Looks funny but those games stand and fall with the editor, I never play as any existing athletes :)

well to be honest the only wrestling game i used to play i used the editor to try to recreate thesse wrestlers and of course the inmortal santo

Ah, even I know Santo :)

I don´t know, those guys in SVR2010...people like Cena for example. I...kinda know he´s a bigshot and everything, but he and so many other guys there are just faceless somehow, they don´t emit that goofy charisma the old guys had.

I read up on the last ten years or so yesterday so I know that´s what they were going for apparently. A darker, grittier kind of wrestling, but I don´t really like it, so I built myself with shark-teeth and now I beat those people up in the game which is awesome as always :)

Also, I´m pleased to see that the Undertaker is still around...he´s what, 45? But then again, I heard they´re still bringing out Hogan every now and then...hm.

i guess you can use external hard drives with xbox 360's now. I plugged in a flash drive i had and it seems to work for xbox stuff, i saved some games onto it :O

Evidently, you can also put movies on your flash drive, plug it into your 360, and watch them that way, too. Makes downloading movies seem more appealing than ever!

Playing:

Crystal Castles Atari 1983 Arcade cabinet

Just fixed the track ball on it yesterday. Seems that some jerk kid must of stuck a carnival raffle ticket in their a decade ago. Now it runs smoothly.

Sonic 1, 2, 3, and Knuckles on the DS. Very well suited to it.

Found Nier for a reasonable price this morning...I know next to nothing about it and...well, now I just hope it´s okay :D

Played some of the Donkey Kong Country games today on the Wii. Mostly 2; 1's controls frustrate me for some reason, and I can't quite pinpoint why. I was dying a lot. The second game didn't frustrate me, so I just stuck with that. Plus, it's just way better overall. Didn't try 3, which I actually kinda liked save for that retard Kiddie.

But I remember all of the levels and music by heart, even though I haven't touched those games in over a decade. Felt going to your parents' place after not being there for a long time, and everything's still the same :(

Oh, except I didn't have chicken pox when I was playing 2. So I actually had more fun now.

yea you've been able to watch movies off of one for a while now although it has to be a supported format :O before you couldn't save anything xbox related to it.

That is one seriously well made game.

That's awesome

Okay, so Nier after 9 hours:

Pretty good game actually. Okay, so the graphics suck, we knew that already.
But Gameplay, Story, Characters and especially the music are really nice. I regretted buying Resonance of Fate for 50 bucks, but this one? Not really, it´s very entertaining and has this certain something...

Bioware really knows how to drag out a game. Dragon Age is the only RPG from them that I wish was shorter. Much shorter. Since when did hero of the land become everyones bitch?

Since the very first time SOMEONE had rats in his basement. It´s the fucking rats, I tell you. And if it isn´t rats, it´s spiders. Hate those guys!

Just finished Army of two: 40th day yesterady. Love how the achievement for winning as friends is "TOTAL FISTBUMP DESTRUCTION"

I was iffy about getting the DLC for the additional chapters. Has anyone played through them?

lmao OxBlood

Started up Scribblenauts and it is coooool

Army of Two: 40th Day was pretty awesome with couch co-op. Didn't play the dlc though. Dragon Age had one of the most frustrating end-boss battles I've ever played. Why is there no equivalent of a pheonix down in western rpgs? Fuck.

It wore off waaay too fast for me.

Crystal Castle Arcade cabinet report:

Tried sanding down some of the rust on the trackball rollers yesterday. Looks OK but I forgot to apply some lubricant when I put it back together and it scratched the ball. :( Kinda pissed, gotta have to take it apart again and see if I can spray some WD-40 in there and make it perfect this time.

You got a CC-Cabinet? Not bad :D

Finished Nier today. Really nice game, even though the beginning and ending don´t make much sense yet. Playing through the Kind-of-newgame+ now which starts me in the middle of the game but with new scenes and partial understanding of the Shade-language which in turn changes how you react to them because they are not mindless spirit-beasts anymore, now, that you can more or less understand what they are doing.

Ya, It's kind of a family heirloom. I dragged it up from the basement a few months ago and finally got the chance to open it up and see what I can fix. The first time I cracked it open I found a carnival ticket caught in one of the track ball rollers, second time I sanded down the rust, and HOPEFULLY today I can crack the dam think open for the third and final time and lube up all the rollers. It's such a pain in the ass to do but I want to working perfectly. I'm OCD like that.

I also got a SCI Cabinet and a TX-Sector Pinball machine.

Word to the wise if you or anyone else who reads this is thinking of collecting.

1. You need a lot of space. Right now I have these in my living room and they fit but if I buy anymore I'm going to move the collection to the garage.

2. Buy a game that goes on forever. Games similar to Donkey Kong, Pac-Man, Centipede, Crystal Castles, galaga.....

If you buy a game that only has 6 or 7 levels to it you're going to have a feeling of buyers remorse. Find games that are point / skill based. Level based games only works on consoles.

I was going to get a cabinet for the Golden Axe RODA but the shipping alone was like 1$k
