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

[KindGrind]

Treated myself to a few more SNES carts!

[Stompp]

Some new doujin stuff landed today

The Grimoire of Marisa by ZUN


Symposium of Post Mysticism by ZUN


Continuing to add to the Touhou collection


Treated myself to a few more PC games


Last but not least (and here I promised myself not to buy any more kits )

[RaidenViper]

Yay, finally got my Rikka figure that I pre ordered earlier this year

a little disappointed that the stand does not look the same as the one on the stock photos. overall a nicely detailed figure by Kotobukiya.

Still new to flight stick(s) myself, but I keep recommending Thrustmaster T.Flight HOTAS Stick X. No force feedback, but that's the worst of it. For the price, it packs everything. (Works with PS3 games in "PS3 mode", if you are into that.)

I've got one of these coming too, one of my clanmates is posting this to me but I was concerned about the number of buttons available; It doesn't seem to have very many. I really don't want to have to take my hands off combat controls while in a dogfight.

I'm sure Dead of the Brain wasn't cheap...

[SuperGrafx]

Nothing beats complete (with spinecard) PCE games!
Nice gets there!

I've collected more of these neat-tacular Saturn mini-posters. The Steam Hearts one is up for sale, along with Twinkle Star Sprites, Purikura Daisakusen, and Sengoku Blade. I'll post something about that in the trading forum soon. You can see the gallery of scans for all these on my website at http://stevethefish.net/life/life091.htm

Landed in the mailbox yesterday, yay.

Less yay is that while I technically have a Wii U now as it's been purchased, it didn't arrive before the weekend as I had hoped it would.

[KennyMan666]

woot

The games that aren't Mario Kart are Wind Waker HD, Zombi U and Nintendoland, none of those three being games I actually care about.

Langrisser - yummi. Love Urushihara's earlier works. Before the boobs grew too big and in your face

And Wachen Röder Range Murata's character designs are top notch IMHO. If you haven't watched Last Exile yet - do it

I didn't want to buy Twilight Princess, but the least convoluted Wii softmod guide I found online recommended it, so here it is. Not that I won't deign to give the game a chance either (alas, no 60 Hz mode in PAL version, but here's hoping it's optimised).
The Outlaw Josey Wales DVD was supposed to make for a Christmas present, but didn't arrive in time. Someone's birthday is upon, though.

Of all computer games mags cover CD/DVDs I just got, I choose FreeSpace 2 and Mobile Forces discs to show you:
.
(I read FreeSpace - The Great War got back-ported to the FS2 engine, so it seems like a good place to start.)

[Strider77]

Still have a little work left for the manual etc. I had a rom hacked version burned to the cart that addresses the enemy AI issues. The port is quite good now. Better than the arcade in ways also.

[BIL]

Ah, that Japanese Game Boy boxart is so badass. Good to see it in larger format.

[drauch]

Wow, yeah; I think that's the first time I've seen that. Fuckin' killer.

There are much simpler ways to softmod a Wii that don't involve using any game. Also, every PAL Wii game runs in 60hz, you just need to set your Wii console to PAL60 mode.

I didn't /just buy/ anything but I did just leave one of my best friends with my Genesis MkII & a copy of Forgotten Worlds & Ranger-X. We played both for awhile & he was floored, mostly by the distinct play style & music of both games. He's got a few buffer carts - Sonic 2, Vectorman, Judge Dredd, & MKII. I'll pick it back up in a few weeks when I can focus my monies on fun stuff again. For now I'm paying for a lot of remodeling & won't be buying any new Genny carts soon.

When he first showed up at my place tonight I was playing House Of The Dead 4 on PS3. I set him out on Time Crisis: Razing Storm & he loved it. He wasn't very good but I could tell he had fun. The guy has nothing out where he lives so playing an arcade light gun game at home with a proper setup was probably cathartic. I'm just glad I finally got to share some of the cool stuff I've got.

Also, every PAL Wii game runs in 60hz, you just need to set your Wii console to PAL60 mode.

I'm afraid it's not true. The ones that do say so on the back of the box and Twilight Princess doesn't. Moreover, I seem to recall NSMB Wii flat-out saying it was 50 Hz-only.

While we're at it, the original Xbox PAL wouldn't run every PAL game in 60 Hz either. Oh, and some Wii games (Monster Hunter Tri, Kororinpa) are interlaced-only even though you set Wii to progressive scan outside of a game.

Nowhere on Twilight Princess' cover does it say the game is 50hz only, either. NSMB Wii does have 60hz mode, I have that game myself.

You indeed were right that not every PAL Wii game can run at 60hz, but the only list I found doesn't mention Twilight Princess. I did, however, find a mention of Twilight Princess in same forum in the 60hz game list.

Went to Singapore and Indonesia over the holidays and found a counterfeit Captain America action figure so terrible I couldn't help buy buy it:





Coming back home I had some time to kill in Akiba before heading home, and I scored this cool Vic Viper model kit from a dingy junk store near Amusement Tower. The guy was trying to get rid of stuff and gave it to me for just over 1000 yen.
