    Ok I have some ipod docks up on eBay, a guy wants 2 here is his first message:

     

    Hi,

     

    I'm interested in buying 2 of the docks you have for sale. I will be paying by money order. My question is: I need to receive the docks by Tuesday, October 4th. I'm concerned there may not be time for you to receive the money order and ship, and for me to receive them. Would you be willing to ship on my word that I have sent you the order? Feel free to check my feedback. Thanks.

    I'm sorry, I sat here for five minutes laughing at this post with tears running down my eyes. That made my day. :D

     

    I'm glad he asked first before he bidded though.

    In no particular order:

     

    Goldeneye

    Tetrisphere

    Rogue Squadron

    Shadows of the Empire

    Wave Race

     

    It took me six years on and off to finish Zelda Ocarina of Time. That game is huge. If you're going to play it then I recommend picking it up for the Gamecube instead. It came out on the Gamecube as a preorder disc for Wind Waker, and had two versions of the game included. One was the original game, and the other was the Master Quest. If you ever played Zelda as a kid then you can appreciate having a second quest. You might grow a beard finishing this one though.

    According to mapquest the seller lives 7 miles from my house, so I think a bike ride is within that range. It arrived today by UPS after going to Richmond first and then being rerouted back to my house. Nonetheless, it was packaged very nice and everything works great. Fun game too! :) Why are there two run buttons? Are you supposed to tap both in unison for a faster speed?

    If you played it with the normal atari 2600 joysick you would have to move the joystick left to right or up and down to generate speed. The Track and Field controller mimics this as well. Just makes it more fun I guess (Or you can say it's made for Lefties as well) :D

    Hi there!

     

    The N64 makes me vomit.

     

    For real. No kidding. Its 3D hardware causes motion sickness and after less than 30 minutes... :-o

     

    Greetings,

    LMAO that was a funny post! When I first played the very last level in Shadows of the Empire it mad me quite dizzy. It took a while to get used to the 3D motion in outer space. My boss at the time told me she threw up playing it. :woozy:

    Seller alert: Stay away from ebay seller radoslaw_30_videogamexchange. He lifts pictures from all over the place for auctions including AA, and then doctors them with a photo editor. If you ask him "Q: Is the cart shown in the auction the actual cart being sold or is it a stock photo?" he replies "A: It is the actual cart. Nice condition for its age 20 years old", and even prints the Q&A in his auction. He will then to proceed to send you a cart in shitty condition, and will not leave feedback until you do. Emailing him is useless, and Paypal can do little to help. He is dishonest and should be avoided. :thumbsdown:

    By the way, does anyone have a perfect method for removing those stupid Blockbuster labels?

    I worked in a video store for three years. Most labels will come off easily with a heat gun (much better than a blow dryer). The silver stickers that say void when peeled off are a different story though. If they are stuck on the plastic they can be removed with a lot of elbow grease. I'd just peel the label off and then rub the excess silver/glue crap off with my finger. Takes a lot of work, but eventually it will come out clean. If the sticker is put over a label you got some real problems. Normal heat alone won't take off the crud underneath, and rubbing will always mark the label with glue stains.

    I had a little more time to play today. I tried the Voice Module unit and the games I have for it. Bomb Squad has some catchy music and the voices do add something to the game. I really like this title, but haven't gone deep into any of my games yet. Basically I'm making three piles: Games I like, Games that don't appeal to me, and Games that I'm going to have to play more to decide. I'm really horrible for reading instructions, and there's a lot of buttons on the controllers.

     

    On a side note I'm not sure whether Intellivison or Atari was the first system I ever played. Years later when I played The Legend of Zelda for the first time I thought to myself "I've played this game before on another system" but couldn't remember what it was. The spiders in Zelda were giving me deja vu. I'm now sure that I was confusing Zelda with one of the Dungeons & Dragons games on Intellivision. Are they all the D&D games on Intellivision pretty much the same graphic wise?
