X-Men Arcade. Although, without having to pump quarters into it, it's not really much of a challenge with infinite continues. I did get all 200 gamerscore from it, though.

Ugh, if it wasn't for the push-back, NASCAR 2011 would be released tomorrow!!!! I've been wondering how this game looks. I watched a preview of it on gamespot.com, and it looks like a pretty good game. I also saw they were releasing an arcade version of Days of Thunder as well. The team behind Vigilante 8: Arcade is releasing a game sometime this year called "Jimmie Johnson's Anything With An Engine". It's cart-style featuring bath tubs, lawn tractors, coffins, bombs and dumpsters as vehicles. Not sure if it'll be a full fledged title or arcade, but it looks pretty cool.

My Dell 4400 AMD computer from Wal-Mart with a 22" monitor, a spindle of DVD-R's and a ten pack of disc cases.
It ran me $947-ish.
It was also the first and only check I've written.
Outside of that, I think the most I've spent at once was like $200-ish. Once when I bought my first DVD player back in the summer of '01 and then Christmas of '07 when I was finishing up some Christmas shopping and decided to buy myself a digital camera.

I'm trying to get 100% in LEGO Batman and Smackdown 09, while trying out Pure and Turning Point after liking the demos. Might take the time to trade in some games I don't play to get another. Was looking at some kind of RPG or something, and didn't want to pick up Oblivion again. Wanted to try something different. Any suggestions? I enjoyed Fable II and the platinum hits version is a good deal since it has the DLC included. Although it's more of an adventure game, I guess. I dunno, the whole "RPG" label confuses me. I mean you level up in Fable, can assign skills, loot, etc. There are some branching decisions in quests as well. Also, Two Worlds II just hit and it's supposed to be a huge step up from the crappiness of the first. Although from all accounts, it's still not up to snuff with Oblivion. The story's supposedly flat with bad voice acting, and I guess you need to be ready to save like mad as you'll run into characters that will kill you in one or two shots.

Hard Rain... returning from the diesel station. I get Tank, get some damage in but get bored/cocky and go in and die. The game then hands me the Charger while they make their way to the elevator.
Instant kill off the top on Coach. I hang on the side of the building until my charge builds back up and check their health in the menu. Pop up, one punch Nick and he's incapped. I see Rochelle and Ellis running so I drop down and they're heading across the second story plank. I charge, catch Rochelle and send Ellis flying off to an immediate incap.
A winner is me.
Sad thing was, the entire team was competent throughout the game. Rage quitting occured and by the finale only one dude was left.

"I'll give you your pen back if you let me sign your nipple." or something along those lines from a female friend. ...I ended up getting an automatic A in art class that marking period.

Yeah. My dad works for a bakery and had said the trade magazines have had pieces on the price steadily going up. And consumers were going to catch the brunt first as businesses usually get first dibs and locked in prices over longer periods of time. That bottle doesn't look really shady, though, especially since Flavored is as big as Honey. Well, outside of the company name and bear shaped bottle. Then again, I grew up on King Golden Syrup so eh...

I gave up on Tony Hawk games when they came out with the skateboard controller. All of them were pretty good before that (although I hardly played Project 8). I hope someone comes out with another good skateboarding game, I've never been able to get into the Skate series because I hate it's controls. Same here. Well, besides I actually did play a good bit of Project 8. Getting voice messages from Jason Lee was awesome. And American Wasteland was definitely the high point for me. The story was the greatest, imo, with an awesome cast and some killer voice acting thanks to Penny from Inspector Gadget and Eric Matthews. But yeah I beat it on the original XBox, then 100% chivo-ed it on the 360. But Project 8 did feel a little flat compared to the progression of THUG, THUG2 and THAW. And I wasn't overly big on the storyline or lack there of in Proving Ground and the heavily touted Nail the Trick mode, which is cool but hardly ground breaking.

I'm not surprised.
I've always dug Guitar Hero some, but honestly... I picked up new copies of GH:Aerosmith, 3 and WT around a year or so after their release, all for dirt cheap. It ranks up there with football games for losing their value... only you can still find the new copies for those prices everywhere.
And as a fan of Tony Hawk from the original Pro-Skater through Proving Ground, I'm a bit bummed by that. What's more of a shame is, the games sold pretty well. Project 8 was Platinum Hits on the 360.
What also is a shame is the fact that the original series should have been fairly easy to modify to handle DLC packs.

I think that's the UK version of the original book. For some reason it has a different cover than the NA version. Yeah, RD mentioned he basically had no input on the cover art or subtitle they gave it.

Have you watched Jimmy Wang Yu's stuff? It's pretty good overall. I highly recommend the following by him
Blood of the Dragon Master of the Flying Guillotine The One-Armed Swordsman series Rage of the Masters
A few others... Five Deadly Venoms Blind Fist of Bruce (packaged as Brucesploitation) The Snake-Crane Secret
Oh, and if you haven't seen Ip Man yet, you should. It's a bit more drama than most but it's shot beautifully and the fights are awesome. It's loosely based on the life of the man who had a hand in training Bruce Lee.

I remember in 2002 they released a DVD of Super Mario Bros Super Show episodes that immediately went out of print. Like, I saw it in a store one week, wanted it, went back to buy it the next week, and it was gone. I never saw it in another store. I started building up in my mind how great this show would be and how fun it would be to watch. I eventually picked up the first SMBS box set released by Shout! in 2006(ish?), and found it to be one of the hardest things to sit through. I'd still love to see Captain N again, though. I agree. The SMB Super Show cartoons themselves were just awful. They hit hulu a while back when I was on a "watch entire series kick" and I just couldn't sit through them. It was just poorly written parody after poorly written parody it seemed. I think I watched maybe two or three episodes. On the flipside, I picked one of the DVDs with like four or five Zelda episodes. As overused and meme-licious as "Excuse me, Princess!" is, at least the episodes were decent enough.

I like the two episodes of A-Team where Franz played bad guys. Especially since they were only a season apart and they were completely different characters.
