My itinerary is complete. A Dreamcast celebration in four parts.
Countdown Celebration (begins at 11:30 ET)
- Sampling of Ready 2 Rumble demo and consumption of a large sandwich
Morning Session (to begin at Midnight ET):
- Screening of Shenmue video on Nov. 2000 ODCM demo disc
- One game of NFL 2K. Washington Redskins (my team) vs. Minnesota Vikings
- Sampling of Soul Calibur
- One game of NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC. Utah Jazz vs. Los Angeles Lakers
- Sampling of Speed Devils
- Sampling of Sonic Adventure
- Sampling of Re-Volt
- Sampling of Tee-Off Golf
- Sampling of Crazy Taxi
- Sampling of ChuChu Rocket
- Sampling of Virtua Tennis
- Playthrough of Space Channel 5
- Playthrough of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
Afternoon Session:
- One game of World Series Baseball 2K1. New York Yankees (my team) v. Boston Red Sox
- Sampling of Sega GT
- Playthrough of Jet Grind Radio
- One game of NBA 2K1. Utah Jazz (my team) vs. Philadelphia 76ers
- Playthrough of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
- Attempt will be made to play Seaman GD-ROM in an audio CD player
- Sampling of 4x4 Evolution demo from Feb. 2001 ODCM demo disc
- Sampling of Metropolis Street Racer demo from Feb. 2001 ODCM demo disc
- Screening of Jurassic 5 Music Video from Feb. 2001 ODCM demo disc
- Screening of Phantasy Star Online opening video
- Sampling of Typing of the Dead
- Sampling of Daytona USA
- One game of NFL 2K2. Washington Redskins (my team) vs. Minnesota Vikings
- One game of NHL 2K2. Edmonton Oilers (my team) vs. Colorado Avalanche
Evening Session: Post Mortem
- Sampling of Propeller Arena
- Sampling of Half Life
- Viewing of Shenmue: The Movie
Notes: The celebration begins with the Ready 2 Rumble demo because it's the first Dreamcast game I played (prior to the system's release) and after playing it I KNEW I would be owning a Dreamcast. For the most part, games are being played in order of release. Mostly at the beginning I'm playing in order of when I first played the games. Some games are being included because I do NOT remember them fondly, but want to relive memories. They include: Tee-Off Golf, World Series Baseball 2K1, and Sega GT. NHL 2K2 was the last retail release for the US Dreamcast. Fittingly enough, my first Dreamcast's disc spinning mechanism ceased to operate after leaving the system on overnight with my copy of NHL 2K2 inside. Games with white spines being replaced by games with black spines made for a proper stopping point to take a break if I need one.
Have fun playing Dreamcast today, everyone!

Sega,
You and I have been through some trying times. I have been a sega fan since my parents bought my master system back in 88. I was there; albeit, a little late for the genesis, but I was there. I saved all of my money, bought all of your games, and yet you shitted on me. I sucked it up and I convinced my parents to buy your add-ons. You shitted on me twice.
So when I was finally old enough to make my own money I bought your next official console, yet... you shit on me.... thrice times. I suck it up and chalk it up to bad luck, so I decided and bought your last and final console. That time Sega, you didn't shit on me. For that Sega I thank you, with all my heart.

I will post this in all forums that I'm in. To pay my respects to the Dreamcast.

Blizzard said:I'll probably go see that 9 movie that comes out on 9/9/9. Even though it probably won't be near as good as Coraline.I thought the trailer was interesting at least.
The Coraline BD is awesome with extra sauce. 9 doesn't look like it has a ninth of the character of that, or corpse bride for that matter.
Also, Dreamcast was good. I also didn't feel shat on by Sega CD for all of it's gimmicking glory.

fuck guys im sitting here drinking beer, listening to the new muse, reading this thread...
what I would do to go back to 99 and play the dreamcast for the first time... the first time I played NFL 2k I leterally had to a double take during the between play cutscenes and remind myself this was really a game!
god fucken damn the nostalgia hurts...

The clock stuck 12 and all of the sudden I hear an obnoxiously loud noise in my closet. I think the Dreamcast just became self aware.
edit: my 360 just wet itself. What a powerful roar, as if to mark the land.
edit 2: my Dual Shock 3 started leaking battery fluid. I believe it's a form of sacrifice for all the fallen VMUs.
edit 3: my Wii is gone, only a note left behind. "I wish I could play Samba de Amigo proper."
These are signs of something.

SEGA just flat out needs some new blood all the way around from top to bottom.
