Re: Mirrors that reflect your heart
I would imagine this is the type of thing that's existed in human mythology and storytelling since early civilization. I read a lot of myths, fables, and Joseph Campbell as part of my undergraduate degree, and I know I've encountered that story beat before. I'm just struggling to remember concrete e...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
I was at Retro World Expo this past weekend, and it was a really interesting experience. It was my first time being a vendor at a con, which fundamentally changes the feel in a lot of ways. I found it kind of fascinating to approach a convention as a business venture as opposed to a hunt for loot. ...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
That was the TR thread! https://racketboy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=54125 Do I remember reading someone saying that, because it's an emulator running on the DC, the gameplay wasn't the smoothest? Or am I imagining that? That's the one! Thanks! Yeah, I've seen some footage, and it doesn't run great....

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
Random question: A while back, someone, I think it might have been Raging Justice, mentioned about The Simpsons arcade game getting unofficially ported to Dreamcast, and said individual linked to a store (maybe an Etsy store) where a guy was selling very nice looking, very inexpensive repros and phy...

Re: Games Beaten 2024
There's definitely a bit of tonal dissonance when you have the more taciturn Craig Bond making flirty quips with women named, I don't know, Horny McLegs or something (played by actresses old enough to be Daniel Craig's mother) like they all were in the much sillier older Bond films, shortly before ...

Re: Games Beaten 2024
007 Legends (Xbox 360) I wrapped this one up a few days ago, and while I can't say I necessarily recommend it, it was definitely interesting in ways that are fun to discuss. Basically, it's intended as kind of a "best of" (and I use the term "best" very loosely) James Bond story...

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts
Totally agree! If you look hard enough, you can find one for a decent price: roughly $100 for the unit itself. The crazy thing is that opa and I got our value pack one that came with a PS3 controller, 8GB memory card, and a game for $80. I know that pricing of niche crap like that goes up. Very nat...

Re: I just bought an oXbox for the first time (sorta)
I might be a little bit addicted to buying Xbox games now :? I can't stop adding more to my collection now :lol: I now have KOTOR 1 and 2, Project Gotham Racing 2, Midtown Madness 3 and The Chronicles of Riddick ordered and on their way. Considering how few people seem to talk about the Original Xb...
