Ordered some more Japanese games:
Final Mission Famicom (JP version of S.C.A.T. NES with some major differences)
Volfied Megadrive (JP Ultimate Qix)
Darius II Megadrive (JP Sagaia)
It's crazy how much S.C.A.T. goes for and how the JP one is actually cheaper. Volfied and Darius II were cheaper than their US counterparts, as well.

I'm getting a little chubby here. Tell me more.
I remember when I offered a copy of SCAT to a member about a year ago for $25, but it was too much for him.
That doesn't sound like me...
Got the last two seasons of Sealab 2021 for $5 each on Amazon, and I spent $2 on the Groupees Retro 2 bundle for the Irem collection and Raiden Legacy. Since I've already got Two Brothers, I don't need this Steam code for it - 4MIJN-6BGAE-6Q6F6
So I like yo-yos. Always have. The one I've been using recently is "unresponsive" which means you have to do some string fliipdy do business to get it to come back your hand. It's fine, because you can do those string catch tricks, but thats all you can do. I got a regular yo-yo (still with a ball bearing) for loops and shit.

Well, when you buy SCAT in new condition, you have certain expectations man!
Update: I'm going to end up knocking my teeth out with this fucking yo-yo. I can almost guarantee it.
Was that me? If it was, then fuck me. I should have jumped at it.Quote:

I picked up the sole remaining copy of Project X Zone LE for $20 at my local Target.

Now I'm Frankensteining it with a Core Grafx and my TG16 cd drive. I wish NEC had made a drive that matched the core in color.
They did, but it's the Super CD-ROM2 and won't fit in the briefcase.
That thing is a tumor.
Hell no. That and a SuperGrafx remains the pinnacle of NEC hardware combinations. If you region mod the SuperGrafx, you can play everything, and no other set up can do that.
you can shove the giant SuperGrafx and the no games worth playing on it up your ass. Modded Duo all the way.
That actually may be right. When I had that setup, it still had the best version of GnG, but now the PS2 does.
edit: Honestly, most of the must play PCE games are available digitally on Wii and/or PSN now anyway.
That drive looks okay on a Supergrafx but it looks like it's raping a regular pce when attached.
I was ridiculously happy to see this pop up locally.

The few friends I've made in the horrible South Florida scene are all great and generous people. You absolutely need help from the community in this dark age of video game purchasing.
That game is better than it has any right to be. Miss X is a sorely underused gag.
I got a new toy in the mail today, but nothing to play on it.
Don't be so quick. I'm sure that batawang will fit in there!

I don't think I ever got Gals Fighters for the NGP. Looks good though, good pickup.

I don't think this is right. The PS2 Capcom Collection is based on the (inferior) PSX Capcom Generations. The Saturn Capcom Generations with GnG still has the best port.Quote:

I almost bought one of these dumb things so many times over years...
If only marty and x68000 prices werent completely fucking insane (though im over the 68000. Fuck floppies).
That's debatable. I might prefer the Genesis version simply because it gives the option to allow diagonals to not stop your movement.Quote:

Nice! I kinda hated that on the ds, but I always wondered how it played on a 3ds with the circle pad.
I kinda hated it no matter what platform. Im going to resell it, but thought I would throw it out there if anyone else wanted to attempt the hunt.
They should release a 3ds version, it would be a badass portable game with proper analog controls.
$7.99 shipped. :)

The instruction manual is Too Hot for TV, apparently!
My extremely Baptist cousins had that game, The Incredible Hulk, and a CD-i with Hotel Mario, and that was it.
Kmart's still around in the US? They're long gone in Canada. They were converted to Zellers, and now Zellers is dead and taken over by Target.Quote:

We still have Kmarts here, and they're pretty large in size (and clean!). No Targets, though. :(
I don't buy much from Kmart because their video game prices usually suck. Sometimes they have awesome clearance sales, but they're mostly overpriced.
The Targets around here were big multi-floor Zellers stores before. I barely remember what local Kmart was like now. There weren't many around. The last game I bought there was either Feud or Knight Games on C64 so it has been a while.Quote:

The K-Marts around here that I've seen are big and nice, but the closest one is like an hour away and means driving through some shitty neighborhoods so I never go there.
I once bought Yarn Kirby for five bucks from a K-Mart. I haven't found anything that good since!
Picked up some DS stuff today. My wife wanted to play the Brain Training games so I picked them up for her. I picked up Moon (never heard of it before) and finally got Knights in the Nightmare. Also got some cards for the Google store for some Pinball arcade tables. I'm new to android gaming. Anything pressing that I should pick up ASAP?
Ridiculous Fishing.
Done.
I long for the days that kmart had cheap import game gear and Game Boy games
I long for the days when Kmart wasn't a total fire hazard.
My Kmart is basically a front for Little Caesar pizza. Occasionally they will have good deals. CAG gives the heads up but its almost always hit or miss.
Mine had nothing but steel diver.
Got that Zelda joint for 3ds.
Have to wait for the system to charge!
THE WORST!
omg it's SO GOOD
got some fresh krispy kream donuts tonight. If you haven't had one of these fresh from the bakery, you don't know a fucking thing about donuts.
My K-Mart has a habit of putting full price games in the same section as the cheaper games. Finding properly marked games can often be a hassle.
I did get lucky one time and found a left over Rygar NES for 65 cents from the days they used to sell NES games.
Or you could just buy a bucket of sugar and eat thatQuote:

There is no contest between Dunkin' Donuts and "Hot and Ready" Krispy Kreme if you like plain glazed. But I don't eat that many donuts either. The nearest Kripsy Kreme is about 30 minutes away, which might be why I don't eat more.
It really is!Quote:

While Krispy Kreme are the superior choice, there's nothing wrong with cake donuts.
Jesus, can you talk about anything without being outwardly hostile? You're the only guy I've ever encountered who can eat a donut antagonistically.Quote:

DD is not as good as Krispy Kreme, but a plain doughnut and a coffee was pretty fantastic when there's two feet of snow out.

I prefer cake donuts, myself.
Once a year or so I go into a Krispy Kreme and get one glazed, one chocolate covered cream fil led, and one lemon filled, and some milk. So good.

You used "olfactory," spelled correctly, in a buttplant impression? Come on now. Keep it plausible.
Didn't know Krispy Kreme was in business yet. Every grocery store/ gas station had they a decade ago, can't remember the last time I saw one.
now THAT's an IP impression.
They expanded way too fast in the early 2000s and then crashed down back to earth. They're still around now.Quote:

Yeah, I remember seeing them popping up everywhere and then closing down shortly after. I imagine they tried to take on Dunkin but ended up as more of a specialty store without the Coffee/Breakfast business which is where the real money is.Quote:

they seem to do better than dunkin donuts in the south. We had a dunkin 20 minutes away when I was in college, at an airforce town, and it failed in about a year and the owner put in a Krispy Kreme. The Krispy is still there.Quote:

If I get anything from a donut place I always go simple like Diff, just no sprinkles. My wife gets all manner of wild shit. Get out of my damn face with that garbage.
You beat it by pumping it full of boston cream.
I don't like boston cream.

But seriously, a normal-ass Dunkin Donut with chocolate & sprinkles is enjoyable but can't beat it? Get outta my face. Donut enjoyment is at its peak right after coming out of the fryer. From there it's a steep, immediate decline over time until you hit "it's a day later and I'm hungover I guess I'll eat this" status.
Yep, it's my favorite. I am not a donut connoisseur and I am not well-versed in methods or optimal taste curves so when I want a simple donut (which is, basically, never), I know what I like.
My friend once took me to this hipster artisan donut place in New York and it was horrible.
People proud of making inferior donut choices because of nostalgia and they're accustomed to it....
Come.on guys. You're.depriving.yourself from delicious sugar covered hug clouds.
Yeah we have those too but they're all cake donuts which are good in their own way but not my favorite.Quote:
