« on: October 16, 2011, 12:53:53 am »
Simple rules.

First to guess to game wins the round. If you guess it correctly you can either post your own (asap) or skip and i will post another one :)
Try to post the full name and the console it's on, even if it's obvious.


First one is easy.

Site Feedback / Game count bug
« on: September 30, 2011, 11:41:30 am »
A while back I added 2 final fantasy blurays to my collection. unfortunately Scott had to delete them off of the database. my total game count is still + 2 though. Im guessing that if you don't remove the game from your collection before its deleted from the database, it keeps them in the total games count.

VGCollect for Android / wishlist
« on: September 21, 2011, 02:11:00 pm »
I think this would be fairly easy to implement to the app. A wishlist button a lot like the collection button. Just put it next to the collection button and then move the logout to the bottom in a flat red rectangular shaped button.

Modern Video Games / FFX HD ps3 (and vita)

Looks like ffx is getting released in HD. I wonder how good it will look. I doubt its a remake. A lot of people are screaming for an FFVII remake but I think this is just an optimization whereas FFVII needs a full remake...

either way I'm getting this for my collection. probably won't play it for ages. I have a lot of FF to get through. :p

Modern Video Games / game development (udk)
« on: August 31, 2011, 09:13:37 pm »
I've been working with UDK for the past few months. I have a background 3D modelling and all that but not coding. I was wondering if anyone knew anything about programming in game engines. specifically udk.

I can make most of the game I'm working on but have somewhat lost motivation because I can make the environments but not make the playable part.

I didn't see a thread about this and its always fun to show off what you've just added to your collection :)

I was at HMV today and I found a sealed FFXIII, they're pretty hard to find in stores because the greatest hits version of it is out. The seal has a tiny little break in it (really small) but I'll make sure to keep it safe. There is one graded on ebay for $200 and another for $60. Made $30 either way, it'll increase in value.

General / What are your other hobbies?
« on: August 10, 2011, 09:59:54 pm »
I'd like to get to know what people around here do when they aren't working, playing video games or hunting them down. Do you guys have any other hobbies/ interests?

Me? I like to build computers, overclock and such. I'm a big PC gamer, I also make youtube videos (involves editing + rendering) so I like to get the most out of my computer. Best bang for a buck. I've had my PC for quite a 3-4 years now and it's still a pretty solid build and can still keep up with games (upgraded gpu more recently).

I also like to work on cars. I bought my car brand new when I was pretty young and have put a little money here and there. After a few years of hunting deals for used parts. I've gotten a nice little set of mods for pretty cheap. It's got quite the ricey look, a lot of people don't like it but meh. I had fun working on the car. Where I'm moving the lights aren't legal anyways so they will rarely be lit. (Since the picture, it's been lowered 2 inches.) When i go to car shows. I leave the car unlit and let the people have their show, I'm not "That guy".





I also snowboard and am quite the adrenaline junkie. I go cliff jumping into water and such.

Wow....

Marketplace / Plastic Boxes/Sleeves?
« on: August 05, 2011, 11:42:30 am »
I'm not sure if this is the right place for this.

I'm looking for plastic (acrylic) boxes to put vintage games in to keep them safe. Flimsey ones are also ok although not preferable. Where do people find these? I've got around hobby stores and such and haven't found any :/

thanks

General / Favorite/Most Prized Game
« on: August 05, 2011, 11:21:51 am »
What's your most prized possession in your collection? It doesn't have to be the most expencive. It can be something that holds the most value to you (nostalgic, emotional .etc)

For me, right now it's my Final Fantasy II (USA) game. I got it just last week. It's the First Final Fantasy game I ever played. It wasn't mine so I obviously didn't keep it.

The game is complete and in mint condition. As of now it's probably the most valueable piece of my collection but I think it's more of a nostalgic thing than a money thing.

Modern Video Games / PS3 Airflow Mod
« on: August 04, 2011, 03:24:00 pm »
So i have an original 60Gb PS3 and paid top dollars for it when it came out. The older PS3s unfortunately can't keep up with todays games and have been YLODing left and right. I took apart my PS3 and actually examined the airflow. (I've reflowed it 5+ times, I am a pro at taking it apart xD). There is an absurd amount of restriction in the fat PS3s airflow. Seeing as i don't want to go buy a new PS3 (I already paid for one, why should I pay for another?). I decided to mod it myself.

Unfortunately i didn't have the right tools to do what I wanted too and I kind of failed. The mod works great but doesn't look good.

The bottom of the PS3 is where the fan gets it's air from and the space between the hardware and the case is about 1-2 CM. not a lot of room for airflow. What I decided to do was make a hole in the bottom of the case so that the PS3 can get direct airflow. on top of that, I added a fan to push more air into it. What happened is that the plastic was too brittle and not having a drill meant i had to make weak points and gradually get rid of plastic. the brittleness of the plastic made it snap under little pressure and not follow weakened points. Thankfully it wasn't too bad of a break.

I also got a fan and converted it into a usb fan. (a little wiring required). USB supplies 5v whereas a 3-4 pin connector will supply 12v so the fan runs at half efficiency. it's not a big deal as it's only there to direct air towards the main PS3 fan.

As you can see in the pictures, the case is a little broken but this works surprisingly well. The PS3 doesn't get anywhere near as hot as it used too. Hopefully it will now survive.

Site Feedback / A few things regarding website and forums
« on: July 30, 2011, 09:43:27 pm »
I think it would be nice to distinguish in our collections if a game is sealed, cib. (I see you have a few checkboxes already)

Different collections would be nice (folders). I collect Final Fantasy games but also have a lot of other collectibles. I don't want those lists to be mixed. Thus far I've only entered my Final Fantasy stuff in.

Quick tags would be fun when posting. What i mean is like a little bold B and when you click on it, it adds a [ b] [ /b] in your post.

A forum section about "Find of the week". I'm sure a lot of you win good auctions or find a bulk of games at goodwill or something. it would be fun to have a section to share that in :)

Ohh and add Wonderswan to consoles ;)
