Lol no I carried it in. I really need to get a better dolly though, one that can go flat. That would have been much easier.

But yeah this effer is about 200 pounds so anyone looking should prepare for a hernia. 

[Gypsy]

Had some nice ones arrive today. Winds of Thunder, Smash 64, Shantae (vita) and a nice PS2 and some tv show series on dvd. Nice blast of packages before Christmas.

Perfect game for christmas  .
I wish everybody on here happy christmas holidays.

[Flare65]

Some Christmas Gifts...









Runbow is like relay race style Super Smash Brothers on crack.  Up to nine players at once.  Super fast paced and crazy...  Great party game and well worth picking up.

Never played the Steamworld games before, but am enjoying both of them.  Definitely plan on finishing both of them soon.

Oddworld Stranger's Wraith is a pleasant surprise and a lot of fun.  Never heard of it until Limited Run Games decided to put it out.  I think its a higher quality game than most of the titles they publish.  Dialogue is hilarious the way the characters talk.

The Art of Atari is amazing.  Highly worth checking out, even if you just flip through it at the bookstore.

[Medic_wheat]

Flare. Oddworld strangers wrath was originally a Xbox exclusive (minus PC).


I played it on the original Xbox and enjoyed it. Have yet to try out the HD port on the vita.

[NecroPhile]

Besides the Secret Santa goodies (Dragon Egg, Moon Patrol, and Fallout New Vegas), I got Lego Avengers and Lego Star Wars - The Force Awakens for x-mas.  I also bought myself Oddworld: Stranger's Wrath, Patlabor, Himitsu No Hanazono (how many other PCE games also came in a clear case with double sided liner?), and a lot of 26 games:

Dekoboko Densetsu*

Jantei Monogatari

Got a PS4 Pro and a PSVR for Christmas, along with Assault Suit Leynos and Call of Duty IW.

Let me know how you enjoy IW. I hear there are a couple great single player campaign levels ;)

It was pretty fun overall, enough for me to finish it. There is a robot named Ethan that is really funny. Overall, I had more fun with Titanfall 2. Both games have double jumping and wall running, but Titanfall really incorpated it into the levels.

[Gypsy]

Had some random bits arrive today. An RGB interface and some breakout cables. Get to fool around with that stuff tonight, will be fun.

Edit: Fun nugget: the interface unit was shipped in a cardboard envelope with no padding. Seems like a poor decision.

Awesome glad to hear you enjoyed it, do you remember which levels you liked the most? I haven't played the whole thing, curious to hear peoples openions. I am glad some people are playing it, it sounded like this was the year cod hit the wall / jumped the shark from reviews and sales, but hearing people enjoyed it is awesome.

I got Titanfall 2 and will be checking it out after my family holiday trip, excited to see what they did differently - I agree that the traversal abilities were not used in the level.design as well as they could have been in IW

[technozombie]

I haven't played a CoD game since World at War so I can't really compare IW to the others. The levels i enjoyed most were the ones that tried to be different. The ones where you're in space and you use a grapple hook to pull yourself around or were there is a big mech in your group and you are support. I found the flight missions to be somewhat boring and uninspired. The story was mediocre stuff you would find in an overweight popcorn movie. The terrorist group you are fighting operates on a thin premise and you're just kind of thinking, what are we fighting for again? On a smaller scale the interactions between characters was enjoyable and like in Rogue One the robot was the stand out character.

which one of those games had the underwater levels?  i never played them, but that always looked cool.
i know one of the boxes also showed zombie levels, but those looked mediocre.

I.W. has some zombie side game, but I haven't tried it. It has some kind of 80s theme like it is their version of Blood Dragon, but I'm not sure if it has any story or is just a versus mode.

[Bloufo]

From AliExpress. Ordered back in early October. Only received it now.

I had to trim the edges of the PCB's for it to fit in my boot MV-1C board. It works fine now, though.

Shadow od Destiny is a really interesting game that no one ever talks about.

[bartre]

Shadow od Destiny is a really interesting game that no one ever talks about.

But you're talking about it right now.  I always forget about the psp version

I wish I could find a copy of disaster report and raw danger.  What did those run?

[Bloufo]

Shadow of Destiny is a really interesting game that no one ever talks about.

I've actually owned it (Shadow of Memories (PAL) ) before back in the day and had played a bit of it. A little later I somehow lost my copy of it (I still have a game save of it on one of my old memory cards), and as time went on I kinda forgot about it until I saw it again from a guy selling some PS2 stuff on one of our gaming related sites.
Looking forward to playing it again.

I wish I could find a copy of disaster report and raw danger.  What did those run?

200 ZAR for both. So that would be a little under $15.
Both local buys. The same guy that I bought Shadow of Destiny from. 
I'm still looking for the third game in the series released for the PSP.

[TR0N]

[bartre]

wait, what?

[TR0N]

If you're a kunio-kun fan it''s worth it and the price was little over $30.00.

MAJOR HOLY GRAIL find today at my local Church's rummage sale.













   I could not believe my luck!  100% completely working.  I hooked it up to my old TV via S-Video and the system being from 2005 still asked for 4:3 or 16:9.  Ima component mod this bitch.  Cam with 4 controllers looking for 2 more so we can have some 6 on 6 trivia.

[Bloufo]

^^
'Holy Grail' as in these are rare or sought after?

[Gredler]

Wtf is that

[ToyMachine78]

You should donate that to AVGN. He is a purveyor of shit wares like that.

[EvilEvoIX]

^^

Ten times rarer than Stadium Events.

[Bloufo]

Not right now. He's going to component mod it first. Can't do justice to those trivia games in regular old s-video.

[jtucci31]

There are about 4 of them on ebay right now for like $20. Is that the joke? Never heard of this thing

I think the guy got a sudden case of the jollies about finding one. Why? Who knows.

[NecroPhile]

One man's garbage is another man's rare..... garbage.

[synbiosfan]

Well, it seems to have brought you a lot of joy.

It looks lame to me.

[bob]

should have left it at the church. 

you and the shit you buy are truly in a class of its own.

[xcrement5x]

Lol, I so those too.  Boxed unit with 5 games or something for $20.

Metroid prime federation force on 3ds. It really wasn't what I'd hoped it to be. I know it didn't get rave reviews but I already got bored at the training mission. I'll give it another chance later.

Atari Flashback portable. Nephew played it for like 20 mins then back to the tablet. Oh well more fun for me.

That's how it is, I guess. I showed my kid that mini-NES (actually bought it as an Xmas pressie for him).
If I told you he used it for about an hour total since the 25th of last month, I'd be lying. And that hour was mostly because I sat down and played it with him. Otherwise, just not interested.
