Does it have anything to do with Warioland on the VB?

I picked up Dragon Knight II & III for a little less than $25 at a local shop. Not a great deal or anything, but so far worth the cash. DKII is missing the manual tho. XD I hate that.

Digi.k · 09/25/2008, 09:51 AM

my pc parts arrived today.. the old one seems like its starting to choke.

/IMG_1007.jpg

this is the list.. (excluding Vista 64 which is about $140 USD) came to £257 is roughly $477 USD.. which makes me wonder if its cheaper in the USA..

/newpcprice.jpg

Just waiting on the Vista 64 to arrive and maybe might order a new monitor..

MissaFX · 09/25/2008, 09:56 AM

Looks great cept for the wireless mouse. They are crap. Get a MS lasermouse 4000 or higher (with a cord)

Digi.k · 09/25/2008, 10:12 AM

ya the mouse supplied with the wireless keyboard does feel a bit cheap but... as long as its comfortable I'll just end up tolerating it

Whats really weird is the new CPU's don't have any pins like the old ones that have 100's of em' just place it into the cpu socket and clamp it down.. O-o

Not today, but last friday:

Together with this controller

on thursday i completed the system with an original IR-controller:

Now i can turn on/off and reset the console without standing up, only with the IR-Controller

I hope the system feels good in it's corner

guyjin · 09/26/2008, 07:56 PM

awesome.

Joe Redifer · 09/27/2008, 02:31 AM

Nice purchase there MissaFX. Was it mint/complete? How much was shipping?

Ninja Spirit · 09/27/2008, 12:24 PM

Two kickass webcams both for 13 bucks in one package! No more jerky live streaming of PCE plays

$5.79, and it probably cost a dollar or two to drive there. Plus I tipped a dollar.
It was mint when I got it, but something happened in a blind munching rage and by the time I opened the box again almost half of it was gone!

Castle of Shikigami III (Wii)-decent, if somewhat unspectacular

Ceti Alpha · 10/01/2008, 01:46 PM

Got Macross 2036 from GUTS and a backup compact flash card from Missa for my Juno-G. Both items will be providers of much fun...the compact flash card will allow for fun, indirectly.

Oh, and I know why these items took longer than usual to arrive - customs must be getting suspicious of all the mail I'm receiving. Both packages were opened. If the RCMP and Canada Customs want to have Turbografx Tournaments, they can get their own games.

nat · 10/01/2008, 03:11 PM

At least you got them. I'm serious, after our ordeal, I honestly believe Canadian Customs has it's eye on you.

Yeah, I'm convinced of it. I wonder if CSIS has me on a watch list.

Is that CSI: Saskatchewan? Apparently the mounties don't like you importing weapons of mass amoosement.

td741 · 10/01/2008, 04:29 PM

CSIS is kind of like the Canadian version of the CIA.

Joe Redifer · 10/02/2008, 04:33 AM

Yesterday I bought Iron Man on the Blu-ray format, which is better than LaserDisc.

Turbo D · 10/02/2008, 04:37 AM

While Blu-ray is king on HD televisions, LaserDisc is not too far behind. I watched a laserdisc on an HD tv and have to say that I was surprised! The quality seemed up there with Blu-ray! I know it sounds crazy, but it did. heh.

Joe Redifer · 10/02/2008, 06:36 PM

LOL. I recorded a TV movie broadcast on a channel which I can barely receive (lots of static) in VHS EP and then dubbed it down to many other tapes (VHS EP each way). The end result looks absolutely no different than a 70mm film presentation at a real movie theater.

albinoMithos · 10/02/2008, 06:48 PM

Well here are my recent acquisitions

Yeah I had to get doki doki and I never really played Animal Crossing when it came out so I decided to give it a try.

It's the Konami Game Master 2. It does alot of cool stuff with konami games like stage select, extra lives, screen captures, built-in SRAM for games like Metal Gear 2 & Contra, and my favorite - save states to disk.

Hehe. That's Outroyd, it's a RPG sort like the original Hydlide. From what I played you roam around taking over enemy bases for booty and powerups. You find new parts to upgrade your robot body and supposedly they're parts that transforms you into a plane or something like that. I haven't got far in the game. The main theme rocks in classic PSG.

nectarsis · 10/06/2008, 09:30 PM

Just curious as that bears a DAMN close resemblance to...

rolins · 10/06/2008, 09:39 PM

I've never watched Votoms before but I see the resemblance. Votoms was out in 1983-84 and Outroyd in 1985, the artist must of been watching Votoms when he was asked to make a cover.
