  1. Intel i5-2500K Gigabyte GTX-570 Super Overclock Series 8GB (4GB x 2) Ram Graphics settings maxed. Why?
  2. My copy of Rygar for the NES is covered with anarchy symbols, I hate whoever owned it last. -_- I'll post some pics of the fail that it is when I find my missing camera.
  3. Anyone here have any experience with the Caanoo? Was reading about them today and they sound really cool.

      I actually recently got one and it is really awesome. The only problem I have is the website fungp.com is hard to navigate. I use dl.openhandhelds.com.

      so what can they emulate, and why get one over a psp?

      I do not know much about psp, but the caanoo can emulate all this:http://dl.openhandhelds.org/cgi-bin/caanoo.cgi?0,0,0,0,5. It also plays movies, has an app store, music, and can read ebooks and pdfs

  4. I'd tell the seller tough shit. I once sold a lego monorail on ebay that went for a lot less then I was expecting. The last couple I'd seen sell sold for $200-300 in identical condition and completeness. Mine went for $126. I manned up and shipped it out without one complainet, so yeah tough shit to him.
  5. Traded her a NOS TurboGrafx-16 controller for a new copy of Star Ocean: First Departure for the PSP. Game arrvied quickly and well packed and I'm very happy with it and would gladly do business with her again.
  6. Not a bad day, work went by quickly today and afterwards I went to a very delayed chirstmas party with my coworkers my boss was throwing. After that got sushi with my 2 best friends to celebrate one of their birthdays. :)

  7. I know nothign about this game you posted but damn I wish I'd found that site when I was looking for T2K and Cannon Fodder for my Jag.
  8. Seriously Razer? You lose my keyboard after I sent it in for an RMA? Really? If they don't get this shit sorted fast this will be the first and last product I ever buy from them because shit like this is not acceptable.

  9. If you don't find one on here I highly recommend you give the guy that runs this site, www.multimods.com, an email. I recently bought a region modded PC Engine Duo-R from him and I could in no way be happier with his service. If your a member of PCengineFX he goes by the user name D-lite.
  10. Searching Neo Geo CD on yahoo auctions... the temptation is painful...

      Don't do it man, don't do it! You just bought a Turbo DUO! Don't overwhelm yourself, lol.

  11. Its possible to beat that game?! I can never get behind the 3rd area, there are so many things that hit you that are seemingly impossible to dodge.
  12. No worries I remember I had talked to you abou buying a NGPC back then but at the time I was absolutely broke so I in the end decided to pass for the time being. One will pop up eventually, I only just started looking, I'm a patient man I've happily spent months looking for some stuff before. hahaha
  13. Gonna give this a go tonight after work I think. Also gonna go back and try and set a score for missile command even if I can't post it since I totally failed and forgot to play it when that round was going.
  14. I found my old pogs from elementary school in a box a few months back. Pogs were awesome back in the day.
  15. The thrill of the hunt is part of it for me. I enjoy tracking things down and getting the best deal possible when possible and not resorting to over priced BIN ebay listings. Its very satisfying to find something you have wanted for a long time but for what ever reason haven't bought yet because condition was either terrible or the price was. My Duo-R for example took me months to find at a price and condition I was happy with, after looking in many places and posting listings on forums I eventually came across a fairly low key site through a google search run by a member of PCengineFX who rarely posts on the forums, he not only sold consoles but also offered them at different price levels(boxed, non boxed, modded, unmodded and combos of the above). After about a month of back and for emails I became the proud owner of a boxed(though not CIB, need to track down the paper work) of a PC Engine Duo-R with a region mod. My next hunt I'm thinking will be for a Neo Geo(likely CD, as infinitely cooler as the AES is the cart prices are terrifying) but I'm gonna give myself some time to enjoy what I have before I start looking in earnest. But its not just the hunt I love, its the social aspect as well, I enjoy posting on forums and discussing the hobby with the great folks on AtariAge and other forums. Its fun to talk to like minded people on here, as outside my little brother and the people that run my local independant retro stores I just don't know anyone else who has a passion for the older stuff. I've talked with my coworkers about it before when they have asked but they were baffled why I'd want to play older games when I own a 360. Another fun aspect of the social part is finding out through word of mouth about games and sometimes consoles I've never even heard of and discovering a gem.
  16. You know, there is something to this who early to bed early to rise thing. Went to bed at mid night last night, as opposed to my usual 2am. This morning I've actually gotten to read and finish all the news articles I wanted, have a real breakfast, run a few short errands, and I still have an hour and a half before work, awesome!

      The downside is you get tired earlier, so technically there's a trade-off.

      Perhaps we are getting old, but I too am getting into the "bed by midnight" thing. It's definitely got benefits...

  17. When I first read about the game thats what the review I read mentioned, it said that you could easily get it for next to nothing on ebay. A quick check after showed that was not the case anymore.
  18. You know what I'd do? Buy something from him on ebay and neg the shit out of him. On a serious know though the guy is a total tool for doing that to you. Its not even an expensive item, where it $200 item I could see complaining IF there was a legitimet problem which from looking at your listing is most definitely not the case, you were in the right here 100%.
  19. Can anyone recommend some good PSP puzzle games? Getting bored of Lumines and Lemmings...

    1. Austin

      Austin

      Gunpey, Ultimate Block Party, Bust-A-Move, Puzzle Guzzle

    2. Austin

      Austin

      (Those should all be extremely cheap, under $5 a pop, with maybe Bust A Move being an exception)

      I just emailed the guy, he is shipping it to me tomorrow. Paid him gift paypal already.

  20. Until you actually use it as a phone, then you get to explain to people why you are talking into a silver taco.
  21. Best I'd say its a between the Neo Geo AES and the PC Engine Duo-R. Both are low, sleek and drop dead sexy. The Duo-R gets a slight lead though since the AES looks rediculous once a cart is inserted. Worst Easy, the original Nintendo Famicom, its oddly shapped and absolutely garishly colored.
  22. List updated, TG16 controller traded, Pokemon Sapphire sold and EotB pending sale!
  23. Looking for a loose copy of Faselei! for the Neo Geo Pocket color, must be in English and loose is prefered. That is unless you want to pass on a nice complete UK copy for a steal. lol
