[...] I am man so I don't even use the darn vibrator to begin with ok [...]

I'm just trying to understand what's the relationship between you being a man and don't using the darn vibrator...

I’m (obviously) NOT masamune’s Secret Santa, but at least, this whole ordeal made me find out that the Xbox 360’s Asura’s Wrath is a somewhat sought after game in North America…Around here, it would be worth a ¥500 coin or less…
I understand it must be frustrating, but worst case scenario, I guess you could sell it and get something you really wanted.
That Game Gear cartridge seens pretty disappointing though…

Hardware and Tech / Re: Non black PS1 Disc?

« on: November 25, 2023, 07:24:35 pm »

remember that Gamestop as one such location and probably a ton of other places around the entire world, DO INDEED, burn fake copies of discs and somehow sometimes place a FAKE sticker on the top to make it look like to real copy of the disc.

Are you saying Gamestop manufactures and sells pirate games?

To those who are considering joining the gift opening event: what about December 8? It would be the start of the weekend for everyone, meaning anyone not based in the United States would have a better opportunity to join.

I usuall work from 08h00 to 16h30 (UTC +09:00) on weekdays, so 8th of December 21h00 UTC-05:00 (which would mean Saturday, 9th of December 11h00 here) works great for me!

For me, it's more about the time of the day than the date itself. Haha
At what time (of what time zone) are you guys thinking about doing the openings?

Modern Video Games / Re: Baulder's Gate 3 Physicial Release Confirmed

« on: November 18, 2023, 02:14:06 am »

I didn’t even know that game didn’t have a physical release.
Don’t know… I still have strong prejudice against download-only titles. To me, they still feel like lesser games that didn’t get a “real” release, you know?

Sure. Why not?
As soon as “disable all pop-ups” continues being the website’s default setting…

Went to see Godzilla Minus One last Saturday (and I plan on going again later this month)
I've always been a huge Godzilla fan and, for me, this is the best one ever.
I heard it is going to get a world-wide release next month and I gotta say it is definitely worth going to the theater just to watch it!!
What an amazing piece of art!
My favorite 2023 movie so far.
PS: It also shows how Americans are simply incapable of understanding what Godzilla is really about!

Shmup Junkie is pretty good as well. He only releases videos every couple of months or so, but the content is very well made. And his collection of PC-Engine games and shooters in general is just insane.

I'm really excited with all this, but I plan to arrange everything by the weekend, so I'll give my pal a few more days to ADD STUFF FROM JAPAN to their wish list. Haha

Thanks for the hard work, dhaabi!

I am adding a few games to my wish list now, but first, two messages to whom it may concern:
To my secret santa: "No need to worry about getting stuff from my wish list. Anything and everything (especially if they are Sega related) is welcome!"
To the good boy or girl who is going to be get a gift from me: "Add as much Japanese stuff as you can to your wish list and I'll do my best to find them here. Also, I'll make sure to send you some yummy treats too."

And let the fun begin!
