Sorry man, that was a reply to the DS coasters on the last page. If I listed all my own Cave tat this thread would be about sixteen pages longer.

I'm thinking I'll smooth it down and live with the hard lines it will result in, and try to find some NOS art. Don't expect that will be very easy mind.

Gwendolyn was done by the same company, she sits near my HDTV. http://www.foobarbaz.jp/figure/review20 ... gwendolyn/

There's also a Velvet one, not made by Alter but it still looks pretty good. http://www.foobarbaz.jp/figure/review20 ... to_velvet/

The pic I posted was a bit blurry, here's another from my blog:

What was it like playing that many Mega Man games in a row? Are you going to play the new one and see how you do on the scoreboards?

Lots of fun, I think I'll play some of the X series through again now. It's kind of emo story wise, but the gameplay is rock (pun intended) solid.

I've gone through 9/10 on Hard mode and all the DLC(just too lazy to cap their menu screen titles from the Wii and put them in the photos), the scoreboards seem mostly related to completion times so I worked on getting achievements. The Dual Devil from 9 is probably one of the hardest bosses from the original series that I can think of, it requires perfect pattern recognition if you're trying to beat it without e-tanks. 9 in general is a lot more unforgiving than 10, or the rest of the series but the challenge makes it all the more sweet to conquer.

Nice 2nd pic! Still really digging that! :D I like when an anime/game statue allows me to appreciate a quality rendition of the character without feeling dirty. So many cool female anime characters out there, but most often are portrayed borderline (or much worse) distastefully. This one is not.

Not really feeling the Gwendolyn statue. I saw an uber dope one a while back, but have no clue who it was made by or if it was even a full production statue. That Velvet statue has quality on par with the fairy. Pretty much straight out of the game. Unfortunately a bit scandalous for display, but quality work, nonetheless.

Don't forget this semi-dull obscurity:

Not too shabby a little game.. if you like Monopoly. probably ranks below say, Rockman Battle and Chase, but above Rockmans Soccer for random spin off titles.

Been taking motorcycle lessons, and I don't enjoy the shifting and handling of the bikes as much as I thought I would. But I got an endorsement on my driver's license now, so.....

2008 Kymco Bet & Win 250. Lovely ride, night and day between this and my China-moto (not to say the Lifan wasn't oodles of fun, though). Smooth & stable, comfortable, quiet, zippy, and loaded with luxury features. Can hardly wait to slap on a windscreen and luggage box and go for a long-distance tour. Ridiculous name though, as it is with most of the rest of Kymco's product line...

I don't think Afterburner 1 exists outside of Japan, all the AB cabs I've ever seen are AB2 (throttle control is a big giveaway).

It's essential to get a mini disco ball spinning with sparkling lights when playing the ol' Dangun Feveron or Fever SOS PCB. Definitely sets the tone for the rest of the evening. Wearing that cool DF T-shirt is ace. How about donning a 'fro as well? Just dynamite, man.
