Off Topic / Dogecoin mining... or what I do with my computer when I'm not gaming.

« on: December 23, 2013, 05:43:17 pm »

I'm not sure if anyone else here is familiar with this, but there's a new Cryptocurrency in town and its based off the popular Doge internet meme. Similar to Bitcoin, you can mine the coins with a GPU and then spend them online for goods and services. I honestly have no idea if this is going to take off but honestly I don't care. There is just something about this damn thing that's fun and addictive. I've been mining for a few days and have racked up around 11k coins and I just want more. They really aren't worth much, but that doesn't seem to stop anyone. People on reddit have been trading these Dogecoins for beer, pizza, coffee, and even videogames!!!

As I'm reading what I just wrote, it kinda sounds like I'm trying to endorse or promote these, I swear I'm not trying to do that. I just wanted to share with you guys something that I've found fun to do over the last few days.

But anyway. I just wanted to see what you all though about cryptocurrencies and see if you guys participate in any of them. Also if you have any interest in getting started with Dogecoin I'd be happy to share what I know and send you some links and stuff.

Modern Video Games / Skylanders... or what the hell have I gotten myself into.

« on: December 10, 2013, 09:57:04 pm »

So with all the awesome holiday deals going on I managed to snag a copy of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure Starter Pack for $19 and Skylanders Giants Portal Owners Pack for $18; both for PS3. Before this I really had no interest in the franchise and haven't been following it that much. I understand the game is played by placing the figures on the portal and that the characters stats are stored directly on the figure's NFC chip but not much more. I have so many questions and I'm not sure where to start; like is the game worth playing? are the figures compatible with the different versions? Do I need to buy more figures to really get the best experience. Its all kinda overwhelming so I just wanted to see what our community thinks about this interesting game. Thanks guys (and ladies)!!!

General / SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works Kickstarter

« on: November 15, 2013, 04:46:08 pm »

I know we have some Sega fans here. I saw this and had to fund it immediately. It was the first time I funded anything on kickstarter and I couldn't be more excited about it.

The ultimate retrospective of the SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis. A documentary art book by Read-Only Memory.

SEGA Mega Drive/Genesis: Collected Works [ セガ メガド ライブ／ジェネシス：作品集成 ] will be the definitive volume on the landmark console. The book is officially licensed by SEGA and celebrates the 25th anniversary of the console’s release. It will be an unparalleled treasury of production artwork, interviews, development sketches and hardware manufacturing plans.

Classic Video Games / Final Fantasy X and X-2 Japanese DVDs

« on: November 14, 2013, 04:03:21 pm »

So I picked up these 2 Japanese DVDs at the Goodwill the other day and I'm not sure what the heck they are. They appear to be bootlegs of all the cut scenes from the two games, but they were done rather well. The are professionally pressed DVDs, not just burnt discs with printed labels and the case for X was done rather well. Does anyone have any info on these at all?

Off Topic / Quitting Comics

« on: September 13, 2013, 09:29:30 pm »

So I recently decided to stop collecting comics and I'm actually going to sell off my small collection. I wanted to offer it up here before they went on ebay. Once I get my list together would this be the place to post it or should I just put it in the market place?

Classic Video Games / Dragon Ball Z PS1 Import

« on: August 07, 2013, 03:32:54 pm »

I found a Dragon Ball Z game at the goodwill today and really don't know anything about it. After a little googleing I've determined the game is Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu (SLPS-00355). The thing that gets me a little is that the cover is slightly different then the images I've seen of it. The pictures I can find have a white border around the cover art where mine does not. Does anyone here happen to know about thing about this game? Any information would be appreciated. Thanks

Classic Video Games / Just found in my basement....

« on: May 10, 2013, 07:51:11 pm »

So I was cleaning out my basement and I found a copy of the Earthbound Players Guide. Funny thing is I never owned the game. Not sure where or when I picked it up but it's here now, lol. Now I have to decide if I want to keep it or sell it.

Has anyone else had anything like that happen before, you find something awesome that you didn't know you had?
