General / Re: What if all the money you spent on video games was into shares instead?

« on: August 20, 2018, 10:46:49 pm »

I remember a topic awhile back where he responded to a question stating something along the lines of being disinterested in collecting or playing video games anymore. I'm not sure what's the point of hanging around a video game forum if you aren't interested in the very thing said forum is about.

I may have said that in another thread to back this up. I still play video games but not as much as most of you guys I watch a lot of tv and listen to even more music than anyone else in the world probally

General / If You Had Few/No Video Games And All You Found Was RPG's Would You Be Unhappy?

« on: August 20, 2018, 02:10:19 pm »

Seether posted about only finding sports games in a recent post, SO I wondered
If you were new into collecting and all you found were RPG's? or one only one genre at where you were looking would you be unhappy.

I probably would not be unhappy as long as if I didn't own all the games already

What's wrong with sports titles?

I like sports video games but a lot of people apparently don't, Seether is not the only buyer complaining

I honest don't know why so many don't buy or enjoy sports games. Everyone/most buys RPG's it seems

Geography is a big part of it.  Sports titles have ALWAYS dominated the bargain bins.  Now that I live far from major cities I am more dependent of ebay and letgo than ever.  I personally feel that if you're searching game "lots" on ebay you'll find more sports titles in the lot than anything.  I forget the name of it but there's a fellow on youtube who went on a quest to acquire a complete NES collection in an extremely short amount of time and one of the things he did was get hundreds of games out of the way by offering mom and pop shops a buck a piece for NES sports titles.  Needless to say the mom and pops were ecstatic to see that merchandise finally move!

shadowzero has what I would say

1: it has to be your location or you might not be looking in the right places

2: because there really is a TON of sports games that were made and still being made, to this day. and everyone thinks they are all the same

but really from my experience mostly all sports games play differently.

There are a ton of sports games but playing them is a lot better than lets say twiddling your thumbs day in and day out. or having no video games at all to play

General / Does The Games Maturity Rating Matter To You? ESRB or For Example?

« on: August 17, 2018, 08:12:02 pm »

Some games I would be embarrassed to play  them because some games can be built toward at a extremely young crowd or have an Adults Only Rating game that showcases some kind of porn or excessive gore and violence in fact I think that I prefer E for everyone, and T for teen, and M for 17 and older. or maybe unrated when possible.

I don't own or plan to own any AO or also known as the highest maturity rated games in the USA and Canada. Because they don't interest me.

So? one question I can ask that is not covered on here is. What is your opinion about AO rated video games or video games that contain obscure porn or sexual content? or video games aimed at an extremely young audience.

ESRB is only an example of a popular video game rating company. There are other rating companies in foreign countries like Japan and European

I can see why some people who have vary young children play some video games with their children.

this was a previous discussion similar that search didn't find me until after
https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8190.msg136496.html#msg136496


I am also a person who is embarrassed to watch or play most anything Halloween or horror related except maybe when I play the older doom games for me it depends on the game

Off Topic / Re: What Bands/Artists Are On Your Bucket List? How Many Have You Checked Off?

« on: August 17, 2018, 06:49:50 pm »

I used to know a guy who to this day. wins all his live concert tickets  for free by calling in at the right time at a few local radio stations. I  personally am not interested in seeing any bands in person or live. But

Yea you fellas should listen to the radio more often and you may even win concert tickets by calling and calling a radio station over and over, this guy I knew does this all the time and he wins a lot of free tickets this way in our local area but in a way he has to earn them by repeat calling a radio station to get on air and he is successful most of the time

when and if the DJ says caller 109 or whatever wins the tickets for free it's usually true 

I am talking about the FM stations not satellite or online

General / What Console Haven't You Used In A Long While Or Never?

« on: August 13, 2018, 07:27:45 pm »

My console that I never used so far is my Wii and I've had it less than a year. Is there a console that you haven't used in a long time? Name A console you never ran before or haven't ran in a long long time. and my Sega Genesis and my NES haven't been played in a long while either maybe all year. This is may be a too common thread but I'll let you judge.

Off Topic / Re: Were most popular 80s cartoons pretty much just long toy commercials?

« on: August 13, 2018, 03:51:01 pm »

What do you guys think of comic books? the same? Speaking of He man I think that was a vary popular comic book series as well. But  I am just reaching 30 years old this year so I don't remember many 1980's cartoons.  In fact I mostly watched Nickelodeon and Disney channel cartoons. of the 1990's and other cartoons like the classic but I am not sure what channel they used to be on like Loony Toons, and Popeye

General / Re: Do You/Have You Used ROM's and What Is Your Opinion? Or Experience With Them?

« on: August 12, 2018, 07:04:20 pm »

I am not trying be a jerk and no I am not the law. But I used to download anything and everything that involved gaming on a PC. And sometimes I know for a fact even roms can have attachments that are undetectable virus or Trojan Horses. those are usually avoidable by deleting the files that come with the download that have no extension or a strange windows icon that you know from experience that has nothing to do with the free program, or game you just downloaded. and sometimes I pried viruses off windows XP off my PC by changing it's code or/and by renaming it and deleting the file afterward by forcing deleting the unmarked stuck file

Eventually I fear the day when all games physically go out of stock everywhere and the people holding on to collections only sell the crappy games they don't want for an extreme price. I know now this will be a day that will come, if someone don't do anything about not releasing psychical releases. ROM's may be the only affordable option for me in the future, And the police get paid to find criminals. Not only that, but

I knew a man that was arrested with a large fine and 30 days in the city or county jail for Jaywalking. DO NOT underestimate the police. Because some police only get paid to arrest criminals and they do just that. Some police will find the littlest excuse to drag you in too. Or, fine you a ticket that you must pay or you will put into county jail or state prison

PS some police will show mercy but some cities really are cracked down hard most police, are nice but few can be mean, and strict, like in some of the cities around where I live.

 you have to be warned with everything you download because the internet is a public place and some ROM may contain illegal attachments that could get you arrested

Emulation is not morally wrong anyone who tells you so is a shill.  That being said I don't really emulate because I prefer playing on the original hardware when possible.

I agree Emulation itself is not morally wrong in my opinion. I have many emulated games in the form of compilations for PlayStation 2, emulation is often sold completely legally by official companies.  Internet ROM's though I am not as sure about them

General / Do You/Have You Used ROM's and What Is Your Opinion? Or Experience With Them?

« on: August 10, 2018, 08:21:25 pm »

I used to use ROM's just like a lot of people, But I stopped a long time ago after I found out a few people were arrested for having them on their computers. now every time I think of ROMS I  think of a song that has lyrics of "I broke the law, and the law won" But I am still tempted to get free ROMS but I don't and don't plan to ever again. back in 2013 I had a bunch of ROMS but I deleted all of them just a few years before I got a new PC and I never touched them ever since. But I did have a Free version of the sims 1 ultimate collection since that at that time nor steam or GOG games had the game for sale and amazon was all sold out

It's kinda weird but nowadays there is a lot of downloadable games for PC that you can download for free but most of them are illegal  including MS/DOS full version games that are considered abandonware.


I personally don't want to put the law to work on me so I think ROMs are morally wrong and dangerous on your gaming equipment but that is my opinion
I now believe downloaded ROMs a version of stealing and the same with everdrive. But I do own one NES Multicart I bought off Etsy

Site Feedback / Re: A Copy Of Sent PM's Not Being Found In Sent Items

« on: August 08, 2018, 07:12:03 pm »

Hm, that does sound odd. When you go to send someone a message, the checkbox for "Save a copy in my outbox" is checked, right?

I didn't see that checkbox before I sent the messages so that could be the issue

Site Feedback / A Copy Of Sent PM's Not Being Found In Sent Items

« on: August 08, 2018, 05:52:48 pm »

I noticed for a while now that when I send out a PM even for an admin or moderator I don't have access to view my sent messages. As far as I know I can still receive and send messages to anyone who don't have me blocked logically. But the message currently does not show up inside my sent messages box or what it is called. Maybe this is a feature to stop people from sending another person the same message? Not sure at this point but I can understand sort of why this is happening. If it is some kind of feature or setup the admin has for a reason
