You used to be able to. They had to change it because asshole would contact losing bidders in order to sell a similar item.
Mostly they changed it because that led to sales that they didn't get a cut of.

And here I thought it was because my 10 year old sister of the time would message people that out bid her on salon moon dolls to tell them she hated them, hope they died, and that they had small dicks.
What 10 year old girl is concerned with dick size?
Further proof of sexual abuse in the IP household.
You'd better not be doing lines off the grooves of an original Xbox, because if so, YOU'RE FUCKED!Quote:

Awesome! Where did you find it for that price?
Gamestop has it for $20.
I picked up a fat PS3 for $40. And Mario Kart Wii for $8.
Also Amazon.
I took my daughter yesterday on the condition that if she got the Yoshi, I was taking it. She agreed, and she did. I took her back today to get a Beanie Baby, which she left in the family room smelling like fries. Our Beagle ate it, so she's now 0/2 on Happy Meal toys this week.Quote:

She's dumb as a post, but she's a very loving dog. She sleeps with my daughter at night and doesn't do much of anything during the day. One of my sisters has one that is similar. They are hunters though, so if they see a rabbit, they'll go apeshit. They're a very healthy breed.
Thinking about getting one for our next dog. I hear they're awesome with kids, and not that there are currently any plans who knows what the next 10+ years will bring.
I have a cockapoo (well, two), they are good with kids and very friendly too.
Do they have the ear problems that most cockers do? Also, the pissing.
My dog is a Beagle mix, and she's wonderful with the kids. She's always with them, and she sleeps under or at the foot of their beds. She's very loving and very healthy. She also has the most iron stomach I've ever seen. Seriously, she's eaten stuff that I think would kill another dog.
Pissing is not a problem, ear problems are hit and miss. When it comes to a mix, it really depends on the phenotypes of the individual dog.Quote:

I'd probably take any dog though. I just hate having to plan around them, so I don't get one.
I want a French bulldog.
I want to name him Waffles.
A few retro things came in from eBay over the past couple of weeks!
- Battle Mania 2, Genesis (repro cart and box)
- Blaster Master 2, Genesis (cart and box)
- F-16 Fighting Falcon, Master System (complete)
... and I got this, new in the box for $5! I hate this controller with a passion, but I intend to review it, so I'll get something out of it. I've seen loose ones go for twice that, so to find a new one with the box for cheap was nice.

Nice VINTAGE haul!
The repro could be retro...
Majority rule.
And i disagree. The game is vintage.
Do you consider Citizen Kane retro when it is released on dvd?
Though the delivery system is new, the article being delivered is indeed vintage.
I have spoken.
C. Piracy
Semi real question: is buying after market parts for things the original manufacturer no longer supports piracy to you?
B. Shut up.
No, but repro cartridges aren't parts. They contain code and/or assets that are clearly covered by IP.Quote:

I'm not planning on buying anything for the rest of the month, so you two feel free to talk "Piracy" in here.
Not being sarcastic, aside from this fucking tire I'm about to buy I'm not buying anything
There's not much to talk about anyway. I missed the "to you" part of his question. I don't get heartburn about repros, unless they're games readily available digitally, which most aren't. I just was coming from a literal standpoint. They are piracy, just like Super Mario Bros. is absolutely not retro.
edit: If we want to get into feelings, we should ask ARBM, as I hear he perfectly represents the core gamer.
Super Mario Bros, not retro.
Super Mario Bros elements in Tetris DS, retro.
Bingo
Super Mario Bros. DX, vintage retro.
Rare limited collector's pack alpaca extreme retro 50th anniversary edition
The Alpaca makes it vintage.
I'm really amazed to this day they made a joystick like that. I'd always thought making something for a left-handed market was beyond fucking stupid.Quote:

Most of us from that era were arcade gamers. Why sega thought to go against the grain, I do not understand.
I'm sure you could play it Seth Killian style.
I infer he crosses his hands? I had a friend who did that.
It's super-weird, but I guess you do what you have to.

You should haul those PMs out of your inbox so I can send you Super Metroid.Quote:

How do the versions compare on that, anyway? I liked the Gamecube version a lot.
They seem identical to me, but I am not good with these types of comparison.Quote:

I mostly got it because the Dreamcast is one of the few systems I still collect for and I'm trying to fill all the holes in my collection before the price jumps like some of other systems have in the past few years.Dude was selling it for $40 shipped, which seemed to be a pretty nice deal.
Gotcha, nice haul!
Say, pick up SFIII: Double Attack on DC if you get a chance, the different backgrounds and soundtracks for New Generation and Giant Attack make it worthwhile!
That game is on the way, actually! I had it when it was new, but I think I lost it in a move or something. I may be in the minority, but I prefer Second Impact to Third Strike.
The backgrounds are as good as Capcom ever made 'em in that game, I think! Third Strike has a bunch of prerendered Resident Evil looking crap everywhere.
The UI (lifebars etc) and character select screen are nicer too, I think.
The GC Ikaruga has backwards enemy movement and mirrored bullet patterns for, like, one phase of one boss.
Unplayable.
You're thinking of a different game. You're thinking of Mortal Kombat 3.Quote:

How is the Steam version of Ikaruga? From the impressions on the Shmups forums, it sounds like it's better than the XBLA version. It also got a patch that fixed some bugs, though I'm not sure if this corrected all issues.
It's very good, though I am not familiar enough with the game to catch all the nuances. It doesn't have that typical Japanese PC game jank.
Nah! Remy's stage in particular is a mess!Quote:

Aw, I like Remy stage. Giant Attack's backgrounds are the best, though. No argument there.
Yeah, and some characters even share stages in 3rd Strike, which is bullshit.
Sean also peaked in 2nd Impact but whatever.
Humble 2k Bundle - For The Bureau. I already have the other games in it.
PS3 and Vita sales - The Cave, Virtua Fighter 2, Thomas was Alone, Malicious, Velocity Ultra
And 3d Classics: Kid Icarus using club points.
I will gladly take your extra 2K Bundle Steam codes. Need some Steam Cards? ;)
Sorry, I already got rid of them.
Any of you are welcome to buy my DC SF3 Double Impact. I am currently replacing all my games with CDRs, so I'm gonna have some crazy shit to list later this week.
Got more dc stuff?
I'm buying PS2 compilation stuff lately.
Heads up for anyone interested in PS4 or Xbone:
Through their cartwheel app, Target has a 15% off electronics coupon. Videogame hardware is included.
Using the coupon and red card, I picked up a PS4 and kinectless Xbone for ~$350 each after tax.
Credit to CAG.
Obviously will work on wiiu and 3DS as well.
That cover is interesting....

Didn't realize this came out last year. The first game was actually very good minus a few mistakes to be expected with a one man dev crew. The newly added easy mode is appreciated too.
Grabbed an Xbox One with the Target coupon. Then found Dead Rising 3 at a local game shop down the street used for $30.

Went to a local comicon this weekend and got some cheap games and TPB.
- Spider-Man: Torment
- Star Wars: Empire Vol. 1
- Star Trek: Starfleet Academy Starship Bridge Simulator, 32X (complete)
- Gradius III, SNES (loose)
- Starfighter, Saturn (complete)
I'm pissed at myself for buying Starfighter, which turned out to a complete turd. They had Norse by Norsewest, which I thought I had and didn't. I didn't realize it until I got home. It was the same price, too. FML.
Nice, now get the SUPER ULTRA EX+A DLC and play with Korly and myself.Quote:

Starfighter is great.
On 3DO.
Timber should also get titanfall. It's still really fun if you play with tnl. Going alone does suck ass though.
Forza 5 is the only game to get on Bone
Until FH2
You gonna respond to my PM about paying for the game I'm holding for you?Quote:

Got Street Fighter 3 Double Impact in today. I haven't played anything but 3s in years since it was the only non DC port, but man, it was like sliding on a pair of favorite jeans that you haven't worn in years. Everything clicked and I was quickly kicking ass, which for whatever reason I've never been able to do in 3s.
Nice! I feel like the timing on parrying is just-slightly different, but in a good way.
Got some pillows

That's awesome.
They're raffle prizes in Japan but I can get them from the source.Quote:

I got DKCR 3DS as the Club Nintendo platinum award.
Is that the GameCube version or the XBLA version? I know the XBLA version has some slight chaining inconsistencies with the arcade/Dreamcast version.Quote:

That's the GC one: Frothing Edition.
XBLA has no slowdown, right?
Got that fish game that uses 2 screens
