Another game to remain in plastic for possibly ever.

Was without good headphones for over a year and violent metal never sounded better. More comfortable than they looked. Would spring for the 325s some other year.


Wasn't sure about this book for some reason, but hot damn. Hours of staring time ahead.

And pounds of more dates. Sometimes happiness is stuff.

[JBC]

Oh baby, oh yeah.

Shmups IRC never looked better.

Pix aren't really necessary for this but I consider it an awesome find - I found a bundle of 5 Genesis games still in their boxes with the tabs attached for $10 today. The games aren't any special find, but I can swap out McShitty Box for pristine ones when I find a great game in bad condition.

Received my briarwood balltop from Sanwa yesterday. Not really sure where to use it. Doesn't feel entirely right on a NAC. Also a little disappointed with the finish. It's too dark (and dull) for my taste but a cool little gadget nonetheless



Looks kinda like an avocado, doesn't it?

2 Hori Fighting Commander 4's dropped at my place yesterday.



I got these mainly for USF4 and GGXRD, and for the other fighting games I have for my PS3, as the standard Playstation d-pad shreds my thumbs when trying to do any sort of rolling motion, and I never liked the 4 face button/2 shoulder button arrangement, even back in the SNES days I would buy the Genesis version of the game because I preferred the 6 button controller Sega made.

Anyways, quick review... the manual is entirely in japanese so I'm not sure what some buttons do, but the D-pad is excellent (not sure why you'd want to rotate it) and the option to remap your L2/R2 buttons to the R1/R2 positions is brilliant. I also thought the assymetric body would be weird but it's totally natural. The only thing is that it's clearly designed for the PS4, and while it works on PS3, the PS button doesn't... so if you want to exit a game or something, you have to reach over to your standard Dualshock 3 and push the PS button on that. Minor detail but considering how well thought out the controller is otherwise... it's a glaring oversight.

Swedish DVD of The Wind Rises was bought at the con here in town last weekend 'cause I collect Swedish DVD releases of Ghibli movies, and Bayonetta 2SE landed in the mailbox today, bought off a guy on a Swedish gaming forum.

The perceptive reader would know I never posted a picture of me getting a Wii U, and that's 'cause I don't have one yet, planning on getting one after Christmas. Got the game in advance 'cause it let me get it for cheaper and it took 8 days between me posting the WTB topic and actually getting the game from the seller who contacted me, and if I had the system I naturally wouldn't have wanted to wait 8 days before getting a game for it but now I could save some moneys. And Bayonetta 2 is the Wii U game I've been the most hype for, so that's nice.

^Nice! Thought about getting that, but I've blown enough already on figures this year. Would really like to get the Elf as well for my PVC kingdom.

[Necronopticous]

I preordered the Elf as well. Can't wait!

[Sly Cherry Chunks]

but what does it do?



Fully Transformable Antagonistic Videogame Console

[BIL]

Now DATS COOL

(that's a real Sanic cart though right? can never be too careful with antagonistic game equipment)

[JBC]

Wow!

Edit - Also I lucked out & all the cheapy 64 carts I picked up on vaycay are working (after a scrub that is)

Spoiler

Nothing special, but I am surprised to find that War Gods is like a strange Mortal Kombat spinoff by Midway with similar music, visuals, & thematic elements. I'm pretty sure I remember it being frowned upon at release, but I just collect these for nostalgic value.

[Sly Cherry Chunks]

(that's a real Sanic cart though right? can never be too careful with antagonistic game equipment)

No.

[BIL]

Aww sheeeit! So cool, even has the usual notch in the side.

[Nana]

That's the coolest thing I've ever seen. Where did you get it?

[Xyga]

There's a golden version around, with a Bare Knuckle cart. *drool*

[null1024]

got Tales a few weeks ago but put it in the picture anyway

Yesterday, I got Project Diva F2nd and some headphone stuff [Y-splitter, M-M cable].

[RaidenViper]

Got my copy of Fighting Climax for the Vita today

GDEMU - an SD card solution for Dreamcast, I love it : )

Never heard of this, and orders are apparently closed.

Xmas morning in Japan! The best gift I got was from a 70-year old woman (mom) with a note attached:

I hear japanese people read a lot of comic books on the train, and I didn't want you to feel left out. I found this transformers book at Barnes & Nobel.

**sniff** thanks mom. <3

[BIL]

Aww!

And Transformers?! SHAWEET <333 That must be the JAPANESU OPTIMUS PRIME "Convoy" who's in that crummy Famicom game!
