General / Re: Report Reveals Restrictive and Hostile Working Conditions for Konami Employees

« on: August 04, 2015, 12:49:00 pm »

Need to add some Castlevania's titles to my collection before they became rare and of course expensive, it's a damn shame that another company that was one of my favorites at my childhood is becoming pure crap as cRapc0m but after reading the full article for a second time in my job we are experiencing a similar situation with the time cards arrivals and lunch breaks, were we can't be late in our arrivals but we can work even two hours without payment at the end of the day so kinda understand how it feels.

This is further emphasized by a policy that requires workers to clock in and out with timecards during lunch breaks. Workers who run late are publicly named and insulted.

This is pure shit, don't know what kind of contract they signed but they don't have any right to reassign somebody just because somebody liked a comment, shit they don't even have any reason to do this, maybe if they do it on labor hours Konami might have a valid point but still is wrong in so many levels.

One such case even had aftershocks that affected those only indirectly involved in the reassignment. When a former Konami developer who was moved to a pachislot factory finally found employment with another company, he did what a lot of us would: He posted the joyful news to Facebook. Some of his former development team colleagues, who were sympathetic to his situation, liked that post... and soon after found themselves re-assigned too. This sort of monitoring of private communication must be terrible for both morale and team cohesion. Not only can you not you speak freely at work, you can't even be sure if the things you say on your off time are being scrutinized.

A couple of months ago saw for the first time the game Conquest of the Crystal Palace for the NES at one of Norm's review, totally felt in love with this title that I decided to add it into my collection, saw it at Mercado Libre without a photo in a sellers store with bad reputation where he claims that he didn't had a camera at hand to share some previews of it but since the game was on sell for only $ 15 bucks and he was the only one at ML to have it decided to give it a try, today I received this little fella in a very nice condition with a shiny and complete label, even with it original box, just need some tips in how to properly remove the Galavideo logo without damaging the cartridge

This past Saturday I saw with my wife the World's End movie which I really didn't expect her to enjoy it that much, none of the actors were recognized but it was pretty damn and fun to see together, also I did return to cartoons since my little girl asked me for the third part of Cinderella and I did saw it at least three times and finally The Maze Runner was such a experience, am glad that the second part of this one is gonna be released this next month here

Not sure exactly that it is going up in price too much, cause it's only about 30 to 50 bucks on Ebay that I'm seeing for a CIB version.  Pretty average pricing for a Zelda game I'd think.  I got my Spirit Tracks for 20 bucks and I thought that was actually a good deal, but that looks to be similar to the Ebay average too lol  I could even say its better, cause I can physically have it, no shipping worries, or any other fees attached.

By the time am replying to this thread the game that I saw was already sold and the only two available at Mercado Libre are so damn expensive so this game will have to wait but I did purchase two more titles for my NES when I was on that site, the first one is Slalom and only because I saw that this was the first game developed by Rare but what's is a little strange is that it doesn't have the typical Official Nintendo Seal of Quality, the Made in Japan reference and the NES ID on the label, talked about this with some friends and they told me that it might be a a variant this game, the second one is the Pinball, both games were at the same seller store so decided to purchase them at the same time to avoid paying two postal services, only paid the miserable quantity of 12 bucks for both titles which by the way are in excellent conditions

Damn am glad that I don't saw Telerisa anymore but have to admit that totally felt in love with that pink trailer, just hope that they don't manage to do another versus like this one even when a Chabelo vs Slenderman is kinda possible, the video was uploaded from TV Notas a magazine from Televisa

Look, if an American shows up, the whole thing will turn into a SyFy movie of the week.

After seeing your message I was hoping to see it at the show Ghost Hunters but then i realized that they only do this kind of stuff with Ghosts and all the paranormal stuff, Slenderman is not the kind of character to be see there

Yeah, they always took photo or video with the lowest resolution in these kind of events, I guess it's a rule but even when without experience in edition is clear as water that is a fake but seriously there are comments of some people giving recommendations in how to protect your children

Off Topic / Slenderman in Mexico

« on: July 27, 2015, 02:36:10 pm »

A couple of years ago started the rumor that the Chupa Cabras was on my country, not quite sure right now in which state of Mexico but the thing went so far that a lot of international news channels talked about it even South Park did a parody of this creature, well last week they have started the rumor that Slenderman was seen in a rooftop at my city, they even have a "proof" at Youtube that is making a lot of people nervous even when a lot of us think that this situation is just a distraction to avoid or point in another direction the attention of the people about the recent scape from prision of The Chapo, it wouldn't be the first time that our politics do this kind of stuff just to hide the real thing.

This past Friday my daughter saw some images of the Little Mermaid when she was browsing some videos at YouTube so she asked me for the movies and I did spent my full weekend watching with her the three parts, damn I never knew that there were so many movies of Ariel, her favorite one (and mine to I guess cause at least I saw it ten times) was The Little Mermaid II: Return to the sea also I finally was able to see Mall Cop 2 which was funny as hell, the latest five minutes of it totally made my Saturday but then I saw Little Big Soldier with Jackie Chan and totally made me cry

No offense but a couple a friends have purchased the Spirit Track without manual and case just like you, can I ask how much did you pay and why the hell is becoming so expensive, have found the game card only at Mercado Libre and really don't believe that is less expensive even than Amazon, it's becoming rare ?, if it's it will definitely be my next target

I finally sat down and played Cannon Spike for the first time tonight. Wow! It's pure fun. I must've had a smile on my face the whole time. You've gotta track one down! (plus they seem to be trending slightly cheaper on eBay recently)

That's why I wanted this title so much, used to play it at the arcades years ago and it's pure fun unfortunately my financial situation right now doesn't allow me to purchase my copy but I really don't lose the hope, when that time finally come will purchase one in Amazon cause really don't know much about eBay and how to manage purchased there

Sorry for the low image quality. Stupid iPad. 

Isn't the iPad as the iPhone supposed to have the best quality on the market ?, I mean the price for those devices is practically a joke cause of the expensive they are, can't believe that an Apple product took that bad low quality in a image.

Cannon Spike

This game has been at my whishlist for so many years, hope you don't mind but really hope that you can upload some images of this title
