Recent acquisitions and ramblings

Still alive, guys! Still alive! Just really, really busy... Still, that didn't prevent me from acquiring a little something for my Saturn Collection. Lo and behold, my very own Saturn light gun!


God knows how long I've been after one of these bad boys, but the prices over here kept me from just jumping in. At last I saw one that was affordable enough for my dwindling wallet. Unfortunately it suffered quite a rough journey, even though I specifically asked the seller to sent it via registered mail, which he did, those monkeys at the post office must have played football with it or something, because they managed to break that part where the hammer would be on a real gun. Shit...

Still, it works like a charm, and that's what really matters in the end, since I bought it to play, not collect. and play I have! I immediately grabbed myself a copy of House of the Dead, and been having a blast, blasting (excuse the redundancy) zombies away. What a gory little game. BTW, do you guys have any suggestions as to what games to play next? I've already played Virtua Cop 1 and 2 to death on the rather great PS2 collection, so I'm looking for something else.

Oh, and I noticed the header up there was out, for some reason the server where the image was hosted deleted it or something. I couldn't find the original file anywhere, but I think it looked like this. Better than just an empty space, I think :)

Ripped Off... Again...



I keep buying stuff off eBay, but I've recently experienced my second Saturn disappointment in the space of a year... First was a Saturn steering wheel that didn't work... (Categorize that as disappointment #No.1)


Next I purchased a bundle off eBay... Virtua Cop, a red Light Gun and a holy grail, Area 51!!!

It cost me about £20 (or more!) for a game I already had (VC) , my 5th Light Gun and a really desired Light Gun title... Area 51! (Imagine my disappointment when said game came back with a huge crack on the disc...Categorize that as disappointment #No.2...)


So instead of trying to recoup my losses, I just went out and spent a further £20 on Area 51 again!

What depresses me is that I could've bought the Wii version of NiGHTS for the same amount of money....

But I didn't! If this disc comes back playable, I'll be happy...

Let's hope I get to shoot alien ass soon...


There's only so much a man can take...
