I haven't seen much of anyting besides hospital wallpaper for about week now and phone calls, texts, and occasional web surfing have been steadily killing my phone's battery about 2-3 times a day :/ I'm so effing beat. Need to eat some frosted mini wheats and go to bed.
Did pretty good on ebay with this one. Took an extreme chance on a listed as untested Sega Nomad. I knew from the past a lot of trouble with them comes from the ac port. Sure enough I got this one and if you moved the ac adapter enough it powered on. Biggest problem came from some dumb tard that managed to strip a security bit screw....... had to drill out around it so that hole is no good for a screw anymore. Best part of all the Nomad only cost me $29.50 shipped. Next up for it will probably be a new screen but that will come when I feel ambitious. Now to make or find a battery pack for this thing..... would love to bring it to college with me.
I also got this stuff in today. Haven't tested the Gamecube games yet their all from Gamestops 75% gamecube games and Gears of War Judgement is free thanks to the Lipton Brisk contest. Don't really want it though so up for trade it goes.

Also this talk of Nomads makes me want to find mine. Pretty sure I still have it...somewhere.[/QUOTE]
I love having a nomad. Had one in the past but it broke. Just gotta find a battery/make one. Would love to go portable with it.
Got the urge to pick up some PS1 games and Xbox 1 stuff and it all went horribly wrong (read: right.) I haven't been a proper "collector" in about 7 years b/c of school, but now i'm bored.
--Pink DSi - sears clearance for $45
--Vita A/C - same, for $3
--New Xbox-S - $10 at local store
--The Xbox-S goes with the modded Xbox with 120gb HDD I got off Craigslist for $55 (not pictured...too heavy to move without a forklift)
--Hori EX2 controller for the 360 on the right - excellent d-pad for those who like cross-style over saturn style
--Blade Runner by William Burroughs somehow made it in the pic, but yeah, i bought that too (fun fact: the movie Blade Runner got its name from the Burroughs book, which was a supposed screenplay for another book called Blade Runner, but the movie Blade Runner is based on Do Androids Dream Of Electric Sheep, by philip k dick. got all that?)
Here's where the fun starts!
--Castlevania Dawn of Sorrow (GH) -$15
--CV: Portrait of Ruin - $12
--Slim case games: Gekido, Crusader: No Remorse, and Battle Arena Toshinden 2 - $1 to $2 each
--Valkyrie Profile - mint/complete - $68

--Silhouette Mirage - mint/complete - $18
--Tekken 3 - non-gh - m/c - $3
--DDR: Konamix - non-gh m/c - $1
--Star Wars: Masters of Teras Kasi - m/c $5
--Soul of the Samurai - $6
--Tenchu 1 + 2 - $10
--Fear Effect 1 - m/c - $5
--Kagero: Deception 2 - m/c - $5
--Killing Zone - $3
--Project Overkill - $3
--Tomorrow Never Dies - $2
--Rival Schools - m/c - $28
all bought from various places - ebay, amazon, people on other forums, local used media shops, half price books.
Not pictured but on the way--
--Ehrgeiz - m/c - $25
--Tobal 1 - m/c - $14
--Einhander - m/c - $40
special thanks to the Neogaf PS1 appreciation thread for spurring this binge. I bought Star Wars and Killing Zone b/c kusoge is great
Now to go play...guess which one...
Resident Evil 4 on the ps3 after putting all these up on my shelf. Good to be a collector again

Why so much Ethernet? Buy a repeater, place it near the last known good spot of the wifi signal, and it will increase the range by half in that direction.
[quote name='N3UROP0D']Don't feel bad, One Piece is frickin' amazing. But now you've reminded me that I'm two volumes behind.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if this series ends with 100+ volumes.[/QUOTE]
I only have the first 27 volumes and the one in this one in the pic because it was only $6 on amazon. Im a little sad because usually my pick ups are a lot more and yes one piece is epic.
[quote name='MrNinjaSquirrel']this is kinda what I hate about anime. There are so many great shows, but they go on/have been going on so long, that I have no clue where to begin.
I mean, when will I ever catch up on 100+ volumes[/QUOTE]
not every anime/manga is that long but when its really good like one piece you will just keep on watching.
I used to love One Piece, but eventually stopped paying much attention to it. Then Shonen Jump skipped to Impel Down and I couldn't tell WTF was going on by the time Whitebeard made the scene. Haven't really kept up with it since and have no real desire to go back.

wow marineford and saboady were 2 of the best arcs in one piece. i would say go back and read marineford it was epic when whitebeard appeared trust me.
[quote name='elessar123']Wireless N600, I get a little over 2 MB/s, versus 125 MB/s on gigabit. So yes, slow.
Edit: Ok, 117 MB/s on gigabit.[/QUOTE]
Then your doing something wrong... And by the way it is mbps not MBps.
Your wireless receiver must either be old, or you have screwed up settings. Even when I used old wireless stuff back in the day, I got 50mbps. That was back when it was a/b only.

No, it's MBps. And there's no way you got 50 mbps on a/b/g, because the real limit is something like 18 mbps per direction, if you have one and only one thing connected.

Ok, you seem to be confused on how your connection strength is truly rated.
Your connection is rated by Megabits (Mb - correction from my previous post), NOT MegaBytes (MB). Capitalization makes a world of difference. And no, I did have a 50Mbps connection with my a/b/g connection back in the day (cap back then was 54Mbps).
Anyway, you must have been talking download / upload speed then. In which case, your still doing it wrong, and besides N isn't the best anymore, unfortunately.
Honestly tho I think it comes down to whatever you are using to receive the signal rather than transmitting if your only getting a 2Mbps connection rate.

That just sounds like you're realizing you're wrong, not me. Wireless N is still the de facto leader, because 802.11ac is not finalized.
[quote name='StryderOmega']Honestly tho I think it comes down to whatever you are using to receive the signal rather than transmitting if your only getting a 2Mbps connection rate.[/QUOTE]
Once again, I didn't typo. I didn't say 2Mbps. You chose to read it that way. 802.11n has a THEORETICAL maximum of 300 mbps on 2.4 GHz. Real world speeds is a maximum of like 100 mbps for the best equipment, and closer to 50 mbps for consumer products. This is also only true if and only if you have only one device connected.
As I'm typing this, I'm wondering "who the cares?"
From Craigslist. Only really wanted the Rock Band guitar, but the guy didn't want to split it up. For $15, I think it was a decent deal, and brings me one step closer to moving all my rock band stuff from wii to 360

Ethernet is so stone age, haha.[/QUOTE]
We find wired to be more reliable than wireless, especially since she streams a lot of tv shows.

Nice pick up. I love the strum on the Xplorer I do way better on songs with that but the buttons on the strat are way better haha.
Since you guys are arguing about wireless and stuff.
Which kind of wireless router would you recommend?
I'm looking for a new once since my current one which is a like a $30 Belkin router doesn't even connect to my phone unless I'm in the same room. My house isn't even big either.
My newest D-link had good ratings on Cnet, but I sort of hate it as it randomly decides that it won't go to certain, obscure sites like Yahoo mail, and some place called google ???
Not often, but once a month or so I have to restart it so I can back to those really niche sites that are really of no importance.

Have you played Gekido? If so, is there a level with waves or rising water levels or some such? For years, I've been trying to remember a fighting game that came out for either N64 or PS1. The only thing I can remember about it is that the commercial or preview I saw showed a small group of characters fighting each other while trying to escape a flood or tidal wave. I wanted it so bad back then, but I can't remember what the hell it was. I do remember it having a one-word Japanese title like Gekido, though.

For a few years now, I've been using a $40 Belkin router and I have no complaints. I can connect to it from anywhere on our property...down the street as well. Sounds like you should've spent 10 more dollars!

I use an Netgear N600, and it works pretty well. Also has support for 5.6Ghz mode, and only cost about $70 or so a couple years ago (so should be cheaper now).

i only played one level last night (it actually seems like a decent brawler.) but a quick google search says there is a flood stage in the game.
Built my house a few years ago and wired it with ethernet.
Its faster (dont care what you say about wireless, its not as consistent fast as Gigabit), more secure, and not everything comes with wifi (such as bluray players).
Also all of this speed talk is nonsense anwyays, even g wifi is fast enough to stream HD video, the only time gigabit or really fast wifi even matter is when you are transferring large files over a network, and how often does one do that?
Nice, Kuroneko is cool!
I have a ton of figures (for her I think I have the kotobukiy one, maybe others, and the figma/nendoroid), but generally avoid the swimsuits ones. Just think they are cuter with clothes.
Gotta start early on reboxing training
cares?"
