I didn't get a single thing. I just sat like this:

Oh, that's sweet! My Windows computer is also awesome, I'll take a screenshot right away.

[Off-Topic / Re: Show us your desktop!]

I poked around in my Power Mac G4 (that runs Tiger) to see if I could make it look a bit more like Leopard without the use of too much third party apps and/or the installation of... well. Leopard.
Turns out I could!

Since my collection of shoot 'em ups is starting to be pretty sweet on my 360 and I recently got a hold of a couple of fighters to the very same I went out and bought this:



I'm a complete joystick noob (I've always played with D-pad) but I feel quite confident with this. First impressions is that the square gate wasn't as awkward as I thought it was going to be and the layout (and number) of the buttons is perfect for me. Nice size on the box as well, I'm happy with it so far!

I bought these games today(ish):



I don't smoke but the game just seems so stupid I had to try it out. It costed me 1 swedish crown which is about.. $0,1.

And I got these for free:

[General Gaming / Re: What should be my next NES/Famicom shmup acquisition(s)?]

My favorite NES shmup is Over Horizon, I'd say it's definitely worth a look!

Gameplay

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: PCE shooters have lost their magic for me...]

My favorite shmup "vehicle" (not all are ships like we are about to be reminded of) is hands down Kiniro. The bug you ride on in Mushihimesama.



Close runner-up is Opa Opa.

I liked Calling on the Wii. It was by no means great, but it had a nice thing going now and then.

[Off-Topic / The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread]

I heard about those, they're supposed to be pretty good. At least after the circumstances!

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: So if you *do* judge a book by it's cover...]

This one is kinda cool.........

That IS kind of cool. It looks like shit at first but then it grows on me. It's so.. weird.

I absolutely LOVE this cover. For real. I like white tidy covers and this just made the top three. One of my previous favorite covers of all time is Suikoden though I haven't actually played the game...

[PCE/TG-16|CD/SGX Discussion / Re: So if you *do* judge a book by it's cover...]

I really like this cover.

It's not spectacular (and thankfully not space related) but it got me curious right from the start.

[General Gaming / Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.]

I have been playing a lot of Dig Dug today. Every Dig Dug-day is a good day.

[Off-Topic / Re: Random Pictures Thread]

Although I am a vegan I still can't resist to smile. I want to say something about how stupid it is, but I guess I have self-distance.

[Off-Topic / Re: Smartphone ..what are you rocking and is it rooted / Jailbroken]

I have one of these fellows:

I initially wanted the iPhone 4 until I learned the iPod-version was pretty much the same minus the cell phone but for less than half the price so.. I went with that. My killer-app: Espgaluda 2.

[Off-Topic / Re: Random Pictures Thread]

I love these kind of images. Good one!

Me too.

[Fighting Street / Re: This is without a question the worst board Aaron added to this forum.]

You'll learn, Lilgrafx. There's a whole world of Nintega-insanity so you are better off backing away silently, like me.

TGX16: Nerd is actually just nörd - someone who nows much about a certain subject. Tönt is more like geek, with a degree of negativity to it that is.

The vegetarian shoes are made of plain synthetic materials with recycled tires for soles. The slight funny thing about your thoughts about the green boots is that the only boots that are green irl is the regular ones (made out of dead animals and not spinach).

Also, I really don't get your comment on the blowjobpic. Can you maybe.. PM it in swedish or something, maybe it's translation problems.

Best christmas tree last year:

[Fighting Street / Re: almost pr0n]

[Off-Topic / Re: To tree or not to tree, that is the question.]

I love christmas trees but I don't have the money to buy a new one each year and I don't have the patience to water it/brush up all the stuff that falls off so I'm going plastic this year! This is mine:


And henrycsc; you win at life. For ever.

[Fighting Street / Re: Dear Santa Claus: Go Fuck Your self.....]

The classic, so we have it over with:


And my favorite:

[General Gaming / Re: Your Daily Dose of Gaming.]

Yeah, it is a bit on the small side. Have you tried that plastic thingy that can be taken apart into a "regular" gun as well as a rifle? I'm gonna try and find a picture..

Here:


Maybe that will fit our hands better? Maybe not, the front handle look a bit small.

[Off-Topic / Re: Show us your desktop!]

And here's how it's gonna be for quite some time.

Opethian: It's both. I have two LCD's and one CRT, but the CRT can only display 50hz. Unlucky! So, basically I have to get a whole new TV just for that one game. No way! But I DO need a TV for tate... Hmmm....

This arrived today:

Thank you RR1980!

[Fighting Street / Re: Nintega: still crazy after all these years (now with added Nazis!)]

It may seem like.. well, not 500. But the blackboard is almost 40 feet long.

[General Gaming / Re: Cool Console Mods!]

Here's my attempt:





I just made the basics, changed the red LED for blue, put some blue LEDs all around inside, made it silver instead of gray on the top half and put some blue bomber on it to finish it off. Nothing complicated you know, I wanted to start off easy and then I never advanced.. It is also fixed to play US-games but they run way too slow on a PAL-system anyway.

[Off-Topic / Re: Introducing myself]

Thanks! It's our livingroom so it's not quite devoted fully to games. We have our tv-setup there as well! ;) (We have a big HDTV, a small HDTV and a CRT-TV hooked up next to each other. I want a fourth one I can put in TATE-mode but that'll have to wait..)

Actually I don't REALLY hate sci-fi, I just find it boring (I like bullets and red blood, not lasers and green acid for example) but when I'm being washed with wave after wave of sci-fi-related movies, games and magazines I tend to be more aggressive in my choice of words. I love a childrens show called Kenny Starfighter, it's about a "intergalactic spacepolice" who fail at everything - looks like a cheesy cheese, have a hairminator, is best friends with a washing machine, drinks gasoline, says "say what?" after everything as if he never listens and I could go on and on about his greatness.



So, people started calling me Robin Starfighter and then I switched my first name (Robin) to Starfighter for real and now I'm living the hard intergalactic police-life allthough I'm not particularly fond of neither space nor the police. O:)

Edit: I found a clip where they put together a few of his "what did you say?". <3

[Off-Topic / Introducing myself]

Well, as many of you probably have noticed - I'm a new face here and I haven't really introduced myself properly.

I am a 25 year old guy from Malmö, Sweden who's real name is Starfighter Johansson. I was a total video game-nerd as a kid because I didn't have so much friends and didn't have so many other interests. When I discovered the punk scene at 14 the only things I cared about were alcohol and records so I sold pretty much every game I had to afford booze and 7-inch vinyls. After a few years I picked up an insanely overprized NES for poops and giggles and became addicted again. Since then I have collected games with passion, first off I bought back all the great games I sold, then I went out on a hunt for every game I wanted as a kid but never could afford. And now I'm just getting games I stumble upon that seems good. I don't collect games for the collections sake, I just get games I really want and don't care about complete sets of a consoles game library etc. But the collection is still pretty big (and always growing) with 30+ consoles and 500+ games.

I don't have a favorite console (allthough I'm very fond of my PC Engine right now) but the genres I generally prefer are platform, survival horror, puzzle and shoot 'em up.

I play guitar, bass and have the basics down in drums and the music I play - and listen to - is still punk. The angry stuff, mostly with d-beat in it. I have a thing for body modifications such as piercings, tattoos, scarrification and what have you - allthough I don't have so much of it myself apart from seven tattoos and a few face piercings (I have had them on other places as well but they're all gone today). I hate sports in real life and also in most video games, and I really hate sci-fi. The closest I get to that genre is the occasional shooter with sci-fi-theme.

I live in an apartment with my girlfriend and we have been together now for almost four years and the stuff we have in common is video games (yaay), dreadlocks and a kind of anarchistic view on the world, I guess you could say. I don't have a job but I have a "praktik", the translator said "work experience" so it's like.. you know, I work for no pay and instead get experience. At a library - and I love it. I like to organize shelves and input codes into systems.

I probably sound really egocentric talking so much about myself but I have a break at work now and don't have much else to do. Pictures of me, my collection and other random stuff is coming when I get home tonight.

You all seem to be cool (and somewhat kind ;)) persons so I'm looking forward to becoming an active part of your forum.

The games.. And some records, movies and what not. But mainly games.
