A guy on eBay lamented the fact that PS1 RPGs had up to 4 discs "showing their devotion", whereas PS2 games (which he is implying are inferior) usually only had 1 and "most likely had room to spare." He also used the wrong "there" instead of "their" at one point. At least, I think he did, the whole sentence doesn't really make much sense with ( Read more... )

I've been collecting playstation games since the release of Final Fantasy VII. It was very slow at first. I was young and didn't have a lot of money. I first started adding to it significantly when I was in Waterloo. I bought a few games at a pawn shop called buynsell in Kitchener and I ended up buying a lot from a guy on Craigslist. The first ( Read more... )

I have found that there are two ways to get very good deals on eBay when you're looking for something. One involves some luck, but they both invlove a little effort. Before I tell you about how I get very good deals, let me tell you about how I get good deals. This involves no luck, only some effort and assumes you are not in a hurry to get the ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned before, I have been getting games shipped to Seattle. I plan to pick them up and stay for 48 hours so that I can bring them back across the border tax + duty free. I've been very careful to stay under the $400 (CAD) limit that I'm allowed to bring back. However, $400 Canadian has recently changed from being worth ~$405 USD, to ( Read more... )

Picked up an AMAZING deal on Lunar 2 today. Got it for $54 including shipping. This is the total package. It comes with all the extras. The map, the standees, the pendant, soundtrack. Everything.

With another trip to Seattle in the works, I've gone on another game buying binge. The follwoing games are all in transit to, or possibly already at, lost_luck's apartment ( Read more... )

My latest conquest has been beating Final Fantasy (the remake for PS1, which is very true to the original). I chose fighter, black belt, white mage black mage as my party. It took me about 14 hours to finish. This game will always have a certain nostalgia for me as it was the first game I ever bought. I remember finding it in a clearance bin ( Read more... )

I wonder how often the light warriors got laid. The mystic key opens up many doors, right?

Legend of Mana is a unique RPG experience. The plot consists of several dozen mini quests to complete. Some of the quests are related to each other and must be completed in a certain order, others can be completed in any order, or even not at all. The lack of a cohesive plot makes the game feel unstructured and I had a hard time becoming invested ( Read more... )

Alright, I admit it, I played video games in the past week. But it's okay, since I wasn't actually taking a week off of video games. I was taking a week-long cruise. On the way to the cruise ship I swung by Rob's place and picked up the 12 games that were waiting for me. For the most part everything was good, but one of the games looks like it ( Read more... )
