I'll say yes, because I bought this plate:

And saw this:

The retro videogame selection was a let down. Some nice atari 2600 catridges there but I only have an ST

Megadrive selection was just games I already have, n64 stuff wasn't too much but enough, was nice to just hear some young kids get super excited (like 12 or so) then start rattling off to their mum about the NES and what it is etc.

 

[MoonGred]

That plate is pretty amazing.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Yeah that Mill Market never had much in the way of games back when I lived in Geelong. Used to be another Mill Market there too which was pretty awesome for records but it got sold off sadly.

 

[reptilescorpio]

Oh yeah Target have those Super Mario amiibos for $10 Holy, should save you some cash!

Also I'll just leave these here, Target sale, starts on Friday.

$39 WiiU Fit bundle is pretty great. PS4 bundle having GoW3 remaster is handy too, will have good resale value out of the blocks.

cool. Sounds like how everyone on OT is now an expert on every comic that has ever been printed.

Geelong is a land filled with ugly people.

That is my take away from my day trip to geelong.

Rocket League online multiplayer GOTY 2015

But it's REALLY cold today

I know hey! so windy
Went for a run earlier and was getting blown around

Hahaha, that's definitely how it was today. I went to Morpeth for a staff lunch and the wind was insane, nothing like being blown about by the wind while tipsy!

219 for a 12gb ps3 is pretty damn expensive still.

 

[CryptiK]

Anyone going to Gamescom?

 

[ClivePwned]

I am genuinely sad about Iwata's passing. I never met the man, but I feel he was a lot more human and genuine than most of the heads of large games companies.

 

[hamchan]

The man held bananas and became a muppet for our entertainment. Great man.

 

[Ventron]

Agreed. He always felt like a friend and someone who wanted you to laugh with him. He was a really smart and talented programmer too.

 

[Yagharek]

Ugh how horrible to have it happen so young regardless of his role.

What a sad day. I loved his Directs and attitude to the hobby in general. Really came across as a big kid.

 

[Deeku]

Shocked and genuinely sad.

 

[legend166]

Wait, Iwata died?

That's awful.

 

[Shaneus]

What the fuck?

I was never a big fan of Nintendo, but respected the guy for having such an open role in the company and of course for the sales behemoth of the original Wii. Damn.

Edit: 56. Holy shit.

 

[codswallop]

Iwata was a legend, whether you care for Nintendo or not. He was also a legit coder and gamer first and foremost, which from a customer's point of view is pretty much exactly what you want.

A big hole for not only Nintendo, but the industry today.

 

[HolyCheck]

Iwata

Aniseed/meadow/arnie you guys need to go visit nintendo hq and lay out some flowers on behalf of ausgaf.

Earthbound and Gold/Silver just would not have been the same without him

EDIT: I just learnt that back in the early days of the NES HAL almost went under but because they had Iwata making games for them Nintendo invested in them and kept them afloat

 

[Jintor]

maybe i'll go up to kyoto again this weekend...

rip man, rip

He was also pretty much the most pro-customer exec the industry has ever seen. This is not to be a slight against others, but just a comment about how earnest he came across as.

Directs were often about silly little features of apparent inconsequence but often were about things that added to a game's character.

I love what he did with the company in its Wii/DS focus era. Really made me happy to play those games that were borne out of those experiments. A willingness to try new things with hardware is something he pursued to the benefit of the medium. And games made with this ethos made me so damn happy to play them.

I hope Nintendo retains his focus and enthusiasm. It was a big part of what made them so interesting.

 

[Worthintendo]

Worst news to start the week on

I never knew the man, I never met him, but his influence on the world effected me deeply, thank you Iwata, I thank him for the memories & smiles he brought me and to millions of gamers around the world. The gaming world is slightly darker and colder without him and I will miss his infectious positivity from the Directs. He was a bright spot of fun and silliness in an industry that usually takes itself way too seriously. I was never disappointed in him and he never needed to apologize to me for anything.

Also days like today remind me why I hate and love the internet, seeing some people through hate at him is just saddening. But the amazing outpouring of love and wishes has been awesome.

 

[ClivePwned]

there's just something about art depicting Nintendo characters sad that feels like a punch in the guts.
I might as well write off the rest of the day and just go peel the contents of that 30kg sack of onions in the kitchen.

 

[industrian]

Just got a call from "Careers Australia" or something regarding an "exciting opportunity that would intere- oh wait you're on a working holiday" *click*.

Now I play the "where did I upload my CV" game to find out where they got my number.

Yep, a week or 2 before moving is the best time to evaluate what you really need to keep.

Started playing Far Cry 4 on PC again last night and I'm really enjoying it, but its so frustrating when it crashes so often. Played for 3 hours last night and it crashed about 4 times.

Yeah, um, anyone want any gaming shit? I'm going to sell my entire PS3 collection (since my PS3 croaked a few weeks back), my entire PSP collection, my Saturn collection... oh and I may as well get rid of this Wonderswan, Neo Geo Pocket Colour, Gamegear, Mega CD etc etc. Yeah... I have way too much shit.

I'm a pinball guy, but if there's one (or two) cab(s) I'm ever getting, it's one of those red Neo-Geo cabs. And probably a cocktail of some kind.

Dang that sucks, was flawless for me on PS4. Loved F4 a lot. Great sequel.

Haha Big Red!
I had a a Neo Geo Candy Cab. Had a 4 slot MVS in it and a bunch of Arcade PCBS, well ones that only need 2-3 buttons. Mostly shumps.

Always wanted a pin, but they take up a bit too much room. I was thinking of converting our garage into some sort of ManCave with like a PIN, Arcade Cab and Kegerator. However, I know it wouldn't get much use 3+ months out of the year because it would be too cold. Then I doubt I would even play it that much during the year. IDK, still up in the air... Might start with the kegerator though, seems like the most important part

Between this and the Arkham Knight debacle on PC, I'm thinking of sticking closer to console purchases for day one games I'm really keen for.

You sure you don't want, say, my copy of Guardian Heroes?

What are you in the market for?

Yeah, I'd probably be going mostly shmups as well, plus Puzzle Bobble and the Metal Slug titles. Not much for fighters. And maybe have it somehow switchable with a CPS2 because I find the games across both are very similar. Need that Alien vs. Predator.

If you ever have questions, feel free to ask via PM or in this thread (or in the Pinball Arcade thread, it's basically an unofficial IRL pinball thread anyway). I have two in a single bedroom unit, so don't discount having a machine inside! If you're having problems justifying it to the missus, just tell her they very rarely, if ever, lose value and right now will probably make money in the long run if you buy right.

Hell, the only thing stopping me buying more is my living arrangement. Once my girlfriend and I sort out a house, I'll be borrowing from my friends' 40+ collection

You sure you don't want, say, my copy of Guardian Heroes?

Probably! I think I even actually still have a Saturn kicking around somewhere, but I have a feeling that's a pricey game, yes?

Hehe yeah that's why I mentioned it. It's one of the more valuable Saturn games.
