teh "what did you buy today"-thread

Nice haul there, overrride!

Jerrypuss, I agree about what causes the iPods to sound like crap.  But with my awesome as hizzel studio headPh0nze and direct uncompressed sound files, the iPods still sound much worse than, say, my portable MiniDisc recorders..  That amp looks to fix that.  However if you want to be cool you'll have to use a tube-style amplifier.

Good old Recycle Store had a nice Virtual Boy for $30.  Most of the games were only $5 too.  Yay for failed systems!

Nice find there SuperDeadite. I'll send you some Advil for them headaches you'll inevitably get.

The day finally came. My copy of Dracula X Super CD-ROM2 is here. I haven't played it yet, but I will when I get home from work tonight. I am SO stoked, I have been waiting TEN years to play this game.

Thanks for the nice words!

SuperDeadite im jealous thats kickass! and a really good price and great condition!

I remember when that system came out and me and my chick friend (it was her system) went to the school park and layed out in the grass and took turns playing one weekend some shooting game that resembles starfox ships! AHHH the memories!

Would that be Red Alarm?

Anyway, I have Road Rash and Gunstar Heroes for Genesis on the way.

$30 for the Virtual Boy, $5 for the games, $10,000 for the Vicodin addiction you will soon develop.

Very nice V.B. collection haul, SuperDeadite.  I'm kinda jealous. 

[Grandmaster]

i got 3 N64 carts - Chameleon Twist, Mischief Makers and Turok.. happy about those 

but i'm really happy about this little gem. it gets mixed opinions from people, but i think it's very fun!

[SuperDeadite]

Actually I haven't gotten any headaches from the VB yet.  I take a 2 minute break when the system auto-pauses, and that's been enough so far.  I played Mario Tennis for several hours last night.  It's quite imersive if you play in complete darkness on your back.  Red Alarm is quite good, I also really like Innsomouth no Yakata.  Japan only FPS based on the H.P. Lovecraft story. It's very simple, but it's really fast and smooth as monsters bust out of walls in 3D.  Good stuff. 

[Tatsujin]

vertical force was my fav back when i had the system. it's a good soldier sequel in fact the best post PCE..LOL

[guyjin]

I take a 2 minute break when the system auto-pauses,

it auto pauses?  how often?

[Tatsujin]

  how often?

like all 15 mins or so iirc.

[SuperDeadite]

Auto-pause depends on the game.  Some do it by time (every 15 minutes or so).  Other games do it at set points.  Vertical Force auto-pauses between every stage.  You can disable the auto-pause feature also.  Yeah Vertical Force is fun, very "soldier-ish" and a one of the best VB games.  It really makes me want to try Blade Eagle on SMS, as they both have the same 2-plane gimmick.

  Don't play the system after a few beers. Teleroboxer is way fun but if your not careful  .....
