What are you guys' thoughts about Dark Souls? Will the release be big enough that it won't be a super sought-after title?

Pelican GBA Charger

http://i.imgur.com/yuXveRL.jpg?1 I loved this thing. I recently consolidated my GB collection and dug this thing out. I think I got it in 2002 or so. Well, suffice it to say, the batteries are kaput. I'd really like to make use of it, but what can I do without batteries? What do you all think? Keep...

Re: Your retro-gaming goals and resolutions for 2014

Pare down games I don't like/play, and acquire games I do want to play. Is that a resolution?

Just finished showing Cowboy Bebop to my girlfriend. She liked it. Great show! And the soundtrack is killer.

Re: Nintendo Is Hurting :(

I'll put it right out there first, Nintendo is not in trouble. Journalists are merely responding to the fact that this is the 3rd year in a row Nintendo has operated on a loss, among other things--not some sort of vendetta. No one's claiming they're sinking, just that they've drifted into deeper wa...

Re: GBA Backlight Mod Help!

Update:

I figured it out. While I had shaven a significant amount off of the front plate of the GBA shell, I needed to shave more. It was completely flat, but I needed to shave down all the corners, not just the ones with the raised tabs.

Now it fits well.

GBA Backlight Mod Help!

I purchased an aftermarket screen and ribbon adapter (from the venerable Zerey) to mod my original GBA for a backlit screen. I soldered the provided wire to the PU and the screen works perfectly! Here's the problem: the ribbon adapter is too thick for reassembly. It's about 1 mm thick, and this extr...

Re: Backlight Mod Original GBA or GBA Micro

Besides just being "cool", to me the only advantage of having a Micro is gaming in public without looking like an immature manchild. It's so small my hands nearly cover it entirely, and can be pocketed quickly. You also look less the douche staring at a smartphone pretending to be texting...
