If you like calming, then this will be perfect for you. You literally can't die. It's so stress-free.

If you like calming puzzle games that you can't die with a decent storyline, you should try Pneuma: Breath of Life. It's pretty good, to bad it's DL only.
What are you looking at? You think baby's don't like video games? THEN YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT ABOUT BABIES!!

No pics but here's what I've picked up so far this year:

Professor Layton and the Last Specter
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future (Finally completing the Professor Layton set)
TMNT IV: Turtles In Time

I've been pretty casual about collecting so far and I don't think I'm going to ramp it up for 2016. I really only focus on games that I had as a kid so I'm not going for a full set of any one console/generation. Looking to finally get my hands on a gray box NES and fill out my NES shelf in the next couple of months.

I'll have to check it out if I ever get a current gen system.
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

Been wanting to try this game for a while.  Was very happy to find a physical copy for cheap.



Curious how you feel about the trio. Let us know when you've played them all. I loved all 3, but especially Journey and Flower. Great narrative with VERY little going on. Wish more games were that sublime...

Right now it's too early to saw as I only got to play for a few minutes (more of  test to make sure it worked since it was bought used).  But it really seems right up my alley.  I love these games with little to no dialogue.  Games like Ico or Limbo are just so calming.  It's almost like taking a well needed break from more traditional gaming. 

Speaking of Limbo, I bought it a while back and loved it.  I played it most of the way through, and then due to circumstances unrelated to the game, I wasn't able to play it for a while and I sort of forgot about it and never finished it.  Well the other night I figured I would jump back in.  About 3 minutes later I had the game beat.  Kind of funny that I was so close to finishing the game in the first place and just forgot about it.  Luckily enough time has passed that I can probably play it again from the start.

I've been thinking about importing the PS4 version.  Whish they would have released the physical version in the US...

I know it's on XB1, but I think it's on XB360 also.

Importing the PS4 version of what?  Limbo?  If so, it's available in hard form on the 360.


I love trades :)

I vaguely remember you saying that you weren't a fan of Nintendo's NES themed 3DS, so if that's still the case, I'll take it off your hands.   ;)

I'm kidding of course, I know you must collect all hardware now.  I look forward to seeing your full 3DS collection whenever it's complete.

I hope you get more enjoyment out of it then I have. 

Mine is still in the original box.  All of the Vita games I own are not compatible with it except for Retro City Rampage. 

For the price I paid for it (including PS3 controller and memory card) I couldn't pass it up, I just wish they supported it more.

LOL!  Yeah, it's even weaker in person :P

But, as you said, I've become a hardware junkie. Just wait til you seem some of the nutso stuff I have coming my way.  Can't wait :)

Also gonna finally get around to selling some special edition stands for some of the 3DS & New 3DS systems. Have about 10 different designs so far...




Damn wiggy, nice score!

Thanks!

Pickups from a Toy show yesterday.



Any chance of a high quality scan of Sonic Chronicles?  ;D

The ones I've found aren't great so I haven't printed one for my collection yet.

Sorry, I meant the PS4 version of Journey Collectors Edition

Yeah, I'll try and get it scanned for you.
