  1. Ok, so I think I used all my luck for 2K14 in this ONE delivery. It was sold as defective (so, very low price), but... It's not because it's sold as defective that you can send it in a Smoby toy box with only 4 poor sheet of newspaper on each side ! But luckily, it arrived in one piece, on the contrary of the swiss STE of 2 years ago that arrived smashed into pieces.
  2. So... an untested atari STF (I wasn't even planning on getting this one, I did a bid, got outbid, got it...) I'll see what to do of it. Maybe fit the HxC in it. Dunno.
  3. So... Burnout Paradise is the hidden son of NFS ?

      Burnout is more like the step father of modern NFS games. 80% of the NFS dev team is comprised of past members of the Criterion dev team.

      Yes, it´s more like it. the similarity between this and NFS most wanted is stricking

  4. Yes, it was my first video game console. I think we got it early, like 1981 or 1982. My dad bought it... I think more for him than for me, I was 4 in 1981 ! My first video game souvenir is a car racing game. Until now I thought it was Pole Position, but now I think it was Enduro.
  5. And thanks for the information. Now I know how many I have to find in my flat since my cats played with these... (just kidding, I got it at last RGC)
  6. Colissimo is only a trademark of La Poste, maybe you could try on colissimo's site : http://www.colissimo.fr/portail_colissimo/suivre.do?language=en_EN (in English)
  7. Guys, if I remember correctly there may be an "English" flag somewhere on the tracking website. Which one are you using to track ? Colissimo ?
  8. And I received the XC12. Boxed, looks like new. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pyf5zox6stmgcq8/006_Aa1_Bw and as usual, the cat was inspecting it.
  9. ooh nice. I'll try and search for this one The current small TV I use has issues with almost everything connected on composite and SCART. It basically sometimes act like if there was interlacing, you know the one line out of two effect ? (If I'm not clear, sorry, I have a headache and it always impairs my ability to speak in English) ps : ahh cr*p. On eBay those who sell it do not ship in France... I get the feeling it will be like the German Funai A1506, the perfect LCD for A8, but hard to find...
  10. Got a XC11 made in Japan, with a few cassette games. Will not have the time to test it for a few weeks, but it looks nice. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/b9wbyayp3mo8ffb/L2UUaJu8-e (the cat in the picture is my always curious 2 years old cat)
  11. Happy Thanksgiving to all those who celebrate it. Here we celebrate the "F***ing household tax day"

  12. Shootings today in France. On Friday a guy came not the office of a TV news channel and threatened employees. Today, he went to a newspaper's office, killed a young photograph, then went to my Investment Bank Building and shot at the front door, before carjacking a car and driving back to Paris. Police lost its track.

      The good kind of boom from jay, not the bad kind of boom from the act of violence.

      Anyway, back to work.

  13. Trying to find something funny to post, but can't. Nothing bad happened but my brains is like if I had listened to an album from Diary of Dreams.

      this song always make me wanna resume playing guitar and bass.
  14. Ah. Seems I caught the flu while waiting outside in the rain yesterday for my family doctor to arrive at her office to give me a flu shot that never happened because she forgot we had an appointment.

    1. SoulBlazer

      SoulBlazer

      That's irony for you. :) Going to get my flu shot later this week.

      I don't plan on getting the flu, so I don't need a shot.

    You can add me to the list, if not already.
  16. So, today in France : Debate over e-cigs law at parliament to have them sold only at pharmacy, Debate over crowdfunding law that will require you to ID yourself to the IRS office, Former president not guilty in a case of unlawful campaign funding, higher taxes for firms. Please, I want a quiet country...:-/

      Good Luck.No better in US.

      Yeah. US Gov is in shut down because congress couldnt agree

  17. Tried the online mode this afternoon. Lost the first race, then has a mission to retrieve drugs, succeeded, then... the game froze. had to reset the PS3. Wil try again, later... much later.
  18. I bought it from a guy who is quite well known in the French PS3 hardware community. In fact his PS3s are completely refurbished (and not using the fair-dryer trick ) and re-soldered using professional tools. He guarantees them 6 month, mine had an issue at 3 month...
  19. Oh, yeah, I'm still searching for a 1200XL and a 5200. ... I know, cost of shipping will be expensive to my place... but if the machines are in nice state, it won't be a problem...
  20. I downloaded this one. I'm in a creepypasta/creepy gaming phase (after the MST3K phase, the Godzilla phase, the Gamera phase and the "what ? how it is possible my bank account is empty ?" phase) so I heard about it. Unfortunately, it seems none of my computers (modern ones, ok, not the A400) are able to run it correctly. To see a test of the game, it's on Mullet Mike channel on youtube : Creepy Gaming - "SLENDER The Eight Pages" Review + THE ARRIVAL First Impressions
  21. Have the same behaviour on a PAL N64... So I'm not surprised. Is it ok when you remove the cart ? On mine it has a tendency to bend upward a thin metal thing (not from inside cart slot, from the surrounding of the slot) that prevents me from inserting any game until I bend it back inside...
  22. Beep beep beep *shutdown* So it seems my fat 60 is dead. Crap Is the ultraslim 12gb better ? i plan to reuse my 500gb hard drive with it... Edit : Bought one this morning. The Ultraslim is f...ing ugly. And that Blue ray disc drive cover.... arf. Anyway, once my fat is repaired, this one will be sold back on eBay.
