Not even this is safe from resellers nowadays. I've already stopped collecting physical games, but now they want me to own absolutely nothing.

No, not really. If they're selling them then clearly they aren't trashing them. Japan has an entire holistic economy of used goods being recycled and reused, and that includes random junk like posters. They sell them cheaply to allow people to save money because that's the right thing to do... Until they see gaijin faggots buying their shit, then next thing you know they want ¥500k for anything with a familiar character on it (because they know the gaijin will buy it anyway)
This behavior by gaijin, just hoarding up all the used or collectible whatevers, ruins this system of "use gently, sell off cheaply, repeat" by removing thousands of products from the pool just because westerners are greedy reseller fucks or because they're hoarders with no purpose. This is why Hard-Off is more or less dead.
I hate gaijin so much it's unreal

no they literally trashed tons of their arcade machines. their older amusement park machines are also rotting away in suburbans.

I think it’s been too soon to give you a useful answer. Maybe 4 months from now will be the right time. So far, no scratches...I usually take really good care of my handhelds. What I haven’t liked is how easily it gets smudged with fingerprints, even though it has a matte paint.

I still liked Sega cause of the Genesis. So when the time came and I saw Sega was making a new console on was on board immediately. Ended up being able to convince my parents to get a PS2 as well a short time later. Cause it was a DVD player. A lot of kids I knew convinced their parents that way.

I got one on 9/9/99. The Dreamcast had an incredible day one launch lineup in North America due to being released in Japan a year earlier. I still contend that the first beach level of Sonic Adventure is one of the greatest demos of all time.

For one, I think Dark Sun nailed the 'aesthetic' on the levels. Every mage encounter felt like a REH conan story. Dagolar stuck with me just because he disintegrated my main fighter and I thought it was awesome.

>>12601964
Reroll stats until you have 18 dex to have high initiative or cheat using the modify button.. Dex also gives improved AC and ranged weapon accuracy. If your characters act first every turn then you can just hit enemy casters with your bows which prevents them from casting. Spellcasters in the Goldbox games can't cast spells in turns during which they were damaged.

In the latter games Clerics and Knights get the Resurrection spell to make dying a non-issue.

Circle of the Moon is good, at least it is somewhat challenging (unlike SotN)
>>
>>12601248
The first Castlevania I truly enjoyed was Circle of the Moon. I got a GBA at launch and while I would usually buy a Mario game, the GBA Mario looked like a crappy port of part of an SNES game so I went for COTM instead. I really liked the sense of exploration and the RPG mechanics which made the game feel less punishing because I could just grind if anything felt too difficult.

Had the same console since I was six, but couldn't play it for years because the RF connector got fucked up. Then I got into emulation and became something of a Nintendo Snob, but then I found Kega Fusion and the sheer amount of glee I had with those old Sega games made me realize how wrong I was

Got an Everdrive cart for my birthday one year (even took the time to make a personal "favorites" list for it that continues to grow somehow) and I haven't looked back

Do you like games like Castlevania / Ghost'n Goblins style gameplay with stiff committed movement, and gameplay that you must learn pretty much the one way to deal with things?

If yes, Rolling Thunder 2 is for you

3 is okay as well but not as good imo

Eminem was what you're trying to pretend Limp Bizkit was. Angry young white men were listening to rap. Limp Bizkit was for 11 year olds and the odd goofy manchild.

>Gruntyland
I meant Witchyworld.
Also, I'll say that the bigger, more disjointed nature of the world has some positives. Playing it as a kid, everything felt way more mysterious than BK since it didn't lay its worlds bare to you like that game did. Only Gruntey's Lair had some of that feeling in the original.

>>12595521
I liked it, it's fun if you're a kid with practically infinite free time to just aimlessly explore the world and get jiggies at your own pace. Completionists probably hate it for being a "slog" but as a kid it was one of those games where there was always something new to see every time you picked it up and played it.
>>
>>12600242
Even as a kid I felt that it was not as good as BK. I got both games on release, BK at 9yo and BT at 12 yo. Maybe my tastes changed as I grew up. The thing that most bugged me, even back then, was backtracking. The other things were: boring gameplay as split up Banjo and Kazooie (specially solo Banjo) and the uncreative new moves that they added. I still think its a good game, just not as good as BK.

Why do you keep responding to him?

Anyway I am thinking of building an XP machine around a pentium 4.

I have a core 2 system but it's too good to be interesting to use and just feels like running the games on something modern. But should I go with a 478 or 775 P4? Also are the extreme editions worth seeking out?
>>
>>12601952
>Also are the extreme editions worth seeking out?
Probably not unless you want to play Crysis or something. Northwood 478 chips are probably the most beloved of the P4s, running relatively cool with overall better performance than contemporary Athlons for the most part. Avoid Prescotts, they run hot and offer barely any feature or performance advantages over Northwoods. Cedar Mills are the last of the P4s, running cooler than Prescott but not much different otherwise.
>>
Forgot to say, I had a 2.8 GHz Northwood with HT, slightly overclocked to 3.0 GHz, back in the day. It served me quite well. It could handle Half Life 2 nicely, and even Doom 3 didn't run terribly, though I was massively bottlenecked by the 9600 Pro I had at the time lol
>>
I had a 2000 machine with an Athlon 1200 mhz and a Radeon 7200.
I played Call of Duty and NFS U on that, among many other games, which support directx 9.
My friend had a 2001 machine with a P3 or P4 and a Nvidia of the time, he played HL2 with it, which supports way back starting with directx 7 as well.
Criteria applies differently between consoles and PC, you can't just do it that way.
