The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

[VenomMacbeth]

Got this thing today.  Not sure what good it is, hopefully it plays Hucards...

[bob]

Congrats man!  Hopefully your spirits are raised exponentially.
Does it play netfix?

[NecroPhile]

Congrats!  Before you know it, you'll be teaching him in the ways of OBEY.

[esadajr]

Congrats Venom!



I'm surprised "Eee Tee" hasn't gone up in price.

[esteban]

Congrats 

[cr8zykuban0]

congrats on your newborn venom!!!

[HailingTheThings]

Congrats, venom!  Did you name him Obey? Obey Macbeth sounds pretty cool.

Obeynesia! Works for both a boy or girl! Yeah!

Haha, Grats! Please do not attempt to play any Hucards on it, as it will only emit loud audio.

Congrats man!  I have child number 3 coming any day now.  My wife has been having contractions since Saturday.  Is that your first child?

[VenomMacbeth]

Yup!  First and only.

@everyone else, thank you for the congrats & well-wishes!

Hahaha... be very careful then. We were only going to have 2.  The factory is getting shut down after this one.  You will love it.  Even the deliriousness caused by lack of sleep is totally worth the end result.

[xcrement5x]

Congrats on the baby man!  The first 3 months is the worst in terms of sleep deprivation, but it's so great as time goes on.


I swung by my local thrift on Friday since I had a coupon and went to town a bit on the electronics section.



Duo/Genesis 1 AV cable
N64 Save Card
N64 TiltPAK (Sealed and looks pretty le dumbs)
PS2 Controllers x2
XBOX Controller (Pelican Brand)
Slim PS2 with all hookups (Yay! There is some black sharpie on it though denoting the previous owner)
Electric Carving Knife (for a side project)


These also showed up during the week




I got a couple SMS games from owly who picked them up locally and then sent them to me.
Captain Silver [SMS]
Slap Shot [SMS]

Plus when my inlaws came to visit they brought a box of stuff my wife and I had left in IL, including my awesome Kamen Rider mask!  I got this at the Japanese festival that was happening last time we were home, but wasn't able to pack it to bring back on the plane.


Finally, some stuff from feebay came in...



Just a simple batch of Genny games I grabbed off ebay.  Only three of them are new to me, which is kind of sad

Marko
Radical Rex
Wheel of Fortune
HardBall III
Sonic 3D Blast
Toy Story

[Arjak]

Toy Story was one of my favorite games as a kid, and not just because I loved the movie. It's actually a really decent action-platformer, with some really technically impressive levels (which were taken out of the SNES version, I believe). I'll always have a soft spot for the first-person level where you have to find the squeeze toy aliens in the maze. I thought it was so cool at the time, and now I can also appreciate how impressive it is from a programming standpoint.

Something I ordered that I'm really excited about should be coming today. It's not gaming related, but I'll try to post a picture anyway.

[Sparky]

I got this in the mail.. 12 volt motors are so tiny


For my daughters pegro dirt bike.. I toasted the motor (( blush))

[Nando]

They are fairly programmable lol

Congrats to you as well and good luck.

shockboxes for the mvs games came in today!

[jtucci31]

some stuff I got a few days back...

That 360 game on the left, i almost bought it one day at a local store but i didn't. Can't remember the name but it looked cool. If you haven't already played it, let me know how it is!

Are those region free? Even with the lists, I'm wary of importing X360 stuff. PS3 on the other hand...

[esadajr]

and speaking of imports the Fedex guy just brought this yesterday.



It's not like the best racing game but it is fun, and most of the menus are in english, which is always welcome.

Name that new import smell!!!

While you play that funky music white boy!

[NecroPhile]

I picked up Hypernova Blast yesterday.

How does that work?  It looks like a record but there is no hole in the middle?

[BlueBMW]

I think it looks like a 45 and has a big hole in the center.  That graphic must be from the inside of the back of the sleeve.

[esteban]

It's a 45 on top of some game we are supposed to guess. It looks modern so I have no idea what game it is. YU GHI GO

You figured out my intent.


Wrong game. Blah.

Hint: PS3 tittle

[esteban]

Oh, it's a tittle. Hmmmmm.....

[Medic_wheat]

Hint #2:  it's a Capcom game

[jordan_hillman]

Captain Commando...

No

Hint #3:  it is a spin-off title from a game series started last gen with only three games so far (not including this spin-off game)

Blades of Vengeance is a fantastic game. And not enough good can be said about Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Yes, I've really enjoyed Blades during the time I've spent with it.

[o.pwuaioc]

And not enough good can be said about Zombies Ate My Neighbors

Only one bad thing: better on the SNES.

[ToyMachine78]

Meh... I find the differences marginal.

[jordan_hillman]

My old next-door neighbor used to have it, and we would play that bastard all damn day.

I'm thinking I will definitely pick that game up soon to rehash some old childhood memories.

I agree. Differences are pretty small compared to some other Genesis/SNES ports.

I'm looking at you Wrestlemania the Arcade Game!

[Mishran]

32X version of Wrestlemania is king.

32X version of Wrestlemania is king.

Haven't played it, but damn does it look good (which seems to be a rarity for the 32X, but I'll also admit that I've played very few games for it).

The PS1 port is also really solid, except for the odd lack of music during gameplay.

[bob]

I wish they made a proper port of the original WWF Superstars. I used to spend tons of quarters on that one.

[DeshDildo]

New stuff... Posted zombies a few days ago....

Oooo Shadowrun.  I just got that recently as well but haven't had a chance to check it out yet.  I've heard it's good.

[ToyMachine78]

I haven't played it yet either, but can't wait to

[jordan_hillman]

No proper ports of WWF Superstars, X-Men: The Arcade Game (until recently), or the Simpson's Arcade (once again, until recently) were crimes against humanity back in the 1990s

[cr8zykuban0]

new pickups came in today! A nice pc engine boxed with everdrive, panic bomberman, and came with duo-r&duo-rx controllers. Plus a cheap mvs lot, not the best looking but with new labels and a clean up, they'll be good to go!

That's a nice looking Duo R. Same with the box too. I'm jealous of the RX pad. Nice stuffs!
