I guess the time is ripe for me to unbox my US Saturn.

Hehe, I need to get one of those like fuck, now that I just got a US Saturn [as in today].

Also, a copy of VF2 and Road Rash which came with it, but those aren't picworthy.


@Kingbuzzo:
Oooh. Thanks. I'll look into it once I figure out how I can use my laptop's internet connection with the DC modem.

I did did that in the same part of my finger one time, except I punched through a picture frame because I'm obsessed with Fist of the North Star. I guess there is a major vein there or something, or at least some girl told me that with an EMT boyfriend.

[Daigohji]

Original PS3/PC Hitbox, used, but good condition. Swapped the buttons out, bought a new USB cable.

I've never seen anything like that before. What kind of games is it intended for?

Fightan games.

Each of the buttons on the left corresponds to a joystick direction. It enables you to do certain motions much more easily than on a joystick. Like double-taps, holds, 360s. I guess it's like a keyboard/joystick hybrid.

Ones where you hit things. ZING!

Got a copy of Phantasy Star Online ver.2 for the DC for nearly no money, sealed. I should have taken a video of the unsealing, but I couldn't be arsed to.

Shame there's no way for me to connect nowadays.

Dude, tell me when you get a BBA/Dial-Up hack working and I'll play it with you.

I've almost had Fist of the North Star-related injuries. I guess that's just one more awesome point for Drauch.



Awwww shit Dreamcast goodness, hot damn.

[Stealthlurker]

Now I got 2 pairs of these! Not intentional BTW, lol.

[trap15]

Just got these in the mail! Expecting more stuff to arrive very soon as well




Huge thanks to mdl for the proxying

Getting ready for the Fourth of July. We do a big get-together at my aunt's house in a place where just about anything goes for fireworks (most cities ban them around here) and with multiple people bringing stuff, there's usually pretty crazy quantities of fireworks. Needless to say, I usually contribute a fair bit to the carnage...

[Stealthlurker]

Got a new HDTV to replace my 28" PC monitor (leftmost in the video).

Doing an weird little video test w/ Progear and 4 screens. I'm not really interested in being able display the same game on all screens, but to output any source to any screen.

Lol, loved seeing the finger wound. I've cut myself at work a couple of times like that, they bleed a lot. Supposedly, you can bleed to death from the loss of two fingers.
Mrsmiley- what's the stuff next to Under Defeat in that pic?

On the left is the Under Defeat poster, on the right in Gunlord Dragon box Edition, with badass stickers and postcard. It's pretty rad.

Had my belated birthday party this Saturday. So I got some things!



Except for Devil May Cry HD Collection, these were all gifts. DMC was half a gift, because I actually got two copies of PSP Little Big Planet, so I went and traded one of them in and added some moneys to get that instead.

Thing with the logo at the bottom is actually a t-shirt, the logo being the logo for the first convention I ever went to - still one of the best cons I've been to.

Yes, that's the 4kids dub of One Piece. That was explicitly a gag gift.

Gotta decide where to put up that (laminated!) Touhou poster. It's probably going above the computer screen.

Not pictured because I forgot: Stack of Magic cards I got as a bonus.

A few recent gets:

Gonbes GBS-8220 & Custom Saturn RGB cable
Not exactly ideal, but it allows me to play my Saturn on my 21" Sony CRT monitor... Which in turn prevents me from buying and storing another large display.


Mayflash Fight Stick, Sanwa Bits, and Saturn V1 Control Pad
I assume you know where this is going...

DO IT

[null1024]

I like where this is going too. Also, pink buttons.

[Also, am I the only one who really really likes the Model 1 Saturn pad? Especially that d-pad, it really feels nice to my thumb...]

I think it's an easy pcb to solder on wires. Might follow gabe's path to own another joystick in my collection.

Anyhow, got this bad boy for my 500D/Rebel T1i for $200. :3

[null1024]

I guess the time is ripe for me to unbox my US Saturn.

And I just got one of these. Jeaaaaaaaah.
Now I just need Keio 2 and Assault Suits Valken 2 to come in the mail, gah.

Nice haul, need a houseguest to break those in

That is correct. The 1st gen pad is easier to deal with than the 2nd gen. Outside of modding purposes, I definitely prefer the newer pad.

Thanks, and I wouldn't be opposed to a houseguest - GR SHMUPMEET 2K12!

This was actually weeks ago, but I got a pretty good-condition used Xbox 360, 2009 manufacture date, for all of $10. Then I promptly dropped it on the floor at home. Seems to work fine, though. There is something rattling a bit (when I shake) but it might be the spring I lost (from the faceplate; the faceplate apparently took most of the brunt of the impact and the two USB slot covers were both jammed aside, but not broken).

The more I read about last gen exclusives, the more depressed I get. It's enough to make me want to find a copy of Enclave for Xbox 1 and Rygar PS2 and try to forget about some of the last few years.

Get Blood Will Tell for the PS2. It's out there. Just use double tap instead of L3 to boost once you get your leg back (don't ask) as the default setting is reportedly bad for left thumbstick. Also, Shinobi (2002).

because future is obsolete and bad 16/9 lcd...

It might also just be the orientation sensor; this drove me fucking mad when I first noticed it. I completely disassembled the xbox just to find out if it was a loose part rattling around.

The sensor has a tiny metal ball inside that sits in one position or another for horizonal or vertical orientation. I believe the optical drive also has a sensor, and that if the two don't match positions, you can get a RRoD error (not 100% sure, it was a fleeting observation I made).
