Convince me to buy Dead Space
LongDeth | 8:31 PM on 10.15.2008 36 comments


My girlfriend recently broke up with me. I won't go into details, you guys don't care about that. The point is, I was really depressed for awhile, still am really, but then I realized: I can drink booze and play games for awhile and just bury it deep inside! Thats the American way people.

Everything I really want isnt out yet, and Im off on the weekends. So I need something for this weekend, and the only thing really there is Dead Space. I think the game looks cool but I wouldnt trust EA to put out a flaming orphanage if it meant delaying Madden. Point is, Im scared for one thing of a rushed game. Secondly Im afraid of it looking too good. I trust the community here much more than I trust the "reviews" anywhere else.

Convince me on Dead Space or point me in a better direction is what Im saying.

Bad glithces make me stop playing games.

I am a huge Ninja Gaiden fan. I love the first two NES games, and the Xbox game to me is one of my top 10 favorites. So obviously I waited very impatiently for Ninja Gaiden 2. Thanks to at least 5 different glitches, I stopped playing the game on chapter 8. Why does this happen and how does it pass Microsoft certification?

2 times I beat the boss of Chapter 4, and he dissapeared and then the game just stayed that way. The game would not advance. And then fighting the worm mini boss on I believe Chapter 8, the boss dissapears before I have finished killing it. This is especially annoying, since the check point for this boss is something like 20 minutes before fighting it, in a GREEN cave that looks exactly the same no matter where you are. What happened to Team Ninja?

Capcom fighter collection Part 1 Pics (Disc only)
LongDeth | 10:03 PM on 04.14.2008 20 comments


Well, I'm effing bored as hell and I can't sleep. So I figured I'd throw up some of my Capcom fighting game stuff, all the disc games at least. I'll get around to the carts and cards and such at some point. I think.

After the weekend I'll get some pictures of the rest. I havent taken any of my Dark Stalkers games or any of the SNES, Genesis, etc. stuff.

Can you tell Im bored?

PS- Add me to XBL for some SSF2T matches in the future.


X-Box 1 and PS2 SF Controlllers, the only way to roll. (At least until the 360 came out and gimped the controller options.)


This is a decent portion of the stuff I have from the last 2 generations, minus some imports and other things.

My game room set up

I had my girlfriend take these pictures last night. You may notice a calendar I have neglected to turn the page of since February, I always forget its there.
I dont have a lot of my older stuff hooked up because I dont play a lot of them, but I'll take pictures of those at some point.
Also, Im having a problem with image sizes, so any of the pics you click on below may not work.


Someone can probably guess what movie that is... I love Hitachi TV's. Theres a small stereo (not surround sound) system on the sides of the tv stand. The bass is fantastic, but I still need a surround system.

I got the Magic Sword cabinet for 20 bucks from a Laundromat who thought it was broken. Turned out all it needed was a new fuse.

Im building a tower of NES's. At the top of the brown shelf is an FC Twin which plays NES and SNES games. (But only uses SNES accesories.)

Mario Kart phones are great. Mind the wires.

This coffee table lifts up and down for controller storage.

Alot of my stuff is still in storage, and I need two more shelves to display them.

I went on a crazy Halo kick for a bit.
