Modern Video Games / Re: 100%ing games. How does it make you feel afterwards?

I don't know that I've ever 100%d a game since the SNES. I just don't have the drive to do it.

The image for the Battletoads & Double Dragon cart needs to be removed. It's watermarked. I'd replace it but I can't find an acceptable image anywhere.

I accidently uploaded the Jet Fore Gemini cart for Pilotwings 64. I don't have an image for Pilotwings so it just needs to be removed.

I had my kids all day so I didn't go... I'll be damned if im paying $125 for tickets students get for free anyway! lol
Well I usually get OU tickets for free because so many of my friends have season tickets (or rather, their families do). I totally understand. I wouldn't pay that much either. Honestly, with my setup at home it's almost better to watch them on TV anyway!

I'm a commodities trader. I'm pretty lucky to have a good job that can afford my habit. I don't spend a ridiculous amount on games though. I'm more into the hunt, which usually turns into a good deal.

Classic Video Games / Re: Hardest games you've completed
« on: August 26, 2011, 12:55:56 pm »
I've beat Contra, Super Contra, Contra III, Contra: Shattered Soldier, Contra 4, Mega Man 4, Super Punch-Out!! (the last 2 fights are ridiculous), Devil May Cry 3 (black label US version on the most difficult setting), U.N. Squadron and Ninja Gaiden III without any cheating, codes, etc. Which one was the most difficult? I don't know...probably either Contra: Shattered Soldier or Contra III.
I actually beat Shattered Soldier the first night that I had it. I played with a friend for a few hours and, after he got too frustrated, beat it by myself while he watched only dying once. The last thing I remember him saying that night was "How the FUCK did you just do that?"
I think the key is memorization on all of these games (other than DMC3). If you can memorize each level then you're good to go. I managed to beat Ninja Gaiden III last week after playing it for about 4 hours or so. I can fly through the first 5 levels without dying now (usually) and it's all because I know exactly what's coming at me. Basically, when I play a really hard game I just turn into a robot until I get to a new area. Once you have it down you can beat any of them without a problem. I can still sit down and beat Super Contra in one play through if I go into robot mode because I spent so much time playing it as a kid. Probably the same reason I can sing the theme songs from Ducktales, Darkwing Duck, Ninja Turtles, etc after years and years of not hearing them

General / Re: Building Collections. Rares first? or easy stuff?
« on: July 06, 2011, 12:21:03 pm »
I've had issues with this as well. Sometimes I feel like I'm buying stuff to pad my collection. Most of what I own is good to great, but some is garbage. I don't buy newer gen stuff that I have no interest in. Most of my padding is in my NES collection simply due to the fact that eventually I want to have a complete NES set.

Cool. I've never seen that page before. Who would have known that my top Developer was Sega? That's pretty random!

I think I should have a submissions badge It's okay though, no idea how many I did back when I was putting in my NES games, etc. My edits should be well over 250 as well but 'tis cool.
