Bone will definitely enjoy this one. Nintendo found some minty fresh Famicom and FDS stuff in a storage closet, including a Disk Writer.

I am always surprised, how can something be stored for like 20 years and no one even notices it?
I know of a local video business that had Umatic tapes stored never sold.!

You would be highly surprised at how amazingly inept many businesses can be.

Biohazrd 2 (Value Plus) for the Dreamcast has a demo disc for Code Veronica with it, but that demo disc also contains some music/audio tracks from a bunch of different OSTs and drama CDs. In particular there's a drama track involving Jill on it that I was listening to, and holy crap, her back story is pretty dark. The track cuts off in a sort of inopportune place that makes me feel like things got even worse for her, but I'm not really one to sit down and listen to drama CDs. I'm curious if anyone knows whether or not the the Drama CDs for the first two games had any involvement from Mikami, Kamiya, or any of the original writers. As far as I'm concerned, they may as well be fan-fiction if there wasn't any input from the creators; "canon" or not.

I was just screwing around in the first stage in Wind Waker today by swimming around the island and I noticed a secret underwater cave. You just barely have enough breath to make it and when you get into the cave there is nothing there hmmm... I wonder what its purpose is.

I noticed that in many games you get tired, frustrated, or feel mentally exhausted after playing.

What game did you play that kept you in a joyful good mood?

Lately, it's just any game that isn't in Japanese

All the reading that goes with those just really drains you after a while, so it's nice to play something I don't need to concentrate so hard on to play once in a while.

You're going to feel that way if you play anything for too long. Likewise, difficult games have the same effect on the brain as a test; so, you are going to feel exhausted after some time with those too.

You should seek something that is fun in relatively short bursts, hard (but not impossible) to put down, and, ideally, requires or encourages physical activity or direct social interaction. Accordingly, I recommend games like Wii Sports, Chompy Chomp Chomp Party, Goldeneye 007, Katamari Damacy, etc. Music and rhythm games also make me feel invigorated too; so, you might want to try Guitar Hero, Rez, Space Channel Five, DDR, etc.

Have you guys ever heard of the Playstation dual analog controller? Not the DualShock...



https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dual_Analog_Controller



I want one. It looks awesome. I've always loved the DualShock versions, but I think I do prefer concave joysticks in the end. The longer leg length and the shoulder buttons being a little varied has me interested in how it feels too.

I wonder how well PSX controllers work with some PC adapters and stuff. I've had an adapter for two PS2 controllers for ages so I imagine PSX should work through it too. I've been wanting to get an original PSX controller without the joysticks since I loved those and now I want one of these.

I'm always weary about ordering old console controllers online though. You guys think ebay is the best bet?

I'm just so excited... I was sitting here thinking, man, I don't need any videogame posters in my college room, that's just silly... but now I want THIS as a poster. Or at least a Red Dead poster of some kind.
