I just got a nice gaming package.
1. SNES PAL system.
2. SNES Game - Might and Magic 2.
3. NES Game - Castlevania 2 Simon's Quest.
The disappointment is that the seller told me that the games were in English language and now I am seeing the Might and Magic 2 cartridge to have the region code NOE (German) and I am pretty sure that the game is locked in German language. That is a big turn off for me and DAMN I hate it when it happens!
On the other hand I LOVE Simon's Quest. This game made me LOVE the open-world genre and it was my first Castlevania game! And finally I have it in my hands! My own personal copy!
Now I just hope that the SNES console and the Castlevania games both work without any issue but I have to wait until I go home tonight
@HobbitGamer Well not region locked but language locked. Either way I think that the Castlevania in in English but the Might and Magic 2 is in German. I will try and sell it or just leave it in the bottom of the collection to be forgotten by time.
As far as CV2 goes there are actually 3 versions of the language. Japanese, English(USA + PAL) and Finnish for some weird reason. Bu I think that the Finnish version is extremely hard to find.
Also I just found that the PAL NES console are 2 different types. Pal A and Pal B. Now I have to open my NES and cut off one leg of the region lock chip to make the console region free. This is so stupid.
Anyone ever get chicken ‘n waffles with chicken strips and make a chicken, waffle, and butter sandwich and dip it in syrup like it’s au jus? It’s delicious. How about a waffle and ice cream sandwich for breakfast? That’s a HOF breakfast in my book.
@HobbitGamer@NintendoByNature - Totally agree on the hilarity. One time I final smashed myself right off the screen to my death. I’m still laughing about that session, even the slow down. It felt like we were playing on an arcade cabinet in 1986. We should make it a weekly priority. It felt good to Smash again, I ignored it for a long time.
@bimmy-lee chicken n waffles Is too good. And yea that was great. It's almost better that we went in with no practice prior. Makes for a good 1st round just jumping all over the stage like madmen.
I can do Wednesday nights at 830 or 9 cst for a good 30-40 minutes weekly.
@antdickens Hmm, interesting. I remember that list, but I don't think I intentionally rated anything. I probably browsed it on my phone and accidentally tapped things while trying to scroll when the dang thing lags and stutters. Touch screens irritate me....
Thanos is special. It's just his thing. We won't tell him about NL's Midnight Channel. He doesn't need to worry about that.....
Wednesdays are typically great for me for some evening game time. Last night was 9:30 for me and Hobbit and 8:30 for NBN, and that worked well for me personally. I can definitely make it an event for a while if you fellas wanna fight. AC might dominate your lives soon though. I think I have to hold off on it this month because I just bought joy con.
@NintendoByNature - All the jumping was amazing. It’s basically my default panic move, “I’m not sure what I should do right now, better JUMP!”
@HobbitGamer - Yeah, that KI cloud stage is always brutal. You had some insane recoveries with Isabelle too, there was one where I was positive you were toast, and then like 20 seconds later you were back!
@bimmy-lee Wait, what? Are you using smileys now? What in the world is going on here? Magically appearing games lists, stoic wrestler fans using emoticons... What is this world coming to...
As for those game ratings: at some point, I wondered if they somehow mixed up my profile with Anti's, because some of these titles are definitely in his list...
@Tyranexx Yeah, pain and distress was maybe a bit too much, but that is what some people feel life is like while being left-handed. But like bimmy, I just see us as masters of adaptation. Not only did we learn to cope, we master stuff and get creative with things that all those righties are still clumsy with...
Oh, and I could hear myself talking verbatim, when you mentioned what you say when sitting next to a rightie...
And yes, somehow I sleepwalked/sleep-typed my way through an ENTIRE GameCube catalog, and even gave them individual ratings.
@Woomy_NNYes To be honest, I don't really expect that my account was hacked, that was just a bit of a joke, but having said that, there ARE pranksters amongst hackers, who just like to annoy, puzzle or even completely drive people insane by changing or adding small things to people's accounts that they themselves know they never did. Not all hackers are out for money or anything. Some just do it for fun, and because they can.
@NotTelevision I'm not expecting everyone's database/games list to be changed, but it isn't really much of a coincidence anymore when multiple people have this occurrence. And are you SURE that ALL of the games on your list have been added and/or rated by you?
@antdickens I already mentioned that, but it still does NOT explain how these games end up on my personal profile, since I rated them in the GameCube article you guys once made, but I did NOT add games to my profile myself, so that does NOT explain how they ended up there, just from me having rated them in an article, and there's lots and lots of games in there that I really don't like or own, so the ratings that "I" supposedly gave them, don't add up. And I'd give Sims and Bratz games a 3, not a 7, because I hate those games.
And what's more, it also does NOT explain how these games are on my "Have" list. I may have rated them, and in a fit of insanity/forgiveness, I may have rated games I don't like a bit more mildly than I normally would, but I only did that in an article, and it would never be more than a 6.
I actually once considered making an actual games list, but then I saw how much work it is, so I ultimately decided against it.
Oh, and I don't forget: I have an elephant's memory. And like I said: this list wasn't there last week, so how the heck I supposedly managed to add and rate SO many games in such a short time span, is beyond me.
And how come my "Have" list only has GameCube games? I own nearly all Nintendo consoles and handhelds, so it's a bit strange that my list only consists of retro software, no?
On a side note: I like to spread rumors? This is the first time I ever wondered what the heck is going on. It's not like this is my default modus operandi. If anything, I'm one of the most factual people you'll never meet, so I don't think I need labeling as a rumor monger...
@Woomy_NNYes Well... not really. It still doesn't explain why these games are in my supposed "Have" list on my profile, because most of these games I rated in that article, are NOT games that I actually own.
And why the hell would games that I rate in an article be automatically added to the games list in my profile? That just makes no sense whatsoever.
'The console wars are like boobs: Sony and Microsoft fight over which ones look the nicest and Nintendo's are the most fun to play with.'
but it still does NOT explain how these games end up on my personal profile, since I rated them in the GameCube article you guys once made, but I did NOT add games to my profile myself, so that does NOT explain how they ended up there, just from me having rated them in an article, and there's lots and lots of games in there that I really don't like or own, so the ratings that "I" supposedly gave them, don't add up.

No, it DOES explain it. When you rate a game, it gets added to your profiles games collection. The logic being, if someone rates a game, they either own it or have owned it, the default being the former. The rating system and game list system is one and the same thing.
Maybe you didn't realise that is how it works, but it is. So yeah, it does explain it
