Happenstance

The damage wasnt too bad. Thats fixable right?

Unfortunately yeah, its in bits now. @S.C.G you still willing to buy it off me for full price? ...It was still in its shipping box and not particularly high off the ground when I dropped it so I expect its fine. I haven't opened it to check yet as its now in the car waiting to go home.

The Panasonic Q arrived at work this morning and I immediately managed to drop it

That’s the weird thing though. I hear that the baby chickens owned by Richards industry is thriving at the moment in the UK.

How's your printer going @Shorty? Managed to sort any of the problems or print anything new?

I can access my console collection easily enough but its all the cables that I've got issues with. They're basically just all shoved into some drawers and its a massive mess. One day I need to take the time to actually get them all out, sort them and label them.

Yeah I was just looking at that. All I can see is a graphics card

I dunno, there's something extra retro about the first one that I quite like.

What doesn't help my retro collection urges is that I work in the IT department at a school and have to walk past this every day:

Oh yeah I get this way every single time I spend a big sum of money on something. I ended up paying £310 for the console and all the games I listed. A lot for an old console but I think with the console itself being rare and it including a copy of Skies of Arcadia Legends it probably works out quite well.

The bitterness and regret is starting to sink in lol

Interesting. Apparently there is some interest from Sega to create a sequel to Yakuza 0 set between 0 and 1 due to 0’s popularity. I would definitely be up for that and going back to the 80s era!

Selling altogether

Odd timing if anyone is following my recent purchase in the retro thread but this is something I've been thinking about for a while. I'm about to put my Switch up onto eBay as I just don't use it anymore and nothing really on the horizon has me interested enough. Figured I would offer it up here first to see if anyone is interested, probably until the end of today and then I'll set up the ebay auction tomorrow. It would include: Nintendo Switch console (Grey) Pro Controller Zelda Mario Odyssey LA Noire Any reasonable offers.

Well I ended up bidding about £30 more than I originally planned to but I won the auction! Its a modded Panasonic Q and comes with 25 games: Japanese: Beach Spikers Volyball Konjiki no Gashbell!! Yujyo TagBattle Full Power Konjiki no Gashbell!! 2 Naruto Naruto 2 Naruto 4 NBA Street 3 Super Mario Strikers Soul Calibur 2 Waverace Blue Storm American: Bloodrayne Burnout Burnout 2 Cel Damage Dakar 2 Fifa Soccer 2002 Fifa Soccer 2003 Skies of Arcadia Legends Splinter Cell Starfox Adventures Starwars Rogue Leader Time Splitters 2 Whirl Tour XIII X-Men Next Dimension

Lets get an image of the sexy beast in here before I either regret paying so much, or regret not bidding enough for it and start to feel bitter towards it

Yeah I’m happy about 30 hours as well. I find it harder and harder to commit to longer rpgs these days which of course is why Xenoblade Chronicles 2 could be a mistake!

I doubt I’ll win it as I don’t think I should go any higher and I bet there will be a load of late bids but there’s only 3 and a half hours left so I’ll let you know what happens.

Just found myself looking at Panasonic Qs again on eBay. Despite being in the middle of setting money aside at the moment for other stuff I did put a bid in. Wasn’t high enough which I’m kind of glad about! Edit: I’m so weak! I bid again and am now the highest bidder...

Demo is getting re-released next week.

I own all of them but have only completed Zero, Kiwami 1 and 3. I started 4 but didn’t get too far in so I’m really enjoying being able to go back to these. I’ll probably play 6 then go back to 3, then play Kiwami 2. The optimal Yakuza order lol.

On the flip side, seeing that Wii makes me feel sick It's probably my most hated console ever lol.

Oh cool, I didn't know that. I had thought Mighty was originally from Chaotix.

*Wets self*

I ended up preordering the PC version. I’m really looking forward to playing it next week!
