I ordered Rare Replay for Xbox One (Had the X console for a while now still haven't opened it though...), got message that it has been sent.
At the same time I got message that same shop sent also my order from July (which I had forgotten completely) which is Rare Replay for Xbox One... ::)

Finally tried out GameStop's retro service thing. I got F-Zero, Super Star Wars, Vectorman, Kirby's Dream Land, and Soul Calibur. All of the cartridge games came in fine (Vectorman was a little dirty but it cleaned easily). Soul Calibur was the only disappointment. The center portion of the disc has a crack through the plastic section. I works, but I'm constantly scared to use it at all due to the stress on the disc when removing it from the case or Dreamcast. Overall, I'd say that getting carts from GameStop but maybe hold off on disc games. It's hard to tell if it was damaged during shipping or if it was just bad quality control from the outset though.
-
I would return that disc. Their quality control on their retro stuff is pretty crappy, but at least they are good about taking returns.

Thing is, I got the disc for free (I really got these a while ago through a promo they were doing) so returning it really wouldn't do anything for me. It's no big deal for me, I took a gamble and got 4/5. Not too bad in my books.

Did you ask about swapping out for something else? I've had a similar situation with them where I couldn't return since the game was part of a B2G1 deal, but they just allowed me to swap out. I know that we are talking about stock that they don't have in store, but it's still worth asking. GS is better at working with customers than most people give them credit for. Although, it depends a lot on which type of employee you get.

I honestly should have, but its been WAY over the return policy date so I probably wouldn't have much luck in that department. Live and learn I guess.

there are some stickers you can apply to lessen the stress on the plastic.

Where can I get ahold of these? They'd be SUPER helpful!

If you have a Family Video near you... you could always ask them for a blank label for your game. If someone asked me for one, I wouldn't mind giving them one (lol)

My black Analogue Super NT arrived today.
As did Joking Hazard card game's new addition deck called Stroking Hazard (Hint: It's collaboration with Porn Hub).
And a protest children book called Last week tonight with John Oliver presents: A day in the life of Marlon Bundo.
Can't tell more as it would be against the no politics rule.

Some new stuff.
First up is a little Kickstarter game I backed.
(https://i.imgur.com/JUveViNl.jpg)
Apparently I owned COD already but was the EU version. Oh well now I have two copies.
(https://i.imgur.com/N0RIUmdl.jpg)
Got a second copy of R-Type (not the early run like my other) and a copy of Holy Diver.
(https://i.imgur.com/FnXIqNIl.jpg)
Got these at Half Price Books for a good price. They had a few other rarer PS1 games for a good price but unfortunately bills must get paid also.
(https://i.imgur.com/CarV35Wl.jpg)
Another HPB purchace. This was only $15! and in mint. The CD is unopened. Okami HD PS3.

I love that you don’t even own a switch, yet you’re going so far as to buy imports :D
I approve of that level of madness.
Here’s my only pickup of the month so far.

got my MegaMan box from iam8bit. Most likely... not going to open it though (not even the shipping box, it's closed by a level select code sticker). But dang it, I want to know if I got the 1/8 chance for the blue cart =P

Lol, yeah. I fully intend to get a Switch (already own 8-9 games). Also I got the import (and more on the way) because it is a Shmup which is by fay my favorite yet very niche genre. That and I love the Psyvariar games on DC/PS2

I must of bought 20 something PS4 games before I finally picked up a PS4. No harm in getting games if you are getting a good deal. ;)

I have about that for the PS4 and I don't own that either! Even so PSVR games!

Too lazy to take a picture, but I did something that I haven't done in a long time. I bought and and currently playing through a "modern" FPS, Call of Duty WWII. For the most part I'm enjoying it. The actual FPS gameplay is great. I'm happy to see them get back to the WWII era that I used to love. All of the extra crap they included like the quick time events I could do without. Also, the single player campaign is pretty short since the game was designed primarily for multiplayer. Overall, I like it, but I'm glad I didn't pay more than $8 for it.
Lately, I've actually been on a FPS kick, but I've mostly been playing what I consider "traditional" FPS games. Games like Doom 2016, Bioshock, and the recent Wolfenstein reboot (New Order, Old Blood, New Colossus). The Wolfenstein games are what specifically got me into the mood for a WWII game so I figured I would give COD a shot.

Where did you get Cod WW2 for 8 bucks?

GameStop with rewards discount and some coupons (used of course).

I can't stand current FPS controls. I need them to get back to the GoldenEye/ Perfect Dark method of one analog stick to move my guy. I can't get used to two sticks to control one guy.

I can make ya a replica if you want. Already made myself a full set of iam8bit carts :P

I think you are relatively alone on this...

Yeah... sorry man... 1 stick does move the guy... the other stick controls the camera. Can't move your thumbs properly?
-
I don’t even like FPS games, but 2 sticks is the only way.

I have no rythem. Can't move sny of my body parts in sync. If I try to canoe, I tip the damn boat. Can't swim or dance either. In any case, I think FPS should control the same as third person games.

They do. The second thumbstick only controls the camera, nothing else. 3rd person games do the same thing, you're just seeing a different perspective and can see more of what's going on around you. I understand what you're saying, but the old way you're referring to required toggling the sights to look anywhere but straight ahead, in games that even allow it. FPS games these days require a fair amount of precision. Goldeneye or Doom just had you spraying bullets straight and hope for the best.
Also, how do you play Mario if you can't move and jump at the same time by controlling a direction and the jump button in sync?

I have to get in on this to. Current FPS controls are damn near perfected. i loved them ever since Halo (?) started to change them to current standards.

More stuff...

I grew up playing a lot of FPS using a d-pad or single stick setup. So I'll admit that when the modern, "Halo" style control setup became common place, I had a very difficult time getting used to it. It was the main reason why I didn't play FPS for almost 10 years. But now I can't see playing them any other way.

Got this in the mail and SOOOO Happy! ;D

At first glance I thought this was a Raspberry Pi but it is not. Is it an upscaler?

Couple of flea market finds. Finally found me a ROB. He's missing pretty much everything but he does work. Pretty much just going to be hanging out on a shelf anyway. Also over paid a bit for Simpsons as I got confused between Road Rage and Hit and Run lol. At least it's supposed to be a good crazy taxi clone.

Some recent things from the other side of the pond. Gunhound EX which is a Assault Suit Leynos type game which only got a physical release in Japan. The digital version just got removed from all platforms so this is the only way to play it now. Also, SWIV which is a European exclusive shmup.

Snagged a 3D printer today! It's the TEVO FLash (which might I add is SUPER quite compared to others). I new to printing, so I'm still learning to use it but I absolutely love having this on my workbench!
