I reccommend digital. Comixology is where I get mine. Saves you space and they run specials too! They also offer free comics (some are Marvel and DC).

Right now they are having a $.99 sale for "Before Watchmen" books.
Great deal, but personally, I need comics on paper. I collect them, and I can take comics with me for road trips and other boring times.

Oh, I still collect floppies but I've got it down to just 1 title (Uncanny X-Men, working on a full run). But I've been collecting since the 1980s, so space is....getting cramped. I do still collect keys and CGC.

I use my Nexus 7, and can store my books on there. I can sit in bed and read my books without a light. If I can't make it to the LCS, I can download my books immeditely when they released from anywhere (provided I have an internet connection). I was against digital at first, but I'm slowing liking it better.

Digital or Hard Copy....it doesn't matter in the end. We just gotta keep the industry alive.

Absolutely not. There is an FAQ on GameFAQS where this guy gets into 30 hit combos and even greater with Stick. I tried it a few times but that's pretty tough to maintain all that and not get killed doing it. I've only beaten it with the super gun mode on Original.

Already wasted a few sessions trying to beat it with a friend.

For now level 6 The House of the Dead is the end of the road for us.

Maybe next time... ^^

The inner HOTD fanboy in me loved seeing that. Both of those games were developed by Sega's AM1.

Better than what I get. I basically paid for a demo when I bought House of the Dead 2 on Dreamcast.

Only level 1 works properly. Once you get to level 2, the game glitches out, and you can no longer see the enemies that are there and attacking you.

After digging a while on the internet, I found that I happened to get some of a faulty run of pressings of that particular game. Apparantly Sega outsourced some of the disc production to another company, and this particular run of games are known to have this issue.

...lucky me.

Go for a cheap disc only. The game is really worth owning... ^^

I believe that was a news story with several Dreamcast launch titles back in the day. I remember Hydro Thunder being affected with that as well.

Live baseball on the tv and VG Baseball (I prefer MLB 2005) on a nearby monitor is gravy.
