When it comes out in a week (coincidentally on payday), I'm gonna buy the Terminator Resistance: Annihilation Line DLC and play through that. The game is kind of mid-shelf gaming but the base game was cheap and I had fun with it, plus it's the only good thing to come out of the Terminator Franchise in the last 10 years (at least).

While shopping for fruits on the market, I saw an antique vendor selling a fat ps3, with four usb ports. When looking it up it turned out to be the ps2 backwards-compatible playstation 3 for Europe. For only 25 euro's I was happy it booted up. Hopefully this will solve my broken ps2 problem for while

Its almost the end of the year and lets see what will be my next to last update for the year.

I've been buying loose ends to my collection & doing that thing where you search for someone selling something you need only to stumble into a rabbit hole of "What the hell is this?? Why didn't I know about this??" items in the related? You guys know the struggle. Nonetheless, it's been a good year for collecting despite the price hurdles. I've got my eyes set on a bunch of things & I'm expecting at least 25-30 more packages in the mail still! I really hope you guys are having the same luck filling in any gaps in your walls, too!

Christmas money hopefully well spent.

Just pre-ordered this Evercade Vs. bundle along with a handful of games (Technos Cartridge Collection, Atari Lynx Collection 1 & 2, and the Renovation Collection). I've heard good things about it from reviewers.

I am bummed that the Namco collections aren't compatible on it, as I would have have gotten those simply for the Splatterhouse games. But I'm just not much of a handheld guy, so I still went with the Vs model over the original handheld version.

I'm actually mega curious about this, think you could share your opinion on it once you've had hands on time? I'd love a personal non-promoted opinion as I've been looking at these myself!

Even when is not for me I really want to know when it will arrive, don't you dare leave us without proper images and if you got any chance a small review will work
