Serpentor

I'm a regular blood donor and I do it for free...  I'm appalled by the CAG jokes, it's not very funny.  I know you guys have too much time on your hand, but a little civility to encourage a much needed donation is appreciated.

For those of you never have donated blood before.  There's a rigorous questionnaire before you start and they'll prick your finger to get a small sample to analyze your blood is good or not.  It's definitely not one of those things where you walk in and donate on the spot, if you're not healthy, you can't help even you really want to.  There's a shortage (almost always) because good O+ and especially O- are rare...  When an ER patient comes in and needs blood, there's no time to figure out the blood type, hence O- is used.

Got my Gamestop Indiebox steelbooks. 10 in one smallish busted, half torn bubble mailer. 5 pounds this weighs and it's in a damn bubble mailer. And I thought Amazon was ridiculous. 

Hard to believe... My 10 steelbooks are separated into two shipments.  I got the first package, all nine of them are pristine (shipped in a box, there's no way to ship them in a bubble mailer, you got to be an idiot to do that and I doubt the mailer will survive the trip).  For $10 a piece, they're a beauty and I don't even collect PC games (by the way, these steelbooks are G2 sized).

Question:  Is the Kickstarter pledge for Battle Princess Madelyn closed?  I can't find the pledge button...

Sigh... I have no problem with opinionated comments on reselling or flipping, but come on man, it's freaking cancerous.  The whole point of this thread is to inform and discuss upcoming projects, let's just stick to that yeah?  Somebody please create a separate thread for OT discussions, this way if someone starts to say the same shit again, just point to that link.

New LRG interview, ENJOY!

 

https://bigcheshireg...ited-run-games/

Thanks for posting this, I actually enjoyed reading the interview, learned a few things about LRG's Doug and Josh, really cool guys.

I got mines within hours from both orders (one with VIP code and the other with WIN code), pretty happy with my experience.  Oh, I paid with PayPal and no tax of course.

Edit - forgot to say that the orders were for PS+.

If the Vita cartridges end, I don't see myself buying LRG's PS4 disc either (honestly, a lot of those titles are offered by PS+).  I bought the PS4 version with the Vita copy to save shipping (I could've save more by not doing that of course, but I feel like LRG should be loved for what they're doing).

Anyway, on the topic of failed deliveries... It's not the norm, but shit happens...  When my packages are delivered to the wrong house, I never get them back, tough shit.  However, when I get other people's packages, I always give them back.  There was one time, a UPS truck dropped off a big ass package (heavy as , like 20 lbs or something), the correct address was 10 blocks away, I personally drove over and delivered the package myself.  There were smaller packages as well, usually next door or next street over, I corrected those too.  However, most of the time, it was the letters, sandwiched between my mails.  Those too, I promptly dropped them off.  You see, even though I don't get my packages back, I still do this, because it's the right thing to do.  And yes, it's still a waste of space post, thanks for reading.

Good, more copies for the rest of us. [emoji2]

Shitty post...  Example of wasting space, I'm wasting space just to prove a point.  What is this "us"?  You can't buy extra copies, so you can't have more copies, fucking hoarder/scalper mentality.  If a person posts what he/she likes from LRG, at least that's more meaningful than your shitty post.

How is this a better buy?  A meager $5 saving but with one CD less?

If you're planning to buy both, PS4 and Vita, like I am, isn't it a better deal to buy them separately than the combined bundle?  Yes, it's $5 more, but you're getting two music CD with jewel case (which worth $15 using the LRG price point).  I think the bundle should be $14.99 less, it's fair price that way.

But not available for shipping, check stores only...  It's a pretty good game for that price.

Not really into this Funko Pop thing, but did a little research on the older series.  Okay, it does have crap loads of figures, but that's because it covers pretty much any pop culture topics.  However, it doesn't look like it makes a complete set of figures for a particular series (or at least most of the main/popular characters).  So, I take my previous comment back, Akuma Funko Pop is not likely to happen.  Thanks for the post, but I'll collect something else.  I do have Big Daddy and Songbird Pops, I think those two are pretty darn cool.

More trophies as a reward would be nice, but having a separate trophy list is a terrible idea.  The whole point is to compare and show off achievements.  If the achievements are the same between two copies, they should share the same list for comparison.  You shouldn't get two of the same trophy for doing the same thing twice, just because you got two copies.

 

Nothing I hate more than different regions of a same game having separate lists for identical achievements.  Totally clutters things up and is fake/exploitative.

Disagree completely...  How's this clutter/fake/exploitative?  You still have to play the game to unlock everything.  As a matter of fact, even your own saves won't work, you have to start all over, so how's this fake/exploitative?  How's this any different from playing a game from scratch again?  It's like saying you shouldn't play a game again once you beat it 100% (why do you care if you get reward it or not?).  And oh, by your logic, all remastered games are clutter/fake/exploitative too then?  You're not making any sense...

LRG Rainbow Moon for instance, you can't even use your PSN version's save to continue...  Of course the whole point is to show off achievements/trophies - I got LRG Rainbow Moon and I opened the forsaken seal! (okay I haven't open my copy yet, but I'll play it at some point).

Soldner-X2 has it too, with an added platinum trophy.

You're absolutely right!  I forgot about about that one (do have the LRG Soldner-X2 Vita game, still sealed at the moment).  In this case, LRG version is better, it has a platinum trophy where the digital version doesn't!

The value of Soldner-X2 and Rainbow Moon will hold, not only they're good games, they're truly LRG unique (a grail among trophy hunters as well as sealed OCD collectors).
