God, I like the original Grand Theft Auto, but goddamn that game is a pain in the ass. I have spent an embarrassing amount of time on the second set of missions, Heist Almighty, and I just managed to break 1.5 million points. The amount of points needed is 2 million.

Today I learned:

People are selling clans in Clash of Clans for $1000 or so! At least thats what one local guy was willing to sell it for here in a local forums. He said he is at level 101.

I do not play this game but who the heck is selling $1000 in-game items, isn't the point of playing games is the experience in getting there? Fine, I understand, some people want to cut it short and just be at top level (which I am not sure what else you have left to do in a game) and maybe go around virtually bullying people with your all powerful character. I would accept it if it was for $20, $50, maybe $150 but thats it. Seriously, whats the point?

after doing a little bit more research, i found a guy that is willing to "give" you ps3 trophies if you pay him . I am not sure how he does this, I am guessing he will log into your account and unlock achievements but its a sad world if people are going to pay others just to log online and brag how many trophies they have. Wasn't the point playing the game and trophies are just small incentives?

Not sure of your age or the median age of the people on the site right now, about 2 years ago when most of the community was mad at me for making threads I think it was around 30 years old.

So Just wanted to say that almost every guy in high school plays that game I would say almost everyone in my age range plays it(16-18 ) and a lot of young teens. many people spend there money On things called crystals. I've tried to play the game but I highly dislike these type of games.

Kind of sad people are causing there parents to loose money because of app purchases with credit cards.

I looked up that Entaku no Seito: Students of Round game. I dig it. Looks like Etrian Odyssey a bit. Is it region-free?

I don't think that it is. But as a consolation prize here is where I read about it:

F-Zero GX is seriously fucking amazing and Nintendo needs to embrace this. I don't care if Shigeru thinks there's "nothing left to be done."

Create your own racer and level them up, a track editor (with online share abilities), a race car creator/editor/tuner, 4 player offline local split screen racing, online multiplayer racing with up to 32 racers, a story mode with branching paths and bosses... there are ways a new F-Zero could expand. Shiggy just doesn't care about the franchise.

Bought an iCade core on Amazon for $20. Loaded Neo Emu on my Galaxy tablet and got Garou Mark of the Wolves running perfectly. Found a guide to upgrading the iCade's button and stick for about $100.

I finally found a way to get an arcade "cab" in my house that won't make my wife go nuts or break my poor bank account.

Since Mario kart has zero g elements, I doubt we will see another Fzero anytime soon. I love the series, and think GX is one of the best games ever created, so I am wary that anyone could make a better game than GX. If I could get a LAN multiplayer version of GX (that is not the cost and size of eight AX cabinets) on the Wiiu or PC, I would buy four copies the day of, and four down the road.

I agree GX is amazing, enough that I beat it years ago. All in all though, I think the original F-Zero is still the best. It's kind of ridiculous that we got three F-Zero games on GBA, but not a single one on DS or 3DS.

Do i suck that bad in NBA jam but the genesis or snes version near the very end the cpu always wins by a point or two or I win by a point. I never get blowouts but I guess its good since its keeping the game interesting. Anyone else sees that in nba jam?

DS Lite is annoying if you're playing GBA games on it; the cart sticks out by about half an inch.

I still like the idea of buying a DSlite with a broken hinge and taking the top half off and then using the bottom only for GBA games.

If focus is mostly older GBA games, the GBA SP (101 bright light) is more compact, fits in the front pocket. Oh yeah, there also is that compatibility of all the GB, GBC, GBA carts. The older GB bootleg multi game carts are a good way to find rare imports.

There is definitely a following of people who hate the way you hold the GBA SP in your hands, i prefer the original GBA to any handheld, just feels more comfortable.
