Off The Wall / Re: Latest Buys

« on: December 05, 2012, 06:36:30 PM »

I went to Costsco with my older brother and we got bacon, chips, and some other groceries. My brother bought the Back to the Future Trilogy on Blu-ray, and I finally solved the AA battery problems concerning my Wii remote (and pretty much every house hold appliance) by finding the batteries I'm looking for unlike those troopers looking for a certain pair of droids. I know, that crack was in bad taste. I bought a 10-pack of Sanyo Eneloop AA batteries and the charger for it (the Costsco we went to didn't have the pack I was looking for, but I may as well take what I can get for a good 4 or so years).

-EDIT-
Forgot to mention I picked an Italian sandwich and chicken bake over there, too...

Finally got Scott Pilgrim since it's on sale for everyone on Xbox Live (why can't they have sales like this for people without freaking gold membership?) and the Knives Chau DLC. Sucks I won't be able to get the Wallace DLC whenever it arrives since I'm 40 MSP shy of 400.

I think he found RPM through Xbox live, ruri. Thankfully I don't have to put up with batshit crazy drivers in NYC, things are already hellish enough on the road here.

Also, how many people enjoyed their turkey coma?

Wrong. I've been following the site for sometime before getting my Xbox 360 and joining the forums.

-EDIT-
Ack. Ninja'd by Vixy.

-EDIT 2-

He found RPM and friends way before that. I think he means the game offerings in the Indie and Live Arcade marketplaces that are awesome enough to be thankful for. Because games are spread in all kinds of services like XBL, PSN and Steam, one place is more unique than the others. ^^;

I meant by some of the people I've met on Xbox LIVE randomly or through other forums (like GameFAQs and DoujinStyle), but the games they have on there is pretty sweet too.

-EDIT-
There's a Black Friday sale on Xbox LIVE available for everybody (including us poor folks that can't afford gold membership). I went got SVC: Streets of Rage (even though I have Streets of Rage Remake on PC but I to get better at my own pace), but no more buying on impluse for me until the Model2 Collection arrives.

« on: November 18, 2012, 08:56:47 PM »

I was able to help you with a couple of SnR matches if I'm not mistaken. ^^;

When I'm finished with a game I usually just head over to another one.

True, but what of those times I justed have fun with some other games that I tried asking for just for the sake of having fun, you know? And it's not people like me can get good at shooters like you are. Even though I've 100% some my games' Achievements like Bayonetta, Virtual-ON OT, Sonic CD, and Guardian Heroes I won't ignore them afterwards. Now with my Gold membership, I'll have deal with being not able to any games with anybody, let alone talk with anybody on voice-chat. Sorry if this comes off in the wrong way...

Also, I really like new avatar.

Posted on: November 17, 2012, 11:15:07 PMVirtua Fighter 2, Fighting Vipers, and Sonic the Fighters will hit PSN and XBLA sometime by November 28th for $10 $5!

Off The Wall / Re: Latest Buys

« on: November 18, 2012, 12:28:02 AM »

Bought:
- Splatterhouse (2010) for Xbox 360 (new, $19.99)
- House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return (pre-owned, $17.99 w/o the case unfortunately the disc is mint condition)
- 1,600 MS Points Card
- 2,000 Wii Points Card
- Angry Birds gummies, from Hot Topic
- and Legend of Zelda mints, also from Hot Topic

Sold:
- My brother's Call of Duty: Black Ops since he plays Battlefield 3 on PC

Yeah, I'm having a bloody good time with Splatterhouse (2010) (yes, pun intended). Thank you, Happy Video Game Nerd! And just a heads up for anyone planning on getting this remake:

L-Trigger + mash B = Blood Siphon (consumes 1 meter, heals you right up)
R-Bumper = Guard/Dodge

The tutorial in the game sucks.

Now I just need some rechargable Eneloop AA-batteries and a Nyko Perfect-Shot for Wii and I'm all set for near-arcade House of the Dead shooting action!

« on: November 18, 2012, 12:05:34 AM »

why did you waste money on that?

One of two reasons I hate Live, you have to [tornado fang]ing pay for it. (The other reason is that even paying for it, you still get [tornado fang]ing adverts.)

Already sounding like my brother, which to me translates into "Why bother getting an Xbox 360?". Yeah, its stupid that they make people suffer through ads after paying the damn fee (which is why I gave them less-than-favorable feedback on Xbox LIVE Rewards), but its the only to get XBLA games discounted -- when they actually put games worth buying -- rather than wait a year or so for its price to go down. Plus since Microsoft got a working rewards program, I managed to get MS Points just by using the "allegedly" free apps like YouTube and Crackle (yeah it's pocket change for the most part, but at least I got use to the money for Xbox LIVE Indie Games like Protect Me Knight).

Back on topic, while I suffer through the lonesome not being able to play online with my Xbox (especially for Senko no Ronde with only 4 people I know that plays it other than Vixy when she's not busy amassing Achievements, is normally all the time -- no offense), I finally got La-Mulana on WiiWare, and so far its pretty good. (Other games I got today non-downloadables I got are Splatterhouse Remake and House of the 2 & 3 Returns.)

Spiritia: "But I searched for you, prayed that I'll find you, but I found nothing..."
Freudia: "That is most unfortunate... I hid myself while recovering my strength. I waited as I healed. Well, this has been an emotional reunion for both of us... but we must face the Black Cross."
Spiritia: "If the Magi are eradicated, then humanity -- no, the world would face a crisis."

Off The Wall / I've had a horrible week, thanks to a blackout

« on: November 06, 2012, 08:23:57 PM »

(click to show/hide)

Thanks to Hurricane Sandy for pulling a loose wire on the electrical poles around my neighborhood, I had to suffer a week of no electricity, no internet, no use of the house phones (cell phones are all we had to contact the idiots at PSE&G) the food in my family's house going bad thanks to the refrigerators going out, and we had to be left out in the dark for an entire week. What was worse were the damn idiots of PSE&G not coming sooner to re-attach the wire that supplied my neighborhoods' houses because they were so frickin' busy taking care of the other things first that took a hell of a lot of time to do compared just sending someone just to fix a simple wiring problem. Thanks to that, my family had to suffer with our food going bad and the cold, dark nights for since near the end of October. What's worse still is that my parents found some of these idiots and their trucks while inspecting the other house that I'm moving, they tried to tell them know that we've been without power for a long time and they got the nerve laugh in their faces about it. What a bunch of assholes! Why do we even pay these people for electricity if they can people that needed the most?! I get that there are people that needs service more that we do, but by NOT giving back our power for a damn week, WE become the needy because our food spoiled over the course of time of sending everyone one of the half-brained employees to fix a simple problem that became a huge problem in the long run.

The TL;DR version: I was (socially) blacked-out for a week, thanks to a hurricane that was on her period, PSE&G for being incompetent morons to fix a simple wiring problem, and this suffering went on for an entire week.

Link to buy this game or to download trial version.
Capcom: Three cancelled games. Fans: two released awesome games. Now we need MM Unlimited and MMX: Corrupted to be released to сompensate Capcom's cancelled games.

Other than RKS and Mega Mari, there's also Touhou Koukayaku: The Game (a Touhou: Unidentified Fantastic Object classic MM fangame by Peposoft packaged with a Touhou doujin album by Conagusuri), GIGADEEP (a free but somewhat buggy MMX parody, also from the makers of Koukayaku: The Game), Ragna Chronicles (a MMX-styled Ragnarok Battle Offline doujin game), and the unfortunately D&C'd Rockmen R: Dr. Wily's Counterattack (a fan-sequel to MM9 staring Roll). If I recall correctly, there's another Touhou-meets-Mega Man doujin game called "TAKOMAN" or something, but nonetheless fans and indie devs are putting Capcom to shame.

Really hope there'll be a store that will stock up on physical copies of RKSF and can ship internationally for anyone wanting to hold the game in the palms of their hands.
