The Thread of Gaming Randomness

[nupoile]

Went to the new old game store today, as they just opened. Bought a couple of games, chatted up the owner and manager and watched the end of SW ep III with them. The owner guy has another store in a nearby town, I've been to that one a couple of times. The prices at these stores are.....healthy.....similar to eBay minus shipping. Selection was good enough, there was an Earthbound there, loose with strategy guide, $260 if I remember right. But there was a good amount of PS1,2 and Xbox games at not too bad of prices.

I'm happy to have a used game store in my town again, and its just down the street from me!

Any Dreamcast or Saturn stuff?

[nupoile]

No. That is actually what I was most keeping an eye out for too. It didn't look like they were done setting up the store. I did talk with the owner and it sounds like they get all sorts of stuff in at his other store. He mentioned things like Virtual Boy and Jaguar so I'm sure I'll find Dreamcast and Saturn stuff in the future.

CROSS PLATFORM IS NOT A VARIANT GAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH
CROSS REGION IS NOT A VARIANT GAAAAAHHHHHHH

You can't own SMB Wii compilation to substitute for SNES one. They are different systems. Different hardware different software different everything.

Your personal opinions on variants in some instances made sense but in other ways drove me up a wall.

On the whole another good ep guys

that part bothered me too XD a re-released port of a game on a different system does not equal the original cartridge.

I'd probably just keep trying to push the 'Open' button over and over hoping for something else to open.

I like this thread.

Anyone played Absolution yet? Not sure if I should exchange currency for it. Everyone saying it's too linear is scaring me off.

i watched a trailer for it, it doesn't look like what i think of when i think hitman. i'm not too familiar with the series, but i have played a little years ago on ps2, and back then it was definitely a stealth game. now, when i watch the trailer, the voice over lady says "the ultimate experience in stealth gameplay" as the hitman is walking away from an explosion. not really what i would call stealth.
