[Buy/Sell/Trade / Looking for Airzonk Manual and TG Power Adapter]

Hi,

I am looking for a minty manual for Airzonk.  I would pay for it, or trade other turbob or other game stuff.  Please let me know.  This means a lot!

I would be interested in any original TG16 power adapter, but also the CD adapter (way harder to find)

Thanks

[General Gaming / Re: Octurbofest]

That was so much fun!

I wanted to thank everyone for setting it up, being there, taking care of the logistics, organizing tournaments, bringing amazing prizes, and everyone being spectacular (haven't used that word in a while) It was really nice seeing so much obey. 

I can't wait until next time, sigh.

So, I am looking to get these two games. Zero Wing and Alice in Wonderdream.....

I can pay with paypal, (and include shipping), or possible trade for other stuff?

Looking for complete, but may take some loosey goosey.  I haz lots of stuff to trade. (turbob, nes, snes, n64, atari, etc, and etc)

Thanks!

[General Gaming / Re: Octurbofest]

Wondering if y'all are interested in bringing turbobs for trading and such?

Lol.  Too bad you didn't wait to lure in Alexduo...

I had the good sense to not "bid" on this, thank you very much.... But I would still be interested in snorting some of the plastic off the game. 

Magical Chaze can't be broken by the foot of a mortal. It must be swallowed by The Devourer (AKA Alexsduo) and both must then be hurled into the fires of Mount Doom.

LOL.  That is funny.  Also, "The Devourer" is your Mom's nickname for my genital and mouth region, whilst "Mount Doom" is surely where I put said "The Devourer".

Oh, make sure the controller settings are good.  You need to press your umbrella, and have it stay out and collect bubbles and make big ones.  If you have it set to turbo, you are gonna have a bad time.

The funny part is the stuff came in an old box, "Bob's Turbo Graphics"

I wonder if "Zach" is like the Dell guy, who got busted with drugs after his commercials.... can we find that guy and see what he is up to?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Curtis_%28actor%29

Yes, that is a link to Ben Curtis's Wikipedia page, whom we know has an addiction problem.  However, the young man in question is the guy on the Turbo Grafx box.  I would like to know his name, his whereabouts and what he is wearing. 

Link was posted to give more insight into the Dell guy himself. A lot of people actually don't remember him or have any idea who that clown was, so your brief mentioning of him may hold no meaning for some. Same as if out of no where I made a comparison to the Rallys cha ching guy. A lot of people don't remember him, and most seem to not realize it was Seth Green. As for your Turbografx kid, odds are no one will ever know who he is. Its not worth pondering over.

Um, have you seen some of the pointless, dumb, and not worth pondering over moments, mostly posted by me?  I want to know what he knows, and see what he has seen.  I am sure we can figure this one out...

[General Gaming / Re: Turbo Fest (VGS) 2012]

Speaking of the show...

Did any of you guys happen to use the bathroom from 11-4?  I walked in, and instantly was weirded out.  There were 3 guys hanging by the sink, with the water running full force, just standing there..

I notice that they have a bottle of gin, and a 20 of beer, and they are apparently getting drunk in el bano.  Not sure if the water on full blast is to scare people away, or so no one can hear them drinking.

Needless to say, I got out of there, and didn't lose anything.... Could that have been any of you guys?

LOL! Wasn't any of us. I don't think any here that went are that hardcore about getting drunk at a gaming convention.

LOL... I didn't mean any of what I was saying to be insulting btw, I was more surprised to see drinking...

[Fighting Street / Re: Bad Turbob Buyers]

My first CD Turbob, was in when I was still in school.  Someone had it on craigslist...

Craigslist was around while you were in school?  I feel old.

Well post graduate school.... If I had craigslist in college, I would be dead or on hoarders right now.

[Fighting Street / Re: Bad Turbob Buyers]

My first CD Turbob, was in when I was still in school.  Someone had it on craigslist, and I was trying to get it real bad.  It was boxed, etc. I didn't know anything about the CD units, and he had me come inside his home (with his wife and young daughter) and had me play Ninja Spirit for a couple minutes... I bought it and went on my way.

A couple days later I got a CD-ROM game, and tried to play it.  Nada, it didn't spin, or do anything.  Thought I was doing it wrong.  Email the guy, and he's like.  "I know.  It doesn't really work." 

Oh, well thanks for telling me after I paid you your full asking price.  Especially, after you had no discs to try it, but you learn. 

And for doing something shady like that, really?  Especially when you let me in your apartment with your young daughter and wife.  I am sure people have done terrible stuff for less than that, in regards to buying broken, stolen, or counterfeit stuff online...

[Fighting Street / Bad Turbob Buyers]

OK,

I was thinking of all the times I bought Turbob from people and several stuck out..

1.  Not too bad at all.  Husband and wife and I found each other using the interwebs.  They sold me a fat stack of Turbobs in case, great games etc.  They were very cool, and everything was good.  Then as we were leaving, they were all kind of smiley, and were like.  "Yeah, so we found these in/near the dumpster", and I was like, thanks for telling me, I'm going to use purell.

2.  Other guy, had a huge lot of bobs, which I needed to help my collection.  I drove a long way, paid a lot of money, and he wouldn't really bargain at all, met the guy.  He showed me everything, looked good, paid etc.  Then he tells me how he found all of this shit at a rummage sale for $1 each, and blah blah blah.  I get home, and Order of the Griffon is missing. 

3.  High school "friend" borrowed bonk and something else.  Never game them back, found out he pawned them for mind altering stuff?

4.  Bought 2 systems, lots of games, etc, had to drive far away, through a very not good area.  Everything looks ok, later missing Airzonk... Then I contact him, says it was worth more, and decided to sell it on ebay (without lowering price), thanks buddy!

The last buy, Sinistron was missing from case, and not in the system....

I guess it taught me to inspect every game every time!

I buy a lot of stuff on the internets, and most of the time, no one ever tells me that they found the games or whatever for free or low cost or anything like that... And I buy a lot of random and stupid shit...

I was wondering if you guys had bad turbob stories? I am certainly not complaining about these couple, but they were somewhat memorable turbob... And I have not gotten raped, or killed yet!

I'll never understand people that just throw something up on eBay to sell.  Where's the presentation?  This kind of thing says to me, "I've had this shit in a box for years and never took care of it.  Buy it from me."

I could stick my head up a bulls ass, but I would rather take the Butcher's word for it.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone with the game I want a flake?]

I am a guy, and trust me. I most likely wouldn't find you hot. [/quote]
So you are saying there is a chance?!?!?!?! (Jim Carey voice)

Alex, its a video game..............buy a case, label it and pretend its in there and jack off to the spine label.  

Seriously....its just a game, you need to relax and dig your head out of your a$$.

Do you ever consider that you have so many feelers out there on the wide internet that people are offering you the game just to fuck with you?  I mean seriously you email any person that posts the game for sale on ebay and removes the auction before you get a chance to buy it.  Gougers are getting over 2000.00; do you honestly think your 700.00 measures up to that?

Come on.......

I didn't realize that the game with manual is going for over 2,000.  I certainly have not seen it that high. I am not really sure why you suggest I email every seller asking them to end the auction.  There was a bin at 550, that two very cool individuals sent to me on here, and by the time I checked my phone it had dissapeared.  

Man I was going to sell you my loosey for $400 too until I saw this.....

Dude, if you are going to make a comment like this, at least put some effort into it.  I mean seriously.  Take a photo of the game, or even lift one from the net, type out a small contract, and then write, "mahw wahh mah amd $400, the chase, mah wah mah"

But enough hate.  There is so much hate on the internet, and it is way easier to tell someone that they are gay, or that you had sex with their mom, and not in those words, so I thank you for that.  Name calling is cool too.  

And, in return, here are some 21 inspiring pictures that may cheer you guys up.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone with the game I want a flake?]

Sparky, your moose picture is compelling.  I consider you a friend.

Vestcunt, I have effectively already killed my chances of buying from a forum member.  I realized that when I posted a ton of stupid shit.  Now, I could make a new account and pretend to be someone else, and that would be a much likelier way for me to get a game.  I haven't been spamming for 3 years, thanks...  Btw, Vestcunt, if that is your real name, what is the game "worth"?  On this forum, it may be reasonable, however on ebay/craigslist it gets out of control.  I was just expressing the gouging on craigslist, as I had never thought about it.  Why post something for a price only to say, no that is not the price it is higher.  I also tried to buy a double tama bass pedal, listed for $20, the guy was like, well the price is 30 now.  I didn't tell that story, but now I did.  When I post on craigslist, I post more than I want, so when someone says I will give you x, my x + 50 is fine because I asked more than I wanted.  However, when someone says I want 250, or whatever, and then I or y'all agree, then they say well it is actually 300 now.  That doesn't make sense. 

This is the first time "I have sulked back to the forum", and apparently my first time to the fighting street, I thought this is the place to swear, bitch, and complain.  But maybe not.  Maybe there should be the complaint alley, where I, alone can post.  I can also write letters to people and rip them up.  My analyst says this is a great idea. 

I offered 700 with a pristine manual and fake case, if you must know.  Seller was down, and then when I tried to plan a meeting it was, "that was your offer then, you are free to make a new offer"

Necro, I was waiting for you to chime in.  Man, you are going to hit 10k posts soon, that would make any mortal feel like a god. 

I was talking about both items in the same 15 minutes or so. 

Two peeps on craigslist, made a deal, and then told me there was no deal, but I could offer more money.  Hence, the whiny annoying post.

Can we push our dinner and drinks to 7 pm this week? I have another appointment.

Geise:  good one, you got me there. 

Opethian:  I play a decent amount of games... I am not asking for sympathy, I just wanted to feel loved.  You helped make this happen.

 "stop trying to be a collector if you cant afford it..."  Really?

 Btw, you probably don't know anything about my financial situation. Nor, do you know anything about my collecting.  I consider collecting to be one of the most fun things you can do legally, sober, or while being clothed, or naked.  You don't need money to be a collector, and you don't need rare games either.  A single copy of a shitty sports game at a thirft store can turn someone into a lifelong collector.  It is about the fun and joy of going to garage sales, scouring the net, and (sometimes vomiting, I mean buying a game on ebay).  Getting some rare game won't make me a better person, or more elite, it will be just one more game to beat.

mad love.

[Fighting Street / Re: Why is everyone with the game I want a flake?]

I just had a few bad transactions with craigslist, so this was definitely a whine, but I just thought that some of you guys could relate.  I was reallying trying to surprise my ladyfriend with an ipad on cl, someone emailed me saying that he had a white one for $250 if I was interested, I said yes, and then he told me that he was putting it on craigslist anyway, for 300.  And, I am like ummm, why, you just emailed me saying you would take $250...

I was kinda bored, and pissed off, and both things happened within 15 minutes, and I wanted to bitch a little, and thought some of you guys would understand, but apparently this is not the case. 

@Vestcunt, I would prefer at least a 3/4 violin, if possible, much better sound.

@Sparky, thanks for your kind words.  You seem to have a decent setup and I would assume you have used this community to further that purpose.  Now, this is fighting street, so I could talk mad shit, or insult you, but why?  I love the TG so much I wouldn't get any joy out of that. 

Yes, my posting was probably annoying, but it is in fighting street, and this is the first time (I think) I have complained about something like this.  Yes, I was wrong to ask for the game many times, but get over it.  P.S. I wasn't asking for the game, I was just bitching.  Also, I don't need your non existent charity.  You are probably the rudest Canadian I have heard of, which is saying a lot. 

@Opethian, I am not whining to "get my way", I was just annoyed and thought some of you guys would understand.  Am I whining for someone to "sell" me the game, or to give me a better deal? No, I am sure the guy(s) I spoke with are not members here, nor do they have any idea about it.  I bet you stopped whining at age 6?

@PCEngineHell, I am not even sure how to respond.  What are you talking about, and what planet are you from?  No one asked you for a diagnosis, and I seriously doubt you are qualified to give such advise.  Are you licensed from any of the state licensing boards (assuming you are in the United States, and not outer space)

Oh, I am not actually a woman, but I hear women do not like being called "cunts", unless you say it in a Scottish accent, and then, and only then, it is slightly better. 

Does a single google search with someone's email constitute "a glimmer of stalker like ability"?  If so, then I am Mr. Fucking Sherlock Holmes to you sir, good day.

"but I promise you'll never annoy anyone else again."

You have got to be kidding me.  How exactly are you going to ensure I never annoy anyone again?  Delete my pcenginefx account, remove my fingers, and larnx, delete my internet account, kill me, etc?

@Tatsujin: are you wishing death upon me, because if so that is pretty rude.  I am not really sure what whine and shine is, maybe there is a language barrier. 

@Theoldrover, true,

@Joshuaturbo, thanks for positive words

I was going to originally title this thread "first world problems", but I thought it was assumed.

I am not looking for a handout, I was simply bitching along the lines of "ebay gougers" as someone agreed to sell me something I wanted at a premium, only to later tell me that the high offer I made was now not good enough. 

Is this different than bitching about the ebay gougers and resellers?
