Absolutely.

For instance, Rayearth...

103 of 5639 collectors (1.8%) have this game in their collection
27 of 5639 collectors (0.4%) have this game in their wishlist.
3 of 5639 collectors (0%) have this game for sale or trade.

You are free to PM those three to make an offer.

Yes. You can use it to see who owns a particular game, who has it on their wishlist, and who is offering it for sale. You can also view those members' collections as a whole if you so desire.

Say I wanted to buy Bone a birthday present, I could look up his account, see if he has the game on there, and then go about surprising him with it by paying Stephen King to write a quick horror novella about the game and then showing up on Bone's front doorstep with both the novella and the game and shouting, "All work and no play makes Bone a dull boy!" before throwing it at him and running off into the Maine wilderness, naked and screaming.

So the last time I was in Atlanta, that was you wasn't it?

Maybe I can use RFGen to finally nab a legit copy of Alice in Cyberland.

Yes.

And maybe. There is only one guy on the site who owns that.

A toy line I collect has recently started re-releasing older figures with updated paint jobs, which they refer to as Premium Color Editions.

In conversation fans naturally shorten this to PCE.

Which I read as PC Engine, no matter the context, every single time. :lol:

Point: I have lots of toys, but my gaming habit is far more ingrained.

As it should be of course.

Really? I rarely do the "collector" thang but I have to admit to buying it because I'm going for a set of FDS RPGs.

This should probably go in the Unpopular Opinions thread but I generally eschew tokusatsu and mecha games/manga/anime/whatever because I just can't stand how that stuff looks. For mecha I suppose I make exceptions for Front Mission.... and Evangelion of course.

Granted, a great deal of any RPGs with Ultraman are probably crossover games. Bandai loves crossover games.

Mecha stuff is my jam but I'm not terribly into most of the fanservicey games they tend to mass produce in Japan. I have a few Super Robot Wars games but I don't think I've ever finished one,

Someone on Twitter has used my review of This War of Mine to advocate for its removal from an online game shop.

Not only this makes me extremely uneasy, I knew it was going to happen and that's really depressing. I think I got lucky with my article on corruption and video game journalism, only one guy used it in favour of Gamergate and it didn't go anywhere.
Looking for a cool game? Find it in my blog!

Whoaaaaaaaaa man, those Advent Rising controls... :lol:

Dabbed a little into it to check it out, maybe a decent fun short romp? It froze on me though and the disc looks perfect. Was this game known for that?
