Ever have one of those moments where you swear you did something, but there’s no proof to it? I swear I’ve played Final Fantasy IX, Yet, I have no memory card file nor game to back my claim.

Fallout: New Vegas DLC edition!
Dead Money: For the first release, it’s quite difficult, mostly dealing with certain areas that will make you explode.
Honest Hearts: Not terrible in terms of adventuring and quests, but the terrain(mostly mountains) is very brain aching.
Old World Blues: Very funny, good experience gains, a few particular glitches, but probably the best out of the four.
Lonesome Road: Assuming it’s a good end piece, but the multiple Deathclaws are preventing any forward progress.

From what I’ve read, the Dreamcast disc is super tender, espescially near the inner ring. If that gets ripped up, basically, you have a junk disc. But I have a working Power Stone 1 and 2 ,so i’ll get another eventually.

Those things just don’t seem to work like they used to. They probably used to contain sulfuric acid ’n shit.

If you’re reading this, the odds are good that you 1) hate your job and 2) can’t really do much about it. But if you, say, were working on a project that would be seen by millions of people, then you could get creative about expressing your displeasure.

My aim is to have systems with a few key titles that show off the console good and maybe a few titles that I liked. I don’t plan on going too deep or obscure with consoles, pretty much the ones that everyone had.
Thinking back on it, I was always missing a system or two during each generation. And they all would be traded in towards the next system. Ah, the short-sightedness of youth.

So, I’ve been toying with the idea of starting a collection of the older systems. And by toying with, I mean have already started.(You don’t buy a Gamecube to use as your main console in today’s day and age.) I was wondering if the peoples had any tip or tricks to help out.
Even today video-game gems will turn up in Thrift Stores and Garage Sales.
Do you means systems that are gems or games for certain systems like the Game Cube you just picked up?
Game Cube, try to find Odama, it must be complete with microphone!
Looking around the old Classic Gaming Kitchen, there are a lot of gems but, most of them I’m sure you already have like a Dreamcast and Saturn or most you might not have in mind like the RCA Studio II or the Fairchild Channel F.
Unfortunately, the consoles I consider real gems and I still play are also ones that the toy-boy-crotch-wad-geeks charge way too much for. As you might know, the PC Engine is my favorite system, you might be able to get a core cheap but then you’re stuck with only HuCard titles, scoring a Duo is the ticket with that system.
You can also find 3DOs out there but, the quality titles are limited and it’s difficult to find one with a working drive so, look for the crappier made flip tops.
Saturn is another of my favorite consoles but for me, you really need a Japanese and an American one to get the full library or quality titles (or a chipped and switched one).
If you’re looking for places to pick them up, Craigslist is often a good place to get an entire console and library in one shot if the price is right. Thrift stores also work but, for some reason they’ll often mark older systems far higher than they are worth. eBay tends to be the one constant if you play it right. Bid low, if you get outbid, don’t get in a bidding war, the title or console will comeback again, it’s just a matter of time.
Even the crappiest system I’ve scored (like the Playdia) was worth the play. I’ve resold that long ago along worth systems I actually cared about but, it’s nice to experience any original console vs only having them on emulation.
My aim is to have systems with a few key titles that show off the console good and maybe a few titles that I liked. I don’t plan on going too deep or obscure with consoles, pretty much the ones that everyone had.

So, how many people do I need to bribe to get them to buy UFC 3? Having a ton of fun so far.

Big question (that I felt like I’ve asked before) to the group: Game hardware boxes, value keepers or space wasters?
Toss ’em, unless they’re 20 years old or older.
People on eBay looking to sell their systems are willing to pay for cardboard to get a higher price for the system they’re trying to auction off. Give it a try. I’d say anything from Dreamcast back.

I am having tons of fun with this game…and the music is just as good as the game.
Running from the cops while the theme song from the Venture Bros. is playing is so fun.

Super Mario 3D Land (3DS):Yes, it’s very pretty, but absolutely no new ground is broken in terms of gameplay, which doesn’t mean it’s not fun.

Finally cleared all the stages on all difficulties in Elite Beat Agents (DS). A whole lot of tapping was had. Although, I do feel they should have called it Elite Part-Way-matching-the-song-some-of-the-time Agents.

Shadows of the Damned: It’s a fun, albeit short, over the shoulder shooter, but the lack of wrestling moves from a Suda 51 game is surprising.

Dead Island:This game is kinda like cocaine, you know it’s pretty bad, but you still have fun with it.
I agree..The game is kinda stupid and the controls are a little wonky but I can not put it down.So much fun.

WWE All Stars(XB360): Even though it does take me back to playing with wrestling figures, it has the worst commentary since Crush Hour.
All stars was a really pleasant surprise for me- not outstanding but good fun and clearly made by people who care about the source material. Wwe 12 meanwhile looks to be every inch a typical yuke’s wrestling game despite the alleged ”big changes”. Colour me skeptical.
Also crush hour was JR’s finest hour.
