I'm a big Train Simulator fan, but haven't played Densha de Go. From what I've seen, it seems to push to the edge of what makes train driving fun. Relaxing stretches of time keeping an eye on your speed followed by a sudden burst of having to be incredibly precise. It's a really cool balance.

That reminds me, my Rakuten order actually shipped, with a tracking number and everything, and it looks like it cleared customs yesterday. I even have my conductor's hat*. * - Actually a policeman's hat from a cheap halloween costume A Yolo Wizard posted:How about Train Simulator 2011, 2012, 2013... That is a beast of a controller, and the best part about it is at $199 it's technically cheaper than a DDG Type 2 controller. univbee fucked around with this message at 14:14 on May 29, 2013 |

In the two PS1 Spider-Man games, if you entered a swear into the cheat menu Spidey would pop up and punch it turning it into a nicer word like "daffodil." I never really named my characters bad words as a kid until high school when all my friends and I dug out our Pokemon Reds and Blues. Then everyone's rival was ADOUCHE or something similar. Though ever since before I knew what it meant I named my Ryhorns "Horny." I've always just gone with whatever the "canon" name was for characters. If they don't have one I'll do something like "Protag" or in the case of SMT games that give you a first and a last name, "Piro Tagonist." Also this is the name of my current Dragon Quest 3 character:  At least one of you has to get it.

I hate selling on eBay because of all the stupid fees and people claiming 3 months later they never got the item. I was thinking of optical audio modding them before selling them for extra  but it's such a monstrous pain-in-the-rear end of a mod that the amount I'd have to add for it to be worth my while would be something I doubt anyone would want to pay.

My wife has given me an ultimatum and I have to ditch my 27" Trinitron. If anyone in the Montreal area wants it it's yours, I'd rather not put it out on the curb where it'll just be gutted for the copper inside.

So I placed my Rakuten order on the last day of the shipping discount sale (two weeks ago from this Friday) and I've been just patiently waiting, but now people are getting their orders and I haven't even gotten the confirmation e-mail for mine. Is there anyone else out there who has placed an order during the sale and hasn't been asked to confirm yet? Barring that, who should I be contacting (rakuten or surugaya) and should I be trying to do so in Japanese?

Miyamotos RGB NES posted:Looks like I'm going to have to get into some King of Fighters I see. Thank you. '98 is a good place to start, it's well balanced. I personally like '99 a lot. 2001-2002 are steaming piles in my opinion. I've never played them, but there's also '98 UM and '02 UM (updated versions) - they'd probably be easy to get, i think on ps2.

the_lion posted:'98 is a good place to start, it's well balanced. I personally like '99 a lot. 98UM and 2k2UM have 360 releases and are the easiest to get going that route. 98UM did get a PS2 release in the US but 2k2UM was only on PS2 in Japan. Also agreeing that 98 is the best place to start if you're new to KoF. There's still a lot of people that play it on GGPO, for example.

I went to great lengths to try and restrict international people from not getting matched with people that dislike international postage.

Hooray Rakuten day! They didn't tell me the cube & player were complete in box but hey, I'm not complaining. I however am complaining about the lack of digital port on the cube. Oh well I guess I can cancel my other order for the digi cable and deal with it. Oh and I gota JP21 > Euro scart adapter and a 32x plug for model 1 with stereo passthrough.

Hey, any Crystalis fans? You should buy this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350801007893&ssPageName=ADME:B:WNA:US:1123 This was a promo-only poster given out at CES, so it's absurdly rare. I have one, and it's the only other one I've ever seen. The print job on it is excellent, it's very frame-able. This came from the collection of the same guy I got mine from, he was smart enough to just packrat all the game stuff he could get his hands on at CES and keep it all in mint condition. As far as I can tell he's basically the only guy who did this, he's kind of a hero. EDIT: I'll die before you get the Kabuki Quantum Fighter poster I also got from this dude.

Another Rakuten post for the pile. Some brainbusting pro wrestling action: Super Fire Pro Wrestling Special, Fire Pro Wrestling D, Atsushi Onita FMW, and Virtual Pro Wrestling 2.  Some brainbusting puzzlers: Super Bomberman Panic Bomber World, Guru Logic Champ, Puyo Puyo Tsuu and Puyo Puyo Sun.  And some other misc. stuff: Shigesato Itoi's No. 1 Bass Fishing, Yoshi's Safari, Rhythm Tengoku, Congo's Caper, Aero Fighters, and a Super Game Boy

You guys got your Rakuten stuff already? They haven't even charged me yet. I made my order May 14th. Everything from Surugaya. May 16th, added a few more things, also from Surugaya. May 21st, Surugaya asked me if the order was correct and if I wanted to go through with it. I said yes, and to combine it with my other order from them. They asked what the two order numbers were (how they could not find this on their own is beyond me) and I supplied them with it. May 27th, they replied "We will combine the order. Thank you". How in the unholy hell can an order from May 16th still not be shipped yet?  There's no way in hell these savings are better than just going to eBay. Of 5 orders on Rakuten in my life, I've successfully received 1.

Perhaps, but I've been getting PM's from people about the lack of new signups for 3 weeks now. I just assumed that anyone that wanted to have signed up would have done so in the last month. I last posted about it 4 weeks ago when I was doing a roundup of names. The same thing happened last time when I let it run it's course. People forget poo poo, it happens. Like I said, if someone drops out I can try and sort out something. EDIT : I've figured out a way to add latecomers. Please PM/POST your information in the next 6 hours for addition to the draw.

RGGE:Summer Games Summer 2013 2. Will you ship international? I can if necessary but would much rather spend my moolah on actual stuff vs shipping. 3. A list of your consoles NES, SNES, 64, GC, Wii, GB/GBC/GBA/DS, Virtual Boy, Sega Master System, Genesis, Sega CD, 32x, Dreamcast, Game Gear, Xbox, Coco2, PSx, PS2. 4. Favorite genres of game - Side scrolling shootem up (ex Final Fight, Double Dragon, Sonic Blast Man) - Horizontal and Vertical Shooters (ex Gradius and Legendary Wings - Games that are super fun that shouldn't be (ex Family Feud or A Boy and His Blob) 5. Any specific requests. It's worth mentioning I am extremely easy going and it's virtually impossible for you to get me something I won't like. I could post a big honkin list of what I have or want, but this should be doable. Let me know if you need any more specifics: - Any Karoke discs so I can use my JVC X'Eye to its full potential - NES Zapper games I don't have (Baby Boomer, Chiller, Robocop 2, Lone Ranger, Day Dreamin' Davey - Sega 32x games: Star Trek Starfleet Academy, BC Racers, Spider-Man Web of Fire - a GBA flash cart - Waterworld on VB 6. You may include an optional "do not send" list. Don't want 5 EA titles showing up in the mail? Say so. The only sports games I'm really into that I don't have are bowling and golf games, and even then I've got almost all of those I could ever want/need. I also don't need anymore cool gaming apparel unless you've got a dope Metal Man tie or something. I'd prefer not to get any loose discs but hey beggars can't be choosers. ---- I will be home in about 5.5 hours and only getting seconds here and there to update this, but I will get this post updated/current before the 6 hour deadline no matter what
