Got meself a DreamCast! Finally!
« on: June 14, 2001, 11:44:17 AM »
Heck, I\'m so excited! I just spent the best week of this year with SmallLady, going on a cruise and visiting Stockholm and everything. As a nice cherry on the top, I finally bought a DC. I saved a truckload of money by waiting this long, and now that I finally have the machine, the games taste all the much sweeter after the long wait. Hot damn. Why am I wasting time here when I should be playing.

Anyways. I got :

• A DreamCast
• 1 × VMU
• Skies of Arcadia
• Sonic Adventure (it was cheap, and it is a Sonic after all)
• Grandia 2
• ChuChuRocket! (bundled in with the DC)
• And to top it all, SmallLady bought me Shenmue from Stockholm.

One month to go before the army, and seems I won\'t be getting too bored :p

Congrats Hawke!

I\'m gonna buy a used Dreamcast sometime. You can get one with ~30 games for like $200. I even saw one with 160 games for that price...

(yes I know they would most probably be \'imports\' but hey, what\'s a man to do ;))
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAPETIME!

On another note,I still can\'t belive your going into the army...........if I would enter the army would pay me to leave the next day.

General: And this gentlemen,this is where you will sleep.
nO-One: Ohh god,no TV!!! and look how far I have to go to the bathroom,this is just inhuman.
General: Well we try to make men out of you boys.
nO-One: Ohh I\'m all man,now where\'s the compootarr,the internet needs me.....
Genreal: Son,this is the army,it\'s like prison,only worse.
nO-One: *starts imitating JeffK yuao mister smartipants=fagOt and tihs place is teh suck.Now show me teh computar so I can haXor your site,I am teh HTMAL monster.

After an hour of JeffK nO-One was sent home and asked never to come back,not ever even in a million years
I recently discovered that my ass is the key to the universe.....now I must fight to protect my ass from those who might abuse it!!!

I hate U all. >:(

J/k.. but I am getting anxious to go pick mine up. Right now I\'ve got about 500 bucks to split between Rent, Car payments, Insurance, groceries, gas, cigarettes, PC upgrades, and videogames. Sorry to say, but the videogames are loosing... but soon.. hopefully.. I\'ll have the extra cash to get it. *Kicks his PSX* Grubles * Do you have any idea how sick I am of playing MOH and RE2 on this bastard????

Congrats :D

I\'ll probably pick one up around August before I start school, if I have any money left over from my job. Hell who wouldn\'t get one of the best systems to date with Shenmue for the price of a GBA and Mario Advance.

On a related note: I don\'t remember how much the Game gear costed, but wasn\'t it around 100 bucks? Irealize there were other things wrong with the machine but wasn\'t the price one of the main complaints?

Well I dunno how much it cost at launch, but you could probably pick one up at a pawn shop or a video game trader shop for around 50 to 75 bucks. Which is kinda odd since it\'s basically a supped up SMS, and those only go for around 25 bucks a system.

nah. It was battery consumption, unability to fit in pockets, and it didnt say Nintendo on it. Remember, this was back when a videogame was called a Nintendo. Brand recognition is too strong in America.

IMO, GameGear is still the best handheld around. There were tons of classics availabe for it and you could play SMS games on it via the Master Gear.

some great GG games:

Gunstar Heroes
Shinobi GG II: the Silent Fury
World Series Baseball 96
Sonic games
X-Men
X-Men Mojo World
X-Men: Gamesmaster\'s legacy

and so on and so forth :)

Hawke, get Phantasy Star Online and Resident Evil: Code: Veronica. You\'ve already got Shenmue so you\'ve got 1 of the DC\'s 3 best games. :D Just make sure you either get a 4X VMU for PSO.
July 2002: If you had bought $1000.00 worth of Nortel stock one year ago, it would now be worth $49.00. Enron, $16.50 left. Worldcom, $5.00 left. If you had bought $1,000.00 worth of Budweiser beer one year ago, drank it all and turned in the cans for the 10 cent deposit, you would have $214.00. Based on the above, my current investment advice is to drink heavily and recycle.
