Happenstance

Yeah I used to keep my DVD collection in alphabetical order. I kept it like that when it was on the shelf but after I transferred them all to a CD wallet it was way too much hassle to have to move every single DVD along one when I got a new movie lol.

One of my favourite Giant Bomb GOTY skits ties into that quite nicely

So those of you that have some kind of retro collection, what consoles/handhelds do you actually have? A lot of my game collection is from the Mega Drive and SNES but my hardware list is (ignoring current gen): NES SNES Gamecube Wii Mega Drive Dreamcast 3DO Xbox PS1 PS2 PS3 Atari 2600 Gameboy PSPGO Vita Nintendo DS Nintendo DSi New Nintendo 3DS GameGear Planning on getting more in the new year. Already eyeing up a Sega Saturn and maybe a Philips CDI. ...I guess as well being a member of this forum I should buy one of those grey N64s.

Did anyone ever watch all of the Phoenix Wright anime? I watched the first episode or two but wasn't sure about it. Just wondering how it turned out overall. EDIT: Oh apparently the dub is out in January.

If anyone ever needs a good list of video game art books and short reviews on them then I suggest using the Parka Blogs page I link to below. Its helped me find quite a few books I didn't know had been released. https://www.parkablogs.com/content/video-game-art-books-list

Ok then, starting with The Art of Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney right now. I'm in the mood to replay those games so probably a good one to read next.

Yeah but then I might miss out on some interesting information! I need to read every single line just in case

I might grab one now actually. I've got around 25 in my collection so far (not counting my kindle Boss Fight books) and it feels like I've only read maybe 5 all the way through. Got to admit though, some are really daunting. The Art of Blizzard Entertainment for example is just huge!

Thanks, I've just backed it. What I really need to do is actually get around to reading these damn books!

Bought Finding Paradise yesterday and I'm really looking forward to playing through it. I loved To The Moon, one of my favourite gaming experiences.

Sorry didnt notice your reply, its live action. Next shot has come out. Hawk & Dove.

They've said today that any future Deadpool movies would most likely remain R rated.

I was hoping to get One Piece but £35 still seems way too much for a re-release.

I hated it. Worst one since Final Frontier.

I cant remember which one it is but if you use a specific oil on your sword it takes them down pretty quickly.

I find early access makes more sense on PC. I've bought quite a few games over the years that I've enjoyed following as they've gone through a lot of changes before release, PUBG included. I do think though that some companies kind of abuse the system. Games like ARK and DayZ that just never seem to come out.

Lol yep. X-Men 2 Clone Wars is basically the next game on my list. I would add Adventures of Batman & Robin to that list but its around £90 most of the time. ....I used to own both of those games I think I might need to get a new retro console though to play my carts. I'm on the Retron 5 at the moment and I think the SNES port is on its way out. Need to start researching what to get. Havent heard any rumours on a new system in a while but I know Nintendo's patent on N64 games was supposed to run out this or last year so you'd hope someone was working on adding that to an all in one retro console as well.

I bought Spider-Man Maximum Carnage for the Mega Drive the other day which is a Streets of Rage style game thats actually thought of quite well. Played some earlier but only got a couple of levels in before I died. I'm probably gonna get back to working on my collection in the new year. I think I've been neglecting my Mega Drive one lately!

I think I'm finally gonna get around to ordering an 8Bitdo SF30 Pro with receivers as I'm playing my Retron 5 and Snes mini more.

I still think it’ll do well enough in Japan. They may prefer it on a handheld but I don’t think they’ll skip such a big progression just for that reason.

Oh yeah I know what you mean but a lot of the talk about all this seems to think we'll maybe get one last generation change before it all switches over to a system like that. EDIT: I think Microsoft and Sony have just taken different approaches to it. MS with their backwards compatibility and Sony's streaming services. I think MS understands it better for the current climate but you have to wonder if Sony are playing the long game with their streaming. PS Now could be amazing once Internet speeds worldwide catch up.

I still think it will take a brand new console cycle but its possible. We've seen it with all the big 3 lately.

So what I've been hearing is that this should never have been described as "story dlc" and some fans are feeling almost lied to. You guys who have played it agree with that?

I never saw a lot of buzz around it. Was there much advertising?
