Hey again ;p got another video look-back, this time on metal Fatigue ;p
But first what I got for my collection since last blog! Well only one thing that was really VGR despite how awesome the rest of it was, and just gonna throw that away for later down the line. The one thing I got was suitably awesome anyway ;p
My 9th Dreamcast!!! WOOOOO
It's so purdy ;p It's a bit lighter blue the camera just made it darker for some reason.
The gist of it is that the digital clock and the analog clock is showing 2 different times.
Thought that was pretty funny to use in a promotional picture ;p But then I noticed the clock actually is pointing at 2:47... except they switched the hands. Hell of a way to screw up a promotional picture :P
If you've read my previous blogs you'll know that I first post what I've acquired since my last blog and then a video look-back. Exciting I know :P Not gonna have much to add to my collection since I did a blog last friday :( I'm doing it early for a special reason.
And you know that reason reaprar so you best deliver on your promises :P
Well without further ado, the meager additions to my collection:
Aladdin: complete and mint and all that good stuff.
Bubsy: Box is a bit worn on the front corners but still very good.
Jungle Strike: Was shiny new-sealed with no damage, obviously not sealed anymore :P
Vectorman: Box is a tiny bit crushed on the top but within my standards (barely ;p)
Sonic 2: Minty boxed complete all that good shit, the only sonic I didn't have boxed on the geni.
Vectorman 2: Was new and sealed, not sealed anymore :P
And now for the video look back! For some reason it looks craptacular on normal quality so I recommend clicking through and pressing the "high" quality button on the bottom right of the video!
Hope you enjoyed it and feel like givin the game a crack now ;p
Also please I'm lookin for some constructive criticism for my "style" or lack-there-of for video look backs. So please if you have any don't hesitate to comment it, and thanks.
But first of course, all the stuff that I got since my last blog!

Next up!
o_0 Ya I was in line buying books for my class and I saw these, and I was like that's awesome, cause they're pirate mints. I bought them just cause they were pirate mints and expected them to taste like crap. THEY WERE FUCKIGN AWESOME, went back the next day bought 3 more tins and ate all of em the same day. They're just too good! No minty flavor FYI, kinda sweet. Dunno about the grog flavored ;p Price: $1.55

And last, but not at all least. Some fused pearler bead (or whatever the shits called) from pendelton21.
Thats the logo for the phoenix alliance, my old eve alliance ;p *sniff* RIP PA, YOU DIED WITH THE GNW, that shit with atuk was shameful. I do miss the gnw though :P Looks great perched atop my 2 eve posters!
Pendelton makes em, he's got a store or some shit and does custom work and all that good stuff. Should definitely hit him up for one, they're very fairly priced, quickly done, and include shipping! Could you ask for more?! Yeah you could
They even come in a custom dtoid shipping envelope.
Now no more :P
Well here's his profile, go get some of his bead shit they're hot.
been a bit since my last blog but whatever ;p Haven't got a lot since then but here it all is!
System Shock 2 - $45 shipped. Been wanting this for a while, I no I overpaid for it by like 20 bucks but it was for a very special reason :P
Sword of the Stars - A 4x rts game ;p It's alright
Universe at War - Also an alright rts, but at the low low price I couldn't pass, also I'm sucker for sci-fi rts :P
Space Quest Collection - Cause space quest is awesome
Farcry - I have farcry already but no jewel case which pissed me off to no end so I got it again :|
Total for all 4 - $29 shipped.
Well I no look-back video this time ;p Had another idea that came to me and decided to do that instead! And despite being 3 minutes long it took me a lot longer to make :|
What not to do when your 2forting.
Well that's it! Enjoy! ;p No Tripping the Rift because apparently not a single person is downloading it so what's the point :P
Ya so did another video look-back, or "retrospective" whatever the fuck you wanna call it :|
Couple things that I said that are wrong/I want to clarify :|
When I say "hard" i mean "you will die a lot." I have no doubt that everyone but the most shittiest of gamers will have any trouble with finishing the game, or get frustrated or anything, but you will die many many times and you'll learn to use the quick save and quick load a lot ^^ The on-foot missions seem to be harder then the mech missions, but only because armor and health (bar the critical hits) seem a lot more rare.
I also said that old-school fps weren't bloody. I don't know why I said that, they're bloody as shit and it's just wrong. Maybe I mean't newer fps? I don't know :| But ya that's wrong.
Also I said "circle strafing" a lot in the video, it's really just strafing and only vaguely reminiscent of a circle ;p Well without further ado.
Haven't received anything new since the last blog (being the weekend and all) So here's episode 4 of tripping the rift!!
