The original Street Fighter is easily the worst. Its controls don't even work properly. Pulling off a special move is pure luck. Heh.
I love to put together a care package of sort for when I take my 4 week summer vacation every year.
So this time I got the following:
Payed a bit much for Escha, but it's getting hard to find it seems.
Not sure if this is a problem, but I really like this page in the booklet that came with The Witch and the Thousand Knight. lol
Also got a spare, brand new PSTwo and a bunch of games I wanted for the system. Bit expensive though. Some are brand new, others were mint condition so it was worth it.
And finally some random stuff that I picked up.
RallySport 2 was due to the Gamersyde retro feature.
Wolfenstein due to the GAF thread. Vita games since they won't get a wester physical release.
3DS game since I love musou games and this one was getting damn expensive. Not to mention almost impossible to find new.
Salamander Portable doesn't need a reason. ;P

Wow, got real lucky today. Replied to a month old post on Craigslist for this sony pvm.
From reading the PVM/Upscaling thread on GAF I knew it was not the best monitor, but a good place to start. Turns out that one was sold but he had a PVM14M2U for $50!!! Made the hour drive and picked it up.
It was a little neglected, but some cleaning will do the job.
Then I fired it up...HOLY SHIT does the image look good. Just on S-video! My iPhone camera does not do it justice.
Hooked up my s-video modded Genesis and some nice stereo speakers

That package should keep you busy for a while.
I spent around 90 hours on the first Symphonia (on GC) alone, and was at around 85% completion, I think.

Picked up this 83 datsun maxima today. My friend is moving and has to sell some cars because he has 11. So I got this for a steal at $500. Best $500 I've spent in a while. Made the 100 mile drive home with the a/c blasting without issue. Wheels didn't come with the car btw, they're from one of my other cars, and I needed something to drive home on.

I... I think I might need to pick this game up.
Also you've just reminded me to place an order for the physical Japanese copy of Warriors Orochi, thanks!
That package should keep you busy for a while.
Oh I'm sure I'll have my hands full!
The best part is that my Nin-nin-game order is still underway as well.
The Witch game was ordered from Amazon.co.uk btw.
Not sure if other retailers will include the booklet as it wasn't inside the game packaging.
Don't forget about Sengoku Musou 4 and Shin Gundam Musou either as we won't be getting physical versions of those too.

Finally got these hung up!
Mulan Steelbook
Where are you guys getting these Disney steelbooks from? Would it be easier to get from where I live right now (Hong Kong) or import to my US residence (Ohio)?

Just got this bundle in from Overclockers.co.uk.
Intel Core i5-4670K 3.40GHz with 8GB Kingston HyperX RAM preinstalled. BD player is going back to be swapped for external model, forgot I had it from a previous order and this case has no optical drive slots.
Haven't built a PC since back in about 2001 since moving to laptops, this gonna be fun.

They were hand-framed at a local place.
That CPU cooler box art is amazing, I've got this stuck in my head now, thanks for that.
Which GPU are you going for? Should turn into a very nice system.

Thanks, got this GTX 750Ti on the way.
I don't game on my PC so I don't need a particularly powerful system so most of my choices were based on noise levels and looks. Might give Dolphin a try though......
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
retron 5 came in glad i didnt cancel my preorder when they went on backlog

A NEW
*cry*cry* for some reason my old stopped working/broke down (all LAN ports incl the WAN port died), so had to pick up a new one, old one was not even a year old (sending old in next week).
That's what I'm using right now. Amazing router.

Was exactly the same model (Asus RT-N66U) that broke down though. =/

Is the difference between these and the English releases just the dub and subtitles? I got many of the English bds and was wondering what the differences were?
Decided to get a new android tablet as a secondary mobile device (bought a surface pro 3 for main and gave ipad to a relative).
Bought the Samsung Galaxy Tab S due to strong reviews to try it. Got two in a row with shit build quality (dirt under the panel), returned them (also touchwiz is as crappy as ever). That will teach me to buy Samsung. Never again.
Ended up with this:
Couldn't be happier.

I'm in the market for a 10 inch tablet and was determining if I want to get the tab s or the z2. How is the screen on the z2? I know that technically it isn't as good as the tab s, but is it still good? Also how is Sony's interface software? I don't like touchwiz, but I don't know if Sony's stuff is any better. I wish that that Google would update the Nexus 10, but I don't think that will happen since 10 inch Android tablets haven't really taken off.

Why does he wear the mask!?
Never played any of the God of War games, and I've been meaning to give it a go if the right deal came along, so I bought the Ultimate God of War triple pack which includes all the God of War games (including Ascension) for around 45$.
Where could I get this in the UK? Can't find it anywhere
The screen on the Z2 is lower res than the Tab S, but makes up for it with far more accurate color. It even has white balance adjustment. At the end of the day it's still very sharp. Sonys skin is also far less intrusive than touch wiz. Very clean and cohesive. It's far closer to stock than Samsung.
Tab S was also laggy as shit, Z2 so far is buttery smooth.

Just got these 2 babies, brand new. Traded Tearaway for Persona and bought The Wonderful 101 for around $35 (considering I'm in México, this is pretty cheap).
I finally managed to grab another copy of Brave Fencer Musashi...

Congrats, they're awesome movies. Rebellion is amazing as well. It might be a while, though.

Hello All!
I was on holiday abroad last month and i was a little bored sitting around waiting andsomething entered my mind... Amazon
this was the result!
Almost mint except the dreamcast is starting to yellow on the top cover.
does anyone know how to fix this?
if not think im on the lookout for a dreamcast console that is or is not working aslong as it has a non yellow top which i could either swap out or put in the box
- Must stop buying things

Beautiful... There's something about the Dreamcast that just screams "love videogames" to me
This reminds me I need to get a new controller btw...

Got my Awesomenauts Starstorm shirt from the kickstarter finally, I love it. Also picked up One Piece Unlimited World Red. I hate that day one stuff on the cover, why couldn't they just put it as a sticker on the shrinkwrap?
