January 2018 hauls - New stuff of New Year
TDIRunner:
I picked up one of those smart phone VR headsets at Target about 2 months ago. It was on clearance for $10 so I figured why not. It's not fantastic, and I don't really recommend it, but it was a cheap way to test out whether or not I could use VR without getting immediate motion sickness.

So, a friend who I met as a customer years ago sent me the best Xmas gift that I received lol!
Mind you, that’s the automotive white. Not the ceramic or pearl white. As in limited to 500 units per region.

That is pretty. I would love to have a white PS2, PS3 and PS4 (even PSTV), but that's not likely to happen any time soon.

Technically a repost from the December 2017 pickups, but who could not resist sharing this anyway?
and a quote from RecOne himself about his thoughts on this:
--- Quote from: RecOne on January 01, 2018, 08:57:40 AM ---My biggest problems with the joy cons are the lack of a proper d-pad (got a lot of the ACA Neo Geo games) and the poor performance of the left joy con (looses the connection all the time).
The 8bitdo controllers just feel "right" - i also prefer them over the "pro controller" from Nintendo.
The only thing that they are missing is the HD rumble feature (they just have "normal" rumble feature) - but i don't care about that.

I myself mostly use this as a wired X-Input gamepad, as a) I don't have a Nintendo Switch yet and b) wireless X-Input functionality broke on the first day of the New Year. It's a trade off, however, as select Windows programs do support rumble (maybe motion controls as well? We'll see.), say the Dolphin emulator for Wii/GCN games. I also experimented with RetroPie (on a Raspberry Pi 1) and Android functionality (I really need to upgrade.).
