I bunch of odds and ends free from a guy at work, never seen this code Veronica Wesker's Report so a good addition to my dreamcast stash

Very cool!

[JoshTurboTrollX]

Arguably the best box art of any TG16 game.

Veigues is better.

Order of the Griffon is best.

New Adventure island ftw!

Splatterhouse!

Here's a vote for Shockman's cover art.

Ok, Shockman beats Order of the Griffon.

Damn. 

[esteban]

Didn't buy this, per se, but when i took my boys to their grandparents' house today my father informed me that he'd found my old magazine collection.  Imagine my relief when i saw what he'd found!

Some sweet cf2 crayon art by 12 year old me, too!

Today is a good day!

Behold... Optimus Wine!!!!
Holds 12 red and 6 white at perfect temp. yard sale $10





Also at yard sale down the street from me..

[roflmao]

Optimus Wine is freaking awesome!

[Tatsujin]

lol optimus wine. hope the wine isn't just primus

[JapanTokei]

Sparky, that Optimus Wine is ridiculously.... awesome !

[Nec.Game.head]

I can second that. I freaking love drinking wine. Theses are a few of my toys I've purchased lately. A Vaterra Kemora RC 1/14th scale 4wd Rally car with a 1400 Lipo battery and a Fuse 6000KV motor. This little beast picks up to 55 Mph. Great fun! I brought home 2 vapor mods, a EDZ Avenger mod with a Igo-w atomizer and a Vape O-Clock Rook mod with a Kayfun 3.1 atomizer. I'm really enjoying these 2 mods. Great vapor production and flavor on both mods. And finally 4 MVS carts for my collection. The Last Blade, Neo Geo Drift Out, Magical Drop 3 and another copy of League Bowling now I have 3 Neo Geo setups totaling 6 lanes of bowling action at the same time. I just can't have enough League Bowling !!!

Damn.  

I know, right?  

BTW, I saw your 2013 goals and will soon be sharing with you some 300 PPI bitmaps from an Epson Perfection 4990.  Gotta finish rotating (damn .2°), aligning, and cropping them first, but I've nearly completed scanning the following:

TurboPlay: 1, 5-11, 13 (sadly, #11 is pretty worn and had some pages stuck together...)
TurboForce: 1-3
DuoWorld: 1-3

I wish I'd seen your scanning guidelines before starting... your tip about the black construction paper to combat bleed-through is excellent. I'll probably be re-scanning some pages with this technique before all is said and done.

HELL YES I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO UPGRADE THOSE OLD SCANS FOR YEARS!!!!

If you can, use the file-naming-scheme from my site (for individual pages)...with your hardwork, we can finally have scans that LOOK NICE in 2014.  Also, .pdf's of entire issues will be available...something I didn't want to do until better scans were obtained.

I just got these for $20 off Craigslist.  I need some games ànd an AC adapter.  I love these things I haven't had one in years.  I used to have a boxed one with 20 boxed games, time to start all over again.  It came with two copies of slime world just incase I want to play it more than once.

[jeffhlewis]

Ooh Power Stone 2. Always been too rich for my blood to pick up.

Slime World is pretty good   It feels a like a 1984 PC game. 

Congratz on the haul.

Thanks, I was and am a huge fan of the Lynx and was do impressed with it when it came out.  Ever since I saw Toby Maguire (Yes, Spider Man Himself) sitting on the toilet playing one I had to have one.

This will be my 4th go around, I keep building and then selling Lynx collections for some reason.

[jeffhlewis]

Some cheapo randoms at Milwaukee Media XChange for about $20 total. All complete in box:

-Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2)
-Final Fantasy XII (PS2)
-Lumines (PSP)
-Patapon (PSP)

One the coolest games for the Lynx is the Ninja Gaiden arcade port.  I'm not sure if it was ported to any other system at the time.

That was a long wait for courier.. Wanted to just go and pick up regular copy at midnight since this felt like it was taking aaaages to be delivered but its here. Am installing and now gonna take a shower.....

ditto that.  The Ninja Gaiden arcade game was total bad-ass.  hard as fock as well... which I guess served its purpose as quarter-guzzler well

So this weekend I went to the local anime convention, Nan Desu Kan (NDK 2013), for one day and had a good time.  The main reason I went is because Hidenori Matsubara was going to be there, he's a big name animation director and character designer that worked on the Ah My Goddess series and Evangelion as well.  So, I got in the autograph line and asked him to sign a couple things for me:

First my Ah My Goddess Box Set

Nan Desu Kan NDK 2013 - Hidenori Matsubara Autograph 1 by xcrement5x, on Flickr

Then he did a sketch of Asuka for me from Eva on the back of my liner notes book from the first volume of the Eva DVDs.

Nan Desu Kan NDK 2013 - Hidenori Matsubara Autograph 2 & Sketch by xcrement5x, on Flickr

Then I got back in line a second time hoping for a second sketch.  Little known fact is that he worked on the 8th episode of Bubblegum Crisis as well.  So I asked him to do a sketch of Priss for me on the back of my LaserDisc liner notes.  He was really intrigued by the fact I had brought a LaserDisc to be signed and wanted to look at it too.  I was sooooo close to getting a second sketch done, but I was told NO by the NDK Staff lady who was in charge since there was only about 10 minutes left.  She refused to let me have the time to get a second sketch (even though others had) because she wanted her own stuff signed.   He at least gave me an autograph and a quick sketch on the notes though.

Anyway, at the dealer room I grabbed some small stuff, free Funimation posters (Fujiko, yeaaa):


And a couple other things, a small Persona 4 figure, a program guide, and a stuffed Moogle for my daughter:

Nan Desu Kan NDK 2013 - Pickups 2 by xcrement5x, on Flickr


The last thing I grabbed, was completely outside the anime con, but I had managed to get everything organized in advance.  I talked with a guy on Craigslist and scored a Sony PVM-20M4U.  I met with him at a Starbucks near the con before leaving and loaded it up into my Corolla!  Then when I got home, I took some time to test it out in my garage.



I don't have anything that outputs RGB now, but I will be working on it soon.  In the meantime I used S-Video to test and make sure it worked.  What a waste to break it in with a SNES though!!

Yea, wow holy CRUX!!  Congrats on the find!    I'd recommend California Games, Kung Food and Dracula.

My old high school had a ton of those Sony's.  I wonder what ever happened to them?

That Sony PVM is identical to mine. My Saturn has never been happier since scoring it from Beamer this summer.

[munchiaz]

Man i need a PVM. Had a chance to get one at goodwill, but it didn't work

Anyway, its been a little slow for me these past few months. Heres my most recent gets

[Nando]

On the fence about killer is dead. Have you played it yet?

[munchiaz]

On the fence about killer is dead. Have you played it yet?

ive beaten it twice so far. I really enjoyed it. Much better than Lollipop chainsaw. Not as good as No more heroes. The character design is only there for 2-3 characters in Killer is dead,while almost all the characters in no more heroes are awesome. The gigolo missions are pretty fun for awhile, and it is typical Suda 51 style. More serious story than is other games, and he breaks the 4th wall quite a bit.

Speaking of the story, it could have been much more if it wasn't so convoluted. But the gameplay is fun, and boss fights are pretty awesome. I say if you are a fan of past Suda games then you will enjoy Killer is Dead

[Sparky]

Ta daaaaaaaaaaaa...... Thank you Jibbajaba, fits great

[Mathius]

Hudson Bee has boxing gloves! Cooly

[FiftyQuid]

Ta daaaaaaaaaaaa...... Thank you Jibbajaba, fits great

What the fuck don't you have in your collection Sparky?  Nice fit on the tee.  Have you been working out?

[Sparky]

I do 10- 15 mins of abs every morning but when that is not enough taking a dozen shots sucking in you gut you eventually get the money shot ......but it does fit good... to the trannys/ shemales out there like superdouchite control yourself!

[TheClash603]

The last time that shirt will not be covered in poutine gravy and ketchup chips...

looks good!

[JapanTokei]

lol, nice shirt indeed, but loving the comments being tossed around.  i miss these random jabbings!!

[JapanTokei]

damn that's a nice PVM!!  I still need to find a RGB monitor to play my Duo in RGB after all these years.

I know it's a stupid arse question -> but how do I connect a SCART-out modded PC Duo R to a PVM monitor like these?  Are there special connectors I can just buy off the shelve somewhere and plug in the SCART or vice versa??

Beamer/Deadlinte?  you both prob are the masters on this... pls share the wisdom

So, I believe those are called BNC connectors.  If I understand properly you can probably find a SCART cable with BNC leads and plug those in accordingly, then I just need to set the correct input and possibly fine tune  the monitor a bit for the colors.

I'm still a total noob on the PVM/RGB end of stuff as well, and still trying to figure out how I want to approach it all.  I could make custom cables for the output on specific consoles if I want, or I've heard other people using something like a scart switcher, then output from the switcher to the PVM with a single custom cable.   

Right now my big concern is finding a way to get it out of the garage and into the house and set up without my wife asking why I need another CRT in the house.

This should do ya nicely - I used to have one of these for my PVM-2030.

Havent been buying much at all lately, but I did pick one thing up.  I'm a super softy for special edition crap.  As much as I hated to give Failstop any of my money, I couldn't resist it.  Ordered it online and had it shipped so I didn't have to go in and talk to the goons that work there.

Wii U Deluxe limited zelda windwaker HD edition thingy.  It matches the Zelda 3DS so nicely...

Interesting fact... I weighed both the 3DS and the Wii U tablet thingy...  the 3DS was about 8 ounces, while the Wii U thingy was 17 ounces.  Basically twice as heavy.  I was really surprised at how light the tablet thingy was.
