I'd love to try a CD-I outof pure curiosity but they are pretty expensive. I've never seen one in the wild. I want to pick up a Panasonic 3DO if only because it is physically such a good looking console despite it being shit. They are pretty cheap so one of these days.

I hadn't heard of it either; found it while checking out retroachievements. Never had a 32x or CD. Did have a Saturn but only got it late in its cycle and really only to play Shining Force 3. Jaguar? Ouch. I'd love to play one, but tjeh are surprisingly really expensive these days.

Played through this obscure survival horror game released late in the Saturn's life. Released in Europe and Japan but oddly, no NA release. Its basically Resident Evil but in an underwater science facility. The main gimmick is that you can run out of air but air supply stations are so...

A big reason I wanted this was because I rented one at Blockbuster back when they were heavily promoting it. The one I posted back in January had Mario Tennis, which was the pack-in that came with the system. But, because the lens was busted on that one, I had to return that with it...

Picked up a Virtual Boy earlier in the year thst unfortunately didn't work. Found this one with fully replaced parts inside and it works like a dream. Its not a 'fun' system so to speak, but there is something fascinating about it and the complete failure of it at launch. A fun curiosity to...

Dragon Force. Shining Force 1-3, Panzer Dragoon Saga, Nights into Dreams Chrono Trigger is nearly perfect, so I'm afraid they'd fuck it up some how.

Yeah they did - Lunar was a blast and I have so much nostalgia for WD's quirky ass translations and voice acting. Like Atlus today, back then, if was Working Designs, odds are I'd like it.

Oh, most definitely. That's all I use my Steam Deck for; got through Panzer Dragoon Saga, Burning Rangers, and Magic Knight Rayearth in the last year. There is not a chance in hell I'm spending the $1000+ for the "holy grail" Saturn games, but I had Shining Force 3 and Dragon Force when I was a...

After snagging this, my collection from when I was 15 is complete for the Saturn. Gonna be taking a breather scouring for Saturn games - it's a rabbit hole and it will bankrupt me, lol

Majuular's videos are amazing. Early Ultima was before my time but I still found his retrospectives fascinating. I'm very curious to see how he'll tackle Ultima Online once he gets there.

Since people have enjoyed some of the retro stuff, here's my latest pickups. Got Shining Force 3 for a pretty reasonable price. Gemfire was a favorite as a kid and found it CIB and had to get it, no hesitation.

I use a Retroid Pocket 4+ and I'm more than happy with it. Plays anything Dreamcast and under flawlessly. It can apparently do PS2 and GC but I'm a retroachievements whore and the android emulators for those don't have RA support so I don't use them; I use the Steam Deck for those.

Yeah, there was plenty of shit on CD and 32x. I had a Genesis as a kid but sold it decades ago and would like to build that collection up again at some point. CD would just be a fun curiosity to have and maybe somewhere down the line get some of the actual legitimately good games like Shining...

I occasionally check out retro stores if I'm near one and have never seen a Neo-Geo, let alone a Virtual Boy, in the wild, so it seemed like pure luck at this particular place They also had a Turbo Duo, 3do, and Genesis/Sega CD combo that I was tempted to do as it is much easier to collect for...

Turns out the Virtual Boy I bought had a malfunctioning lens. Read up and it's a common problem as it uses a ribbon cable with glue and eventually comes undone after time. It can be soldered back on but I honestly have never soldered anything before so I returned it and more-or-less exchanged...

A couple other retro pickups. No cables for the famicom yet. Came with half of the disk system so that black part is kind of pointless right now. Nights is one of my favorite games of all time and needed it CIB so there we are.

That 3rd episode was legitimately one of the worst episodes of television I have ever seen. It makes Season 8 of GoT look like fucking Breaking Bad.

Saw this at a retro store complete in box and thought, what the hell Don't mind the dirty ass table, I have a 1 year old.

Masayoshi Soken and FFXIV's music is phenomenal. So many good tracks across that game.

What I wouldn't do for CvS3

A10 gold for the license test took me 100+ tries. I am not good at this.

I really like the Yakuza games, especially LaD, but I simply don't have the time, let alone the patience, for the amount of cutscenes in Yakuza 7. The characters and story are all great but with the minimal time I get to play games during the week, I'd rather play than watch. Not a knock...

Aloy now looks like Jerry O'Connell from Stand By Me.

I'll going to buy the shit out of this, but I'm still salty as fuck that this isn't turn-based.

DQ11 is great, but if I have one complaint, it's the fucking music. I know it is out of SE's hands being unable to use the orchestral versions, but that MIDI screeching of the neverending overworld theme drives me mad. Can't do anything about it because I have it on PS4. Been getting through...

Smartphones/Mobile gaming should never have happened.

Yeah, launch Rift was great. Pretty cookie-cutter in the WoW sense, but I really liked the world and class system. Plus, the music in the the main city for the 'good guys' was fantastic. Don't remember the name of the city though. I assume some of the other Trion properties are going to...

It's going to be the MSQ that's the hurdle, especially the 2.0+ stuff leading up to Heavensward. That stretch is brutal. I found the MSQ stuff for Heavensward and Stormblood pretty decent.

Aaaaand not going to see this in theaters now.

Yeah, this movie can fuck right off.

Man, haven't played here in a while. Got a new PC and the thought of remembering how to set up MQ2 with macros and all that is really daunting Got up to needing to kill Tunare and for whatever reason, that encounter would make my 3box DC. It always happened randomly, but I could never get her...

Don't remember name, but one of the ninjutsus allows you to use trick attack out of stealth

Wife bought this a little while back and I got around to watching it. It seemed pretty generic? I didn't actively dislike it, but it felt it to be of the caliber of the entry origin stories like the first Thor or Captain America. Enjoyable, but not "holy shit, that was transcendent".

I'll watch anything he puts out - and this cast seems really interesting. I've enjoyed all of his films, but Hateful 8 was probably the most disappointing. I didn't dislike it, but I didn't feel 'satisfied' like I did with his others. Maybe I need to watch it again.

Hahaha, I was off by like a mile. I totally remember the name of those guilds. Man, that's been a while.

I remember that rotation. I was a part of a small guild that was in an alliance of maybe 3-4 guilds that took a part of that. I don't remember the name of the guild that broke it up, but man, I'm struggling to come up with some of the higher end guilds from that server. There was Maximum...

That wasn't very good, at all. Something feels off, but that was really kind of tedious.

Yeah, it looks wonderful, plays amazing, but shortly after hitting max at release my interest evaporated. This is largely in part due to how terrible max level + was at launch, but after that debacle, I'm not shelling out any more money on Destiny. It's a shame, because the gunplay is so crisp.

Got Yakuza 0 earlier this week. First Yakuza game I've played and so far its great. I love the blend between the over-the-top absurdity and seriousness.

Good ol Illusion of Gaia That poor pig :(
