  1. I think its time to bust out the Robot Jox DVD.

      I KNEW there was someone else who saw that movie!

      Not only saw but adored, its one of my favorite movies!

  2. Heard Star Trek Online was now freee to play, downloading now to check it out. :P

      ...or not, downloaded it and was then asked for a CD key WTF??? It said right on the front page it was free to play, oh well.

      It's free starting Jan 17th

  3. 1) PC Engine Duo-R w/ region mod and original box. Long time want of mine but never thought I'd own a Duo since it never occured to me to get a Japanese one, I always looked at US Duo's with their crazy prices and let my wallet make the decision not to buy one. haha So when I found out that a Duo-R was a viable option since they have no region lock on CD games I started looking into them and found the site of a guy who sells them as well as offers modding services. So I decided to finally go for it, after like a month or 2 of back and forth emails with him I settled on what I wanted (Boxed Duo-R w/ matching controller and region mod) and what games I wanted. Since I was buying a ton he hooked me up with a ton of reasonably priced games and even a free Ten No Koe bank card. I couldn't be happier with the console, its an absolute blast to to play and looks freaking boss sitting on my shelf when I'm not using it. 2) Atari Jaguar. This was my first Atari console not counting my Lynx II. Was always curious about the console but seeing as the only ones I ever saw for sale where either beat to hell and filthy or outrageously expensive, I never looked seriously into getting one. But once I got my Lynx my interest in them and Atari in general came back and when I found and joined this forum and once I discovered I could buy a NOS one for a reasonable price from a reputable source I went for it. Yeah the console nor its games are perfect or close to it but it is what it is and its pretty damn cool. 3) SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color. Technically I got this in 2012 but seeing as it was first offered to me in trade during the final days of 2011 I consider it a 2011 addition. I remember when these where still in stores always thought they were cool but never spent my allowance on one as I knew even then it didn't have a chance in the long run and I didn't want to get stuck with something I couldn't get games for. I even talked my little brother out of buying one I was so confident it would fail. Sadly I was right and it vanished, even then I still kind of wanted one. So ever since then I'd periodically look into one and then forget about it when I invariably couldn't find one for a reasonable price, in acceptable condition or I was broke. lol So when atari2600land offered me his I bit. It cost me Astal for my Saturn and Doom for my Jag but it was worth it. I was shocked at how playable King of Fighters and Samuari Showdown where on it. I'd always heard it was insanely perfect for fighters but never really believed it could be that much better then fighters on any other handheld, man was I wrong. lol I'm over all very impressed with the NGPC it far exceeded my expectations. If I could have a 4th pick my PSP would get it.
  4. Super peeved right now, today my new Razer Black Widow Ultimate Stealth arrived, just unpacked it to set it up only to discover that it is warped, as I type it wobbles side to side which would be absofuckinglutely unacceptable on a cheapo keyboard let alone one that cost $140. >:(

      Your sure the surface your using it on isn't slightly warped? Heh just a thought...

    2. A_Locomotive

      A_Locomotive

      Already thought of that and tested that theory out. :P I had a normal Black Widow Ultimate for a short time before I bought this one and it sat rock solid in the exact same spot on my desk.

      ACrystal2011

      maybe the other keboard warped to fit the desk :P

  5. Advent Rising for th Xbox is definitely one of the worst I've ever bought, bought it on launch before its buggy nature was known. Took a VERY long time to beat it, not because it was hard but because the number of game breaking glitches I encountered were staggering.
  6. Well not always lol. Great game but man does the boxart look dumb, its pretty much all the fault of the dude in the center, if he actually looked the dude you play it wouldn't be so annoing to look at.
  7. Just drank my last Red Bull Cola. Sad that I'll likely never again drink one since its out of production and I haven't seen one in stores in months. Good by my favorite soda. :(

      If they all were standard ingredients, can't you just get your hands on a CO2 canister, and make some more?

      Haha I wish, but they don't exactly have a recipe I could follow, who knows what the ratios where or how they where prpped and used.

      I loved this soda dearly, and miss it severely. I haven't been able to find it around here for over a year. Best soda ever.

  8. I've emailed this guy a few times trying to get him to seperate it(I want a couple games and that banner) but he will only sell it all together. :/
  9. Anyone ever take apart a Neo Geo Pocket Color? I want to disassemble mine and give it a good scrub to remove the years of dust and grime in its seams. Anything I should know before opening it up?

      It's extremely easy to open up. Just unscrew all visible screws and pop the analog nub off with a plastic putty knife and you're good to go.

  10. Loving my new NGPC. :)

  11. My most recent horror story. For last 3 nights I made it a habit of playing Columns on my PSP(from the Sega Genesis collection) for an hour or 2 before bed, when I finished up for the night I paused and put the PSP into sleep mode and then picked up where I left off the following night, I had managed to get in a really good rhythm and could probably have continued on till the score maxed out, sadly a late night phone call last night startled me and broke my concentration and I didn't think to hit pause before it was to late(was quite close to the top of the screen working on building a big combo), I wasn't able to recover but oh well, so I entered my intials and went to bed, then last night I went to start over and beat that score(it was somewhere between 2-2.5 million or so), I screwed up fairly early on and got a game over... only to see I'd set the high score. Turns out the game wasn't saving my scores so all that work for nothing. I've looked around in the settings and for the life of me can't figure out how to make it save my scores.
  12. LMAO Wow! A photo of my brother and I made it into a cracked photoshop contest. Thats my brother in the orange shirt on the right and me next to him in the grey shirt. Photo wasn't taken by us or anyone we know and that had to have been taken at least 2-3 years ago as he hasn't worn his hair like that for a very long time. http://i.crackedcdn.com/phpimages/photoshop/6/4/5/109645.jpg?v=1

  13. There is an Atari Tempest arcade machine for free(though broken) on my local Craigslist. Of course I know no one with a vehicle that could help me get it. :( I know nothing about arcade machines but damn would I love to tinker with that and try and fix it.

    1. A_Locomotive

      I emailed the guy about it to ask for dimensions. I'm hoping its not to big. If its small enough I'm going to see about borrowing my Moms station wagon to pick it up.

  14. Could you post a photo by any chance? I've always been curious what it looked like under the label.
  15. My favorite era is 16 bit and the generation following it with the Playstation and N64... lol what is this generation referred as??? I have the most fond memories from these generations and have the most favorite games from them as well.
  16. Haha experienced fighting a giant for the first time today. Stumbled upon him and his mammon near witchmist. Initially tried killing him out in the open but being at a low level I did very little damage before he creamed me and smashed me a mile into the sky. So I then decided to try pressing his buttons once I noticed that he didn't attack on site. I did this by repeatedly ran into his camp and stole all his shit bit by bit. Once I stole his mammoth cheese though he started chasing me, after much running away I found a rock he could get very close to me but couldn't hit me from and I just filled his head with arrows. lol Then did this same to his mammoth though that took much longer. Speaking of witchmist are all the witches automatically hostile or did the witch there only get pissy because I killed the witch Anise near Riverwood?
  17. Just got done watching Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind, one of the only Miyazaki films I've never seen, bought it today with a gift card I got for christmas. Now to play some Skyrim. :]

  18. Just got this today and I am loving it! Playing a stealthy very lightly armored argonian archer/thief, very pleased with the way the bow works in this game, in past elderscrolls titles they never where much fun to me, at lower levels they had seemingly no stopping power and piss poor accuracy, but in this one I just love popping people in the head from long range with my gals bow and getting stealthy one shot kills. And with the ability to melee with your bow in close quarters the need for a back up weapon if the enemy gets close no longer seems as necessary(though still carrying an shield and short sword just incase), which just means more stuff for me to steal. I just finished up the quest to retrieve the golden claw and man was it fun, really loved the dungeon design, can't wait to see the later ones.
  19. Got Skyrim for christmas, bye bye free time. lol

      Haha probably not, just got done doing that quest to retrieve the golden claw. Playing a stealthy Argonian archer and am very happy to see the bow is a much more viable weapon then it was in past games.

  20. Awesome I think I got food poisoning for christmas...

      Make sure you write your letters to Santa legibly so things like this don't happen!

      Take some apple cider vinegar; about two tablespoons diluted in a glass of water. It tastes gross, but it can clear up ailments like this remarkably well.

  21. Came so close to beating Psychic Storm with my buddy, taking turns we got to the final stage with three continues. The final stage totally kicked our ass though, we couldn't get to the ginal boss with more then 2 bars of life so he killed us each time before we even had a chance to figure him out.

  22. Why is Jeff Dunham popular??? I'm watching him on TV right now and haven't laughed or even smiled once, he just keeps making terrorism jokes that fall flat everytime, the audience doesn't even seem to be laughing, just cheering because he made a crack about Osama being dead.

      His stuff towards the end got better but it wasn't so much funny as it was ridiculously impressive ventriloquism.
