Hey guys, joining in on the Dreamcast Love-in. Everyone's gone over why the dreamcast is so great, so this time I'm focusing on Skies of Arcadia with a Video Review, Showing off my Dreamcast Collection, and some awesome Virtual On Figures!!!

Those who know me knoww that I absolutely LOVE the dreamcast (who doesn't!). And my favorite game ever came out on the dreamcast (actually it's the reason I bought my first dreamcast), Skies of Arcadia! I haven't done a video in a while and my editing/movie making skills were less then stellar then before but I'm extremely pretty happy with how it came out. This one is much longer and took a lot longer to make then my other.

I just want everyone to know how much I HATED playing skies on the emulator :| It's terrible, there's random slowdowns. Sometimes the menu slow down sometimes they don't, clouds all have pixels at the end, the effects are messed up. For some reason the font is different. It also runs a little bit faster... I suffered!!! SUFFERAGE!! Ah well ;p

Without further ado here's it is!

For some reason the embed is not working so I have to give you links sorry :( Keeps saying "Assertion Failed: bad pk"

Hopefully this will get at least one person to try the game! I tried real hard to avoid spoilers so someone new could get into it without anything being ruined for them!



Ah my dreamcast collection! I've posted bits and pieces of it, but never updated the entire collection of dreamcast systems and games that I have. So here it is! The pictures of the actual DC systems are the older ones, just collating it all. I'll start off with those.

The good old plain white/grey one is a great place to start! I have 2 of these, 1 sitting under my TV and 1 as a backup.


The Sega Sports one, wish we got a just all black one instead :(


The first of the non-official shells. This is my least favorite one, I replaced the shell once but it didn't turn out well.


One of the 3rd party clear shells, 1 of 3 that I have, my least favorite of the 3 but still very awesome.


The "smoke" clear one, my 2nd favorite (very close favorite) It's real nice, need to change the led to a white one though.


The Lime green one, my favorite clear color shell, it's just too damn sexy not to love.



My Favorite Dreamcast, look below for the reasoning :P





The first of my 2 Skies of Arcadia Themed Dreamcasts, I like it quite a bit.


The second of my SoA DCs, I'm not really happy about this one and it will be replaced/fixed soon (I hope :P)


But one really good thing that did come out of the second SoA DC was the controllers.

Picture is old as I said, They have boards in them now. They're moonstones falling off the moons (from Skies of Arcadia of course :P)

I also have a DC Arcade Stick and about 15 other controllers, from grey to black and the clear colored ones but I didn't really think they were worth taking a picture of.

Here is my meager DC collection, not quite as beefed out as some other portions of my game collection but don't worry, it's getting there steadily.


Edit: I forgot to add my latest and favorite Skies related possession! My Custom Skies of Arcadia Flag




Next (and last) are the 3 Virtual On: Oratorio Tangram figures I have. I had just 1 for the longest time, but recently acquired 2 more.

The original Temjin, with a replacement head.


The new Temjin, which came in ridiculously huge packaging.



And my Cypher


And don't worry, they're all over the dreamcast spirit.


A shot of all 3 (the one sitting up top is not a virtual on figure, he just snuck in the picture ;p)


That's all folks! Thanks for reading and HAPPY DREAMCAST NA RELEASE 10th BIRTHDAY WOO!!

Note: Any constructive criticisms about the video would be awesome, just note that that's about the best of my ability to edit :( So that's it for now! Please be gentle, even if it's not my first time :P
