Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)

Those buttons ...

You press them, and ... they work! Underneath it's just a normal circular hole with a standard Cherry microswitch setup like any other non-JP button. Problem with the square ones aside from looks, is over time they start to stick - especially when kids spill coke on them. The sticks are godly of course, early model Suzo 500s, I may steal them.

Actually arrived last week, but lo and behold:

My supergun, handmade by RGB... Unfortunately, I couldn't play yet, as I'm still waiting for the soldering tin to arrive to mod my sticks. But RGBs craftmanship is truly something. Really looking forward to 1cc esprade on this thing.

The supergun:






The RGB-scart cable and the jamma-extension (with integrated kick-harness):




RGB, I think I love you.

^^That is very sexy.

[Drachenherz]

You're very sexy.

Thanks, Emph!

New R-Type figure:





For some reason the bits don't have a place of their own, though I clearly remember seeing a (prototype?) image where they could be attached to the ship itself with short prongs.



Player 1 and player 2. It's about the same size as the previous R-Type figure released.



My army is increasing.

god damn, those r-type figures are sexy.

I just got Batsugun! And last week, I got that Atari 2600 flash cart. It's really cool. It'll even run Supercharger games.

Not pictured is a 19" PVM that Kiselgof loaned me too. It works pretty well with Batsugun

[shmuppyLove]

awwwwwww yeah



It was $10, don't judge me. I'm hoping it's somewhat decent.

cool. That Harmony cart is good stuff. I like how a ton of 2600 games can fit on a small SD card.

I think you can have every 2600 game ever made (including all regional variations, bootlegs, homebrews, and whatnot) in about 50MB.

I got the Steam version for about the same price, I think it's worth at least that much.

But then I got stuck on some annoying boss fight and kind of forgot about it.

I think that sums up the experience pretty well. Those boss fights just aren't very fun, and I think I got rather far too but just couldn't be bothered...

Yeah, that sounds about right. Games tend to average around 4k.

I recently picked up a fender jazzmaster

A few SNES goodies I got from a couple members this week:

[shmuppyLove]

Ah Secret of Mana ... as soon as I shipped it off, I had to fire it up in my emulator just for old time's sake

[opt2not]

Thank you shmuppyLove! You're the best! "...around. Nothing's ever gonna keep you down..."

OLD SPICE! FUCKIN BOSS.

OLD SPICE! FUCKIN BOSS.

Clearly the most awesome thing here is the blanket.

Pocky & Rocky is a close 2nd though.

[trap15]

Just "good ending clear"ed Aoi, rank SS. Waaaaah, so cute ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆

[moh]

you know, trap, i used to think you were a pretty cool guy.

[chempop]

Now you realized he's basically a god?

[rancor]

I've gone from:

5:00pm - "This looks cool!"

7:00pm - "meh - not as good as I thought"

9:00pm - "Fuck this. Anyone want a used copy of Ginga Force?"

[Ji-L87]

Picked up some Hori sticks. The Saturn marks my first "proper" stick....if it counts as such
Wanted to know what the fuss was all about and stumbled over some good deals in rapid succession.

...turns out I still might prefer the d-pad

[CHI]
