Classic Video Games / Re: PS3 and Vita stores being shut down July 2027.

« on: July 01, 2026, 12:24:44 pm »

It was inevitable, especially after Xbox shut theirs down. Glad we got a few extra years. I purchased everything I wanted before the last shutdown.

The saddest part for me, is that this kills any chance of the PS6 being truly BC with ps3 (Which wasn't likely anyway...but I was hoping)

General / Re: Do you still prefer physical games or digital?

« on: May 10, 2026, 12:26:37 pm »

Physical all the way. I have no shortage of digital, but I don't track any of that stuff here because I don't consider them truly a part of my collection. I still prefer CD's and DVD's/Blu Rays all day every day.

Modern Video Games / Re: Gamestop Offers 56 Billion Dollars To Buy Ebay. Good or Bad?

« on: May 10, 2026, 12:04:56 pm »

I'm mostly just amazed that Gamestop has that money. Are they that big in the USA? Here in Germany they attempted to take over but never were able to compete with online shops like okaysoft and the local shops people prefered. It reminded me of the monumental failure of Walmart trying to taking over and losing billions. Gamestop pretty much ceased to exist here last year.
If Ebay gets eaten by them, i don't worry. Here in Germany, kleinanzeigen, which was once part of ebay, is now a separate entity and better anyway.

That was my 1st though, where the heck do they get 56 billion from? I don't think they are doing well here, my city went from maybe 10 gamestops to like 3? All the ones anywhere near me just disappeared last fall. IDK I haven't used ebay since like 2002 or so, so it wouldn't effect me either way.

The only one I can think of is the PS Vita, from times I was active in video games. I do kinda wish I'd picked up one of those mini wii's that came out with no internet capabilities, but technically I can play those games on my wii-u if I really wanted to.

General / Re: When will your backlog actually be completed?

« on: March 23, 2026, 06:56:18 am »

Never. I have stopped buying new games, but even if I complete a game a week (I generally only play on weekends) I'd be well over 100 before I was close to done.

I've been buying back a lot of the Colecovision games I previously sold... 

It's a great little system.

Wonderful system. I never had one, but my friend did (I was a lowly 2600 kid, lol) The Colecovision just looked so much better. I did have an Adam computer, so I was able to play some Coleco games on there.

Man, I wish I had time to play something right now. I'm a big fan of games - I usually play Elden Ring or go through Apex with friends. But lately, all my free time has been eaten up by essays and papers.

I understand, I was a student myself. It's okay, someday this will all be over and you'll be able to immerse yourself in the gameplay again.

I hate to break it to you, but you will graduate, and get a job that eats up all your time and energy, LOL.

I just finished *most* of the 1st Borderlands, just need to do the stupid Moxxi DLC. Normally I would skip them because they suck, but I'm close enough to completion I may as well.
I'll probably get bashed for this, but it's way overrated. Parts are really cool, but I had to play most of the game on mute because of the constant annoying screaming, grunting, and claptrapping.

General / Re: Your 2025 Gaming and Collecting Goals

« on: February 03, 2025, 08:43:42 am »

I'd like to play through more of my games! I'd like to whittle down my wishlist a bit, I've decided to step back from buying new games in 2025, unless Oblivion is remade, lol. I've got most of what I'm looking for so I don't expect any major collecting gains, until Black Friday when my local game store fills up the bargain bins, lol.

Off Topic / Re: Movies/TV Show/Music - A Year in Review 2024

« on: January 01, 2025, 01:31:15 pm »

I don't have a favorite or least favorite movie that i can think of off the top of my head.

For TV shows, i don't watch much TV, but I did watch the 2024 season on Law and Order SVU and it was really good (Too short though)

My favorite album of the year is easy. Best album I've heard in YEARS,

Aurora- What happened to the heart?

I've always loved her work, but I think the production by Brian Eno put it on a whole new level.

General / Re: Game with a PEGI rating.

« on: December 27, 2024, 11:09:56 am »

PEGI is a european rating system, so your game copy is propably european.
It wont destroy your console to put it in, worst thing that can happen is your PS not being able to read the disc ... 

Should work fine, PS4 is region free.

« on: December 05, 2024, 06:41:08 pm »

I'm using the PS3 theme (I also really hope they keep these) because I've never touched a PS1 or PS2 so there is no nostalgia there for me.

I only found out this year that my PS3 could play PS1 games, so I picked a few up since then. Someday I may get a PS2 since I have a nice stack of games.

I started with the 360, then a year or so later picked up a PS3 (Uncharted 3 launched so I bought the UC3 console as it looked way too good to resist...still barely played the game though...lol

PS4 was OK, but I'm loving my PS5 so far (Using it to play my PS4 games anyway)
