RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 25

[techwizard]

@Tynstar - What you're saying about importing is fair. I really brought it up because I was having a hard time finding data on exactly how many North American releases there are, so I went with the grand total.

And I'm not arguing the success of the Vita or how much Sony supports it, etc. I was just arguing that the notion that it doesn't have any games is false. There are plenty and tons more on the way. 

i like my vita...for youtube and facebook. and i feel really bad about that, i plan on playing it at some point.

Hello again,

It's slow going for me listening to the latest 'cast. I just got to the 52-minute mark when you guys brought up the head-spinny glitch in New Vegas... which really belongs in the Dead or Alive series  . ANYway, it reminded me of several Cracked.com articles about various video game glitches, which you can read about... IF YOU DARE:

This one has the head-spinny scene that Bil was talkin' about.

Another look at the head-spinny scene.

There are several more on glitches, but I'll leave it to you to dig 'em up on your own.


On another note:"Don't qualify it, just say it!" is the best Bil line in this CollectorCast so far. Heck, that could be the new Nike slogan...

Speaking of glitches: I've been listening to the CollectorCast on YouTube on the 1.5x-speed setting so I can listen to a 3-hour spiel in just 2 hours. However, just for fun I set it at half-speed... and now I know what it would sound like if Duke, Crabs and Bil did the show while drunk. You really gotta give it a listen, it's a freakin' hoot. Especially 55:10 to 55:20; it sounds like your stereotypical soused buddy recalling one of the big regrets in his life.

UPDATE: Just went into the second hour of the show while still listening at half-speed. Seriously, you gotta experience it like this; it's funny as hell. It might take twice as long to go through the deal, but I'm tellin' ya, it's freakin'-a worth it.

Keep up the entertaining stuff, my good men...

Yes sir. I'm a moderator on the forums there and have written some features for their main page.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I loved this topic.  It's nice to know I'm not the only one who spends too much money on great games that just sit on the shelf.  Here's a short list of games included in my pile:

Mega Man X2. 



I love all the classic Mega Man games.  1-6 are all great, I played the crap out of X, beat X3 and liked that one, and I even enjoyed MM7 a bit (however I didn't enjoy paying retail for X3 and MM7...ouch).  Anyhoo I bought X2 on feebay about 6 months ago, popped it in for about 5 minutes, and haven't touched it since.

Super Mario RPG

Yeah....I know there was a retro playthrough of this game a few months back and I owned the game at that point, but I just couldn't find the time to get around to it.  I know I'd love it too.  I'm a big fan of isometric views (Final Fantasy Tactics is my favorite game ever) and it looks quite appealing in Super Mario RPG as well.

Dragon Warrior I, II, III

[img width=256 height=372]http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/8/84/Dragon_Warrior.jpg[/img]

Again, this is a time problem.  I'd love to get wrapped up in a classic rpg, but I just don't have the time to do it.  I reserve most of my gaming for quickies like shooters.  And speaking of shooters.....


Darius Twin and Super R-Type

I have no excuse for these two games.  I just haven't played them yet.  Again I know I'd love them if I gave them even a 30 second try, but for some reason they never cross my mind when I'm thinking of something I want to play.

It's really easy to forget about the titles tucked away on the shelf until you sit down and make yourself think of them. I hope it inspired you to play some, and I have been working my way through Dragon Warrior in prep for II. I know I won't dig out, but I'll make some progress.

[RetroRage]

Have you played Metroid 2 since the recording?

[Duke.Togo]

Have you played Metroid 2 since the recording?

No sir. Just Dragon Warrior so far.

There seems to be a lot of confusion. Let me help.

It really is shameful, I would estimate about 90% of what I own is unplayed...I started to pick some that were pretty well known as good games that I know I NEED to play to form my pile, but the list dragged on, so I started a new thread for it.

To keep it short here...

I have never beaten a Zelda game, never played a Metroid game, never played any Donkey Kong games, only played two of the Mega man games, and the only metal gear game I have played was Metal Gear Solid.
