Erghgghghghgrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
EDIT: Just called them and they're going to straighten this out.
EDIT x2: I give up.
So I call them, tell them that I'm missing the case & manual, go over there, and they hand me a new copy of Atelier Totori: The Adventurers of Arland
Whatever.

That's why you should always doublecheck what you have before you leave.
Got my awesome Metroid T-Shirt.
http://www.the-nextlevel.com/tnl/att...chmentid=64728
I'm still waiting on that thing, I think unless it went to my house.
Chux where'd you get that?!? That shirt is fucking rad!!!
Shirtpunch.com
Nice, I'll need to look into that.
Got a pair of pineapple laden boxer briefs today... from NGEFreek and his girlie, and some fake poop from her son, and some toilet paper with a poem on it... All in a pink package with a singing card. Pretty much the best overall package ever.
This is the foundation of their business model.Quote:

This came sealed from Goozex way, way later than I expected. No one must have bought this version.
Even if the game is better on the Move, I'm guessing many people picked it up for $10 on the 360 when various stores were clearing out stock. Cheaper version beats better version (unless it's on PC.)
*edit* Now that I think about it, I've never actually seen the PS3 version on a store shelf anywhere. Of course, I haven't really been game shopping at retail in the past few months either.
Yeah I had no idea it was even on PS3. Let us know how it works with Move, Yoshi.
Motion controls suck and the game itself is not as good as Rez.
Mzo, did you actually play the Move version or are you talking out of your ass?
And playing with Kinect is nowhere near as accurate as playing with a controller, but I still thought it was a lot of fun.
I need to try the move version. I bet it works about a million times better than Kinect.
Definitely my ass, I haven't been anywhere near a Move controller ever.Quote:

I took a survey from MS for the Dashboard update and they let me pick out a Kinect game. I got Disneyland Adventures since I do want to check it out, but fuck if I pay for it.
Ordered Touch My Katamari for $10 from Amazon using my $20 PS Vita game credit for buying a launch system.
I got that $20 as well but I think I'll use it on Gravity Rush.
Oh yeah so today I got:
PS Vita Wifi

Uncharted
Lumines

Dodonpachi Ressurection for about $14 after conversion.
Goddammit I hate you so much.
Don't forget that GohanX already spent 400% of what you did to get the game.
Where are any of you getting UK points? I've tried a few online transfer sites and they've all fucked it up.
Thank you Chux, just ordered.Quote:

Yeah I have the game too, got it months ago. I want to get Black Label.
Maximuscards.com is one of the sites I've tried with no success. I might have to get a physical card. From where, is the question.
That game looks fucking insane.
It is well worth $15.
How much for shipping?Quote:

Had to buy a new DS Lite after my trigger buttons stopped finally working. Located a copy of Super Mario Advance 4 also for 10 bucks new in a Half Price Bookstore. >_>
In case anyone asks why I bought a new one, it's the only system that Gameboy Advance games don't look like shit on with a portable.
Found at my local comic shop an Uncanny X-Men / Teen Titans crossover from 1982. I love finding stuff like this.
Why didn't you just send it to someone to fix it for like $20?Quote:

No I hadn't. I'm curious where I can get one of those since I still have a decent mess of games I enjoy on it.Quote:

Ebays probably the best place, but the sellers who know the difference between the two SPs tend to charge a premium for the newer model. Or just keep your eyes peeled on the various forums.
Abused an EB deal and traded them 10 boring games I no longer wanted. Got the girlfriend her own Vita for free-bizzle.
Grabbed Alan Wake's American Nightmare today, as well as a copy of Deadly Premonition. I borrowed it from a friend a year or so ago and found it simultaneously awful and amazing, but never did a playthrough on hard after finishing it the first time. It's crazy cheap now on Amazon, so I caved.
How do you tell which model is different? Is it varations of colors of the unit or serial numbers?Quote:

In September 2005, around the time of the Game Boy Micro's release, Nintendo released an improved version of the Game Boy Advance SP in North America, featuring a brighter backlit screen instead of the previous version's frontlit screen. The new model can be distinguished by the following features:
The box states "Now with a BRIGHTER backlit screen!" to distinguish the new model from the older, frontlit models.
The backlit SP has the Model Number AGS-101 on the label on the bottom of the unit, whereas the original frontlit SP has the Model Number AGS-001[10]
The switch at the top center of the console's lower face is now referred to in the manual as the "Brightness Switch" and selects between two levels of brightness, "Normal"(Low) and "Bright"(High) with no off setting. On the frontlit models this switch turned the frontlight on or off only. With the backlight set to "Normal"(Low) the brightness still surpasses the original AGS-001 with the frontlight on.
The North American backlit version comes in three standard colors: "Pearl Blue", "Pearl Pink" and "Graphite" (a grayer version of Onyx Black). There were also two Toys "R" Us exclusive backlit models; a "SpongeBob SquarePants" model[11] and a "Limited Edition Pikachu" model.
Jemery FTW! Also, if you happen to see any boxed units out in the wild the newer ones say "NEW BRIGHTER SCREEN" or something like that.
I decided to replace my Nike flip flops that I have owned for nearly 10 years with these:
Attachment 64785
I like the design, but I absolutely abhor anything that goes between my toes. I have to have full on sandals. I can't do flip flops.
The easiest way to tell if the SP is the brighter one is if the screen is a deep black when turned off. The original models look gray.
L.A. Noire and Dungeon Siege 3. Thanks Gamefly for cheap entertainment.
I just picked this up recently on the cheap as well. I'm enjoying it so far, it could probably use a little bit more action but for what it is, I am enjoying it.Quote:

The Losers doesn't get much love, I too thought it was pretty entertaining. I believe it was released around the same time as the A-Team and kind of got lost in the theaters.Quote:

What it did, it did well. Definitely enjoyed it. Just grabbed Invention of Lying on BR as well, which I've seen several times but I do wholeheartedly enjoy it, especially the scenes with Louis CK and PSH.
Wow ok, time to do some hunting. Thank you sir.Quote:

Kinda late for reviews for UMVC3 and Rayman Origins.
Seriously. Rayman has been clearanced out at Target for $14.98 and Marvel came out what... November(unless Vita)?
Whoops - forgot to mention they're the Vita versions. I already reviewed the PS3 versions of those when they came out.Quote:

This arrived.

Woot
Haven't tried out Rayman yet, but there's actually quite a difference between the Vita and console versions of UMvC 3. Beyond the touch controls, there's also a neat card game that mixes deck shuffling with the usual fighting that is a lot of fun and can be played both offline and online. I've played a few online modes and they went smoothly even with tons of shit going on, and the d-pad actually makes controlling the game easier on the Vita than on the PS3 pad. Sony should release a DS 3 controller with this new d-pad at some point because it really is the best one they've ever used.Quote:

Loved the shit out of the first one; god bless Amazon release date shipping as well. One of the last DS games i'll buy most likely.
Why not wait for DS 2: Overclocked?
Here's hoping there isn't one? Also I don't own a 3DS right now anyways. I thought about it but I really was looking forward to this one so I got it.
Thanks for that info - I see now that it came out a few weeks after I finished reviewing UMvC3.Quote:

What is wrong with me
Last week, new tires for my chicks van. This week, new water pump and serpentine belt. Next week? Can't wait to find out.
I just got Overclocked so ill be playing that and maybe DS2 will get the treatment someday. Radiant Historia will likely be my last DS game.Quote:
