LEGO Dimensions. Should we use the item number in the title like the LEGO Dimensions wikia does?
http://lego-dimensions.wikia.com/wiki/71211_Fun_Pack
vs
http://vgcollect.com/item/88056
http://vgcollect.com/item/88057

These two are an example as of why. Use of (Bart) or (Krusty) in the title is wrong based on existing style because these are not variations.

Akin to this: http://vgcollect.com/item/88055
LEGO Dimensions: Level Pack - The Simpsons
then the Bart one would be
LEGO Dimensions: Fun Pack - The Simpsons 71211 ?

Obviously, we would need to put the set number on all entries of Lego products.

It looks good. I think the censor bars is better than blurring or mosiac the image.

It goes to a 404 page.

There are no items in the category.

But you are right, categories should not say 404. If they are empty, we should have a page saying no items have been added or approved yet.

I think it is supposed to be Dragon 32. Naming it simply "Dragon" wouldn't be right, it should either be Dragon 32 or Dragon 32/64, even if Dragon 64 isn't really a hardware platform. It is not related to the 3DO at all.

FM-7 can probably just be put into Other.

For the NEC PC-6001, maybe have a NEC PC category and put the PC-88 and PC-98 and the PC-6001 under that?

He puts it in as a German game, but uses a Italian box

Off Topic / Re: did you ever collect Pokemon or Yugioh cards?

« on: September 17, 2016, 04:03:53 pm »

I did collect Pokemon cards awhile ago. I don't know the names of the sets but the one with the leaf or bone icons, besides the original release. It wasn't something I really planned on. I was into Magic cards and did DCI league, and somehow won a starter deck for Pokemon. I think it was a free draft tournament or something. It was neat. I don't think I have any of those cards anymore. Just a 1st edition Pikachu and a Ninetails.

I will buy on Steam no problem. But I will not buy a game on Steam that I already have a physical copy of, or if the game is more than 10 years old.

I can think to do one of the following:
1. Merge each entry with their EU counterpart
2. Remove front art and then add to description that the figure is from the 3 Pack.

Either sounds fine to me.

I have removed the images for now.

Another example would be Diablo II. In that I had beat the game on all difficulties. I had not really tried to go for max level, because it is really too much work. I believe my highest level (on ladder) was 93. I did go on a quest to get every unique in the game. I got the list down to around needing 20-30, but that ended up not being enough to sustain me further. There was no progression on any front as my characters all got to end-game gear for their builds. Nothing new to experiment with. That is one case where I did too much and finally got burnt out.

Actually, now that I read your post Warmsignal, I do encounter this IRL. But it is not relating to video games but technology all-together. Because I still have CRTs and VCRs and Laserdisc and all that stuff. Some people I know who are all-in on HD-TV/4K/3D/BD question me anytime they find out I got some new (old) piece of hardware.

I usually don't. The only game I think where I did try to beat all difficulties is Quake 3 Arena. Even so, I think I have not won all matches on Nightmare. I do not think I have ever won Q3TOURNEY6 vs Xaero on Nightmare for example.

General / Re: Do you re-watch your favorite cutscenes while you're playing your favorite games

« on: September 12, 2016, 11:43:03 am »

I think my favorite cut-scene for the longest time was the opening of Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight. As that is available as a separate file, I was able to watch it without even opening the game. It doesn't look very good now on modern monitors.
