When he should be paying attention and doing his damn job. Now my boss wants me to show him how a "real' worker closes up the station. I don't know how many times I can show him...

    I need to get the fuck out of that place.
    My step brother is a dish washer. He got another job awhile ago and the place went under. He was apparently so good the guy that managed it fired another guy at one of the other places he manages to bring my step brother over there. Since then he has pretty much taken 90% of the available hours there. So maybe there is a fine art to this?

    They use some kind of complicated machine actually, it's not a regular dish washer or some shit.

    I don't really count. Shard counts more than me here.

    You mentioned this when I had a 5 screw Donkey Kong Junior Math. What's the deal with em?

    The third one is Japan only anyway.

Only played the third one myself, and despite its obvious flaws, it's pretty good. It's not as strictly turn-based as other games, though. It's a bit hard to explain. You actually do take turns, but when you start controlling your soldiers the enemies also start reacting to you in real time. Sort of. Just watching a video of it should do the trick if you're interested.

    Actually, if I had to compare it to anything, I'd say the Valkyria games play an awful lot like XCOM as far as combat is concerned.
    I liked all 3. A lot. VC is still my favourite PS3 game. I think that's evident by all the VC swag I have though.

    ESPN's default is pretty atrocious. Imo anyway...

    Haven't looked at Yahoo yet, my only Yahoo league drafts really late.

    Gare - Ah. I know of the 'turn based', and then there are the strategy, as in 'Tactics Ogre'. I havent tried the latter, but I HAVE given Dragon Warrior, FF, and others a solid go. Not my scene, dude. Cant take the combat style..bores me to tears...need that 'HIT' button.
    Now, certain games that are labeled as 'rpg' I DO love: Zeldas, Faxanadu, Govellius, etc.
    Wifey, she goes crazy for Golden Sun, Sword of Mana, Kingdom Heart, etc.

    We have several FF games, spanning many platforms, that essentially collect dust here. Same goes for 90% of the 'JRPGs' that we have collected. (Hoarded)
    I'll be sending one to Kouen, but my friends outside the US cannot use many of the others, due to the NTSC/PAL hogshit...


    Joh - Awww... "class", eh? Thats VERY dapper of you to say, good sir..
    (BELCHHH)

    Zelda isn't an RPG imo. I'd classify it as an action/adventure game.

    Should you ever decide to part with that hoard they could collect dust in my dungeon. Though I mostly have what I want now in terms of older stuff.

    (I have been making a point to HOLD the NES stuff that we have been getting in...you and a local guy are at the top of the list, man.... )


    Sweet man, I appreciate you thinking of me when it comes to the NES. I don't really have anything I'm currently getting rid of for the DS. The only extra stuff I have is 5x NES consoles, 1x 1st Gen Genesis console, 1x SNES console, 2x Magnavox Odyseey 2 consoles.

    It's just that during NES cartridge production Nintendo decided to revise their cartridge molds. They added clips at the top to reduce the amount of screws needed for assembly to three instead of five. I assume it's to save money reducing the screws needed per cart by two. Some games however where manufactured during the change over from one cart-case type to the other. Thus you have certain NES games that have three and five screw variances. You can even go deeper and find variances not only in screw type, but also in the actual labels. Usually pertaining to the seal of quality being circular or oval. NES collection is crazy.

    You don't have to tell me twice. This is why I only pick up games for it on the cheap. I don't want to have to worry about all those variants and w/e. Plus I imagine they'd be more difficult to sell for full value. Assuming some variants are worth more money.

    The big secret about the five screw carts is they sometimes contain Famicom chips with a converter. Which means you can open the cart, remove the converter and use it to play Japanese titles on your NES.

    Dont have a use for those consoles, man....as it is we will soon be using our excess decks for garden walk-way 'stones'....

    Dont worry about trade goods at the moment, catch me later...the variants are both Mario/Duck, if memory serves...if you want 'em, to swap/hoarde/sell/whatever, I'll set them aside for you, dude....
    Just shoot me your addy via PM...I'll eat the 2-3 lousy bucks that it'll take to ship 'em, heh...


    Sprung....the beer is cold, the ashtrays empty...
