teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[ceti alpha]

yuna is teh hotty!!

Yeah, if I were a video game character, I'd nail her.  I don't care if she beats my ass afterwards.  It would be worth it.

and then I can move on to another game!  Like CAL.  Theres hotties afoot all over the Super CD-Rom world.

Yes, yes there are.

I bought a XRGB2 for about $250 but I used a ebay 10% coupon, so only $225. I guess that's good deal. With it I'm going to consolidate all my gaming to a single monitor, my 19" LCD Samsung SyncMaster 953BW. The best part about this XRGB2 is that the seller modified it to accept euro-scart which are easier & cheaper to find than the japanese counterpart. My Sony MSX2+, Saturn, and PS2 are played through scart cables, except for my Nes its using composite video (of course). The MSX, Saturn, and Nes games look great especially with the fake scanlines. The only problem I had was with a couple PS2 games like Mushihimesama and FFXII. I tend to get alot of green/grey lines which was very irritating, but I managed to fix most of it by tinkering with setting on my monitor & XRGB2. PS2 doesn't look as good looking on a CRT but the picture quality is fair enough.

I can't believe I totally forgot about these, the Capsule Shooting Watch by Yujin. I got these several months ago on ebay, iirc just under $5 each. They're inspired by the original Hudson shooting watch made famous by Takahashi Meijin. It can tells time and measures how fast you can press a button in 10 seconds. My record is 115 in 10 seconds with a single button, no where close to Takahashi. There's 5 watches in all with designs from Adventure Island, Bomberman, and famicom. I have the other two, the original Hudson design and Star Soldier. Now if I can just find the bomberman I'll be satisfied.

wow, I have never seen these before.  I assumed when you first called it a shooting watch, the idea was to "shoot" other people's shooting watches with your own.  still a pretty cool little thing.

you have to push the trigger (button) as mich time you can within 10 seconds. started right after the first hit.


takahashi meijin got famous for his 16 hits/sec. record back in times. here he's reaching only 13/sec. few years back in an interview.

here he tries it with a water melon^^

here is his 16 shot blog: http://www.16shot.jp/blog/

I know they're cheap, but they're gimmicky remakes with very cool labels. I can't resist them.

[Tatsujin]

yeah..i love 'em too, especially the original and famicon designed ones, just way too cute
