Yesterday I Bought II: Many Things

Ah, I should have specified that it was the book. I've never seen the film. But maybe that'll be a good followup.

The book and film are different beasts - the film's almost a dark comedy at points, but the book is brutal in terms of its content. Both excellent, though.

Everyone else loved Endless Ocean.  I thought it could bore off.

Played it for an hour last night and it's incredibly boring. I thought it might have a Pilotwings-like quality to it, or provide some enemies akin to Ecco the Dolphin on the Dreamcast, but nope. Just learning about fish and wildlife. It's like they built a game around the scanning thing in Metroid Prime.

I always liked Endless Ocean.

I got a copy of this today in the post

From the good ol' USA

I think it's slightly diffenrt to the PAL version which came with the Limited Edition Wind Waker but not 100% sure but it's more Zelda stuff, I may do a Zelda collection vid at the end of March when TPHD & HWL are here.

Went out and got Naruto 4 and Gravity rush. Which I'm now debating on which to play first

Bravely second ost, sword art online ost, Mario Kart 8 and its assorted dlc, and of course Corrin.  The last two I've already talked about to varying degrees, the picture being mail arrivals today.

This turned up today

Yesterday this came


Which means I now only have 23 PAL Dreamcast games to go and NBA Hoopz gives me 220 Dreamcast games in total.

I'm tempted as I'm so close to the end to sell my Mega Drive version of Pier Solar as I own it on Dreamcast and Wii U also might get it on VITA if that ever happens as I reckon that could be one of the best places to play it. And to sell my Sacred Lines also on Mega Drive which I can play on STEAM as both of those would get me £140 and then I would reinvest all £140 on Dreamcast games.

Not sure if I did do that to go for the cheaper ones and get myself down to like 8 games to go or buy one or two of the expensive ones and get them out of the way.

I'd go for the cheaper ones, as when you are left with the few expensive buggers, they'll always be expensive (at this point). There will also be a greater sense of achievement as you edge closer to the full set, rather than buying the expensive ones, and then completing the set by buying 10 games at once. If that makes sense.

I recently bought the following on the 3DS eshop:

Super Mario Bros. 3
Mario Golf (Gameboy Color)
Pullblox

I get what you mean, when the last game is Canon Spike it be like YES! I've done it instead of Buzz Lightyear, 90 Minutes, Super Runabout and Wetrix+ being the last few as you say it doesn't sound as exciting.

That is the best cover art I've ever seen for a video game, hands down!  



Meanwhile I bought, quiet literally yesterday, Doctor Who Time of the Doctor and series 8 on blu-ray, Fire Emblem and Fire Emblem sacred stones on wii u vc, Shin Megami Tensei 4 on 3ds eshop (even though I've no intention on playing it right now at $13 you literally cannot say no to that bargain), and Bayonetta for Smash 4. Mostly digital and mail orders so no pics this time.

Wetrix+ should be the first game anyone has on the Dreamcast. Superb game. I'd say get that, keep Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi, and flush the rest down a big, giant toilet.

Uh, draw out all the 1s and 0s or it didn't happen, please.

At least you've got the things you've digitally bought. I just did a load of pre-orders...

I need Wetrix+ actually also I do kinda agree with you a bit about some of the games but there's about 70+ good to great games on the Dreamcast. It really hard to do my Top 25 article for the systems 16th birthday, still the Dreamcast has best games overall quality of games ever compared to other systems.

I played a demo of Wetrix once. No idea what was going on.

"Noo... Lakesh"

Right - really, Mr. Computer voice? *shrug*

Spoilered for size:

Well, I say 'bought' - got me a £5 Clubcard voucher and the DVD cost £5. What's better than a Dara O Briain DVD? A free Dara O Briain DVD.

Jo and I saw this tour - the funniest he's been in years.

Dara O'Brien is alright. He actually makes jokes, which is nice in a comedian these days.

Me again, with


That's a new Dreamcast game that came out in 2015 and published by Hucast, the strange things about it is that it's actually not made for the Dreamcast, it's a indie game ported over from the Jaguar CD.

Mate... I'm still convinced you only own one set of bedsheets...

Go back a page and you can see on the 28th I posted a picture of LEGO Dimensions which has the other bed-sheets on.

My phone camera is terrible, but you might be able to see that I bought a second PS4 pad specifically for local SFV (and because hopefully I'll get into Nottingham Uni, and playing Fifa or something is a great way to get to know people)

And Rainbow Six Seige - which I've heard really good things about. Not helping my backlog though.

Nottingham, eh? As a card-carrying Forest fan, I can recommend the city. It's got the National Videogame Arcade, for one, and a thriving'n'lovely StreetPass community too.

He's only going to Nottingham so he can drink at the King Billy.

I'll be interested to see your thought on rainbow 6 whenever you get around to trying it, for me it's easily one of the best FPS games in years. I also need to pick myself up a new ps4 pad to replace my semi-broken one.

I played few a couple of the training missions yesterday, Jas. It's definitely a way more involved shooter than anything I typically play and I struggled on some of the missions I did even, on normal mode. I like how each mission is designed to teach a new aspect of the gameplay though, and the premise of the game is really cool. I'll get online once I suck less.

Nottingham is the tip-top of my postgrad choices because it's the top ranked American Studies MA Uni, generates a lot of employment that involves travelling/living in the U.S., it's near a lot of old uni friends, and Drunka's right the King Billy is also there. If I do get in there I'll be sure to check out that fancy sounding arcade!

The training is good for knowing how the operators work but I'd say learning & getting better will only happen from playing online.
