    the track "que sera sera" from katamari damacy does a wonderful job of calming my infant daughter, when nothing else seems to work though she'll stay calm through lonely rolling star as well , she might cry more after but those 10 minutes are bliss

      Katamari Damacy in general had a really neat soundtrack.  Our kiddos were pretty small when we owned a copy on the PS2; it seemed like they dug the soundtrack.

       

      It's cool to hear that it helps your kidlet! :)

    so a constant low baller messaged me on ebay mad that I blocked them from bidding/sending offers.

      Damn it man!  Why'd you block me!  I really want that Neo Geo AES for $100!  You gotta sell it while you can, nobody else gonna bid on this thing.

      heh, imagine that, an auction site where people bid low or attempt to get a low price. man... ban them all. Only Big Coin rich COLLECTION graded people should exist there!!! L@@k super duper RARE VINTAGE HIGH BALLERS only need press that button!!!   How dare poor peons plead a case or DARE to attempt to haggle and deal    :)    The shear audacity of a person to even consider an item could possibly be less than msrp or asking price more than once!  Maybe just don't set up best offer, or state the price is firm, perhaps setting a reserve or higher starting price... you know, like it's been done on other auction, bid, or sales platforms going back to the classifieds in the newspaper days. Maybe it costs a couple pennies more or some sort of fee to set it up that way, THUS causing a person not willing to pay for that set up to field such atrocities !!!   Did I nail it? Did I get the perfect ranter of the year award?  Armies of Low ballers unite and Make ebay Cheap Again. :mwah ha ha ha ha!!  evil laughter !!!  The MeCA movement lives!! Make eBay Cheap Again!     OK, I think I get the Academy Award now... thank you thank you!  I'd like to thank....

      I hope he wasn't wanting any HOLY GRAIL!s or LAUNCH EDITION!s

       

      So you can still get messaged if you block a bidder?   That seems odd.

    SO I picked up a 360 at the salvation army, tested it, worked, good, but just booted whatever lego game that was in the drive.

    Go to try something else, bam parental lock.  I tried microsoft's reset solution, no dice.  I go in for one final try , randomly mash the buttons with my eyes closed, open them and there it was the parental control settings.  Suffice to say I disabled them all promptly

    also I picked up an hd 4:3 tv from sanyo, kind of neat

    I found an addams family cd-i movie in the slip case while looking through a box of stuff, I'll take it as a silly excuse to hook up my cd-i

    I hate sergio leone's movies, I'll just watch a few minutes I say, then several hours have passed.

      Those aren't oil leaks.  It's just marking its territory :-D

      sea foam shouldn't be in there for too long

      it's a game of cleaning 'just enough'

      Re: Sea Foam: one-third of the can in the tank, one-third of the can down the intake, and one-third of the can in the crankcase about 100 miles before doing an oil change.  That's been my usual strategy for years, and it seems to work well.

    Picked up a microvision with 4 games yesterday for 13 dollars at a flea market, works too, now I can rock on to the first 4 bars of anchor's away when I start up sea duel

      I want to live where you live, and go to the places you go, ten minutes before you get there.

    picked up atari corp blackjack, might not be a new game but at least it is a picture label and a hard to find one as well.

  9. masschamber

    picked up a box of ds/gameboy stuff at a garage sale today, most of the cases turned out to be empty (no big deal as it was cheap) but it had zelda minish cap (real not a boot) and zelda oracle of seasons so really nice stuff to add to my collection

    then pokemon black 2 sealed! yeah I'm going to be  selling that, 

    1. jhd

      jhd

      I have encountered people (and stores!) selling empty game cases before. That is why I always check before I make my purchase. I'm happy that you found at least something worthwhile. 

    2. masschamber

      masschamber

      believe me i always check cases at stores but this was 25 bucks with a ds and minish cap, it was already golden

      but yeah at like the salvation army or a thrift store, always check cases, as a good chunk of the time they are empty

    I have a cheepo taiwan cart labeled worm war 1 , turns out it was warm war 1, and not the same game  as the taiwan cooper warm war,

    my nephew is visiting for a a few days, at one point he was covered in atariage stickers, man my daughter loves those things, shame  the glue finally wears out after being applied, peeled and reapplied repeatedly as she's spent like an hour playing with them each day for the past 4 days

    they also like fairy force, but I don't think they actually know (or care) about how to play it.

  12. masschamber

    add a new 2600 game to my collection for the first time in over 6 months, a pretty rare one to, space tunnel ntsc

      Bit Corp's vertical scrolling shooter.

      yeah but it says puzzy at the bottom of  the screen, almost as good as a new hat on an old doll.

    My order from the store arrived today, Al certainly came through with the extra AA stickers for my daughter.

     now they're are stuck to ever single wall and door in the house

    trying to redownload ps3 stuff sure is a hassle, somethings have gotten better on newer hardware

    1. Rick Dangerous

      Rick Dangerous

      How so? I had no trouble finding and redownloading my purchases?

  15. masschamber

    picked up a cheap ps3 slim today, sold as non-working, probably because the disk drive was crammed full of like 5 or 6 disks, oddly enough non of them were for the ps3, but several were for the xbox 360

    I think I'm going to watch Rashomon tomorrow if they weather is bad.

      A fine choice in any weather.

      There is actually an episode of Dick Van Dyke told in the style of Rashomon. Ohhhh Rob...

    well, this was a neat score, an intellivision keyboard component parallel interface, a bunch of internal Mattel paper work, a keyboard component microphone and a bunch of keyboard component game manuals

    pretty sure  "improve user experience" means increase spying while removing features people like.

      Don't forget having the opportunity to re-buy software and hardware you already bought and works fine, but is no longer compatible.

    So I'm trying to complete an original transformers skystalker, I'm just missing the right shuttle wing, but they are basically unobtainable, yet the left wing, which is mirrored, but otherwise identical is readily available.  How bizarre. 

    1. ClassicGMR

      ClassicGMR

      And until just now I had never heard of Skystalker. Nice. Learned something new today. :)

    2. IntelliMission

      I suggest you keep on searching, I'm sure there's...

       

      ...more than meets the eye.

    looks like the odyssey 2 is slowly creeping up in price and with it the last vestige of affordable classic gaming

      What's wrong with a left nut and a right pinky for an E.T. cartridge?

      I go to the VideoGameCritic for my reviews. the Odyssey has mostly F's and D's with the occasionally rare A title.

       

      Still, curiosity is a good thing, just don't expect arcade quality

      Man-Wife is way too good to me(I got a Conure a couple days ago, she insisted, lol. "For me". Ok, Thanks!), you know I've been putting off that one a couple towns away from me, but I'm trying to work it out now, don't want to miss out, thanks for the heads up!!!

       

      @Frozone212 - I have/play almost every system, haha, pretty lucky-TOTALLY get what you are saying, but tbh, if I want arcade, I play MAME, haha, etc, etc-I don't play too much modern stuff, but still a good time-range of technology, and I honestly don't compare games, say, side by side on different systems, I just assume/take them all as "different", since I have almost any option to play, and just enjoy it for what it is.

      I swear, not poo-pooing on your sentiment, haha, what I am saying is that I don't mind to adjust to "bad games", squeeze what I can out of them!

      :)

    To improve the "ebay bucks" experience, Basing our decision on user feedback, we have decided to remove the 1% on everyday purchases.  Now you will only earn them on our exciting limited time offers.

      Typical corporate america. Making something less desirable while telling you it's more desirable.

       

      And "experience" is becoming overused in communications from company-to-customer.

    3. Shawn

      Shawn

      So users said they would prefer not to get 1 percent on all purchases? Ya right.

      I used to use that for my factory's stuff, lol. I avg'd 100+ every time.

    So I know where there is a original copy of kevtris for about 150 dollars, kind of tempted to buy it.

      Why don't you just ask Kevin to make you one?

    3. masschamber

      masschamber

      that's a good point, why pay 150 for a 16/100 on a label

    4. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      Maybe he'll make you a signed 101.

    Do you want to build a snowman from frozen is clearly a rip off of let's build a snow man from cannibal the musical, only the lyrics, tune, rhythm, and theme are different.

    got bounty bob 5200, it was in a local lot for 150 dollars (guy would not move or seperate, but oh well), the rest of the games are probably only worth about 50-60 dollars so I had to pay about 100 for bounty bob, but I can live with that. Unfortunately this leaves me with nothing new atari related to find in the wild unless it is an r7 2600 game or higher or boxes.

    1. CPUWIZ

      CPUWIZ

      Noice!

      Congrats! And now to sell off the extras (a problem we all routinely have).

  25. masschamber

    anyone else find the not intellivision 2 stickers on coleco's intellivision games funny?
