About Me
Hi, my name is Matt. I'm 24 years old and living in Quebec City, Canada. I'm currently working in QA for Activision. I either want to be a game designer or own my own retro game/otaku store. I'm also a huge fan of RetroForce Go! I think that's about it.

Madagascar Escape 2 Africa

My TOMOPOP blog

Favorite System: SNES
Favorite Games:
Chrono Trigger
Super Mario World
Super Metroid
Final fantasy 3/6
Donkey Kong Country 2

Super Mario 2(USA)
I'll stop there I think, too much to list.

Current Games in progress:
Street Fighter IV
Fate/stay night
Fate/Unlimited Codes
Disgaea DS
I'll stop here too because I have like 50(at least) games in progress but I'm not actively playing them.

Interests:
Not doing my bio on the websites I go, because I hate doing that...

Indie Games
Doujin Games(Japanese Indie games)

More Ikaruga, less money
Xelotath | 12:16 AM on 02.13.2008 4 comments


So, it's been a while since I posted, but this one will be short anyway. Last week while searching for awesome overpriced stuff on ebay I saw it, Ikaruga for the Dreamcast, New and Still sealed. I bid on it but I lost the bid anyway. But I got an email from the seller telling me he had another one and he would sell it to me at the same price I bid the first time, and I bought it. I already own Ikaruga for the DC but it's only the cd so I won't open it. Ikaruga is awesome and just posting this makes me wanna play it, and I will. Thanks for reading a totally useless post of me being happy paying money for something I already have and won't use anyway, haha.

Time for the random video:

(It seems I can't display the youtube vid and only the link show up?)
Just how over the top can soccer/football get? It's from Touhou soccer and if you like it click on the video there is a lot more from different characters on youtube. As for the game itself, it's semi playable without Japanese knowledge but it's a lot of guess work/ memorization. I managed to play it but my game stopped to work. I guess only touhou fans will want to play it anyway.



Is this post awesome? Vote it up!

I've got the same setup, actually. One sealed DC copy that I'll never open, and the GC version chilling in my Wii as we speak.

Same story with Rayman 2, oddly enough. Not necessarily because it's rare (it ain't), but because I fucking worship that game.

Now what are you still doing here? Start playin'!

If you don't like shmups think of it like a puzzle game, a hardcore puzzle game. Everybody should at least try Ikaruga.
