Off Topic / So, I haven't been around for a while..

« on: September 26, 2012, 07:54:58 am »

So, at the end of July, I finally found a new job. It was going pretty well, for two weeks, then I felt.. really tired and just "off". Went to the doctor, had a blood test.. and was in hospital that night having transfusions. Turns out I have leukemia! That was a fun surprise. So I spent six weeks in hospital having chemo and stuff. While I was in there I had my birthday and the lease ran out on the place I was renting. I ended up temporarily moving interstate and living with my dad who is taking care of me during the rest of my treatment (another at least six months of chemo and then two years of maintenance).

Anyway, didn't mean for this to be a pity party or anything, just thought I'd let you guys know I didn't fall off the face of the earth or anything. Moral of the story: If you feel unwell, get checked out. You never know.

General / Finally. It's finally done.

It took me.. eleven months, but as far as I can tell, I've entered my entire collection on here. 888 games, 531 of which I added myself (lol europe). I'm gonna go get a pizza, because I frickin' deserve it.

Edit: 888 games is funny, because I was born on the 18/08/1988, was 8 pound 8 and 8 days late. I'm like Satan's second cousin.

Site Feedback / PS2 Classics and Minis on PSN

« on: May 30, 2012, 09:58:31 pm »

Where do I put these games? Granted PS2 Classics currently only run on the PS3, so they might be able to go in PSN PS3, but Minis are PS3/PSP/Vita, so they're a bit nebulous.

Australia's managing director Paul Yardley responded by issuing a statement claiming the UK branch's decision did not "necessarily impact us here."
But less than two months after Mr Yardley issued the statement, the Australian subsidiary has followed suit.

Modern Video Games / Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed

« on: May 01, 2012, 01:41:45 am »

Sega have announced Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation Vita, Nintendo 3DS, and PC (digital) for release in late 2012. As the title suggests, the game has transforming vehicles that shift between different forms depending on the terrain (land, water or air).

Also both Vyse and Gilius Thunderhead are playable and there's a Panzer Dragoon level.

Don't ever leave me, Sega.

Modern Video Games / PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale

« on: April 27, 2012, 02:23:53 am »

Yay, Sony SSB clone.

Confirmed characters:
- Kratos (GoW)
- Col. Radec (Killzone)
- Sly Cooper (Sly Cooper)
- Fat Princess (Fat Princess)
- Parappa the Rapper (LOL)
- Sweettooth (Twisted Metal)

Confirmed stages (ie will probably have characters)
- LittleBigPlanet
- Some Ratchet and Clank planet (with Qwark)
- Sandover Village (Jak & Daxter)
- Buzz

And they've said they're going to be getting a few third party properties (I'd assume Metal Gear, Assassin's Creed) and the final boss will be surprising (it better be Kevin Butler or Kaz Hirai).

Seems I managed to get THQ's library copy of Soul Nomad. That's a first for me.

General / That feeling..

..when @foxhack gets re-tweeted by Robert Boyd and winds up in your feed. It's like some kind of reminder to get off my ass and finish cataloging.

Site Feedback / Badge removal?

« on: September 29, 2011, 07:13:15 am »

I just removed a bunch of games from my collection (due to me being a doofus and choosing the NA ones instead of EU), which took my count down under 300, yet the 300 badge remained. Is that expected behaviour?
