Yes. Lovely. Just lovely. I was actually mildly skeptical for a little while that Ridley Scott could return and do something stellar with the franchise after the years of terrible Alien-related films that sunk the series deep. But I’m gladly wrong (and how!) now that I see the circle being completed with elements left out of the final film (but seen in storyboards and production art). I feel like sitting outside a theater and waiting, but I’m too old (and too smart) to be that crazy. Nevertheless, this looks like one I’ll line up for with a huge grin on my face when it’s released. Me and this franchise go way back, even before the original hit the screen… Continue reading

Gallery: N-Gage & Gizmondo Libraries
Yes, there A few duplicates in photo 1. Neither are complete collections (a few N-Gage games not pictured are recently loaned out) and yes, I have both handhelds here as well in great working order. In fact, my QD is actually my regular phone because I’m a cheap (and poor) bastard and hell, it works great as a phone. I give not a hoot for fancy phones with touchscreens, multiple cameras and stupid data plans that leech your wallet dry before you even make a single call. As for the Gizmondo stuff, I only need Classic Compendium II and the SUPER rare Hit or Myth to have a “complete” set of released games. A few years back, some guy sent me a CD with a bunch of emulators and stuff on it, but I’m too dumb to figure out how to extract it all onto an SD card, so it’s in one of the CD holders near my PC. Eh, one day I’ll poke around again and do a step by step from the instructions on the disc, but I’m too occupied with more important things these days. By the way, both POD and Trailblazer NEED to be remade one of these days for PSN/Vita/XBLA/iOS/Android/etc., as they’re easily the two best titles on the system and yes, still hold up today.

And here you go, minus a bunch of stuff I played and sold or traded. Yes, the Windwaker manual is signed by Miyamoto, so that’s something off my bucket list (only 90,000 things left… yikes). Note to Dreamcast fans (and the guy who emailed me): SEE, I do have Skies of Arcadia after all. I did have the Eternal Arcadia box at one point as well as the US SoA for my DC, but sold them both off a long time back.
Anyway, Yeah, I need to get Baten Kaitos 2 one day, as I missed it when it came out and I liked the first game quite a lot. Yes, the last pic with the demos, GameCube promo DVD and Pac-Man VS. is here because I found them after I took the other pics (oops). Note: I only had about a dozen or so Japanese titles, but those are gone now. I think I still have a promo DVD with a booklet from Japan around here somewhere. but I can’t find it at the moment…
