The Brag n' Boast Thread

I've seen a torrent for 99% of PCE CD games, comes in at 129GB.

Uh..... okay.

[meka]

I was referring to where he probably got those pc engine games.

That conversation happened 20 pages ago.

Maybe buy the wife a lil something something  

Oh, I do... just a few weeks ago, she really wanted a Kindle Fire. So that night she ordered one online. Last week she decided she wanted her hair dyed blonde, so she made an appointment at the hairdresser that weekend. I can't complain after all, as I just purchased a PC-FX lot and a 2nd TV for my game room. It works both ways.

Very nice setups overall. Are you gonna mod the Vette any?

Eventually. I'm going to wait til the dragstrips close for the season before I begin throwing parts at it. Right now alls it has is a Borla X-pipe, which I doubt adds much in the power department (maybe 5hp TOPS). I just installed it for a more throatier sound compared to the stock H-pipe. I want to get a good baseline, and I'll have to wait a few months for the cooler, denser air come late Oct - early Dec to truly find the cars max performance (so far, its gone 12.9 at 110mph in the 85+ degree summer heat). After that, I'll probably do the usual boltons... Vararam, LS6 intake, ported TB, short throw shifter, XS Power LTs, and a Z06 Ti catback. Until then, though, I can focus more time/money on the NEC stuff!

Ah, I see an expensive brand of Brake Parts Cleaner, the good stuff! Somebody's been doing some brake work I take it, change your brake pads recently or ?

Not on the Vette, but on my 98' Camaro Z28 I just swapped to PowerStop ceramic pads and drilled/slotted rotors at all 4 corners. I always use the green can CRC brakekleen... its awesome stuff! Heres a few photos of the car/install:

Lol, you are keeping two big expensive cars alive, but when it comes to a 200 buck game, you cant afford it?

[tpivette]

Its, not that I can't afford it... but the wife just can't see paying that much for a video game. I kinda agree with her on that idea, too. Some games are just valued/priced in a range where I just don't think its worth it to shell out that kind of money, when other games are availible that are much cheaper and almost as fun. I mean, come on... Zenki costs as much as I paid for my entire PC-FX system plus 23 games! Maybe one day I'll have Zenki and Zeroigar, but probably not til I've sampled all the other, cheaper titles first.

BTW, Camaros are pretty cheap  

[Tatsujin]

yeah, but your PC-FX haul also was an ubersteal, and doesn't count as a general reference

and who the hell needs two fast cars in one household?

[tpivette]

and who the hell needs two fast cars in one household?

Haha, its all relative to the person who owns them. Its like someone whos not into video games coming into your gameroom and saying "who the hell needs that many NEC systems?"

In all honesty, though, the Camaro is currently for sale. It's what I had before buying the Vette and just stuck around a little longer than I planned

[roflmao]

Well I spent a good portion of today reorganizing my living room setup so I thought I'd show a couple pics:





I've always noticed a slight lag in my 8 and 16-bit consoles and realized if run them through the TV *then* to the receiver, the lag disappears.  Granted, I don't get the nice up-scaling the receiver provides, but I sit so far back it really doesn't make any difference.

Still, a lot of my obeying is done in my bedroom on a 27" JVC Tube TV, but it's nice to be able to finally play while sitting on my couch and listening though a decent sound system.

Looks nice and not too cluttered.  Not like mine, but I'm working on it...

[Nando]

those upright cabinets at the ends are cool, where did you get those?

[reno5]

I curently have 2 game rooms. 1 is in my office (16 x 12 room) with all my "old school" system from NES to Saturn. All this on a 23 inch LED HD-TV.

The other one is my home theater one with PSX, PS2, X360 and Wii. A 22 x 12 room in the baseman with a 50 inch plasma TV.

Having no wife make's it easy to use all the spare room i want and being only 2 in a 3300 sqft house, it is easy to find some . Only thing stopping me is the $$$. Need to keep some for other hobby like my 2004 BMW 325 CL convertible + SMG and Sport Package.
