For those not in the know:

Okay...
 

On my desk, I have a NISDB (new in slightly dented box) Saturn, and loose carts of Secret of Mana, Super Mario Kart and Super Metroid, along with some arrrrrrrrr!-worthy discs as throw-ins.

PM me your price and if I think it's not outrageously high, you gots yourself a deal.

Oh man.

I saw a commercial last night for Rainbow Six 3. Tone, you and me need to get it + Xbox Live. Oh my lord.

(IGN gave it a 9.3. For the uninitiated, IGN is HARD on games. "This game is awesome! I've never had so much fun! 8.3" A 9.3 is awesome.)

Good freaking lord.

OK but first I need a job.

I know, I know.

Yay!

Big package arrival today. Three in total. Here's what arrived:

- A very sexy Neo Geo Pocket Color. It's kind of a platinum blue. This thing is <b>cool</b>. I haven't done more than set the date and I am impressed. Very comfortable to hold and the directional stick is awesome. This is the newest addition to my handheld collection, which currently is 1 GameBoy Advance "Glacier", 2 GameBoy Advance SP "Fire" and "Platinum", a Sega GameGear and now the Neo Geo Pocket Color. Hey, at least the GameGear had Sonic...

- Cardfighter's Clash, Capcom edition. I'm really really <b>really</b> looking forward to playing this. Later tonight. Hoooo boy.

- Another SNES deck. Just 'cause. I have three now. One is horribly discolored. It was driving me nuts.

- NBA Jam Tournament Edition for Sega Genesis, new and sealed in box. For $4, how can you go wrong? I love this game.

- F-Zero for Super Nintendo, new and sealed in box. $5. It's $6 used at GameStop. I kid you not. I had a hell of a fun time with this as a kid, so it was worth it. My Super Nintendo collection is starting to grow...

- Perfect Dark for N64. This is another game that got awesome reviews pretty much everywhere. It sounded pretty good. $6 new and sealed. It's like $10 at GameStop used...

- A whole lot of Saturn games (11). Total, about $30. Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 included. The rest are mostly sports games. I figured I'd give them a shot, and if they sucked, I could always sell 'em. All brand new, of course.

I am really looking forward to lunch, so I can whip out this NGPC and start playing. It's an awesome size for a handheld.

Any other good games I should get for this, vsp? I'm willing to try anything once.

IGN's review of the GTA double pack on Xbox:

http://xbox.ign.com/articles/457/457994p1.html

Summation: If you have an Xbox and haven't played GTA 3 or GTA: VC, go freaking buy this RIGHT FREAKING NOW. If you haven't played GTA 3 or GTA:VC and don't have an Xbox, go buy this and an Xbox RIGHT FREAKING NOW. If you have a PS2 and an Xbox, and own both of the games on PS2, and want to see how they are when they're done right, go buy this RIGHT FREAKING NOW. If you're Dave Ham, this is a great excuse to spend $50, so go buy this RIGHT FREAKING NOW.

Oh yeah, and the load times are basically gone. Thank Christ.

(It sure does look purdy. I will buy this and start raving about it in approximately one week.)

Holy Poop! I want to play this freaking Neo Geo Pocket Color so bad. It's got a design that just makes me want to hold it. Good lord.

I'm gonna get SNK vs Capcom: Match of the Millennium and Sonic Pocket Adventure. IGN gave them both a <b>10</b>, up there with Ocarina of Time and Soul Calibur. They both sound right up my alley.

Man. I might have to get another one and a link cable so I can play with friends. That, or vsp needs to move to NoVA and he and I can buy a warehouse and turn it into a super gaming center. Mwahahahaha! (Oh yeah, and play Cardfighter's Clash against each other, so I can get my ass handed to me.)

I hope I ride the Metro home today so I have a good excuse to play this for an hour and a half. Hehe. MAN! I haven't been this freaking excited over a handheld for a long long time.

Check <a href="http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/product/237463.asp">this offer</a> out, then. (SNK vs. Capcom: Match of the Millennium, Sonic, Last Blade and Puzzle Bobble for the NGPC, forty bucks from EB.) Beats tracking them down separately.

I already bid on the two games for a total of $16, but should that fall through (doubtful - they aren't exactly selling like hotcakes), I'll probably pick that up.

I attempted to shoot you an email, if your email address is [username of your netaxs web account]@netaxs.com.

Yep, that's my "main" email address, but it's largely overrun by spam at this point. (Procmail keeps it at a dull roar, but when I checked my inbox just now, I had your message, 60+ spams that hadn't been caught, and a couple of hundred that were. This happens when you've had the same USENET-capable email address for nine years.)

I'll send you an email tonight from a somewhat saner alternative.

Well, I won my first game. Against whoever it is that I play my first game against in Cardfighter's Clash. I can definitely see myself getting addicted to this. Hehe.

I really really <b>really</b> like how this feels in my hands. I'll definitely be expanding my game library for it, because it's a console I'm going to enjoy playing.

Color me very impressed.

So, like, I beat Nori. So I'm 2 for 2 right now. I'm sure I'm gonna start losing pretty soon, unfortunately. But man... I really really <b>really</b> like this game.
