So glad I grew up at the time where SNES emulators were already a thing. The worst experience with beating FFVI for me was figuring out how to move Snes9x save files to ZSNES when the former stopped working on my new computer for some reason.

The best part of blockbuster was renting a game that had like all the best equipment and stuff on the file already cause then little child version of you can get the satisfaction of finally beating Culex and his bastard crystals even though you're too stupid to do it otherwise

Not quite the same thing, but back when I used Xbox Live a lot as a teenager I'd sometimes get matched with someone on like Resident Evil 5 or Dead Island who'd be like "hold up a sec" and then give you a hacked infinite ammo ak47 just like out of the kindness of their hacking heart- my 360 save of Dead Island probably still has my infinite ammo pistols and poo poo on it.

You fight Scarmiglione the second time before you become a paladin. Turn in your nerd card.

Anybody remember the OUYA? Sort of a saga because a single goon, who seemed obsessed with doomed to fail gaming Kickstarters, tried to promote it as the console of the future

OUYA - Half as successful as the original PlayStation.

quote:

Hot drat, I finally found some pre-order info to discuss.
http://m.computerandvideogames.com/9136/us-dreamcast-orders-pass-200000
Dreamcast managed 200,000+. PS1 managed 100,000+.

OUYA had 57,000+ by the end of the Kickstarter. They have more now. They will have more by the time it releases. I knew you guys were always being loving ridiculous by comparing sales numbers to pre-orders, but I didn't realize it would be that close. Yeah, it's not gonna be competitive against the big three, but if those pre-order numbers are indicative of sales, it's certainly enough to form a user base.

"Half as successful as the original PlayStation" seems downright decent.

It was later revealed that the poster thought it would be a massive success because when trying to play flash browser games on a regular computer it would run too slow (also they had 100+tabs open at all times)

OUYA - hey does anyone remember the N-gage, whatever happened to that thing

The first time I moved when I was a kid my friend and I were borrowing games from each other and we forgot to make the switch back. I think he had my copy of Dragon Warrior and I had his copy of Bomberman but I can't really remember for sure (I own both games now so whatever I lost I just replaced at some point).

When I was a kid I had rented some game and we put it in the dropbox to return it, and the store kept calling us and saying we never returned it. Eventually they said they found it, but that we had put it in the wrong place because it was an old dropbox that they weren't checking anymore (but it was still open to accept games and wasn't marked as closed in any way). They actually still tried to charge us late fees for the weeks it took their dumb asses to find it. My dad told them to gently caress off and we just starting going to another store.
