Episode 8 is out!

Listening to the podcast as I type this. Thanks for the mention!

As for the Mega Drive... I think it might be European (it says PAL) but I'm not sure.

Huh, after Googling it seems that is the PAL model from Spain. How did it end up where you are I wonder? If consoles could talk...

Interesting timing, I've been learning how to code NES myself lately, so I thought this was really cool to listen to.

The bit about the Punch Out tattoo had me actually laugh out loud. Sorta awkward when nobody around you knows you're listening to something...

Also, Super Ghouls N' Ghosts is a completely different game from Ghouls N' Ghosts. ;o

I love the idea of more NES software, so go for it. Oh, and you are completely correct about G 'n G, which is why the Genesis version is superior. :)

First time listening to the podcast. Very fun to listen to!  :leo:

Duke I don't appreciate how you rip the 32x every time it's brought up.  If you do it again I'm only going to listen to the podcast 4-5 times instead of the usual 6-7.  Capeech?

Loved the interview btw.  John sounds like a great dude.

LOL, mea culpa. I'll try to love the 32x more, even if it causes me to die a little inside. Does it count that I actually bought one from the store when they were out? On clearance, mind you, but I did buy one at retail.

That's how I got mine! I actually really liked the 32x because of this, it only cost me under $30 and came with Cosmic Carnage. Considering Phantasy Star IV cost almost $100 back then you can see why I was happy about the add-on... even if I only did ever manage to get two additional games (Virtua Racing Deluxe & Metal Head) for it.

I remember paying $90 for Phantasy Star IV. Completely worth it though.

I definitely agree, PSIV was well worth the asking price.

Imagine how much better PSIV would have been on the 32X...

I got the 32X for Christmas, it was the #1 thing on my list.  The surprise was that my parents got us a new Genesis 2 cause our previous one had a loose power connection and it constantly shut off by itself.  Great Christmas.

Hey now!

‘Cuz absolutely no one demanded it—but a couple of the co-hosts seem to dig it—here are my fave parts from the Intro and Small Scores portion of the latest Collectorcast (now with 50% more TL;DR!):


1:28- Nothin’ against ya, but your account of Hurricane Sandy makes me even more grateful that I live in a relatively mild climate.


3:06- I’m decent at converting English to metric measurements—miles to kilometers and pounds to kilograms, mostly-- in my head. Probably ‘cuz I’m big with arithmetic and stats and all. Which would explain my super-specific posts on the milestones thread.


3:52- While it is kinda cool to see the numbers “increase” from miles to kilometers, it’s also a bummer to see the pounds “decrease” to kilograms, especially if you’re tryin’ to lose weight. ‘Cuz dropping 5 pounds sounds like you lost a lot more than dropping 2.3 kg.
 

8:27- “I mean, he lives in Indianapolis, not too far from me.” Oh dear lord, I am so sorry. Good God, Indianapolis? I take back all the bad things I’ve said about you and HungryMoose.


8:50-9:20- “YOU GUYS OPEN NEW GAMES!!!” *Sigh* Oh, poor, naïve Duke. I’d have thought by now you understood that logic has no place in game-trading at GameStop.


9:40- “I’ve heard it said that ‘when you try to rationalize, you’re telling rational lies.’” Sounds like a tidbit of wisdom from that paragon of clean living and emotional stability, Gary Busey.

10:54- You know, Kod Blaapz sounds like it’d be a pretty fun game, and nothing at all like that Call of Duty you keep gripin’ about.


12:44- “That just proves if you’re a good person, you’re a cool dude, that stuff’s gonna come back to you.” THIS is a really big reason why I’ve been hanging out here as long and as frequently as I have. It can’t be understated that we’ve a bumper crop of real decent, stand-up guys here… despite my best efforts.


12:54- Hey, there’s nothing wrong with a gamer embracing his feminine side from time to time… so long as he doesn’t try to embrace me.


19:15- “In case you hadn’t heard, the United States has decided to start a war with Canada.” I’ll just leave the context of this statement to your imagination.


21:50- “I mean, who doesn’t appreciate some good, possibly bordering on the illegal, Mary Kate & Ashley Sweet 16 action?” I’ll leave this one to your imagination as well.

22:00- “You pick a niche and you go for it!” Probably not the most appropriate response to the situation, but definitely one of the funniest.


22:50- “…so, (Crabby) what was the bad game you rented?”

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bcYppAs6ZdI&NR=1&feature=fvwp


23:05- “And, more recently, he (ixtaileddemonfox) picked up that huge TV on the side of the road for free.” Which I figure is the biggest non-gaming score of the year.


29:25- Aw man, why didja hafta remind me of Bildtstar’s Zaxxon board game, huh?! And I’d just gotten over being all angry for not having one! Jerk…


30:50- Whattaya talkin’ about, Nomads are LAME! Um, no offense to my good buddy and Sega enthusiast Razor Knuckles, eh heh heh. Please don't hit me again, I'll be good...


31:14- Sheesh, no wonder SingleBanana hasn’t posted an Atari game review blog in ages—he’s too busy with those silly pinball machines! That guy’s gotta get his priorities in order…


37:04- “One qualification (to co-host on CollectorCast) is that you must really like Super Metroid.” Well, that lets me out.


38:15- “And was it on (Duke.Togo’s) recommendation that (Zagnorch) grabbed Code of Princess?”

If ya wanna know the real reason I picked it up, you can read all about it here:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=10298.msg147632#msg147632

As you can see, it wasn’t a snap decision on my part; I had to weigh things very carefully.

BTW I don’t think you want me to ‘team up’ with you on Code of Princess, Dukey. You know, seeing as how I plan to lose the game on purpose. Besides, with Skylanders Giants having my undivided attention, every other game in my collection’s been all but ignored.


38:50-41:30- Wow, you really found my silly get-up that funny, huh?

[img width=357 height=385]http://www.mediafire.com/conv/bc6dcca838df6fa43078c6bcbd1a92667e7ef646606449288212cb854d6c9b104g.jpg[/img]

You, my friend, are easily entertained.

BTW seeing as how I was the one who pushed the thread off-topic, I figured it was my duty to get it back on track. My apologies to everyone for the inconvenience.

http://www.rfgeneration.com/forum/index.php?topic=853.msg151102#msg151102

Oh, and you’re welcome.


41:40- I hope you realize that, by stating that you really enjoy my Collectorcast “fave bits” write-ups, you’re enabling my crippling OCD…

50:45- “I can’t say on the show what his (caption) was on one of those, but let’s just say I found it amusing.”

You wouldn’t be referring to the words I put in the mouth of the Tails doodle on the note that Razor Knuckles included with the Shadow the Hedgehog game he sent me (in red):

51:24- The CIB Metroid GBA game photo I posted wasn’t actually mine—it was Johnny Nintendo’s. He attempted to post the photo himself, but had trouble coding it so it’d show up on the thread. So I helped the guy out. No big...


56:35-

[img width=500 height=380]http://images.cheezburger.com/completestore/2010/2/26/129116867279547768.jpg[/img]


57:14- Nope. Not a single word.


57:20-57:40 – LALALALALA, I’M NOT LISTENING, LALALALA

Actually, I am making a little something-something that’s a trophy of sorts, which (I hope) will be revealed around Christmas time. It’s not intended for the general populace, however.


58:14- Hey, Crabs, didja ask the surgeons if you could keep the appendix? You know, as an heirloom to pass on to the grandkids? I hope you asked if you could check the thing out after they took it outta ya…


59:20- Now there’s an entry for America’s Canada’s Funniest Home Videos: Crabby goin’ to town on his NES dance pad, when alla sudden his appendectomy stitches give way, and he slips on his own guts. If that doesn’t win the $10,000 grand prize—or the Canadian equivalent—then nothin’ will.


1:01:10- Decent craigslist finds in my area are few and far between as well.


Aaaand there you have it.

I’m not sure I’ll get to doing a “fave bits” of the rest of the ‘cast, seeing as how I spent waaaay too much time with the small scores segment.

Now it's off to bed with me...


‘Late

I seriously laugh my @$$ off when reading these Zignatch. You have a gift for the pen.

Oh, and yes, I still have a good laugh every time I look at that Op. Prime pic.

Man, I can't wait to get power back so I can listen to this! :) :) :)

If you have a car charger and a smartphone, you could YouTube us ;)

True, but I'm going to wait until I can have it on my iPod, as it takes me a few days to get through one. So far I've missed two Giant Bombcasts as well.

Giant Bombcast?

http://www.giantbomb.com/podcast/ (I get it off itunes).

A really funny group of guys who have been in the business for a while, talking mostly about new games. It's very unstructured so you're beat if they start talking about something you don't give a shit about because it could be an hour before they change the subject. I happen to find them very funny so I usually don't mind.

Cool I'll check it out.  I'll add it to the exhaustive list of weekly and daily podcasts i already listen to. 

finally caught up, every episode was great! keep em coming, now i can finally listen as they come out :) . i find these really help to pass the time while submitting things to the database.

Just got about 15 minutes into this episode on my lunch break. So glad to have my scores mentioned!

Also thanks for the kind words about my dealings here. I'm very glad to be able to help fellow collectors and be a part of this community!

No problem, glad to have you!

Also I just told my coworker that I got name dropped in the collectorcast because of him.

He got a kick out of it LOL.

You've earned that recognition. You've been an amazing member and we're glad to have you.

Back in my Toys R Us days my manager found several marked down to about $15.  Snapped that up, played it, beat it, and like an idiot, sold it.  It would have been worth $120.  Great game.

Bug! rules.  It was the only game my wife would play with me when we were first married.

$15? Wow, I never saw it go down that far around here.

couple of things...

Bill, did I know you were a fellow New Englander? I don't think I did. But if I did, then I forgot.

Guys, I'm always slightly bummed that I don't get to be part of the Small Scores discussion. But I tend to not post my scores in the thread and instead save them for the end of the month so I can do a single blog post showing off all the finds for the month. :\

I don't think I knew you were up here either.  Maybe I'll see you at PAX East or Too Many Games next year.

That's a good point, we should also check blog posts for scores from now on.

I'm southcoast MA (about an hour south of Boston, and hour west of the Cape). We'll have to plan to meet up at PAX East. :D

I usually try to post in the Small Scores thread and just say "updated my blog with all my finds" but I feel like a small text post like that gets missed when you guys are skimming through drooling over the pics. Just saying... my blog post pics can be pretty drool-worthy too. Haha.

We're very simple creatures. Just post pics in the thread also ;)

but then that will ruin the surprise of my blog post! :(

I READ EVERYTHING.
...just sayin'

The first time I got a mention I told my fiance.  She wasn't nearly as thrilled as I was.

You should see how unexcited my wife is, and I do the show...

Lol, my wife tried to listen to the show once. She said she was ready to fall asleep within 15 minutes.....

@noise - uh oh, we've been exposed as closet SEGA haters! So sorry we havnt been adding your blog to the cast. We'll keep a closer eye on pick ups there for this coming recording.

I was driving with my wife one day and I suggested that we listen to the show and she laughed :(

The next Collectorcast should be titled "Episode 9: Psh, Women..."

Why? We love 'em, and they tolerate us...

Your wife must've been in the room when you wrote that, eh Duke?  Lookin for some good boy points

Do you guys have any kinda schedule for when you try and record these or is it just whenever you can all get together long enough to do it?

We try to to one roughly once a month.  being in three different time zones and juggling real life stuff makes a regular recording schedule tough.

I thought getting you off Xbox Live was the hard part ;)

Episode 9 teaser!

Cue the suspenseful eyecatch going into commercial:

I loled

You might wanna take some Pepto for that.

Found my iPod so I could catch up again.

Mega Man 2 is the best Mega Man!

Represent.
