RF Generation Collectorcast Episode 25

[techwizard]

@Tynstar - What you're saying about importing is fair. I really brought it up because I was having a hard time finding data on exactly how many North American releases there are, so I went with the grand total.

And I'm not arguing the success of the Vita or how much Sony supports it, etc. I was just arguing that the notion that it doesn't have any games is false. There are plenty and tons more on the way. 

i like my vita...for youtube and facebook. and i feel really bad about that, i plan on playing it at some point.

Hello again,

It's slow going for me listening to the latest 'cast. I just got to the 52-minute mark when you guys brought up the head-spinny glitch in New Vegas... which really belongs in the Dead or Alive series  . ANYway, it reminded me of several Cracked.com articles about various video game glitches, which you can read about... IF YOU DARE:

This one has the head-spinny scene that Bil was talkin' about.

Another look at the head-spinny scene.

There are several more on glitches, but I'll leave it to you to dig 'em up on your own.


On another note:"Don't qualify it, just say it!" is the best Bil line in this CollectorCast so far. Heck, that could be the new Nike slogan...

Speaking of glitches: I've been listening to the CollectorCast on YouTube on the 1.5x-speed setting so I can listen to a 3-hour spiel in just 2 hours. However, just for fun I set it at half-speed... and now I know what it would sound like if Duke, Crabs and Bil did the show while drunk. You really gotta give it a listen, it's a freakin' hoot. Especially 55:10 to 55:20; it sounds like your stereotypical soused buddy recalling one of the big regrets in his life.

UPDATE: Just went into the second hour of the show while still listening at half-speed. Seriously, you gotta experience it like this; it's funny as hell. It might take twice as long to go through the deal, but I'm tellin' ya, it's freakin'-a worth it.

Keep up the entertaining stuff, my good men...

Yes sir. I'm a moderator on the forums there and have written some features for their main page.

I know I'm a little late to the party, but I loved this topic.  It's nice to know I'm not the only one who spends too much money on great games that just sit on the shelf.  Here's a short list of games included in my pile:

Mega Man X2. 



I love all the classic Mega Man games.  1-6 are all great, I played the crap out of X, beat X3 and liked that one, and I even enjoyed MM7 a bit (however I didn't enjoy paying retail for X3 and MM7...ouch).  Anyhoo I bought X2 on feebay about 6 months ago, popped it in for about 5 minutes, and haven't touched it since.

Super Mario RPG



Yeah....I know there was a retro playthrough of this game a few months back and I owned the game at that point, but I just couldn't find the time to get around to it.  I know I'd love it too.  I'm a big fan of isometric views (Final Fantasy Tactics is my favorite game ever) and it looks quite appealing in Super Mario RPG as well.

Dragon Warrior I, II, III



Again, this is a time problem.  I'd love to get wrapped up in a classic rpg, but I just don't have the time to do it.  I reserve most of my gaming for quickies like shooters.  And speaking of shooters.....


Darius Twin and Super R-Type





I have no excuse for these two games.  I just haven't played them yet.  Again I know I'd love them if I gave them even a 30 second try, but for some reason they never cross my mind when I'm thinking of something I want to play.

[Duke.Togo]

It's really easy to forget about the titles tucked away on the shelf until you sit down and make yourself think of them. I hope it inspired you to play some, and I have been working my way through Dragon Warrior in prep for II. I know I won't dig out, but I'll make some progress.

[RetroRage]

Have you played Metroid 2 since the recording?

[Duke.Togo]

Have you played Metroid 2 since the recording?

No sir. Just Dragon Warrior so far.

[Duke.Togo]

There seems to be a lot of confusion. Let me help.

[Boshamp]

It really is shameful, I would estimate about 90% of what I own is unplayed...I started to pick some that were pretty well known as good games that I know I NEED to play to form my pile, but the list dragged on, so I started a new thread for it.

To keep it short here...

I have never beaten a Zelda game, never played a Metroid game, never played any Donkey Kong games, only played two of the Mega man games, and the only metal gear game I have played was Metal Gear Solid.

*Axe=Battler is worn by barbarians. Death=Adder killed his mother for buying it.

...and Black=Adder features BRIAN BLESSED!


AKA Vultan in Flash Gordon to all you uncultured gits out there.


This thread's becoming a game of telephone...

@Duke: found this while scanning for the cover project....
