I just 1cc'd the easy course ^_~ > the one when you always klick the defaults. i know there is a harder course, but a few stupid deaths kept me from 1ccing it.

Dreamcast (cause my old one did not survive the moving), 3 controllers, keyboard, a truckload of games for just 20€.
If somebody wants a DC controller for "free" (shipping is on you), shoot me a PM. I should have like 7 DC controllers right now.

I don´t really know why, but that is a very adorable picture. I don´t think nostalgia will ever grab me so hard that I would ever play an original GB for more than ten minutes again, it´s just such a strain on the eyes. But yeah, Solar Striker. And what a sweet cartrige Rockman has!

I never wore a watch regularly and propably never will, thanks to cellphones taking over as timetelling devices, but if I´d wear one it would be propably one of these wonderfully half-campy digital watches. These are just really cool somehow :)

I think if I did this it would have to have Mario Land in it, and I had to tilt it every time Mario jumps. Because otherwise HE WOULDN`T MAKE IT!

...and I remember playing Fortress Of Fear so intensively that the GB kept crashing from running to hot. Man, I miss those days :cry:

Relive them! A Gameboy is not expensive these days... payed 10€ for mine.
And honestly, handheld gaming just doesnt get any cooler than that.

6000 yen off Yahoo Japan. A steal. Although shipping will probably be high ($40-50), these are rare, easily moddable, and I just like them a lot.

Not yet in my paws, just a pic the seller snapped. Needless to say I'm REALLY excited for this set. The lamp shield is in that cardboard. I'm going to have big fun with this project.

Although now I see Amazon dropped the fucking price by 4500 yen 2 days after I ordered it from one of their marketplace people.

Excellent choice there.

It recently struck me as bizarre that I've never had an MP3 player, though I have a long, boring walk and bus journey to work. So I bought this on Friday:

Image

Being a new model, I had a hell of a time finding anywhere local that had it in stock. In the end I did a reserve and collect via the Argos website. I'd looked in the local branch earlier in the week and it wasn't listed in the paper catalogue, which is probably why they hadn't sold out. The main problem now is that there aren't any decent protective cases for this model yet. The Belkin website lists them all as "coming soon" -_-

My old MP3 player ran out of space, so I got one of these and a 32gb SD card:

The first thing I did when I got my current MP3 player (phone, Sony Ericsson W850i) after making sure it worked, was throw it on the floor and make sure it got some scratches. No worrying about future scratching then :)

Since this thread brought up the old GB, I got mine out, and grabbed batteries from my wiimotes to run it. It occurred to me the batteries are probably worth more than the console. (Sanyo Eneloops rule.)

Anyway, just bought a Phillips PM3055 oscilloscope on ebay. Should be fun. I was ready to buy a new soldering station, but the scope seemed more urgent. And it was cheap.

I've had the computer since February, but I just got that cute little external DVD burner yesterday. The drive is awesome, but it's what it helped me do that's way more awesome. Windows 2000 installed on a SDHC card, baby! Going to clone it over to a Microdrive later on.

With the external DVD drive, installing Win2K onto the SSD was a piece of cake, no harder than installing it on any desktop. I had slipstreamed SP4 onto the installation CD first to speed up the process, but it's a very straightforward installation, and once that was all done and booted up, it was a matter of using the ASUS support CD to install the audio/video/WLAN/etc drivers.

Getting it to boot off SDHC was a bit trickier. I used the USBoot.org tool (phases I and II) to prepare the OS for booting from USB, and then cloned the entire SSD partition to SDHC using Acronis True Image.

It is freakin' sweet, I've installed Starcraft and can run it using Alcohol 120%'s virtual CD-ROM, and also C&C Red Alert from The First Decade, they run full speed with FMVs and all that.
