WHY WASN'T I TOLD?
Does this game keep score? I'm looking at youtube (it looks pretty good) and I don't really see a score counter. :x

Sadly, no. I recorded some gameplay if you like:

The games finally arrived after two months of waiting and almost losing hope that they'll show up at all... Turned out that the lady at the post office at moh's place checked the checkbox "surface" instead of "airmail"... Yeah, it was a nice SHIPment... *lol*

The kid took 14 months to grow thus far. :P

Hey, no biggie, Mr. Dolphin man. Have a few cold ones with the extra money, I mean it. ;)

Edit: BTW, those two ports really blow me away. Arika did a great job indeed with these two gems. Really, on my tate setup, it's as playing on a the cab, I'm stoked.

Got to boss 4 on Esp on my second credit, the big screen really makes a difference.
But in DOJ, I got raeped by boss 1... I blame the booze... :P

Ah, so happy about this package today. :-)

Got a PS3 for $100, and picked up Sonic Generations so I'd have more than demos to play.
goddamnit this thing is loud
That's a bad sign. It means the PS3 is overheating, which 40GB models are notorious for. Open it up asap and replace the thermal compound. If you don't you'll get a YLoD very soon.

Nope, indeed not. That's why I took her away imediately after realising what she was doing down there. This girl has become fast, I tell you. :shock:

Lunch is the first and likely only thing I remember when I think of Dragonball. Having a figure of her is in good taste.

I really want that R9 too but I am so overwhelmed with various other wants that I have no idea how to sort my priorities anymore...

Some PSP stuff. Funny how this one picture covers pretty much all the genres I play - racing, action-platformers and shmups.

Thanks to rancor for helping me acquire the Dariusburst.

I bought one of them really nice condition in box a few years ago, which I still use to this day. One thing to watch out for, if you really hammer it and use it loads and loads the paint might start coming off where you rest your hand on it, which is what's happened to mine (not that I'm bothered, I'll never sell it).

Anyway great purchase :)

You can get a plexi overlay panel and pop some rad artwork under to cover it up :wink:

Not bought as it's a birthday present.
Birthday present which got delivered on my birthday date:

I just post a quick iPhone picture now I'm off to play the game with the same feeling as on the Arcade.
I'll post more picture(s) on this huge massive HORI Arcade Controller (this one) later.

PS/ I was expecting a big box, but this one is gigantic :shock:

That's the Pop'n Music style controller right? Yea, that is a big controller but that box is a bit overkill, haha. At least you know it's well protected.

Get ready to disappoint how they halved the framerate ingame.

I wont post image of my copy as that post has it already, but yeah i got PDF recently too. The songs are nice but the game works only half as well as the earlier games and the star notes are just stupid.
Also not very hard, most of the difficulty comes from how the notes blend in to the background unlike before. Lack of stupid fast boss song might actually be just a positive thing this time.

Got the Wii U Deluxe Bundle from Super Store for $200, thanks to my PC Points. There was also a promo, where you got a $50 gift card, for buying it, so I used it on New Super Mario Brothers U, and ended up only having to pay ~$10 for it. :)

Going to pick up Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, on the way to work. Not sure if anyone else here is picking it up, but I'll be down for a few runs during the weekend, if any one wants to party up. :)
