The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

They're all solid games, and Parodius Da is probably the weakest.

wildfruit · 09/11/2017, 07:54 PM

I boughts teh new internets connection

o.pwuaioc · 09/11/2017, 08:39 PM

Jesus that's good. Mine pales in comparison, especially upload. What do you even need all that speed for?!

NecroPhile · 09/12/2017, 09:26 AM

Warp speed porn!

And since you're in the UK, it's probably dirt cheap compared to what a similar connection would cost here in cornland.

It's not that cheap. But not quite as expensive as US. About 65 of your colonial dollars will buy that speed with a phone line and unlimited phone calls. I had internet and phone for free all last year from bagging an offer from another provider that shouldn't have existed really existed. Swings and roundabouts here. There is limited gigabit internet dotted around in very small locales.

NecroPhile · 09/12/2017, 03:17 PM

The two options here are $95 for 80mbps and phone or $90 ($120 after the first year) for 300mbps and phone, plus whatever taxes and fees they tack on.

I'd be all over that. Of course, plenty of things in the UK that cost more, but damn that's nice.

I got some nice stuff coming in the mail. Well, I'm excited for all of it anyway. It's going to require a complete reworking of a room to set-up so there is that. G70 CRT projector, MUCH better speakers than what I currently have and I'm building my own screen for it.

Ys VIII Special Edition came in the mail yesterday for my PS4. Honestly I was a little underwhelmed with the prologue section, but as soon as the main quest got under way the music suddenly decided to sound like an Ys game and the gameplay became satisfying. The awesome packaging (coolest I've ever seen) is icing on the cake.

Bloufo · 09/14/2017, 09:30 AM

and an Xbox One S

Actually, no.

It's just a cheapie Chinese type knock-off system filled with a few emulators and games, incl CPS1/CPS2/Neo

The emulation quality is all over the place. Some games play decently, others are tolerable and there are others where the playability is fooked.

The system case is pretty nice, though. It would be ideal to stick a Raspberry Pi in there. Which I reckon is what I'm going to end up doing with this.

esteban · 09/14/2017, 03:53 PM

XBOX ONE S (hahahahahhaha). Greatness

munchiaz · 09/14/2017, 05:12 PM

Got Ys VIII a few days ago. Finally get to play tonight

Gredler · 09/15/2017, 01:18 AM

Excited to dig into this! A day early, and some sweet toys to stare at when I am wanting to actually play the game

xcrement5x · 09/15/2017, 06:12 PM

I've finally got my Ys Origins PAX Variant from Limited Run Games and Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of Dana Limted Edition from NIS America both in hand.

Good weekend $10 PS4 game (worked Best Buy over) lol

Bloufo · 09/18/2017, 02:18 AM

Found one of these for the equivalent of about $75. It's got a Pandora's Box 4S 680 on the inside.

johnnykonami · 09/18/2017, 11:33 AM

I forget what day, but I bought Cuphead on Steam and am eagerly awaiting it's release! Same day the Snes Mini comes out, which I will also try to get.

xcrement5x · 09/18/2017, 01:07 PM

Nice deal on Valkyrie Revolution! I want to pick that up as well.

check your local Best Buy or Walmart I had it price match to Amazon for $15 and I had a $5 reward certificate at Best Buy couldn't pass it up

Flare65 · 09/18/2017, 02:19 PM

Really digging Ys Origin

Gypsy · 09/19/2017, 11:14 PM

Some old shit no one cares about. Got it all cheap and happy to have em.

Mathius · 09/19/2017, 11:18 PM

I have all the Quest For Glory games on Steam but haven't put much time in any of them yet. I was always more of a King's Quest VI and LucasArts guy. I'd love to find another KQ VI CIB like I had in my early teens.

Gypsy · 09/19/2017, 11:50 PM

I played them a looong time ago. Revisiting them will be interesting.

I am not familiar with Shadows of Darkness...

Digi.k · 09/20/2017, 07:59 AM

I've only played KQ5 and was annoyed that to get the best sound you needed Sound Blaster. I only had an Adlib sound card back then which iirc cost as much as a pc engine console. Soundblaster was just too much money back in the day..

After months of waiting it turns up. OSSC

A friend gifted me a copy of Dead by Daylight on steam the other day; it's still installing. ugh.

Quote from: bartre on 06/08/2017, 08:19 PMSilent Hill 2 - Not shitty at all, and it's the best console version of the game to date

It's a great survival horror game, left you with a weird feeling days after! I wanted to buy the 3rd [for PS2] and get going on it some time. The 1st PS1 title hasn't aged well though, but I forced myself to beat it so I could play in order as the movies had motivated me to take these games off my backlog a few years ago. Well worth it!

P. S. #1 Wow, this thread has been decimated by Photobucket's sudden attempt at monetization/going-payware for image hosting services!! Dirt bag move... :/

NecroPhile · 09/21/2017, 09:36 AM

That PC box is neat, but it's too bad they don't go all out and give you the game on physical media too (DVD, BR, USB stick, whatever).

Psycho Punch · 09/21/2017, 02:06 PM

nw: Silent Hill 1 is the best one and nothing will convince me otherwise. >: (

It's pretty impressive that you can play UMDs on your vita.

Heh, dammit.... I meant VIII. I got bamboozled by dem roman numerals!

MisterCrash · 09/25/2017, 06:49 PM

After watching the Game Sack episode on retro accessories, and realizing that I already had a Genesis component video cable from HD Retrovision, I ordered an Engine Block from Stone Age Gamer to supercharge my SuperGrafx.

xcrement5x · 09/26/2017, 03:04 PM

I got an awesome package from Sarumaru recently! He had been to Japan and managed to see the Falcom Museum that was going on for a short while and picked up a Popful Mail pin for me along with some other goodies, plus I got a Henshin Engin pin too!

Yeah, I didn't either. I am a freak for Popful Mail stuff so when I saw they were selling pins at the Museum and Saru was going to be there anyway I begged him to pick my up the pin. The mags were a nice bonus to get as well

Ys Pachislot has me a bit concerned though..

That BSG LP is HAWT!

I did well at Vintage Stock today, they are having a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promo so I was out the door at under $20.

Got a PS3 Memory Card Adapter complete in box, plus the Steelbook version of Ni No Kuni for the PS3.
