That Chun Li statue is awesome. I would own one of those for sure. How much was it and where do you find those?

Just got released by kotobukiya....  Its part of the Bishoujo line....  Cammy will come out next month....  It should be easy to find anywhere right now....  I think mine was $60....

Classic Video Games / Re: Counterfeit Games Being Sold
« on: April 05, 2014, 06:19:32 pm »
A guy in my class has been talking recently of buying stuff to change the data on SNES chips... And he explicitly said he wanted to sell fake Sword of Manas and Mario RPG and Earthbounds for full price because that was easy money. That pissed me honestly, and I told him so. I tried to convince him that it's not an appropriate thing to do, and he said he might sell ROMS and imports instead. And I really hope he meant it, and will not sell fake by saying they're real.  >:(

My rage is with you!

Classic Video Games / Re: Retro collecting is dying!
« on: April 05, 2014, 06:15:52 pm »
One sign to indicate retro collecting is in fact "dying" is the way that everything out there seems to have been already "collected". There is no collecting, if there's nothing left to collect.

I drove an hour out of my way to hit a stop I used to depend on a few years ago just today, and wow, my mind was blown. They had nothing. I actually said out loud and didn't mean to "the stock has definitely shrunk here", and pretty sure they heard me. Everything was picked through, mostly just crap left. I went in thinking "okay, I'm not going to get carried away and spend too much here" to thinking "isn't there one thing I can buy here?!" There wasn't, I left empty handed. The other nearby stop I used to make near there relocated out of state last fall. Definitely feels like the wells are drying up. Same story elsewhere, other spots I know of that I hit this year, stock didn't change from the last time I was there. Looked like nothing sold, and nothing new.

I feel like I got into this just before everyone wanted to jump onboard all at once. I had a couple of good years where finding anything was reasonable and people at yard sales didn't know "Nintendo is collectable now". Oh well, I'm past the half-way mark to where I want to be anyway. I don't mind buying most the rest of it online really, but it was fun finding things when you took a drive out to look around.  :-\

It sounds to me that your definition of "retro collecting is dying" is simply counter to mine....  The fact that things are drying up means that collecting has gone up....  Even if I have a full COMPLETE collection, does not mean collecting died....  I would still be a collector, but it would just be a complete collection....  I view collecting as going up as scarcity continues....  So that's where I'm coming from....  I get how our views differ now....

One of my favorite games is Magic Knight Rayearth but I dont own it yet. Its expensive and I dont even have a Saturn to play it on. It would probably cost me $250 or so to get just a system and the game.

I have the Hikaru and Umi disc copies, but it is very hard for me to justify buying a third for 250+ just for a complete set....

We had a shelf here before....  It should make a comeback at some point, but its probably low priority....

Well....  My glasses broke and I dropped $300 bucks on a new pair and then after a fairly expensive date my car broke down....  Tonight is not my night so I guess I won't be hitting 400 anytime soon now....  :(  Thanks for humoring me anyways guys....

I'm playing Goat Simulator.

Yes, really.

I'm actually quite interested in picking it up....  Do you think it was worth it so far~?

Gah....  Had a difficult time finding many of these in good condition this week....  I only 4 found of them in good enough condition to buy....  I've got tomorrow off though, so I'll try to hit a few farther stores to find them....  Hopefully I'll find them all~!

The DS4 does work with some games, but it has to be plugged into the PS3.  I have played a few games with it. I couldn't get it to work with the MGS HD collection though.

How did it feel, Dennie?

Did you like it better than using the DS3 -and- what games has it worked with?

I tried it and the sticks do feel slightly nicer, but I think the over all design isn't quite on par with the Dualshock 3....  I believe I was playing Hotline Miami when I tried it....  I returned to the DS3 after a short while....

Still playing DW8XL complete....  I thought I'd have moved on to Dark Souls 2, but as it turns out ambition mode got a significant addition in the XL as well so it looks like I'm locked down for a while....
