Random Gaming Thoughts

On the list of "Awesome projects I thought were dead in the water"... the SD card replacement for DC GD-ROM is apparently still alive! http://dknute.livejournal.com/42609.html

Last I remember hearing of that was late 2012, so this was kinda surprising. Now I'm hoping he changes his mind on the "I'm not gonna make these" because I will SO sign up for one.

I came here to post just that. I was looking to see if anyone has made headway in a Saturn SD card mod, but found that instead.

There is a guy on KLOV and Neo making an ST-V Flash Cart, in sorta related news.

WHY DO YOU TELL ME THESE THINGS?!? Because I KNOW it's gonna be a limited-run-one-time-only sort of thing, so now I'm like "Do I think I'm EVER going to want an ST-V?" and have to base my purchasing decision on that.

Asked an ebay seller if a CIB Gameboy game would be sent in a box.

Could be, usually sent in a bubble envelope.

Well I caved and pre-ordered Drakengard 3.

Didn't want to, but I don't really want to hunt for a $70 used copy down the road. I have a feeling the game will be released in limited quantities.

I hate pre-ordering and hate paying full price for games.

Now just how bad is this Digital River I've heard so much about?

In other news, I think I'm going to go for a full collection of T&E Soft golf games, as well as a complete set of EA PGA Tour (pre-Tiger Woods) golf games.

I feel like a few of the PC gamers here will enjoy this comic.

Just played 3.5 hours of SLEEPING DOGS to go from 80% story complete to 83.33% story complete.

Love to hate this game. Beautiful game, but sos on every friggin mission and the story is crap. Can't see myself beating this game this year unless I spend days on it.

I built my own gaming computer a few years back, complete with a cutting-edge graphics card. Wasn't cheap.

Most of the games I play run in DOSBox.

Do you need to reach 100% to actually see the game's ending or is there a bunch of sidequests, bonus content, etc?

I mean, you can beat a game like Donkey Kong Country with less than 25% on the percentage meter.

But I have no idea what Sleeping Dogs is like.

It's worth it. My new rig has a nice graphics card, and I'm able to run lots of older stuff in nicer detail.

I like the power when I need it but I mean, 90% of my PC gaming time is with low-end titles.

I have a friend who, for some reason, thought he needed a 780ti. All he plays is LoL and WoW. More money than sense I suppose.

I don't know, but I guess you and I are going to find out come May.
