The wait for Street Fighter IV is killing me so I went out and bought a new phone to ease the pain:lol

It has Wi-Fi, a 8.1 megapixel camera...all the fun stuff...

 

[eXistor]

The pokémon games came in secondhand at the shop, so I took 'em home myself dirt cheap.

 

[Kobiekun]

good luck with that phone btw.
use the shit out of it for the first month as it will likely break and se have a decent 30 day early life failure warranty.
Very good phone just early models were built like crap.

Here is my pick up for the month.

Case, Motherboard, cpu, ram, psu and vga card.
The rest was recycled from my dead PC. RIP.

My first ever build, didn't have a clue what I was doing but it works.

Custom Timbuk2 Messenger Bag (Medium)
>>Medium. Ballistic Nylon citron / Ballistic Nylon grey / Ballistic Nylon grey. Liner: grey. Logo: grey. Reflector tails. Super-Grip Strap Pad Tough-Tek.<<
Since I don't have a laptop any more (although I do plan on getting another one later in the year), I don't really need to use my Targus laptop bag any more. Instead, I settled on a messenger bag to take to work, the park, wherever.

Timbuk2 Messenger Bag (Medium)
>>Medium. x-Pac black / Covert old gold / x-Pac black. Liner: grey. Logo: black. Reflector tabs. Standard Strap Pad.<<
After placing an order for a custom bag, Timbuk2 had a sale on this. No idea why I bought it but since it was on sale, why not? I'll probably use this one as a back-up to the one above.

Epson 78 black ink
I ran out of black ink while printing some stuff.

Got this for the girlfriend for Valentine's Day. Ninetindo... :lol

Awesome Weekend

Any impressions on the comfort-to-use factor of those overkill guns? Was thinking of getting one or two of those myself as i don't have any gun shells yet (had a wii zapper and hated it). Does it make it feel more like a proper arcade style gun?

 

[Yes Boss!]

Gamecrazy came through with a Tournament Edition preorder. Still waiting on my others from Amazon.

Got a pad as well...pretty nice (but a little light).

 

[Struct09]

Guess they decided to release more than just the Turtles

--Fantastic Planet (La Planete Sauvage) original Japanese theater poster, probably from the late 70s, early 80s. Yes, pretty freaking obscure and when I saw it on ebay, I had to have it. I love the movie.

--Mass Effect - $7.98 at Toys R Us. Not a big fan of the game, but at this price, why not?

--Castlevania Double Pack
--Metroid Zero Mission
--Retro Game Challenge
--Resident Evil DS

Not pictured:
--SFIV Madcatz pad (love it)
--Sonic's Genesis Collection (Pretty good)

---***the crown jewel of my pick ups for this month is that unassuming little book to the left of the poster:***

Family Computer 1983-1994!
This is a book put out by the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Photography that contains pics of every Famicom game released (I bet they missed a few.) Accompanying the notable ones are dual language descriptions in Japanese and Engrish. The more notable games have large descriptions, then there are pages with mini descriptions. The random games just have pics and titles. There are also interviews with Miyamoto and other guys involved in the Famicom. There are even some Sega interviews (like "tell us how much you hated Nintendo back then.")

Here are some pics:

Right: Takeshi's Challenge - "A Game That Sucked That Bad, That Craved Its Name In The History of the Family Computer" [sic]

Left:Nakayama Miho No Tokimeki High School - apparently a dating sim about calling a teen celebrity. "It was a game that the idol Miho Nakayama would give you her telephone number. We could say that the plot in itself was already a victory for this game." [sic] :lol

Some smaller descriptions

An interview with the guy who came up with the Famicom programming language, I think.


This book is full of awesomeness. I love reading these and looking through it. And the Engrish is a bonus that I didn't even consider. Sometimes it comes off as very poetic and it always seems to sum the game up perfectly, like with "Spelunker":
"You would die instantly by falling from the height of your own height. You would also die instantly by falling from little steps. You would instantly die by bat shit. So, is such a game feasible? The main character is truly weak, making you wonder this, and this game was labeled as a sucking game, from the love for this character."


"Sucking game," aka games that suck, are a genre of famicom games in japan, or so I heard on retronauts. I had a sneaking suspicion while growing up that this game was fundamentally broken and apparently its legendary in Japan for sucking so hard. This entry really captures the essence of the game...you die from falling off of anything from almost any height (and this is a platformer) and you die from getting shit on by bats.

another big thanks to Cheesemeister for finding this book and shipping it from Japan.

Damn, Hori's American boxart is so much shittier than their Japanese boxes.

 

[JEKKI]

pickups from work!!

pickups from the SFIV launch party!!

regular pickups!!

 

[KennyLinder]

I bought a Wii today! My girlfriend has wanted one for a while and I said I wouldn't buy one until there was 5 games on the system that I really really wanted. Don't know why I was like that, never have been about any other console, and have typically bought everything at launch. I think its kinda because Wii isn't a typical games machine, if you know what I mean.

Anyways, I bought a Wii, Wii Play (that comes with a controller), House of the Dead:Overkill and 2x HOTD gun cases. Super awesome! I've ordered Mario Galaxy, Prime 3 and No More Heroes online.

 

[SlaughterX]

Bought some clothes today ons ale @ Macy's...
