  1. Na, I don't really hide it from her. At first I did, more for not wanting to be judged about how much I spend on figures, but that was years ago. Now she asks who he is and what is he from. There were times when my numbers were a LITTLE off, but that was back in the old Marvel Legends days. If anything she wants to know how much I spent so she won't feel bad telling me how much she spent (Forever 21)

  2. Thanks for the input guys! I really do want to go the refurbished originals in the long run, but I think that will have to be a slow, and long going trail. I really want to originals for the whole throw back feel. I want to be able to just turn the Nintendo on and play it.

     

    I will probably end up doing both. Short term plan with the CPU in the living room, and long term systems. Space will probably be an issue, but if I get that thing Hamsterboy posted, I would probably be ok without having the offical systems (well, I will get a regular NES at some point, I just have to)

     

    Hamsterboy, that is pretty awesome! Ive never seen one that does Genesis games too, I think I will probably snag one to see how it works.

     

    Eric thanks for letting me know about those emulators, as soon as I scrap back together my old PC I will have to download those.

     

    BTW for the whole PC thing I will probably end up getting these

  3. Alright, so Ive been doing some home renovations, completely redid my living, torn out the carpet, put down wood flooring, repainted everything, replaced the outlets, the whole nine yards. So I am now putting my surround sound system and big screen TV to the new living room, and setting all the equipment up (my favorite part! seriously I love doing that stuff) So Ive been wanting to have the ability to play N64 games, NES, SNES, Genesis, all those on my TV out there since I am leaving my wii in the guest room. Problem is I don't have any of those systems anymore! So instead of going that route, I thought it would be simpler to use an old junk PC, set it up in the living room with the tv as the monitor and go and download a ton of roms and an emulator.

     

    Does anyone know of any good emulators? How about roms? I found www.virtualnes.com, and that is nice since its all java based, but I cant make it full screen, so that would kind of take away from what I am trying to do.

     

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Maybe a different idea?

  4. I would buy up every TMNT Classics figure made, no question asked, even the variations of Turtles if it came to it. I bought almost all of the MOTUC figures at one point, even though I didn't have a super strong connection to the property (more of a Thundercats kid) so yeah, start an online store like MOTUC and I would be down. Even if I had to sign up for a sub service, I would still sign up.

     

    You guys do bring up a good point, not matter who got made, a must have character would get left off. I do also agree with starting for the first season and work forward. I mean, the most recognizable characters makes sense, with maybe a different variation of a turtle every quarter. Ive only seen the classic turtles in the store once, and there was only three there, so hopefully these are selling well.

     

    Based on the size of these turtles alone, I feel like they didn't plan on making more in scale figures, they would have to be pretty big.

    I don't know about EVERY figure, but a DCUC type line dedicated to the Turtles would go a loooonnng way toward getting me back into collecting.

     

    Boosh, got two signed up and counting!

  6. Ok I grabbed BL2 at redbox, so lets give this a whirl

     

    you may want to play alittle on your own as i have a few characters that are 10+. As long as you are 5 levels behind or above you wont have a problem. i have a level 16 commando and a level 11 siren.

     

    Im lvl three, Im that big guy with the guns, Im still getting used to the RPG aspect of it, so I will probably hold it for two days before I return it monday night. So far so good!

  7. why you gotta be game stalking me for bro? haha yeah its pretty intense... think call of dutys campaign mode mixed with multiplayers level up aspects with guns and kills and whatnot mixed with diablos(or any good action rpgs) quests and skill trees and you essentially have borderlands 1 and 2 for the most part.

     

    MM2 is the sheezzee.. my favorite mm aside from the X series games and the first i ever played back on the nes. you need to buy a bigger stick or actual hdd. i think you can actually use an external HDD instead of a thumbdrive as well but dont quote me on that. SA was also a favorite of mine back when i first got my dreamcast... great memories but i remember the control being sh!t. also never been a fan of max payne.. always felt like a generic gimmick shooter to me where it relied too much on the bullet time and not much else was fun.

    I could see getting borderlands 2, I want to rent it first on redbox though before I buy it, $60 is too much for a game I might think sucks. It's not the size of my memory stick that is a problem, it just said specifically if I want to play xbox games I need and xbox 360 harddrive. No big deal, I can buy one pretty cheap online, its just annoying is all. SA has been fun, but I can see where the game hasn't aged as well. Tonight I will be on for sure, maybe we can try and get some MK going...

     

    just about ranked second in BF3 just by repairing my buddie's helicopter while he takes on tanks and enemy choppers then some ya hoo manages to get over 6000 points while camping so it bumped me down to third and then I get annihilated on Operation metro no matter what I use shotguns,Machine guns,rifles everytime some punk is hiding in a train with a shotgun loaded with frag rounds or they come up behind me with a machine gun while I'm lying prone so my movements atre restricted and just unload the gun into my skull

     

    I've never played BF3, but I've heard good things. Whenever I play those kinda games, I find myself always wishing it were more like COD. I know, Im lame.

  8. Yeah dude I've seen you've been on that game like crazy, it looks like fun! I recently downloaded a few older games on my systems. I just DL Megaman 2 and StarFox on my Wii, both classics! Also downloaded Max Payne 1 on xbox (turns out you need a hardrive to play that, my memory stick isn't good enough even though it has already been downloaded) so that was a let down, but I did download Sonic Adventures and DigDug, so I've been busy with those.

  9. stoked for some Tekken Tag Tournament 2 tomorrow and then a week later Borderlands 2!

     

    And Rock, you had to get games i DONT have haha. And sorry for denying some MK this past weekend, i was drunk and re-into Borderlands 1 with a buddy of mine at my house. We ll have to do it up soon tho, still love the hell out of the game and havent played in a bit.

     

    For sure buddy, and believe it or not, but they told me at GameStop (I still call it EB, anyone else remember when it was Electronics Boutique?) that I couldn't have any games you have, so there ya go! I will probably be turning in portal 2 soon, I think I've almost got it beat, been a great game, better then I thought it would be.

     

    Yeah I was really drunk that night too, I dunno why I wanted to play all the sudden, I woulda sucked, but now I will eat your soul! I saw a commercial for BL2, looks pretty cool, hopefully they will have it out on redbox and I'll give it a try before I buy.

    it's still called EB games here in Canada

     

    Aren't all your wheels square there? @smilepunch@ Good to know, now I just need to move to Canada so my wife doesnt look at me crazy when I say I wanna go to EB.

  10. Haha well just to let you know, that game is essentially 2 games in one. The single player mode is COMPLETELY different than the co op 2 player mode. and im talking about portal 2.

     

    I'll keep that in mind, maybe I will keep it for a while then, I tried to get my wife to play, and she likes the concept, but not her cup of tea.

     

    BestBuy has Call of Duty Black Ops on sale this week for $20 on both systems, I am gonna pick up black ops tonight!

  11. People will joke about this

     

    And it possibly would of gotten a different if the Taliban and Al Cheida didn't exist

     

    As I said they ruined it for all Muslims

     

    Yeah, they will joke about it for sure, and I am totally for people saying whatever they want, this is America first and foremost. I know it was a joke, a passive aggressive joke, not a good joke or really even funny either, but still a joke. I guess I find it offensive as a lover of jokes...

  12.  

    Will he use his ring for an "Honor Killing"?

     

    Or maybe to crucify some Christians in Egypt (which IS happening, now)..?

     

    seems to imply that this character is doing it, simply because he is Muslim. Ignorance usually speaks for itself, just seems and sounds a little racist.

     

     

    Oh geez I was wondering when this would happen...Well if they didn't do these things and kill innocents I guess people wouldn't say anything..

     

    BUT

    Since a few extremists it will ruin for all....

     

    Wondered when what would happen? In a thread to discuss a newly created Muslim GL, it was implied that this character, based on little to no info other then his religion, would be honor killing people with his ring and will crucify Christians. Obviously it was a joke, an unfunny joke, but a joke none the less. It's pretty much like saying "Hey, Moonkight wants to crucify Christians and doesn't tip" or "The new Allen Scott must be a pedophile because he is gay" Like I said, just ignorant really. BTW, I am a complete Republican, so please don't assume I am some bleeding heart, I'm far from it, just thought it sounded like a dumb thing to say, so I said so.

  13. It may not be this character but the muslims are doing this so that what it has to do with this :rolleyes:

    I thought this was a thread to talk about this character, not what the Muslims are doing world wide, and again, it seems to be missed that it's not "the muslims" that are doing this, but infact a small, microscopic fraction of the overall Muslim faith. So I guess your answer is that is does not have anything to do with comics or this Muslim comic character. Just seems like the wording:

    He is right there is this happening right now

     

    Ok, and what does that have to do with comics, or for that matter, a Muslim character? Would it be a fair for me to assume these Christians were over there, forcing people to become Christian or be murdered themselves? I mean, if we are going to assume extremist represent the majority instead of the minority, then you could pretty much accuse Christians of the same types of crimes, murdering in the name of their "correct" God. I'm not trying to make this a religious topic by any means, just seems pretty ignorant to say something like that.
