Re: Why is everyone selling everything right now?

A long hard lesson. I've found over the years joy from owning games I clearly no longer or will never play is fleeting at best. They waste priceless space lined up, stacked, and boxed away. This. I've filled up numerous shelves and it hurts to box things up and never touch them. Games are meant to ...

Goldstar 3DO laser replacement: Helpful Hints

I recently replaced the laser on my Goldstar 3DO and I thought I'd share some of the details here since I wasn't able to find much myself. This isn't really a tutorial, more just helpful hints. Always proceed with caution and BE GENTLE when working with console innards! You'll need a replacement SF-...

Re: Great possibility of a shenmue 3?

Ryo Hazuki's tendency to ignore beautiful women has become something of a joke in the gaming community, but gamers aren't seeing how much deeper the roots of the problem go. He leaves his friends because of his quest. He doesn't finish school because of his quest. He can't hold a job because of his...

Storage Scores (Games you forgot you had)

Having four kids and various relative coming to live with us throughout the years, my family has a basement and storage unit full of revolving bins and boxes. Growing up often games or items from my game collection ended up in these bins, seemingly lost to time. I have since grown up and moved out. ...

Re: Interesting Dreamcast Tid-Bits And Stories

I pre-ordered my Dreamcast at Toys R' Us way in advance (maybe April or May?) I saved up all summer doing chores and mowing my gramma's lawn for the Dreamcast, an extra controller, a VMU, and three games (gosh that was a hefty chunk of change! On 9/9/99 my mom took me out of school at lunch time and...

My fiance and I will be there! We were at CGE 2k10 as well. Until then the last time I had gone was the very first year when it was World of Atari '98. We went to the Pinball Hall of Fame for my friend's bachelor party a year and a half ago, it's awesome and highly recommended. I'm looking forward t...

Re: robbievgb's Living Room of Geekness

Nice. I'm jealous. Oh, and how do all of you guys find girls that let you do this stuff? I can't get a girl normally, let alone if I wanted to do this in the living room. Get a girl nerd. This is my first time seeing your post! From one blu-ray collector to another - nice! When I was a young-un my ...

Re: robbievgb's Living Room of Geekness

That's a lot of Dreamcast controllers. Is it just me, or do dreamcast games often come without cases? Why would someone throw out a game case/manual? It's free storage! The DC and PS2 were out when DVD binders started becoming popular, so people started tossing packages and putting their discs in t...
