Definitely. It's nice to see actual useful content like that instead of the typical Gamefaqs-esque shit that there's way too much of out there.

I dislike:
- "omg rage this sucks"
- Metal Jesus Tells You a Bunch of Shit You Already Know
- Here's a comparison between things where I used the wrong equipment, making it useless and uninformed
- That punchable-looking kid who always has his mouth open in the image for his videos, like he's gawking at something.
I like:
- videos like the one in question here
- Classic Game Room
- Retro Core
- Game Sack

yeah weird.
Seems like the comparison is true. Both with smoothing off captured at 720p with the El Gato cable so it'll be slightly blurry compared to straight HDMI but the difference is noticable still.

I think he's talking about AVGN.
Love Classic Game Room. Not necessarily the most informative show on YT, but you've gotta love Mark's attitude. He's just having fun.

No. AVGN is fine. I thought his shtick was entertaining for a while, so whatever. It's also kind of the original "I'm angry about shit!" show about games, so it gets a free pass. Unlike that fat dude that rants about shit.
I can't seem to find the punchable kid I was talking about. I searched for "punchable face piece of shit," but just got a bunch of videos of Ted Cruz. Point is, I think I actively dislike like 99% of people who put gaming stuff on Youtube. Unless it's *actually* funny, informative, or just fun, I don't see the point. But kids like sitting there, watching Pewdiepie, like a bunch of fucking invalids, so what do I know?

I've always seen AVGN as a show, but he does have interesting history interspersed with the act, especially in the later eps. Got me interested in obscure game history stuff, I guess.
also, some examples of the face (the first guy is actually parodying it according to clicking through to the vid, but I could only stand 10 seconds of his vid about the phenomenon ):
It's usually more shocked/surprised looking, but I know what you mean, it's weird. I just remind myself they're shooting for the kid audience.

dear diary
today i learned that someone else had my exact internet show preferences! maybe i'll find love yet~
ps i wonder if DJ chac also thinks tgwtg/nostalgiacritic type gawking stuff have highly punchable faces as well
This is the one thing I hate the most!

The second one! That second picture is the guy I was referring to. That said, I could see myself kind of hating all of them.
I don't understand why creating content about games necessitates being obnoxious. I kinda get why Mark was ready to hang things up with Classic Game Room before Patreon. Why bother if all you're doing is appealing to the lowest common denominator?

^ the game in middle is best! none of that rearranged music =)
Is this release the same as the original longbox? I believe it is
davidwhangchoi
Member
yeah they're the same great original version, i had both(long box and CD jewel) at different points. (there's the directors cut w/ rearranged music that destroys the mood when the dogs jump out the glass... no tension at all)

Amazing that I never played Resident Evil 1 before or 2 or 3. I probably should at some point.
I see now, and completely agree. Not sure why, but those doofy thumbnails just really bother me too. On the other hand, I dont really mind Metal Jesus' stuff. CGR, My Life in Gaming, 16 bit gems, Turbo Views, Strafefox's Splash Wave, Bullet Heaven, and Michael B The Game Genie are probably my most regular watched channels.

i've seen the pics posted of your giant collection so i'm sure you have a huge backlog to play but if do find time. highly recommend re1 and 2 given you have the optimal equipment to play the best representation of it =)
davidwhangchoi
Member
do you have the 5 dollar coupon for resident evil 2? heheh =)
making me jealous, nice grab!
ResidentDante
Member
Since I'm in PAL land, this is the only version we have here. It's nice to avoid the terrible rearranged music.
alf717

Yep it still has the coupon. No registration card though. I always send those in. Not clue if they even did anything with them. Funny thing is it is actually more expensive to get a jewel case version of Resident Evil then it is the Director's cut with demo. I priced a jewel case version and it was kind of up there in price.
That watercolory look? SaGa Frontier II in a way.
EDIT: I always thought reg. cards were how you'd eventually get demos in the mail or promo vhs/dvds.

it's kinda funny cause that's my face when I see that shit too
on topic: I hope my Time Gal/Ninja Hayate gets here today. Japanese imports are always pristine but the boat shipping is rough.

I'll get around to it eventually. I don't really look at what I have as a backlog, more like, a bunch of games that I'll play when I want to play them. I have 2 digitally from when Sony had it on sale for a dollar.
davidwhangchoi
Member
i have all the sony re's released digitally, love to double dip =), PSN re1 director's cut unfortunately is the version with the butchered music. hopefully you have access to hard copy of the original or director's cut/non dual shock when you get around to giving it a whirl =)

Did some PSP testing today with a 2001 and component cables. Sadly both test TV don't tell me if the screen is in 240P mode but everything looked real crisp. Test game was Harvest moon and a custom eboot of Mega Man X4.
Wow cool find. Good thing you didn't toss out that Mega Man X5.
Not sure of the time line but the Sega Saturn version still has the exclusive enemy found in the caves, the battle mode, gold tyrant and Wesker zombie.

Picked up another game this month. Down to 19 left for my collection goal for the system.
What I have (pics on my photobucket and posted not that long ago): PS1 Collection list
What I still want: Wishlist

Love that game. i contacted agetec and ordered directly through them bc no one was carrying it at the time
i never knew that. (skipped the saturn system in my youth) i want to check that out.
R-13 is the only ship i can beat the game with.
the anchor force was my only hope.
i lost my copy of x4, i might've thrown that one out bc i can't find it... been looking for 2 hours, that was my favorite of the X series =)
i saw your wishlist and recommend einhander if you are able to get it. i'm a sucker for shooters but that really stands out. (but i don't know the cost of games these days so it might be prohibitive) alundra is great too, (i didn't have the dragon art work you're looking for)
Anyone ever play this game before? I believe it's called "Acid." I picked it up off Play-Asia like two years ago but never got around to opening it. Can't find out much about it aside from a very low quality video. I also didn't realize before this that it says NTSC/J on the box. I figured I'd never play it because I don't have a JPN PS1.

Out of you ordering it from Play-Asia, it being covered in Japanese, and not conforming to the packaging style of America or PAL... what part of it surprises you that it says NTSC/J on the box?
IrishNinja

damn, always wanted to play that one (and drop better acid) - is it found on the cheap?
Oh I'll definitely pick up everything on my wish list. Just a matter of how quickly. Einhander is probably the game I don't have that I want the most. The 81 games for PS1 I have now I've been collecting over the last few years. It's easily my favorite system ever.

Whoops I thought it meant it could be played on an NTSC or Japanese system. I'm kind of new when it comes to Imports lol.

Never seen this one before. Cool.
I still need a copy of LSD in my life, but haven't seen it for less than $250. Probably never will, can't justify that amount on one game atm though.

Cool, my PSOne finally got here. I do have to mod it at some point, but it's nice to just have the thing. And it's been too long... the PS2 slim just wasn't cutting it for PS1 games, with it's numerous glitches. It's actually got a lot more issues than the original Playstation 2 model.
Hmm, I never encounter issues with PS1 games on my PS2 slim...weird.
