Just got an amazing deal from one of the lads over in the fighting game forum - I really don't know how it wasn't snapped up sooner.
Felt bad paying such a cheap price (20 euro!), but he's moving away and needs to clear everything out.
One thing I really did not expect, was for it to come boxed and in absolutely pristine condition - and a Japanese box too!
Here's some box porn for all my bearded box lover brethren out there. :pac:
And here's the stick itself. Oh, I forgot to mention, it's modded with seimitsu parts!
Looks like it's never really been used
Dreamcast seimitsu twins.
So now I just need to find myself a player 2 for some Ikea cocktail shmup goodness!!0 -

And its got the cooler/more expensive mesh ball top on it. Very nice dude, very nice
I either need to get a yellow mesh ball for the other one, or a plain ball for the mesh one. Can't decide!
Also don't know whether to get a shaft cover for the new one or just remove the one on the yellow stick. They need to be uniform...!0 -

Great buy
The lads over in the fighting forums are all bang on. Long time lurker, part time poseur (hehe) over them parts. I met up with a few of them at one of the inferno's once and they seem like a grand bunch anything to do with sticks/parts your guaranteed honest advice.
Fecking different level at Street Fighter tho, scary ****.0 -

Picked up Andro Dunos earlier today. What an amazing hori shooter, normally quite meh towards them but this is brilliant fun. Better than R-Type and Blazing Star put together! :eek:
Gorgeous looking visuals, fabulous audio and excellent gameplay. Not that easy either. I'm not sure if it's emulated in Mame but if it is, then definitely give it a try if you like shooters in general. I don't have the means to take decent quality video so pics will have to do.
Used Parcel Motel and the Belfast address redirected to down south to save on postage. Was posted from the UK on Friday so really fast delivery too. Will definitely use that again.0 -

Certainly not a 'grail' GET! for me this, because I'm ashamedly very new to the Megaman series of games, but it's certainly a gem to pick up & have in the collection, am quite happy about owning it.
It's missing its manual, but I can remedy that over time by keeping an eye out for one & paying a stupid amount for it too.
But here goes
I opened the cart to be doubly sure it was legit, & its the real deal. I traded the boxed PAL Nes for it & a couple of carts...nothing expensive really. Seeing as I had the NTSC Nes anyway now...I found it hard to turn down the trade!0 -

So jealous Achillies, what was Nana Visitor like in person? Stewart has bearly aged a day in the last 30 years, the man is a testament to growing old gracefully! Thats Ira Behr at the end isn't it?
Yeah we had a nice quick chat about DS9 with Ira and his slight disappointment at the fact that fans were being slightly exploited by the DSTL convention by being charged for autos etc even though they'd paid enough to get in in the first place.
Nana Visitor was a sweetheart in person... she asked us to hold on while we waited for her so that she could retouch up her makeup for us, hah.
I complimented her on her role in Dark Angel and she really seemed to like that, it seemed to ingratiate her to us immediately. She asked us the usual where we were from and stuff like that. I then asked if I could be cheeky and ask for a photo even though there were signs everywhere for no photos.
She hapilly obliged much to her assistant's annoyance and when she saw that her assistant was a bit fed up with this she turned to her and said 'and you can take the photo!'. Lovely lovely woman.
Others that I met but couldn't take pictures of: Brent Spiner (very funny guy, quite genuine), Michael Dorn (grumpy arsehole), John DeLancie (another grumpy arsehole), David Warner (lovely man, was chatting to me about loving Irish Whiskey...), Dominic Keating.
Had a bit of a funny encounter with Dominic Keating actually... he had gotten a bit of a bad rep the night before as his 'stand up' routine at the TNG party was basically full of racist and homophobic jokes so nobody was queuing to see him the next day (whoops).
Anyway we had been getting our DSTL program signed by various people throughout the day and so far the program just had a few autos saying 'To Shannon...'. So I gave him the program and asked him to sign it 'To Steve'.
He looked at me then back at the program and back to me again and went 'erm... who's Shannon?', to which I replied 'Ohhh that's usually me at the weekend...'. His face was priceless... I then said 'Just kidding it's this beautiful woman behind me...'.
He lost it, burst out laughing and gave me a high five then called over Anthony Montgomery and Conner Trineer to retell what had just happened... 'and this guy without missing a beat says his name is Shannon on the weekends...' and they all lost it too, great moment and a fun memory of the con. He then signed the program 'To Steve, Touché'. You can see that below actually. Ohh and when he took Shannon's posted to be signed he put on a real fake drag voice and went 'erh so... should I make this out to Steve?'.
I forgave him for insulting the Irish on the spot then and there, haha.
It was a great trip, the all Captain's talks were amazing too.

Jealousy levels are off the scale!!
I'm surprised to hear about Dorn & De Lancie! Were they just real short with the people or something? Can't believe you met Nana Visitor, I love her!
Also Brent Spiner, he genuinely does come across as a total p1ss taker & very comedic! David Warner I wasn't sure who he was had to google that, I'd know his voice anywhere now I know who he is! Epic stuff, Domnick Keating & Conor Trineer too...awesome awesome stuff. Well done, & well told!
Did you meet Avery Brooks? Please don't tell me he was a grumpy asshole...0 -
