really cool too, he was one of the first that i did a 'Last boss' write up for actually.

I would love to see a return someday, or even have a character from it crop up somewhere in a future game (assuming AM2 or someone good made a Sega Fighting Mashup again).

Also the opening credits:

You know what, forget SEGA All-Stars Fighters. A FIghters Megamix 2 with VF, Fighting Vipers, Last Bronx and more grown up SEGA characters as cameos would rule. Save the kiddy characters like Sonic for environments (maybe a Sonic themed arcade?) or costume parts (a Knuckles shirt, Amy Rose hammer).
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: MadeManG74 on February 19, 2011, 07:26:00 am
^I agree, I don't care what it's called, I would love to see something akin to Fighters Megamix again though. Draw on actual fighting characters like the Eternal Champions cast, Last Bronx cast, Streets of Rage etc to build up a great roster.

Anyway, it's got about as much chance of happening as me winning the lotto unfortunately.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on

^Indeed, they would need to include at least Kazuma, maybe Majima as well.

Seriously, I bet we could come up with an awesome idea for fighters megamix 2, that would probably never ever happen. I fear the closest we'll get is a horrible Sonic All Stars Rumble game with 12 Sonic characters, Billy hatcher and the pilot from afterburner or something.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on February 19, 2011, 06:32:00 pm
I don't hate the idea of some Sonic characters being in a Megamix 2. However, the problem with Sonic characters are that they'd have to be as tall as the humans (see the first Megamix) for their blows to be convincing. But then, it feels more like a dude in a Sonic body suit than Sonic himself (who is roughly 3 feet tall). If they could make a 3' tall Sonic versus a 5'9" tall Akira work, then I wouldn't mind Sonic and Eggman being in the game. But I think it should end there. No 12 character Sonic representation. Maybe throw in Bark and Bean as well for a nod towards Sonic the Fighters.

I'm making a Fighters Megamix 2 thread now, I like where this is going. :)

Not the last thing I bought but I felt I should say it because it feels like an absolute bargin.

Bought the first Duck Tales Series 1 for £5, well it's not Series 1 proper but it's the first of the collection Disney have released. Still £5 for 21 episodes for arguable the greatest children's series to be made is good value for money. And it seems to have done the trick as my nephew seems to be hooked on it.

I just wasted my money on computer parts again. Why is nothing ever perfect for me *sigh*?

I think the last few months, I spent really too much. I keep on buying, and than selling, buying. Making many mistakes here :(. Wasted at least around the 100 euro while "expiremting". I have an awesome computer now but it was missing something, and there I still wasn't satisfied with it -_-. I ordered a new motherboard, again, and new DDR3 replacing the older ddr2 rams. In total it's going to be 110 euro's. But I hope selling the old parts will compensate a little bit. Gonna have to sell and make a loss of all that crap again.

Anyway a tip for anyone in the future, if you plan to build a computer in the, do not ever buy cheap motherboards(example: asrock), they suck. Asus boards are usually the greatest.

Yoshinori Ono and Ryota Niitsuma are interested in reviving it, but they're holding it back for release this year to avoid saturating the market w/fighters. Which is a rather smart move.

I had no idea Classic Game Room had a DVD, or that it would ever be featured in normal stores.

I bought Fallout 3 Game of the Year Edition on PlayStation 3. I have been waiting for a fairly long time to play this game, but I knew there would be DLC and I knew they would make an edition with all of the content, and this seemed like a cool deal because it is all on the same disc.

However, apparently the PlayStation 3 version is beyond unplayable and freezes the console constantly. Someone said if it freezes three times every fifteen hours that you are lucky and to expect the game to drop to 5FPS every now and then. Wonderful.

I am still pretty excited even though it is kind of a stupid purchase right before Yakuza 4 comes out, but I hope I can get some decent playtime out of it. It does not seem like the story will be my favorite feature of that anyways, I cannot even remember what happened in Oblivion, but I loved it.

I almost bought Uncharted 2 GOTY instead though, and I am happy I did not because literally a few hours after I decided on my purchase, that game was announced for a Greatest Hits release at a much lower price. Cannot wait to play the full version of that game finally though, whenever I get that.

I found the game for a stupidly cheap price and knew I would not see that kind of deal again for years, so I jumped on it.

Besides, 3 takes place on the east coast of North America and the rest are on the west side. So the story does not really connect with them, right?

In any event, if I like this one enough I will be sure to put some money aside for them on GOG when they are on sale.

I bought the theatricals, but they were only $10 each so I'm not too bummed. I actually sort of prefer the theatrical FotR, mainly because I watched the theatrical one far more than the extended cut. Also, shorter run time = far greater a chance that people will let me put it on during Thanksgiving/Christmas. It's a good family movie.

Only downside I'm hearing is that the EE bluray set will include DVD discs for the extras, as the content was not produced in HD when first released so it couldn't be in HD in the upcoming set. So one blu disc per film, plus two DVD bonus discs and an unnecessary digital download disc.

Still, it's the movies that count and thankfully they're including some HD documentaries on the movie discs.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Emmett The Crab on March 08, 2011, 11:02:00 am
They could probably have fit all the SD stuff on one blu-ray disc.  Also it's kind of sad when they waste an entire DVD for the digital download, when often it's just an itunes unlock code.  Sometimes the movie is on there, but often you still have to download it.

I'll bet that come The Hobbit's release, the EE blurays will receive individual releases that will have Hobbit features. Then, when the Hobbit hits bluray those same features will be on those. Then they'll repackage the EE set with the hobbit movies and call it Uncle Peter's Middle Earth Bonanza Box.

Warner Bros. and New Line are the masters of double dipping.

He was also on the last season of The Office playing Dwight's friend. So yeah, he was hilarious. Also saw Neil Hamburger, the world's funnyman. I bought a t-shirt:

(http://http://www.wired.com/images_blogs/underwire/2011/03/venture-bros-season-4-blu-r.jpg)

I'm home for two days of recovery on Tuesday/Wednesday (having very minor surgery, no biggie) so I'm going to be drinking and watching Venture Bros.

Wow good luck with the surgery, I hope that it goes well.
I recently picked up Monopoly Deal, it is fun for a card game.

I enjoyed Fever quite a bit. I'd love to hear your thoughts on how it compares to Puyo Puyo 4 when that shows up.

Puyo Puyo 4 is awesome so far. Better cutscenes, great intro and it's great to see the cast from the first three games with new mature designs.

If only there were an english option. Also, I've yet to to see what gameplay additions there are.

Yeah, it reminds me much more of 2&3 on the Saturn. More of a pixel feel to the graphics, less of the squishy flash animation feel of Fever.

Lots of good RPGs ahead of you on that system.

Those will keep me busy until VT4 hits. :)

I think SuperMan is a train wreck.

The Comic Book.
The Cartoons.
The Movies.
The TV Shows.
All shit, I know i've seen them and read more then a few issues.

But the games aren't all bad, I liked the one on Genesis, Streets of Rage style.

The character is just to imbalanced, and makes up his own rules as he goes along.

A rebuttle to all four of those:

An awesome comic book:

A great (classic) movie:

A classic tv show, also the animated series mentioned above:
(http://http://static.cdn.masjo.com/movie/images/the-adventures-of-superman-the-complete-second-season-.jpg)

Seriously, to call Superman shit is crazy. If anything, it's the games that are lacking and the tv shows, cartoons and comics that are the strongest. All-Star Superman is amazing, the cartoons (both classic and modern) are great, the tv show was classic and the first two movies (as well as Returns, in my opinion) are great fun.

Agreed with Barry, All-Star Superman is brilliant.

Anyway, Batman Arkham Asylum is one of the very best games this generation, it's disgustingly good.

Last thing I spent money on was Tombstone, Blade Runner: Final Cut and Breaker Morant on Blu-Ray as a buy 2 get one free sale. Also got Hollow Men TV series.

@mademan: I still need to get around to picking up the massive Absolute All Star Superman hardcover book. I think that would make for a great addition to the ol' book shelf.

Didn't make it to Gamestop today, but am hitting them up tomorrow for some Ark Ham with a side of Bat.

Spent money on a SanDisk 16GB Cruzer Micro USB 2.0 Drive (Refurbished) for the ol' 360. Thing was only $16 on Amazon.

Also pre-ordered Virtua Tennis 4. So sweet that it's only $50. Bring on May 10th!

Even so, there are probably some self-contained stories of theirs that are quite good. For example, you could pick up Punisher: Circle of Blood or Welcome Back Frank and you'd have a great self-contained story for the character. Ditto with Batman's Long Halloween or Daredevil's Man Without Fear.

Post by: MadeManG74 on April 03, 2011, 04:59:15 am
Yeah I generally avoid those ongoing runs as well. Although having said that, they often inlcude a lot of those mini-series within them. Batman's 'Hush' for example is a pretty good self-contained story that was just part of Batman's continuing run. Punisher MAX series is ongoing but then you have stuff like 'Kingpin' and 'Slavers' that are very well self-contained.

Okay so I haven't watched/read everything you listed.

But I've watched TAS, and it is a cartoon so you don't expect it to be realistic but even when I watched it as a kid, it would annoy me to see SuperMan get his ass kicked but still beat the bad guy without the help of an additional variable, he defeated with his own physical powers?

Which always leads to the question, why was he getting beaten up in the 1st place.

Even Sup Returns had the same problem. He had a piece of Kryptonite lodged in him, and he was fighting on an entire island made of kryptonite. He carried the kryptonite off the planet and then he collapses.

The worst part of Superman is that he has great villains like Brainiac, and Lex Luthor that are supposed to be the most intellegent beings in the universe, yet in order for them to be thwarted by SuperMan they have to act in the most stupidest ways.

Why the fuck am I even writing this, the whole premise off a show is that all he has to do to bring out his alter ego is change his hair style and put on glasses?

How stupid is that?

In this day and age even a Mask can't hide your identity. Your DNA is a trail, ever seen an episode of CSI. That is the cool thing about BatMan any character in his universe with half a brain can put 2 and 2 together and figure out his identity.

See through the whole Bruce Wayne playboy thing, Raj al Ghul simply applied the basic logic of finances and figured out his identity in TAS.

Gordon knows his identity from day 1, but just plays along with him as evident in several episodes of TAS.

Superman... yarg pisses me off :P

I think you are looking too much into the micro details and ignoring the big picture. They are super-heros, none of them are even slightly realistic. Hell, the most realistic I can think of would be the Punisher and even he is totally unbelievable.

You really should check out All-Star Superman, it really gives a great overview of the character and what makes him so popular I think. It's reallly the only Superman comic I've read, but I loved it.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: cube_b3 on April 03, 2011, 06:51:22 am
If I come across it i'll read it.

I've watched all episodes of Smallville and I really hate that show, but I continue to watch it anyways.

I get how all Superheroes are over the top, but Sups is over the top on over the top. You never for a moment ever find the character vulnerable, their is never any tention cause he changes his weakness on the fly.

To see him getting his ass kicked is just annoying as he is just wasting time, just fire up the heat vision and call it a day.

Might pick up a used Wii and three SEGA titles today. Local game shop has a deal where you buy two used games, and get one free.

I had a shitty past few weeks: a funeral, car trouble, paying taxes, surgery, blood pouring out of my face (okay, thats a bit dramatic, but it did suck). I need me some lightgun games and a good Sonic title bad. Haven't had either since the Dreamcast days.

Oh, and I'll probably still pick up Arkham. ;)

edit:

Awesome! Got me a used Wii at Gamestop! Cool thing is, the box had two wiimotes, 2 nunchucks, 2 wiimote battery chargers, a charger base and the obvious console stuff. Usually, gamestop only gives one wiimote and no charger. Also, Sonic Colors was only $30. :)

I need new shoes too.


I ordered a messenger bag yesterday. $81 dollars from amazon, used-like new. Lol bag is normally 120 dollars. My backpack was falling apart and I wanted to try a messenger bag. I've never used one.

I wanted something that could withstand the elements of nature and is high quality, Timbuk2 seemed like a highly praised brand for that... I was also interested in the all black Crumpler... but it was way too expensive for me -.- lol 110 dollars.

So I went with a Timbuk2 d-lux messenger medium that I found on amazon, pretty happy with the colors, should arrive later this week.

So my messenger bag arrived today. It's really high quality. I was shocked by how heavy it was by itself lol. The colors are really nice in person too. medium is the perfect size. I was worried it would be too big, but small would of been too small.

At first when i put it on.. i hated it lol.. felt so different compared to a backpack.. but i liked how it sat against me instead of covering my whole back. So I decided to try getting used to it. Loaded it up with books and just walked around with it for a while.. lol I don't normally carry many books.. just wanted to get myself used to the feeling.

That idea worked cause I'm getting used to it now. I imagine it's much nicer carrying a lighter load like i normally would.

I really like how it looks smaller then my backpack did, but has much more room!

overall, I'm happy with it xP at least so far.

I really enjoyed Klonoa 2 on the PS2, and never got around to playing the PS1 version, so I figured the Wii ramake was the next best thing. From what I hear though, it's damn easy and quite short. Still, looking forward to giving it a try.

Wario Land Shake It is damn awesome. To be honest, I am not a fan of Mario at all, but really like Wario's games (Inc, the Wario Land games). He just has a far more interesting character to him and his games are much more innovative. Wario and Kirby are probably the two Nintendo franchises I give a damn about. Mario, Zelda and Donkey Kong not so much.

The last thing I spent money on was a trip to texas for "Texas Frightmare Weekend" last weekend.

http://www.texasfrightmareweekend.com/l ... uests.html (http://www.texasfrightmareweekend.com/lifetype/static/guests.html)

Which is why we gotta start crankin out SEGAbits videos, show our faces in them and then crank out a DVD. Set up a table at a con, and presto! $15 a DVD, internet celebs! Cash money!

Little nerdy teenagers will get all nervous around us, asking for autographs and pictures with "the SEGAbits crew".

I heard that Marvel got the rights to Ghost Rider back and are planning a sequel/Reboot. The character sounds pretty interesting, but I'd never read any of the comics so I bought 'Ghost Rider Essentials Vol 1' and 'Road to Damnation'. Road to Damnation is written by Garth Ennis (Preacher, Punisher) so I'm really looking forward to checking that one out.

I think Miramax distributed Mononoke, though I hope Disney now has the rights to distribute it. I think they do, so its only a matter of time. John Lasseter would gladly pour money into the release. Grave of the Fireflies is tricky, I believe. It is now owned by ADV, who are lazy asses. I own the original 2 disc Central Park Media DVD which is awesome. Lots of commentary from the makers as well as Roger Ebert, who knows his shit. Full movie in storyboards too.

SW is going to kick serious ass on blu. LOTR will be great, but I wish there were better features. Not just recycled extras from the DVD complete with them being the same DVDs released years ago.

Bought a few DVDs filled with retro commercials and educational films from the local record shop. Theres this great series where each volume has a theme, I picked up the Marriage one for obvious reasons. Though I also want to get the Atomic Bomb Survival volume.

The only thing I hate about the Pixar and Disney partnership is that they now focus on shit outside of the film. Like Cars 2 is coming due to the film making tons of profit in toy sales, yet did half as great as The Incredibles. But since the Incredibles didn't sell toys that much, we don't get a sequel.

Also tons of analyst doubted UP would do great and it probably wasn't great for Pixar's stock compared to Cars. Sucks man...

BTW: I hate Cars.

I was "meh" on the first Cars. Loved the desert vistas, amazing environments, but the characters felt like they came straight out of a sitcom from the 60's. The Italian is an Italian! The army guy is a tough army guy! The hick is a hick!

The second Cars looks okay, but I probably won't see it in theaters...

However there is a Toy Story short before the movie, so I guess I will see it during a matinee.

Heard good things about Radiant Historia.. plus it looks like it's starting to get rare.. would rather get it while it's normal price.

I've always like Okami so Okamiden was a no brainer. Especially with Amazon's buy 1 get 1 50% off deal going on at amazon right now for select DS and 3DS games. Both Radiant historia and Okamiden were part of that deal.

I know it's not the same, but I thought it might work. Also, it can get pretty damn close if you plug in one of those Saturn like pads, that's how I played throug hthe translated trilogy.

I really don't know how else to help unfortunately. You could try downloading an ISO or something and burning it if you have a modded Saturn, but sounds like the disc just doesn't work. I would try to get a refund through eBay.

I got back an hour or so later in time to see him finishing it:

I didn't know they had a box set with all the Gamera films!? I'll need to check that out.

Last thing I spent money on was a Mega Man Powered Up avatar for my PSN account.

Yup! Came out on Tuesday :D All five MST3K episodes, and a lot of bonus features. The same DVD company also have the original movies available separately, though I can't make it through one without MST3K.

Last year, there was a week where my fiancee and I watched Lebowski every night. I think we watched it 6 or 7 times. We watched it again a few weeks back and really wanted to see it in HD, so we could better read the Dude's checkbook:

The Edgeworth/Wright games would be one of my major reasons for picking up a DS/3DS. The iPod ports don't seem to be happening anymore, they ported the first one (which was fantastic) but nothing since. Playing the Wiiware releases aren't as fun, I prefer the handheld route.

I baught a Toshiba Camileo S20 HD Camcorder from American, since the Dollar is a joke.

It was in a sale in an Ameircan store from $180 or so down to $90. Which means for me it was around £30 and I split the cost with my dad so I only payed £25 for a $180 camera. Free shipping too since I had it shipped to my girlfriends family in the USA and they're sending it to me.

THATS GOOD SHOPPING!

Dracula, the original Bela Lugosi version on DVD for dirt cheap.

Nice. I picked up three of the Universal Monster Legacy collection DVDs from the Universal store, they're like $11-14 each and have the full series for each monster. I went with the big three: Dracula, Frankenstein and Wolf Man. They also had Mummy, Invisible Man and Creature from the BLack Lagoon... but those aren't all too exciting to me. Especially Invisible Man, which is a pretty weak "monster".

Also picked this up from Wal-Mart for $34:

Every Halloween I try to get one horror franchise on DVD. Two years ago it was Nightmare on Elm Street, last year it was a lot of the Full Moon Pictures movies and this year it's Jason + Universal Monsters.

Depends on the hair color, the type of hair, how well it responds to flashlamp,etc, based on that the effect can last for 2-3 years. Beats having to wax every 2/3 months(and it's painful as Hell)!

Went to Target last night for cat food and dishwashing liquid, and passed the blu-ray section. Saw this beaut for $47 and caved. I was planning on getting it in a few months, but I just love the first film too much to wait. JP is probably one of my favorite movies, next to Batman (1989), Back to the Future, Who Framed Roger Rabbit?, The Empire Strikes Back and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. It's one of those movies I could watch in my head if I wanted to (and was crazy enough to). The six part documentary is pretty sweet, lots of early effects footage. Back in 1993/1994 a Jurassic Park exhibit was touring the country and hit our science museum. It had a TON of props from the film. I remember seeing the original banner and skeletons from the JP lobby, Mr. DNA animation cells and ID tags for Dennis and Sam Jackson. Oh yeah! And the Barbasol can, lol.

Shame parts 2 and 3 suffered from including only one main character from the original film in each. I'll bet JP2 would be way better had they included Dr. Grant and the kid Tim along with Jeff Goldblum's Malcolm. Have the other characters cameo in the beginning. JP2 is like if Empire Strikes Back only featured Han Solo and Chewie and had him going after a secret weapon created by the Empire, but you didn't see Vader or Luke or Leia. Instead you had all these new characters you didn't care about.

JP3 was a bit better in concept, but was WAY too short. Damn thing was 90 minutes! I hate when a third film in a series is much shorter than the others (see X-Men 3 as another example).

So yeah, I will have two copies of the game. :P I considered trading in my US version if the German version works on my console, but then I thought about how the German version won't have American packaging (it'll be in German and have that huge ugly rating stamp). So I guess I'll keep both.

Now that's a serious gaming achievement. You're in for a treat with the early games. Yakuza 1 is a bit rough around the edges (gameplay-wise. The story's top notch), but things really come together with the second title.

Went light on black friday this year, due to limited funds. Though I did get:

X-Men First Class ($9.99), X-Men (4.99) and X2 (6.99) on blu-ray at Best Buy. They were sold out of the third movie, but I hated it anyway so no biggie.

Also picked up the first two reboot Gamera movies on blu-ray, then when I got home I realized there is another version with the third movie included. However, looking into it more it turns out the third movie's subtitles are seriously flawed. All subtitles appear ten seconds after they're supposed to! Probably gonna get a recall. So glad I didn't get it.

I picked up the latest issues of Wolverine and the X-Men, Uncanny X-Force, Justice League, and Wonder Woman.
Every single one of them was pretty great.

I'd probably recommend waiting for the trade of Justice League. The art and story are really great, but for the amount of stuff that happens in each issue, it's pretty tough to wait a month between each one.

I also finished up all my Christmas shopping. All that's left is the wrapping :-/

^ I've heard of that! Is it good? ;)

Decided to read all the Tintin books in 2012, so I ordered the first one, published in 1929. Sucks that I have to import the next one due to US censorship.

(http://comicattack.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Soviets.jpg)

Each one is $8, will probably get two or three a month. Yeek! I'll have spent over $190 by the end of the series! Ah well, it's divvied up over a year. I've read them all 20 years ago via the library, so I know I'll enjoy owning them.

Madtv season 1, $5 on Amazon. Shame they cancelled the rest of the DVD releases, because the first 6 seasons were great. Seasons 7-14 were pretty shitty, but the early stuff rivaled quality SNL. In fact, Madtv was better than SNL for a good five years.

I was in Canadian Tire, and decided to check out the cheap games section (mostley shovel-ware), and I found a little SEGA surprise. They had Jambo! Safari on the Wii for cheap. I've always been interested in checking this one out (mostly due to the fact that it's a Dreamcast-era SEGA title), and I couldn't really pass up the price.

Gamestop sucks when it comes to reasonable used prices, so this was a steal. They also had Madworld for $5 but I already own it. Let's Tap and Ivy the Kiwi are both still $15 each used, too much if you ask me considering new is $20 for either one.

Post by: inthesky on April 20, 2012, 10:04:52 am
The last game I purchased was Xenoblade Chronicles, but I'm waiting till I get back home where my Wii is so that I can play it, since I don't have a Wii at college and though I know other people with Wii's, I'd probably end up being obnoxious and playing it through nights or just generally hogging it so I just want to do what's least inconveniencing. So I shall be patient! Beforehand I went on game-buying spree with Kid Icarus, Tales of Graces f, and Devil May Cry HD Collection, but I've purchased almost nothing else this semester game-wise.

The last thing in general that I bought was a pair of earphones. After a year of service, my previous pair finally lost sound in one side. Poor thing. Got this one for $16, good enough sound, strong enough bass, so I'm happy.

Yup, check out offspring.com for album information. Days Go By is one, and is pretty good. Cruising California (Bumpin' In My Trunk) is the other, and is a far departure from anything they've ever done. It's a riot, to say the least. :D Prepare to be shocked if you listen to it! And beware, it's a very tongue in cheek song. Clearly meant to be satirical, in my opinion. Let me now what you think when you give them a listen.

Uncanny X-men #350
Uncanny X-men #354
Justice League #9
Justice League #10
Justice League dark #11
The Flash #11

I picked up Dumbo on Blu-Ray, Passion Pit's latest album, and a couple of wrestling DVDs, including this year's Extreme Rules.

Bargains are getting tough to find lately. Especially since the stores I usually buy games from (Zavvi.com and TheHut.com) have jacked up the prices on some of those special offers they have.

A few games are taking much longer to markdown than I had originally anticipated (Lollipop Chainsaw. Ninja Gaiden 3, etc)

It's been kinda like this for a while. I caught Wet from CD-Wow.com. I know it's not much, but September still feels so far and I thought it would make a good time waster.

@Cosmic Castaway: Thanks :D. It was only $15 at Toys R' Us, and I've heard good things. Spider-man 2 on the Gamecube was one of my all-time favourites, so I'm pretty excited to try this one out.

@Max Cady: I know how you feel about the price drops.  I've seen Lollipop Chainsaw go on the occasional sale for $40, but it probably won't permanently drop down past that for a few months.  Binary Domain just dropped down to $29 here.

Wet's a pretty fun game.  Not super polished, but tons of fun when not taken too seriously.

I played through the Beck songs in Sound Shapes. This game just gets better and better :).

I played through with the original Jp voices.  The english dub sounded completely acceptable but I decided I'd rather not put up with Gemini's southern drawl.  Plus since the musicals are such a big part of the franchise's heritage it felt only right.

Picked up a 3DS XL on release day! I tried to find the best deal, Kmart was offering $20 game credit, but it couldn't be redeemed until next week. :P Kmart has shit inventory too, and their prices aren't so hot. Toys R Us offered a free headset thing, like I'd be caught wearing a doofy headset in public. So I went with Best Buy which offered a free hard case, which I was going to buy anyway. Then I hit Gamestop for Crush 3D.

(http://i.imgur.com/dGbUR.jpg)

I might head out today to get one or two more games. Probably SEGA titles and maaaaaybe a Mario game. But I don't plan to spend much.

I might write up a quick article this week, just a "thoughts on 3DS XL from a SEGA fan perspective".

I'm liking it so far! I never owned the original 3DS, but I did play demo kiosks a lot, and after playing XL I can't go back. the original 3DS is just so damn small! Played the KH3DS demo and loved it, also tried out the Rhythm Thief demo and really enjoyed it. Might get Sonic Generations first. Yeah yeah, it's a 7/10 game and is nowhere near as good as the HD version. But I can't ignore a game with Mushroom Hill. I love that stage.

From what I played of Generations on there, it's pretty fun. Shinobi's dropped to a pretty cheap price everywhere too.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on August 20, 2012, 01:33:14 pm
Yeah, just got Generations and Elite Beat Agents. The dude at Gamestop was like "we have Generations used" and I was like "fuck that, I want it new so SEGA gets money and I get a freakin game case!"

Elite Beat Agents was just $4 and it was complete in box. Even the Club Nintendo codes were good. Score.

Shinobi is next on my list, Amazon has it for $15 which is an awesome price.

In fact, here is my wish list (copied and pasted from a text doc I made):

3DS
Shinobi
Rhythm Thief
Super Mario 3D Land
NSMB2
Kingdom Hearts 3DS

DS
Sonic Rush
Sonic Rush Adventure
Sonic Colors
Sonic Chronicles
NSMB
Ghost Trick
The World Ends With You
999

I love Polka Man!

Regarding NSMB2, game itself looks fun but holy shit is it a cash in! So many reused assets! It's basically NSMB Wii remixed. At least Sonic gives all new assets and stage tropes when a new game releases, even if said games are not up to the "Mario Standard" of quality. :P

Also, why is it that a legitimate Mario game with fully 3D graphics (Super Mario 3D Land) costs $40 while a cheaper looking 2D Mario game with reused assets (NSMB2) is the same price??? That's like pricing Sonic 4 Episode 2 iOS the same price as Sonic Generations 3DS. But they didn't, theres like a $30 difference.

NSMB2 should really be a $20 game TOPS.

nsmb2 should be $15 at most. there is higher quality games on XBLA and PSN

i'd buy nsmb2 at 15 dollars, but nope, not 40, not 30, ;p lol
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on August 20, 2012, 04:00:23 pm
Yeah. Really, it should have been $15 and a 3DS eStore exclusive.

Like, I walked into Gamestop, looked at the shelf and it was NSMB2 and SM3DLand side by side, both for $40. The equivalent of that would be SEGA selling Sonic 4 Episode 2 on a 3DS cartridge for $40, alongside Sonic Generations 3DS.

Nintendo is lucky that fans will buy any Mario game, regardless of how much is reused assets or the fact that it really looks like a slightly improved DS game visually.

It's the best option so far.

I'll probably buy another nearer my birthday as I'm not planning on playing on the game just yet.

We had a look inside the Saturn to see what's wrong but I think it's just that the laser isn't very strong to read the games fully as it looks very old now (the guy I bought it from didn't look like he took care of it despite the box being with it).

I very recently made it to the secret worlds and I'm liking it a bit better then I thought I might despite this game getting similar complaints as most other Mario games in terms of originality or something.
Title: Re: Last thing you spent money on
Post by: Barry the Nomad on August 26, 2012, 09:39:05 am
I think the problem with Mario is that, unlike Sonic, Mushroom Kingdom is very very iconic. You can't mix up the enemies and environments too much, or it loses that Mario charm. This leads to a lot of the titles to being very samey and lacking of originality. At least in terms of visuals. They do mix it up gameplay-wise, but again if they do it too much it becomes something other than Mario. Like, Super Mario Sunshine is a fun game, but that water mechanic just ain't Mario. Thankfully, unlike Sonic who mixes it up TOO much (at least from 2004-2008), Mario has rarely diverted from the basic gameplay mechanics. Galaxy 1&2 are great games, but again, I think they divert too much from the formula. I got tired of running about on spheres and navigating the hub world. Also, I didn't like waving the Wiimote at the screen to collect items. I really just wanted a flat surface and a standard controller.

Which is why I like 3D Land so much. Its the best marriage of 2D and 3D Mario I've ever seen. I think being on a handheld title helps, because they try not to go too big with the environments and keep things restrained to a linear path.

I will say that I really appreciate how Sonic Team handles callback to the Genesis originals. I mean, look at Mario. A callback to the NES days happens all the time. Mario fans LOVE their nostalgia and Nintendo loves giving them what they want. But I think this over saturates things and makes it less special to see a reference to the 80's games.

Sonic, Meanwhile, has just started this trend but is quite reserved about it. Sonic 4 and Generations were the only titles to really go all out in the homages. But Colors, I think, did it perfectly. It was awesome encountering an old badnik in a new setting. Like the massive Motobug in Starlight Carnival. That was great! I hope SEGA keeps these homages and callbacks coming, but not at the Mario scale so they continue to be special.

This may sound a little odd, but this little trick got me through the first game....
Don't look at the screen.  When things get really crazy, sometimes it's easier to just close your eyes and focus on the audio cues. Things were a bit easier this way on the Dreamcast versions, because the VMU would show you when it was your turn, and when it wasn't.

I am pretty sure at this point that I'm being scammed. I ordered a ton of USB gadgets, some of 'em to sell locally and it's been nearly an entire month and there's nothing on my mailbox right now.

Moving on, I ordered a few books that I wanted to get into. Namely Robert Louis Stevenson's The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. And a How to Draw book. Wanna flex my sketching skills.

If you ordered from overseas there is the possibility they are stuck in customs (alfandega)

If you order a big box of something usually you're screwed. Just head over there directly or call them. Also, if ou have a tracking number, usually you can track the package down.

But I'm fairly sure you know this better than I do. Wish I could help man

You can do it sharky!  but yeah, i'm a slow learner too, so I know how you feel. There is so much code related to website making that I still don't understand yet.

but the best way to learn is to look at existing stuff and alter it to begin with. Unless its crazy confusing and makes no sense, then it doesn't do any good.

I suggest going through these tutorials, they should help you understand things a bit better

Thursday Next - Lost in a Good Book.

She literally is! This is only the second book in the series out of eight of them (I liked the first one, it still won't beat Shades of Grey for me).

It's essentially Jasper Fforde's "Sonic" of his book franchises (Thursday Next, Nursary Crime, Shades of Grey and The Last Dragon Slayer).

The Last Dragon Slayer is pretty good also, but not exactly a tame fictional book like Harry Potter.

I am not too sure now...

I think it was drinks at a Pub called the Carosel, but before that I paid almost £100 for some tickets for PlayExpo in Manchester, which is both a new AND Retro Gaming convention.

Last year I got to play the Western Arcade Boards of OutRun and AfterBurner...this 50 something rocker dude was so amazing at AfterBurner! I played the old and new OutRun games since why the hell not? I also bought Super Fantasy Zone there.

I hope it's as good as last time...they even had a Famicom Duo up and running!?! D:

Too bad the "new" Saturn's (refurbished) are £200...which is fucking disgusting.

The Anaheim Ducks were originally owned by The Walt Disney Corporation, and the team was named after The Mighty Ducks movies. The team mascot, Wildwing, was the main character of the Disney Cartoon The Mighty Ducks which was very different from the movies of the same name (kids in a crappy hockey team vs. talking superhero ducks). The team was eventually sold, but they still retain the name.

Yeah I'm sure it's a limited quantity, I was fortunate enough to pick up a Zelda 3ds for Christmas. Oh and I definitely recommend mass effect for the wii u, especially for the price bestbuy has it at right now. It has a few lag issues, but nothing that makes it unplayable. The game pad makes it a bit awkward though cause the controller is a bit massive for shooters.

Mannn, thanks for the heads up. I'm from europe so we have different stores, but I could swear that I saw the game for a similar price so i'm definitly getting it. And I really gotten used to the gamepad with zombi u so no worries i think.

I've only owned The Dark Knight on blu-ray (bought it used), so I'm really looking forward to the set. I love the presentation and the cover art. The BB logo in the TDK logo in the TDKR logo is a cool touch.

How does the online work on 3DS? You need the Wii U to play online?

I'd need your IM or something so I could join you...since it's hard to organise it on forums (I don't always come on due to life/work), so it'd be cool to go online with you on it if we have some type of contact. XD

Also, my "From Up on Poppy Hill" has shipped....and I have been hyped on that film since 2012, but Ghibli tend to be very up and down with me..so I am hoping it's not "I'm Down on Shitty Hill" really.

Aw I thought you meant for the WII U. Yeah if you wanna play online on the 3ds there is said to be a workaround for that but I don't think you'll wanna go through that. I will say that the game shines mostly online when you are slaying a monster together. Would've been great :P

Another one for Pokemon--Pokemon Y.

I'm finding it difficult to pace Pokemon Amie and Super Training, because more often than not I just want to blaze through dungeons and routes. I think I've been decent at it so far. It's easier since I'm early in the game, and don't have to deal with intensely focusing on a party of six since I'm sticking with about four or five for now.

In the end I plan to stick with the starters I chose (froakie and bulbasaur) but I'll be interested to see what other Pokemon I end up with. The Fletchinder that I got recently is a godsend for my team's type coverage.

Routes feel quite small in this game. However, this game is full of features and none feel all that stupid (except for maybe the PR video).

Metroid Figurine from Figma...even if Other M sucks, the figure is so amazing!

Before that, I bought the wrong Emma: A Victorian Romance episode on the PSN store...and why the hell is it subbed instead of dubbed like the American version? <_<

That really make a lot of sense...an anime based on England, release it in America with Japanese dubs only and DON'T release it here....okay then, don't take advantage of that Downton Abbey fad then...

The most expensive glasses here in the UK I have seen is £200, but you usually get discounts so it comes at around 50% of the price....$360 is a lot of money just to see through some specialised glass. >_<

Yeah tell me about it, not very happy about what i had to spend to get these. I was thinking about getting contact lens, but those are even worse. They would've cost me about $450. The good thing is i won't need to upgrade for a few years.

LOL! It hasn't arrived yet. Should be here tomorrow. However, Lauren and I will be playing it once it comes in. I always used to avoid sports titles because I had zero interest in sports, but Lauren's made them enjoyable for me, so I'm buying up a bunch. They're so fuckin' cheap. Space Jam was a whopping $5.99 complete. A lot of the World Series titles are even cheaper. I'd also like to do a big NBA Jam comparison for GEN/32X/SAT.

Here's hoping Space Jam isn't as bad as the movie. Acclaim has a questionable history for me, so there's a chance it will suck the sweat off a dead man's balls.

It was apparently a really popular anime during some...recent season. Summer or Autumn. I never watched it myself but I remember seeing avatars for it a lot featuring the main character.

And I've seen Baccano! Watch the dub if you can, it's really good. The anime can be hard to follow because of how the story is told, but it's lots of fun.

I did! Really looking forward to the book. It'll be much bigger than originally thought, thanks to all the additional money they have. I really expect something special when the book releases.

Also, we have the Not Enough Rings book on the way this month, and apparently Redux: Dark Matters for the Dreamcast is due next month.

Watched Black Butler before and that was pretty weird overall given how dark the humour was.

Pre-Ordered the Dragon's Crown Elf for a figurine (around £60 it will be), since I am hooked on Dragon's Crown! (Level 99 Elf who defeated the Last Boss within 4 minutes!)

I just recently got a Vita on impuls for 100 euro. Really awesome Hardware and OS was my first impression. After a couple of days I do start to scratch my head how it has existed for 3 years. I have a hard time picking a game I want so if anyone can recommend me some it would be great. Right now i'm looking at soul sacrifice and puppeteer. I was probably gonna get gravity rush as well but I didn't like the demo. Anything else I should be looking at?

The port of All Stars Racing Transformed is pretty good!

I am currently playing Deception IV, which is a sadistic Strategy game where you lure poor souls into traps that you set off one after another which is hilarious to do!  ;D

I recently pre-ordered Freedom Wars from VGP for $30 as well which is supposed to be like Attack on Titan and Gods Easter Burst rolled into one!

Uncharted can be good but watch out for the Touch Screen QTEs for the Final Boss. >_<

Lastly, get Dragon's Crown....it's an AMAZING Hack n Slash looting game. Almost put 100 hours into it myself!  ;D

Thanks for all the title names, nameless. A quick look at the psn store and not a lot caught my attention. Having tried some demo's I think I don't want soul sacrifice anymore. I already have monster hunter on wii u and that game seems better so I already have a fix for that type of game. So neither god eater or freedom wars at the moment.

Let me reiterate my question. If I could only get one game, which one should I get? With so many gameplatforms right now I really cant add too many games  to the list before I finish some of them lol.

What do you think of monkey ball? Kind of liked the demo even tho I hear nobody talk about it like ever. What about ys?

Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (Gamecube) - 12 - Great price on this one, very pleased.
Dick Tracy (1990 film) DVD - 3.33 - I saw this one on TV years ago and remember liking it a lot so I'm glad to have finally tracked a copy down.

I love Dick Tracy! I still need to snag the bluray. Have you played the Genesis version? Developed by the Shinobi team, it plays very similarly, trading up horses for cars and including the machine gun mechanic.

I think that was one of my first Mega Drive games, it was ROCK HARD. Even when we bought it the lady was talking to my dad and my dad said "Is this game good?". The lady looked at 5 year old me and asked "Is he good?". The game was so much fun even though it was tough.

I came back to it years and years later as an adult thinking, 'hey here's that game that was tough when I was a kid' and guess what, it's still ridiculously hard. Great game though. The music is an underrated OST especially!!

Also, I bought this game in Australia when prices were outrageous for video games. I think it was about $125 or something.


On topic: Last thing I spent money on... Groceries.. How exciting! A dozen eggs, salad, steaks and chicken breast. I'm trying to tone up and have been lifting weights/changing my diet. Seems to be going well so far.

Yeah, I like it a lot better than the Burton Batman films from that era. Dick Tracy was actually one of the first Genesis games I owned. I bought it complete at a Funcoland for 3.99 in the Summer of 00 because I saw a screenshot on the back of a TJ&E poster and thought it looked interesting. I don't think I knew it was based on a movie at the time. The music is simple yet so catchy. I resolved to beat the game a few years later. That dock stage near the end was nuts. I remember my strategy was to walk a few steps, wait for an enemy to appear, dust them off, then repeat. Just to avoid getting overwhelmed.

That shooting gallery segment in-between levels is pretty fun too.

I picked up tickets to a Ring of Honor/New Japan wrestling show in Toronto next month.
I'm really hoping Shinsuke Nakamura shows up.


After seeing his match against Kota Ibushi this year, I'm convinced he's one of the greatest wrestlers of all time.

Japan-only you mean? I would say Shining Force III Trilogy, but you also need the english translation patch. If you can figure all that out, then it's one of my favourite games, and probably the best RPGs I've ever played. I just played those on an emulator, thought that was much easier.

For something easier, Xmen vs Street Fighter? Maybe some of the KoF games that didn't get released here (I believe 95 and 97 at least) or Darkstalkers.

Not too familiar with other Japan only games, I always had a PAL machine.

Oh, any Saturn games at all!? WELL THEN:

Shining Force III - Essential, some of the best games I've ever played

Panzer Dragoon/Zwei - Amazing rail shooters, some of the finest graphics on the system. The art and music in particular are phenomenal.

Sonic Jam - Best compilation disc ever, worth it for Sonic 3D World alone (kind of a proto demo for 3D Sonic). The Mega Drive games on this aren't emulated, they are actually ports!

Fighters Megamix - I'm not saying VF2 or FV because you can get better versions of them now on XBLA/PSN. Fighters Megamix is a great crossover game and a great celebration of AM2's franchises.

Sega Rally Championship - Probably the best racing game on the system.

Die Hard Arcade/Dynamite Cop - One of my all time favourite brawlers. Play with a friend and see how far you can get on just 4 credits.

Guardian Heroes - The best the best the best the best the best scrolling fighter ever. Also on XBLA which actually might be easier to play.

2D Fighters - Saturn was the king of 2D fighters, anything SNK and Capcom is usually a safe bet.


There's so many more I could list, but that should do you for now :p Any genres in particular you enjoy?

You might be wondering, "Moody! How much did you pay for all this? Saturns are like 40-80 dollars nowadays!" Well I'll tell you how much I paid.

I only had twenty bucks on me! I've got both albums now though, so I'm pretty happy. I imagine deluxe versions of them would be pretty expensive/rare.

What is all y'all's favorite Gorillaz tracks? I'd have to go with "Some Kind of Nature", "Plastic Beach", "November Has Come", "Revolving Doors" and "Tomorrow Comes Today".

I'm really annoyed that Phase 3 never received a dvd or blu-ray or even digital release...

My favorite tracks are a difficult thing to narrow down, but my favorite ALBUM, is bar none The Fall. I know a lot of people don't like it, but considering I'm a big fan of electronic music, I really enjoy it. It also just...resonates with me, emotionally. I dunno why.

But coming right down to it, I think my fave track from each album would be Gravity on Gorillaz, Left Hand Suzuki Method on G-Sides, O Green World on Demon Days, Hongkongaton on D-Sides, Broken on Plastic Beach, and Hillbilly Man on The Fall.

It was a genuine question, I don't know much about W10. So it's actually faster than W7&8? I remember when 8 first launched, most people suggested to stick with 7, I thought it might have the same teething problems with 10.

I understand a lot of new games are W10 only?

September was a weird month for me.


It was bad enough for my Toshiba laptop to be out of commission for a month, because I had to fix the TFT screen (which cost me about 80 bucks to fix, also mail is slow in August). It was made even worse by the fact that 2 weeks later after I got my laptop back (happy as happy can be), the graphics card completely fries my motherboard (onboard graphics cards will do that, apparentely).


So I got myself a new laptop. An HP laptop (the Asus model I wanted was sold-out). A Core I5, Geforce 820M model, 6 GBs Ram, 1TB HDD disc.


I'm partally upset because of the suddeness of it all, plus had to borrow some money from my folks, which I'm currentely paying off, but hey at least I got a new laptop which was something I was planning on anyway. So some good came out of it.

Since I did this only today...I'll repost what I said to a friend.

So I bought these items during a promotion, and you won't believe how much I have saved on top of things like Quidco and the 10% off voucher.

Paid £90 for three animes. One of them will get me £5.25 worth of points (25x point promotion) on top of £1.63 from Quidco (if it goes through).

I already have £3 worth of points anyway, so it'll be bumped to £8.25 by the end of it.

Two of the Anime's cost £71.19 (The blu ray costs like £52 on it's own), but they had a 10% promotion as well, so I got it discounted to £64.71 (£7.19) ON TOP OF £17.70 worth of points to come.

I also did a few claims into Quidco as I never got 6 items tracked, which equates to £7.39 in savings, so overall I have about...£25.25 worth of points and will save about £9.90 on quidco, on top of that discount of £7.19.

£42.34 savings!

silver iphone 6s and selling my soul (credit score) to tmobile in the process of such. was sick of virgin mobile (sprint's network) constantly droppinng out on me and decided it was time to finally switch networks, and I wanted to try iOS out too. It's pretty nice, it was really weird at first, things are certainly different compared to Android, especially after being very used to how Android works, but I'm adjusting, and really liking it. Granted my Android phone was really cheap and the iphone is much more powerful, its really nice having a smooth phone where things arent freezing up and applications randomly closing on me due to all the RAM being used.

tmobile convinced me to sign up for their leasing program, so i can switch phones whenever i want up to 3 times a year. i figured i might as well with how fast phones come out, but if i really like my iphone 6s i can eventually own it if i dont trade it in before a certain month. iPhone 7 is already rumored to be water proof though! Really enjoying iOS and don't see myself wanting to switch back to Android anytime soon.

Only negative at the moment is the proprietary connector, but it also seems to be faster (and charges much faster) than standard USB. I'm sure USB-C fixes that issue though, but hey, it's Apple, they are all about proprietary connections. knew i was getting into that mess.

Finally caved in and bought Tales of Zestiria.


I need a JRPG so badly it hurts! I was tempted to get Final Fantasy Type-0 HD, but went with this one instead.

I've spent over 15k on my wedding and house furniture. It's insane the amount of money you can spend on such simple things, yet I feel I'm cheaping out on most things.

I bought some Sonic 3 Life Savers off eBay. Still waiting for the package to arrive. :P

Also bought a new iMac, as my old one was from 2008 and was failing on me. New one is so fast! 5k monitor, top of the line. I can finally do work and site stuff with ease.
