Off Topic / Re: Elephant or Panda?

Panda's look cute, but elephants make the better sound.

I also enjoy the elephant sounds in Jungle Lord and Cyclone (pinball tables).

We should combine these two?

Yeah that might be the best course of action. I didn't know what quite to do with it since there will be no "boxed" version that includes the watch. The watch (item record to be made still) will be swag, similar to the watches from the other VLR games.

Use the extra entry (the watch) to make the swag entry.
Please confirm that packaging first. If it hasn't been released yet, it shouldn't be in the db as being released.

It is interesting about how my own behaviour is somewhat changing. Usually, if I needed to go to the store to get something, I would drive there. Now I can think, I can walk and catch pokemon along the way. Alas, a lot of those times this weekend, the servers have been busy... so I drove instead.

hoo boy found this on consumerist.
might wanna fire up those emails. just tossing this out here.

Many companies have this. I believe that Sony was the first to have such a clause after PSN got hacked.

I'm fairly certain that the ability to catch pokemon has nothing to do with the neighborhood you are in. It seems to be based on time/distance (on average) before a new one shows up. Today I had difficulty being able to login. It stinks because I went to a big town festival thing, walking all over the place but it wouldn't login until after I had left. Also I have found that some times there is a pokestop inside of a building, but GPS doesn't work inside the building. So I was technically there but the app couldn't tell and kept saying I was too far away. Then I move toward it (based on the map) and the avatar has a walking motion but doesn't move.

The only complaint I have about it so far is that it gets stuck a lot. Not freezing up like I've seen some people say. You can tell there is a communication issue because the maps has you in the correct place, but nothing will show up on the map. You just have the pokeball animation going. The way I have to fix it is to force close the app from the Battery page in settings (not in running applications, oddly enough) and then re-open it. Its a pain to go through that process.

I go through trends myself over the years. Nearly everything I have ever collected go into hot/cold periods. It is like a natural flow.

I find it interesting on where it is putting the stops. I would imagine that it took landmark info from some other mapping source. For example, if you use Google Maps, you can see locations that people have tagged.

Video Game Database Discussion / Re: multiple bar codes, same product

« on: July 13, 2016, 07:01:25 pm »

Thanks, deso!

The reason for the multiple barcodes is usually going to be because of regional releases. The entry for this (Echochrome) is incorrect. It is incorrect because that barcode on the entry, while it exists, does not appear to be the standard English or UK release as it should be with a title like that. The user who added the entry does not have the item in their collection either. Our database is missing a lot of European releases.

Quick EU barcode list for this game.

711719973850: I cannot confirm this, but I suspect it is NL or Dutch version. Please provide a clear photo of the back of the one you have if you need help in identifying.

711719973959: is on 41317, I can't confirm this barcode but it may be on a Swedish release.*
711719973256: English/EU release. This barcode should be put on 41317

711719973751: Spain
711719973652: Italy (has a guy instead of a girl on the front cover)
711719973553: Germany (has at least 2 different USK logo versions)
711719973454: France

*Do not create a Sweden entry for this game until it can be confirmed the barcode is valid and a release exists. It is possible that it is a pre-release barcode that was not used.

General / Re: Is Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi good? Which one is the best one?

« on: July 13, 2016, 06:42:14 pm »

I have nearly completed Budokai 2, but Budokai 3 is kind of lacking. I think it is the same complaint I have when I compare SoulCalibur II and SoulCalibur III. The story mode in 2 I found to be worth going through, replay and grinding to unlock stuff. In the third game, it wasn't quite the same experience that I liked.

Hi, just joined the site, going through the process of adding my games, i made one mistake earlier whilst adding "2006 FIFA World Cup" i mistakenly listed it as PS Vita instead of PSP.

Welcome to the site. I have already sent you a pm about your editing.

The second listing does offer alternate boxart, but with no other information noted, I'm not sure if it's something that needs a separate listing.

The alternate artwork was a custom that people have made to be inserted into plastic cases. From what I can tell, this cart was included with a system on its own and was not released in a box at all.
