I'm not very much into football. I watched the first three quarters. After that I was too bored to keep watching so I did my homework. >___<
When I say I'm a cheapass, I mean I'm a CHEAPASS! I don't even have a PS2 of my own yet! (currently mooching off of my brother)
PS2: ~$130 for system
PS2: ~$5-$25 for most games, including many good games
360: ~$300 for bastardizes system with no hard drive, ~$400 for the system that is actually usable
360: ~$20-$60 for most games, good games are hard to find for uber cheap
I'm getting a PS2 way before a 360. And I'm not getting a PS2 for a while.
@applequeso
you are correct the covers would be, emulated, unreleased, and covers reformatted (that i didn't originally make) to another template

I reformat almost all of my ps1 covers, just to guarantee uniformity. I'm going to guess that you have those Dreamcast FF covers in there?

To everyone at TCP,
Untill further notice i will not be making any more covers. Its been great here and all but recent major news in my life have mad me realize that i need to prioritize all aspects of my life. I'm also considering selling all videogames i own and putting focus on more important things in my life.
this news has nothing to do with the cover project as i still think it is the best community of gamers and cover makers.
in time i'll upload all my WIP psds somewhere and leave a link. so long

Well, it sucks to see you go, you did amazing work here for TCP :-\ I guess I'll be single handedly keeping your vertical SNES template alive :D Good luck with whatever changes are taking place in your life.

Congratulations on setting and acquiring new goals, Shenske. This is obviously something you've given a lot of though into, and again I wish you all the best.
I've certainly appreciated all the work you've done for me, but moreover the site as a whole. I certainly appreciate the update myself, but I hope you're not doing any covers out of obligation, even while you're taking classes.
Also, add me to your PSN list, my PSN ID is Conral and is in that online thread. I have LBP and MGS4, among others.
I don't think being a hardcore gamer has anything to do with the amount of time you put into gaming. You can be a hardcore gamer and still have a full-time job and social life.
Whether you are a hardcore gamer or not depends on the types of games you play, at least where I come from. Are you into 2D Fighters/Technical 3D Fighters, Mario Bros.-style 2D Platformers, RPGs (Tactical, Japanese or Western), or Shmups? Then you are probably a hardcore gamer.
A casual gamer is one who sticks to the easy-to-understand, don't-spend-time-on-it type of games. First-Person Shooters, Mario 64-style 3D Platformers, Mobile Puzzle Games, and any Wii game that thrives based on how much waggle is involved: those are the casual games.
A hardcore gamer can play casual games and still be hardcore. A casual gamer can not play hardcore games and still be casual.
Of course, if a gamer puts too much time into a 'in-between' game, then they'd be hardcore. If you just play an FPS or Fighter online for the fun of it, your a casual gamer. If you play those same games with a close watch on your Win/Lose ratio and consider making a brand new account if you have a bad day, you'd be hardcore. Play "I Love Rock & Roll" on Easy? I'd question whether you've even seen a video game outside of your iPhone. Play "Through The Fire And Flames" on Expert? I'd question whether you've every seen the outside world.
So, maybe it's just a mental thing.
Anyway, I consider myself hardcore, with a casual attitude. I don't care (too much) about Win/Lose ratios or getting 100% achievements/trophies, but I still play shmups, Tactical RPGs, 2D Fighters and other genres that Father Time has left in the dust. I also take gaming very seriously, wanting it to be as aesthetically pleasing and immersible as possible.
C'mon, I come to this site, don't I? I'd say that any gamer who actually prints covers out for their games on quality print paper and goes out of their way to get cases for games so that their games can look really great on their shelves has far crossed over the line into hardcore country. Most gamers I know just keep their CD-based games in CD Folders and their cartridge-based games in boxes. Probably in the attic/basement.
Everything you just said I wouldn't call a hardcore gamer. I would call them an enthusiast - which is what I believe I am.
Everything you just said I wouldn't call a hardcore gamer. I would call them an enthusiast - which is what I believe I am.
Well all things considered, the term "Hardcore Gamer" is pretty synonymous with "Enthusiast Gamer" if you ask me. However I suppose that if you really wanted to separate them you could say that "Hardcore Gamers" tend to be elitist and look down on "Casuals".
I would consider myself an enthusiast then if we are to make such a distinction, as generally, I don't see any reason to look down on people who simply don't have the same amount of passion that I do for my hobby.
However, insult the classics and you're likely to get my blood boiling :)
I for one love Rock Band. It's really one of the best games I've ever played. I agree with you on GH though. I bought GH3 because I liked the tracklist but the balancing is way off. I had no problem playing through the game until "One" and "Raining Blood". Couldn't even beat them on hard. You would have to be a freaking octopus to get through the solo or the mosh part of these songs. Also the achievements suck. Playing through hard with a standard 360 controller? Are you kidding me?
Ever since Neversoft took over the GH series they always screw it up. I gave GH World Tour a chance. It's a fun game, has a good tracklist, too. But the same brick wall problem. The game's got no learning curve whatsoever. Instead of getting harder with time it just stays the same and then at the end comes a song and BAM you hit a brick wall because it's way harder than anything you played before.
I was going through the expert bass career. To my surprise it was REALLY easy. Just a few songs that I didn't 5*'ed on my first try. Enter B.Y.O.B. and I'm screwed. As if they turn up the difficulty from 1 to 10 in an instant. Just can't beat the song. Since I'm the achievement whore that I am I thought, ok, I'll go through expert vocals then. Same story here. Whose bright idea was it to let you sing a LIVE version of a Jimmy Hendrix song? He's probably high on acid while he sings it and the pitch is all over the place. Can't even make it further than 30secs into the song until I fail.
I'm looking forward to GH: Metallica (mainly because I hope they bundle it with a wireless X-Plorer) and I pray that they get the balancing right for once that I can play through it on hard at least since medium just isn't any fun anymore.
rant over :)
But as far as GH/Rock Band players being hardcore... I have a few friends who bought either one of these games and they play on medium all the time and have a blast. They don't even want to play higher difficulties. The people online, however, are very protective and nerdy. I can't count how many times someone quit on me because they were losing. Like losing in a ranked match is like losing a limb *sigh*
I think being hardcore or casual (if you want to seperate these two in the first place) depends on how much room you give gaming in your life. Most casual players just play to relax. Or with friends or at parties. They just want to have a good time for an hour or so and then do something else. A hardcore player is likely to ramp up the difficulty, playing for hours at a time, trying to get the most out of a game until it's done. Whether it be going for achievements or a secret or extended ending that you only get on the higher difficulties. Playing the game for a second or third time just to see everything. A casual gamer wouldn't do that. If they play a game that has a story to begin with and not some shovelware or mini game collection they are more than likely done with it after their first playthrough.
Whereas the common Resident Evil fan is likely to play through the game several times. If you got 4th Survivor on Resi 2 you're hardcore, if you got Tofu, payed through Resi1 in under 3 hours or are a 7-day survivor at Dead Rising, you're my hero :D
What are doing different on the Warcraft III cases?
Pokemon Gold/Silver Remakes Confirmed for Japan
"Heart Gold" and "Soul Silver" for DS later this year.
By Ray Barnholt, 05/08/2009
After some not-so-coy suggestions on Japanese variety show Pokemon Sunday last week, the speculation has now ended: Pokemon Gold and Pokemon Silver, the second-generation editions of Nintendo's infectious creature-collecting RPG, are being remade for the Nintendo DS, ten years after the originals. Rechristened "Heart Gold" and "Soul Silver," the game(s) will debut in Japan this fall.
The announcement comes from a page on the official Japanese Pokemon site. Nothing of much substance is there, though, except the two logos you see on the right. No solid release date besides "Fall" was revealed. More substantial information is expected to follow in future editions of CoroCoro Comic, the Japanese manga magazine that features Pokemon stories and keeps fans updated with the biggest news in the franchise.
Heart Gold and Soul Silver follow in the footsteps of Pokemon LeafGreen and FireRed, the Game Boy Advance remakes of the original Pokemon games. Although they looked and played much better than they did on the comparatively clunky original Game Boy, diehard Pokemon fans saw them as a great way to collect all those first-generation Pokemon to beef up their Pokedex even further. Naturally, the return of Gold and Silver's roster will serve the same purpose, and we'll bet the rest of the game will offer a few new wrinkles to the constantly revised feature set that keeps the series everlasting.

Did they tell you why? I suppose copyright right?
#3= Super Momotarou Dentetsu III
each game should have a shvc number, google search that and you should have luck
So this new house, are we to assume it has plenty of space for displaying your collection? :D
Beautiful out come :o
Is that just custom paint job + label, or does that contain English rom as well?

Just a custom paint job and label. I have yet to find a good rom translation for the game. The translations out there are engrish and/or don't have the "American" names for the pokemon.
Tell me when you manage to complete this.
Green is obviously the last one which I'm missing from the 1st generation ones.
Here is a little side project i decided to finally finish with my spare copy of "Pocket Monsters Green" ;D
Oh how i love kryon fusion and a nice matte finish for good measure.

Hey Shenske. I've seen a lot of pictures around the site of people's gaming spaces and collections. Yours sounds like it might be the largest here, do you have any picture to share? ;D
Hey shenske, could you please upload this label. It looks fantabulous, id love to stick it on my pokemon greenSorry i missed this. You can find the label in my box.net profile linked in my signature. I put it with the DS case covers.
If you don't have the PDF's anymore, that is quite alright. Never hurts to ask =DI don't delete any of the PSD's for my covers. I can look through them when i'm at a stronger internet connection and give you the background images to do with as you please. I'm moving over the next few days so shoot me a PM reminding me in about a week if you don't see anything by then. What are you doing messing around with the cassette cases anyway? You have access to DS cases right?
the bottom bar would take away too much of a focal point (IMO) on the cases, which is one reason I ended up deleting it from my final idea.

I bought 256 Cassette Cases for $3.99, lol =D
I only asked shenske for his thoughts, not to make a cassette based cover thread, completely hijacked, continue asking your questions on the cassette cases themselves in the original thread posted here (http://www.thecoverproject.net/forums/index.php?topic=5827.msg54388;topicseen#new). Again, I was asking shenske specifically a question lol
it wasn't irrelevalent if you actually read it... but thanks for posting back to it :D. Now I don't have to and can just smile to know that I smarter than more people than the newer members on this forum
What size is the hard drive? The new 320GB?
... and they decided to give me A FREE PS3!!! ...
I hate saying it, but make backups regularly. Please.
Sorry to hear that Shenske (and Tiktektak).Shenske works at GameStop. This isn't an option.
Could you ask at work if they have an old PC lying around you could use? You could even say it's in case you need to work from home.
Photoshop would probably be really slow but it's better than nothing?
Well it seems my worse fear may have come true. It would appear that the cover making machine (my laptop) is officially dead. This is absolutely terrible new for me since I by no means have the funds currently to get another computer. Every cover I have ever made was on that computer. Any of the new covers I previewed in the forums but is not on the site is also on there. I don't know if the files on my hdd are recoverable or not but I won't be able to do anything with them even if they are fine.
It's a little depressing that I can't contribute to the site not because of lack of time but because I don't have the tools to do so. I don't know what to do currently and it may be a LONG time before I can get back in the game here. I really don't want to stop making cover (in fact it's driving me crazy not doing it) but I don't have a whole lot of options right now. If only I could covers on my iPhone ... well that wold be a pain in the ass but I would do it if i had to.
I have no intention of leaving the forums but I won't have the same type of presence here :(
What is the computer doing? You could just need a new hard drive.
What is the computer doing? You could just need a new hard drive.
Absolutely nothing. It won't turn on or charge even with a brand new power supply plugged in. The battery would at least charge if the hard drive crashed. Its not the actual plug for the power supply to go into either as that has been tested. I was told by a few people it is likely the mother board that fried. It's unfortunate but I'm trying to figure out a way to get another computer. I may have a solution but i won't really be sure until Friday. Fingers crossed
Shenske I wouldn't mind sending you some good will money towards a new PC, say like $10. If enough people put together and did that you might be able to replace your PC pretty quick. If you do work at Gamestop then you have good access to tons of game covers and we all know you're good for helping out with requests. I think it would be money well spent. :)
but I dont have quite enough to include the shipping and a new enclosure for my old drive.

Fixed that typo, but honestly, why don't you buy a external HDD instead of a new enclosure? I have (2) 2TB's and (1) 500 GB, they are not that expensive anymore =\

I ran into this article trying to find a way to make a cheap gaming PC (though not for Battlefield 3).This might help you with the costs, and give you a better machine in the process.
Oh well that is shitty indeed. I accidently deleted my whole cover folder some time ago but were able to recover it with a neat programm. Unfortunately it turned out that most of the files are damaged now and can't be opened. *Ouch*

What program did you use? I had something like that happen before and used Pandora Recovery and got all my files back.
I got a quote for how much it would take to fix my motherboard. Since the computer is 4+ years old and is discontinued it would actually cost me aroud $400 just to get it up and running again. If I'm going to spend that much money I may as well replace it.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
Whoever told you that has got to have been trying to rip you off... I had my laptop's motherboard repaired for $70. On campus. Where things cost more than the arm and leg it'll usually cost you.
My laptop was also around 3-4 years old when I sent it to get repaired, too.

From my understanding my motherboard needs to be replaced because it can't be repaired. I guess there are other problems with it too. I really wish it were that easy ... I guess it was the computer gods telling me to upgrade.
Sounds more than nice to me for cover creation and even a game or two.... ;)
Reuploading our templates with now better available logos would be nice. I think for at least Genesis/Mega Drive and SNES we should have updates shouldn't we? I think djshok said sth bout that.
You are right chad. I think we both update at the same time. I added the sega logo with the proper outline, fixed the player #'s box and used hexxer's sega seal. I'm jusrt really trying to find the proper font on the blue mega drive back where the player #'s are displayed. Also have a bunch of develper logos on there so I'll send it off to shenske for a final look over :) if he's cool with it that is.
Shenske, were you ever able to get your Dungeon Magic cover uploaded? tiktek's is the only one on the site right now but his has the retail spine
Funny enough this wasn't even done on purpose by me I think....
Would be easily changeable by yourself by the way.
Looking forward to it mate! :D Any specific platform or a potpourri of different ones?
Did you get your access back or were they uploaded for you?
That's really sweet Shenske!
I might have to try that, but I would like the cart to kind of fit inside the other cart for extra stability. so that might take quite a bit of modification...
Ok that's really good to know.That's really sweet Shenske!

It just doesn't wiggle around at all, its really stable. I was playing it on my snes portable with no problems at all.
If you were to do it yourself i would recommend using the other type of snes shell.
Damn it ...... good season in football turns out bad in the post season.
My favorite college and professional football teams both didn't win the big one.
(I'm from Indiana and moved to Colorado when i was young, i like a mix of both of their teams)
Notre Dame goes undefeated and is embarrassed in the BCS Championship
Denver Broncos lose the their first game in the playoffs to a team they are better than.
just ..... eh .... :'( :'(
Dude, I live in Cleveland. The Browns. You won't ever get sympathy from me :P
... Rahim Moore. Looks like he attempted to go for the pick and whiffed. He had the angle to just swat it down and end the game.
Basically i'm just rooting against the Patriots. I actually do hope the Seahawks make it, their defense is stout :)

American "football" only really interests me during Super Bowl, which I actually enjy always watching.

I bet you'd enjoy american football more in the company of Americans.
I'm not a big "soccer" fan except when i watch it with my friend from Germany.
technically "soccer" is the correct term...Technically soccer is a correct term. Not a popular one outside the US by the way...

Personally, american football should be called american rugby to avoid confusions with "real" football, but probably that's just me...
I mean, c'mon, a player throwing a football and not using its feet is the main star of the show and the game is not called handball.
Also that ball doesn't look like a ball at all.
I'm 110% with you guys. Football makes no sense. Should call it time out ball, or maybe penalty ball, since those two things seem to take up 2/3 of the time spent in a game.

I mean, c'mon, a player throwing a football and not using its feet is the main star of the show and the game is not called handball...but the same thing happens in Rugby, which is also called Rugby Football, (governing body the RFU "Rugby Football Union"),(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saracens_F.C. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saracens_F.C.),http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin_F.C. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harlequin_F.C.), also in team names)
"hey, if those crazy British can call a game football and there's hardly any foot/ball contact in it, why cant we call our sport football?"
sorry, maybe bad wording on my part?
in rugby you mostly run whilst holding the ball, "theres hardly any foot (and) ball contact"

I like it, it would be an even cooler background if it had a bunch of systems (maybe NES through Wii U). I bet this would also make a pretty good inlay for those games that are just too obscure to find good art for.
Decided to make and American version of the old Super Famicom Packaging. Its currently my background image on my cpu.
Its not perfect nor vector but it was a quick fix to do the job. Let me know if anyone is interested and i'll up it to my box.net.

Give you guys a personal update:
Ugh. So i live in Northern Colorado and this is the shit i'm dealing with right now. Rain will continue until Sunday.

RED areas are road closures. Flood area is growing and growing.
Not showing exactly where i live for obvious reasons.

Luckily my house is not flooded (at the moment). Big problem is i live a few miles where two major rivers converge. All the water rushing from the mountains is flooding EVERYTHING. I'm on water notice currently. We have to boil water for consumption, can't flush toilet or shower for an estimated 10 days.
We still have access to a few roads in town at the moment. Its not that all the roads are closed to to water, some just aren;t there and have been completely destroyed. My girlfriend and I have food and we went out and bought some jugs of water this morning. Hopefully the water will pass and the Platte River doesn't overflow. If that happens i'll surely be evacuated as that is only 1 mile from my house. I can see the river from upstairs window. We still have power at the moment and are just basically "sitting tight" to see what will happen next.
Wish me luck :-\ (On the bright side i have homeowners insurance)
The flooding we are experiencing is a 500 year flood. The river South of my house is about 30% higher than has ever been recorded.
I ordered the EverDrive64 for StoneageGamer and it is awesome!
Since I ordered the 'board only' I thought i'd go a very custom route with this one. I went to the local gameshop and got a copy of AllStar Baseball 2001 as a donor for this creation. From its ashes something greater was born.
As always, let me know what you think ;D
Thanks! I was debating between Red, Blue or Black. I thought Red would pop the most and i could keep the color across all platforms that i get the EverDrive for. I've already made a cover for the TurboEverDrive in red so i'll keep the theme going.
@StoneAgeGamer
If you would like the label just let me know :)
shenske just a tip...maximum carnage for the genesis was in a red cart 8).
The EverDrive Family ;D
I got everything from StoneAgeGamer (awesome products btw), made the labels and cut the shells myself (the Gen label uses DJshok's design until i come up with something). Doom for SNES did not have to die for this project ... but it did get displaced in a gray shell. I purchased one from ebay with an almost unrecognizable label for this reason.
I also have the TurboEverDrive (not pictured) and will eventually get the EverDrive for GameGear. I haven't decided what visiual style to go with for the SEGA EverDrives so they are in the normal retail look for now. I'm considering going with a blue scheme or all black scheme.

I know why the TG16 ED isn't in the group shot. There isn't a whole lot of real estate for labels and paint :-\
Awesome work.
What do you use to print the stickers ?
that is awesome. I was starting to wonder if I was the only game collector who also collects everdrives/flash carts.
I'm planning on adding a back piece of 1/16" plywood and painting it black. I'm going to use a nail gun or staple gun to secure it.
I just got really excited when i got this far, lol :)

Damn straight! Superbowl 50 champions, three Lombardi's and finishing this half a century on top.
GO BRONCOS!!!
Yeah watched the game... offence was incredibly bad on both sides, add to that that both had great defence, one had some what rookie QB and the other had nearwalkinglimbing dead QB... no wonder game was boring as hell.
Only interesting moment was the first touchdown and how it happened (the whole few seconds it lasted).
Half time show was mediocre.
= WORST SUPER BOWL I'VE SEEN.
Even the power outage during Super Bowl few years ago was more interesting ;)
As someone who played football in high school and college, I actually LOVED this game. Then again, I was a defensive player. This game was not very exciting for a lot of people, and I get that, but both defenses were awe inspiring, especially to anyone who played Def, or just really likes a strong defensive showing. For me, that is way more exciting than a 42-37 game.
Either way, the Patriots weren't in it, and that's all I think the majority of people cared about anyway. :D
As someone who played football in high school and college, I actually LOVED this game. Then again, I was a defensive player.

I definitely get what you are saying. I've never been into football, so I don't get much enjoyment out of it in the first place. But as a guy who ran cross country and track & field in college, I love watching that kind of stuff. And that's a sport that 99% of people find extremely boring. But since it was such a big part of my life, I'll always enjoy watching it, especially during the Summer Olympics.
Just watched the Pro Bowl game which was way better dispite the pillow fight mentality.
The EverDrive Family ;D
I got everything from StoneAgeGamer (awesome products btw), made the labels and cut the shells myself (the Gen label uses DJshok's design until i come up with something). Doom for SNES did not have to die for this project ... but it did get displaced in a gray shell. I purchased one from ebay with an almost unrecognizable label for this reason.
I also have the TurboEverDrive (not pictured) and will eventually get the EverDrive for GameGear. I haven't decided what visiual style to go with for the SEGA EverDrives so they are in the normal retail look for now. I'm considering going with a blue scheme or all black scheme.

Let me know what you think :)
Looks great, man!
I know why the TG16 ED isn't in the group shot. There isn't a whole lot of real estate for labels and paint :-\
Sorry to basically be a ghost these last two months. Losing my mother took a lot out of me and there were 1001 things to attend to at that time. I also ended a 7 1/2 year relationship so I am in the process of packing/moving at this time. I will have my own place by June 1st and hopefully have internet set up a few days after. A week or so later I am hoping to get back to it.
