Haul's Thread

Thanks to wankspank buying my game.

Now watch as Synapse ship the order and then immediately announce standard editions that can be had for $13.

Those fools better get on with their Coffin Joe DVDs already.

PS: The one thing I'll miss about my Wild Guns cart is that playing it properly on a standard definition TV with composite video actually causes the dithering on the character select screen to color blend and create those extra shades of color (not to mention all the hyper saturated tones that really bring the Super Nintendo's cartoon palette to life). One of those things that emulator filters haven't fully captured yet. But it's such a minor detail, oh well, I'll just raid Kurt's place for my original copy.

Synapse has so much crap announced, it's probably going to take them 3 years to actually release it all


Bought cases (original artwork) for Secret of Mana, Ogre Battle, and Demon's Crest

You wouldn't be able to replicate that effect by playing the emulated version on the Wii on an SDTV?

Nope. I'z tried. The Wii has a better output and doesn't blend even with composite video.

I bought the Genesis 6 Pak cartridge (which includes Sonic the Hedgehog, Golden Axe, Revenge of Shinobi, Super Hang-On, Streets of Rage, and Columns) on Ebay earlier today. It's been awhile since I got a Genesis games, so I wanted to add more to my library. I also want to get some more RPGs and action games, but a lot of the ones I want are ridiculously expensive D:

Well that stinks  If only the Wii had worse output.

Super Smash TV
Final Fantasy Mystic Quest

Both were cheap, and I always wanted to finish MQ since it's so short and easy (got halfway through it 20 years ago)

Dragon's Crown (PS3)

I've been looking around nearly every day for this game to be at a discounted price. Finally got lucky today and picked it up for 38$ at newegg

Got some security bits for my SNES stuff. Reading several different horror stories about systems and games full of spiders or cockroaches has me antsy to do an audit/cleaning of the innards of everything.

Also received Abs' Wild Guns and took it for a spin at lunch I'll have to get a pic up of my collection soon

I like how the vertical artwork has matching spines, but the original (horizontal) style looks much more genuine

Genesis:
The Jungle Book
The Lion King
Sonic The Hedgehog 2
Eternal Champions

SNES:
Aahh!!! Real Monsters
Killer Instinct
WWF Wrestlemania: The Arcade Game

All for $48. It was a decent price.

And got Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition Complete on Steam last night.

Hey, Kurt... I see that you own the new Leisure Suit Larry game... how is it?

I haven't tried it  I backed Leisure Suit Larry on Kickstarter a year or two ago, so I got the download code through that. I don't know when I'll get around to actually playing it, sorry.

Forever Came Calling HopE Passion
Forever Came Calling Contender
Mallory Knox Signals
RDGLDGRN Red Gold Green
Trivium Vengeance

Pyscho III BD
Super Metroid Case
Zelda Link to the Past Case
Super Mario RPG Case


And for a few bucks each, to practice my battery replacement:
PGA Tour Golf
Mario Paint
NCAA Basketball

How are the Psycho sequels? I'm kind of intrigued.

Didn't realize Shout's 31 Days of Horror sale had free shipping. Hope I didn't miss out on any cool flicks I wanted. Guessing the best stuff drops in price closer to Halloween.

They're alright.  I'd probably rank my Scream movies (not picture/audio quality) like this:

1) They Live
2) Prince of Darkness
3) From Beyond
4) The Burning
5) Prison
6) The Howling
7) Lifeforce
The Fog
9) The Nest
10) Halloween III
11) Halloween II
12) Vampire Lovers
13) Town That Dreaded Sundown/The Evictors
14) Psycho II
15) Deadly Blessing
16) Death Valley
17) Psycho III
18) The Island
19) Phantasm II
20) The Funhouse
21) Terror Train
22) TerrorVision/Video Dead
23) X-Ray/Schizoid
24) Ninja III
25) Dead Souls
26) The Incredible Melting Man

Thinking I'm gonna use Amazon points for Day of the Dead here soon, and hoping for something from Body Bags/Night of the Comet/Assault on Precinct 13/Cockneys Vs Zombies as birthday presents from the Missus

I'm not wild about Day of the Dead, but I'll gladly pay a good price (~$15) for the Shout Blu-ray. [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] I sold my Anchor Bay BD immediately after seeing the caps.

Hell, I'd even buy a shitty movie like Zombi 3 again if it ever got a filmic, fully uncut HD transfer, particularly if the "missing footage" were sourced from something other than VHS. Something about giving these cult films good transfers gives me a huge boner.

I won Disney's Aladdin for the Sega Genesis on ebay today

Arkham City GOTY PS3

Plus a couple repurchases.

And if Dear God No! never gets another release on Blu-ray, I'll kill people! I don't give a damn about the collectibility of the signed BD-R version sold on eBay that I had before, I just want the movie in sweet, sweet HD again and I'm a toolbag for selling it. Still got the VHS extended cut, though.

$12 seems like a good price for a fun-lookin' flick.

I...can't believe I bought this movie (again—I have it in a DVD box). But for six bucks, I wanted to have this shitty movie in [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]. Might have been the boobs that tipped me over.

It seems like it may be a good party movie. I'll have to watch it with people next time.

Hyper Crush: The 8-Bit Adventure

Because no one ever fucking told me there was a Hyper Crush game.

The spankin' Target-exclusive steelbook. Works great as a single movie (like it should have been from the beginning) even if the transition between the two parts was a bit lazy. Can't wait to watch with commentary soon. Probably the second best Batman movie (live-action or animated) after Masked in the Fanjism.



And this sumbitch for five bucks (sans digital copy nonsense):
