I have been, and remain, non-sequitur

Sorry, I never noticed this reply. Yes, if I can figure out why the screen isn't powering on and fix that, I will make every effort to hook my Mame box up to it. |

Finally got Psychonauts in the mail... I won the auction on the 30th of the last month, mailed out payment next day, and I just got it today. All minty condition. |

Holy shit, are you going to leave negative feedback!? For a *17* day wait, I'd bust their ass.
That'd be pretty hip. I am real happy using my laptop on the SDTV as my MAME box(for now), but man I wish I could use my desktop PC. That thing will run almost anything in there, even high-powered 3D stuff that the laptop chokes on. Bel |

He said the check took a while to clear, which I don't really understand. |

Oh yeah, that'll do it. One time a guy sent me an electronic check via Paypal, it took *over two weeks* to clear. I felt so sorry for the guy, but there wasn't a lot I could do. Bel |

The only other person I paid by check was Ben a few times and no complaints there on either sides. |

well, i don't generally wait for checks to clear - if someone is willing to send a check, chances are they're not total douchebags. For large amounts (over $50 or so) I usually wait a week to give it time to clear - if it's not going to clear, it usually bounces before that. |

I picked up Tetris DX on GameBoy(for my Super GameBoy) for $3.99. Talk about a mediocre upgrade... Got Mission: Impossible - Operation Suma on Xbox for $2.99. I've always wanted to try it as it looked like Splinter Cell, but I've heard it's not nearly as ass-rapingly hard. ;) Bel |

just snagged blue dragon last week and man best $60 i ever spent I'm on disc 2 (of3) and it's a ride that the xbox360 hadn't experienced yet and this game is why i remembered that picking up a ps2 instead of a game cube woulda been worth it just for the RPG's not to mention killzone |

Went pretty crazy yesterday and treated myself to a PSP. I went for the Daxter bundle, I saw one at KMart when I was in there a week ago but when I got there it was gone. They had a few of those Star Wars bundles (White PSP with the Vader screen on the back and the Star Wars game) but I wanted to get the extra stuff in the Daxter one. Target had one so I snagged one there. PSP Daxter Bundle: $200 - Silver PSP (new model), 1 GB Memory Stick Duo, Daxter game and Best of Family Guy UMD. For $30 over the price of the system alone this seems like a great deal, especially the memory card. Wow, these things are really put together nice, great screen no dead pixels at all. Being wider definitely doesn't fatigue my hand as much. Daxter seems pretty cool, I went through a level on it. Some decent platforming bits and the camera while clunky isn't totally horrible. Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles: $30 (new) - pretty sick, graphics are nice but not too spectacular, gameplay is nice old school style instead of Metriod-vania style. Haven't figured out how to open up Syphony of the Night yet but I'm still digging on Rondo of Blood anyway. Ultimate Ghouls 'n Ghosts: $8 (new) Holy crap, seriously some of the best 2D graphics on any system! Its similar playing to the original game but the levels I have played are different. New weapons and a "novice" mode although that just adds more lifes and you keep your weapon when you die. Its still cruel platforming punishment though. I dig it just like I do all the other GnG games even though I suck at them. Capcom Collection Reloaded: $8 (new) This is pretty much Capcom Collection Volume II on the PSP, which is still sweet. Playing Strider and Captain Commando along with a few others is nice. I got these $8 games at KMart where they had a large amount of clearance games that are currently marked down another 30% BTW. Street Fighter Alpha 3 Max: $18 (used) This one should be pretty cool its got three new characters in it and some new modes. I don't know, I think fighting games are just too mashy and this one hurt my hand pretty bad after a couple of rounds. Probably have to trade this one. Hot Shots - Open Tee: $12 (used) Had to get this one, I have been wearing out Hot Shots Fore on the PS2 for a couple months so I thought this would be good to get for the handheld. It has PS1 level graphics and isn't near as deep but it plays good and very fast with no loading inbetween holes or anything. I know people say that there aren't that many must play games and that its really just a PS2 rehash machine but I think I am going to like the selection better than my DS. It just seems like 80% of the games are either kiddy supreme or like Puzzle/Brain Age type titles that don't appeal to me. |

Unreal Anthology - $30 Yeah, I know I could have gotten it on Amazon for peanuts, but the few times I have ordered from them, the shipping takes longer than usual, so it wouldn't be here when I leave for Texas. Even though I own every Unreal game, this one was worth the $$$ because I can install every game in one install (it takes a while since its 9GB) and it saves space. Plus I don't need to deal with no-CD exe files. Had NO issues installing it on my main DVD drive, even though some people claim they have had issues installing it. Did I mention that the every game has the last patches, so no need to update the games any more. I don't think there have been any more UT patches in a long while However, the biggest problem is the packaging, When you take it out of the box, it is in a dual-DVD case, but when you open it, the discs are prone to moving around - hell, I can't explain it well, but ill take pix with my cellphone. |

Downforce PS2- my quest to dredge fun out of C grade racers continue. It earns extra points for having the fearsome Titus logo. Manhunt 2~! EB games notes- Man they are desperate to sell PS3s. Note to EB having a DIRT demo running won't do it. I hope my X360 version is better. The graphics and control licked. They have advance copies of Soldier of Fortune Payback out to tease Bel. Pre-order and you open up an extra gun. Looks a 50 cal sniper fused with an Enfield battle rifle. The SOF score imo SOF- cool! SOF II- Meh.... Cold Winter PS2- the TRUE SOF II SOF: Payback- we will see Nov 13th. Nov 13- Fireprowrestling Returns PS2 comes to our side of the Pacific. Being able to play Firepro without a translation FAQ makes it a buy for me. Could be the last rassling game I buy. Unless TNA Bound for Glory is good. |

Is this for the PC version as well as the 360, or is it a 360-exclusive offer?
Though I still disagree with you on SoF II, let's move on to this "Cold Winter". Just saw some shots, man it looks good! Wish it'd come out on PC!!! When does SoF III hit? Bel |
