I hated Metal Head so I sold it. Spider Man is great, but I'm not paying the big bucks for it.

No games today but I did buy a condo and my first cellphone.
A place of my own to put games :)

Yep, it should be cool. Now I just need a new car with AC. Perhaps this fall.
Funny thing. when I was looking at the place the owner had a big ass TV with
a Xbox and a bunch of games, the spare bedroom was a computer room/office.
It reminded me of my place. He was also a cat owner. He had a shoe box on the
floor full of kitty toys. It could be a sign. Later on I might go kitty shopping ;-)

Frick I miss my X-box. I should complain about my hotel TV.grrrrrr.....

Sonic Mega Collection Plus for Xbox. Now I can have a Genesis fix sometimes.
I bought a 13" TV for the pad and I hooked it to the box. My hotel room is
better for it. Hopefully I'll get the place on the 15th.

I just got some wire shelving, and after 10 years of gaming, I can have ALL of my game systems hooked up at once! I am SOOO happy.

It looks sharp and when I get a Genesis 2 and a few other goodies then I'll take pics, you';d be suprise how badass my setup looks now.

It is damn expensive...the only reason I have it was because I was able to con some pawn shop owner into giving it to me as part of a package. ;)

Yeah, it's really nice. I have two switch boxes for all of my systems, it's so great to be able to just hit a switch to get to the Genesis, or Xbox, or Saturn, or...

Sister recommends lot of toys to keep your kitty happy. :)

Glad that you picked up the 13 inch...at least it'll keep you in the Xbox gaming scene while out on the road. There's a small 13 inch TV up in my area at work...but it's just too much for me to handle. First, there'd be no 5.1...then, I'd be going from 27 inch to 13 inch...and it's just too much for me when I've got the laptop right there. They do have a couple of HDTVs at work though...and the next time someone is dumb enough to leave a door to them open, I'm getting my Xbox, my HD cables and hooking the motherfucker up! Enter the Matrix in 1080i baby!

Let us know how Sonic Comp. turns out. I don't think I'd ever pick it up...but I'd be interested in hearing about it. :)

Naw, not yet. I'm trying to get it so that every pic on the front page's randomizer has some sort of gaming theme to go along with it. Basically, whenever I update the randomizer with new pics, I try to take out older shots where it's just the cats laying around(not on a game, or by a system, etc), or something else that's really not game-related. Got a couple of new one of Roscoe coming up...just got to get my lazy ass in gear about doing it...or something. ;)

Yes, my copy of Zaxxon came so I am DONE with the 32X, and I got my AV/S-video cables for the SNES.

Just got to straighten the setup out a bit and I'll post pix, looks VERY sweet.

Driver Parallel Lines and Far Cry Evolution
I considered getting Black but it wasn't that great. Total Overdose was
also in the running but I haven't had a lot of luck with 3rd person shooters.

At work I got my Dell laptop. The keys and touchpad are wonky so I got
a USB adapter for standard mice and keyboards. Now I can live off the land
as I travel. Then I got a cheap board and mouse for the office and an optical
USB mouse for the road. All hail Staples. Am I wired yet?

Fucking-a I *hate* Far Cry. I have tried to get into the demo *5* times now as I just hear such wonderful things about it. Each time, I just can't do it...it just sucks too hard. Let me know how you feel about it...and more importantly, how you feel about that fucking unbelievable hit innaccuracy thing they've got going. God, you pull the trigger on your gun and the crosshair expands to have the screen. How in the fuck you're supposed to hit anything is beyond me. Are we controllering a 12 year old, who can't shoot a gun nor handle the kick of an automatic weapon? What's going on!?

What are the specs on the laptop?

The Lappy 486 has Windows XP pro with a 1.6 Gig Pentium and 504 Mb of RAM.
It is a greedy system and it seems to need all of it and then some.

I broke down and bought Coast to Coast 2006 and Black. 20 bucks each.

Urban Chaos for X-box. I figure I'll be dumping a lot of games at the
thrift store duting my move so one new one won't hurt. That and I'm still
pissed that Breakdown and Driver Parallel Lines were total dogs.

- Holy fuck, Windows *XP* on a 486? Man, I don't even like seeing it running on a damn P3!

- Wow, good deal on Black! Let us know how you feel CtC measures up to the original. :)

It was the weekend and I held off on game purchases. It was so tempting.
Instead I sent Flatout, Destroy All Humans, Breakdown and Driver P Lines
to charity store heaven. It was the fate they deserved.
Will I stay strong or will a copy of Richard Burns Rally snare me if I ever
see it released in the wild? Time to play some Urban Chaos...

***SNAPPPPP***
I was hunting for a mouse-pad, a USB number pad for the Lappy 486,
and some work clothes. Then I saw THE STORE. A game rental and sales
shop. Cool. I walk in. Ding!!!! Dreamcast games, PS1, SNES, Genesis
as well as the current players too. New and used. Hardware as well.
Like a Genesis Mark 2 in a box with free Sonic game for $40.
They even had Urban Chaos for Dreamcast. But I was strong.
I settled for -
a RF switch to replace my aging SNES one.
Quake 3 dc (I gave mine away as a gift), Incoming dc, Speed Devils Online
Racing dc, Illbleed for a horror game collecting friend, Rallisport Challenge 2
(it gets a second chance) and NFS Hot Pursuit 2 Xbox.

Did this perfect day get better? Yes, I went to a cat adoption booth and
visited with 3 tortie tabby kittens and a sleek black girl kitty.
