The Thread of Gaming Randomness

1200 lbs of DS/3DS games going off for scrap apparently:

I read the details on that, are they are harvesting the gold out of all of those? I've talked with my local recycling service in the past about sifting through circuitry for gold, and they told me out of like 20,000 curcuits, they only got about 350 bucks in gold, and that was only because they did a good job separating it from the copper and such. How much gold can they expect to find in a bunch of DS games with such tiny circuits?

I'm assuming when they do GINOURMOUS quantities like that they dump it into a gigantic vat melt it all down and skim the different layers out or use slave labor in a 3rd world country or some other shit.

Anyone here ever bought anything from Chipmasters? Thoughts?

Looks expensive to me but not my area of expertise my any stretch of the imagination.

99% of my Mortal Kombat stuff is back into my collection. (Think i have 2 copies of a game and only added one.)

122 titles in my collection now.

Also added 17 new MK games to the DB

The latest episode of the All Gen Gamers podcast (episode 176) mentions RFGeneration around the 38 minute mark in response to a question sent in to the show.

Maybe one of you well spoken staff people should offer to go on the show sometime to talk about the site.

Spent 12 hours in the garage sorting and organizing the game collection.  I trimmed alot of fat off of the collection such as:  Excess Systems, 3rd Party Controllers, Hook-ups and duplicate games.  Tomorrow will be trimming down the music CD collection and reorganizing it.

Agreed. I have tried numerous times to get anywhere in terms of progress with that one.

I was SUPER excited for Sniper Elite 3.
Ended up renting it from Gamefly(never subbed before) with the intention of buying it down the line.

Gamefly took entirely too long to get the game to me (IMO) and after about 10 hours the game decided it would not load my save file with the current patch(from what i gather this was a day one patch). If i remove the patch (34MB) it does not find my game save.

So i'll be mailing the game back and canceling my GF sub.


After some brief searching the only version i did not happen across complaints for was the XOne version.


Side note. Peggle 2 is on sale for 360 today and/or tomorrow.
Another game i was REALLY looking forward to that was a complete cock up. That one cost me closer to 100 hours of gameplay though.

Sniper Ghost Warrior was riddled with glitches, my friend broke that game in less than 30 minutes when he had never played it before. penguinz0 on youtube also did a video of another Sniper game that was even worse. now you mention problems with that one too, i think the whole series is just crap when it comes to QA testing.

Sniper Elite is a completely different series from Sniper Ghost Warrior

Need For Speed Undercover (PS3) is so glitchy...
At first I thought it could be my disc, as it has a small crack on the inner, but apparently not...

Multiple times I've returned from the cars menu to then get spawned back in a world that hasn't loaded. I then proceed to fall forever at 400+MPH.
Large chunks of world loading in front of me, audio stop-starting...
In one race, a traffic car fell from the sky and landed on an opponent.
In another race, a traffic car floated across the road doing barrel rolls.
In free roam, I got stuck in an endless respawn loop. Car flips, respawned on edge of platform, flips and respawns again in the same place etc...
In free roam again, I got flung into the air repeatedly by a Pursuit Breaker...
While passing a Pursuit Breaker (A truck holding a billboard), the truck starts floating upwards leaving a hovering billboard.
At one point, my console suddenly dropped me back at the XMB with no warning it was going to do so.
Also, in some places, out of control traffic...
