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.

Probably and accidentally destroyed the Sonic Adventure I just got in the mail for Dreamcast today. When it wouldn’t work, I put it through a retail disc scratch remover. Twice.
Those things just don’t seem to work like they used to. They probably used to contain sulfuric acid ’n shit.
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.

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.

is finding Skyrim much much less immersive than Oblivion, i just can’t be bothered with it.
You are not alone, I don’t even own it and I’m bored. I actually heard from someone I’ve been working with on a game project that they were playing & then turned off their XBox for a few months.

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.
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.

Pinball Arcade is out for the iOS, TOTAN is free. Just downloaded it, I’ll let you know.
So far there are 4 tables available, TOTAR (Tales of the Arabian Nights), Ripley’s Believe It or Not, Black Hole and Theatre of Magic. All of these are classic table and all from different manufacturers.
I believe there are 2 more tables promised soon, at least that’s what I thought I read when I immediately plugged in my 10 bucks for all tables offered (like a spastic goof). The tables are available individually for 2 bucks a piece or free to try until you get the high score.
This is definitely a package that I hope gets some major updates. The tables are not iPad quality (although the game is an asterisk title), the texture maps are low resolution.
All the elements that need to be fixed; Improved resolution, skill shots are not possible as the camera shifts to the front of the table to pull back the plunger instead of switching overhead to allow using the plunger meter markings, the dot matrix display is called a HUD and does not emulate dot matrix, the cameras force portrait mode of the IPad but the table is always angled back – if portrait mode is forced then I’d like a more top down view of the playfield.
Far Sight has some great licenses here and the physics are nice but they really need to step up the quality. To me the audience is going to be real pinball enthusiasts in which case the DMD, camera angles and Plunger elements need to be fixed or the folks who enjoy Zen Pinball in which case the graphics will need to be higher quality.
The iOS – Android developers are known to be more responsive to the public with updates and I hope this title follows suit. This is a great way to experience these tables for the first time or play them on the go and I really want it to live up to what I had expected.

Anyone who grew up with a Nintendo Entertainment System, and has a taste for the ultra-violence, should give this game a try: http://abobosbigadventure.com/fullgame.php
It’s a bloody mish-mosh of classic, and not so classic, characters and gameplay styles from a slew of NES games. You start of in Abobo’s home turf of Double Dragon, only there’s more than just street thugs trying to take you out. Bosses from Kung-Fu, goombahs, and Donkey Kong are only the beginning of what becomes a huge list of enemies you must punch and kick your way past in the most sadistic fashion. Civilians from River City Ransom become health power-ups, as Abobo rips their heads from their shoulders and with the flick of his wrist pops them his in his maw. It is not a game for the faint of heart.
I would go further, but that would spoil surprise after surprise that this game constantly delivers. So stop reading this and go play it now!

The Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning demo was fun. Not a big fan of the art style but since it takes place in the ’faelands’ I’ll give the fairy tale look a pass. The combat was pretty fun, I dug the stealth… this one may be worth picking up. But, I’m so busy with SWTOR I dunno if I’ll end up getting it.
I thought the demo was okay. It felt like a strange hybrid of Fable and Skyrim.

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.
