In a completely arbitrary chang of events, I just got accepted to my college tonight...and I'm still excited, and I'm posting this as a place for everyone to praise me! I'M IN BABY!

UMASS Darmouth, j'y viens!

I found this site on the web that sells replicas of guns found in animes, some of them are simply incredible. Unfortunately due to American gun controls laws these guns cannot be sold in the US.

Here are some pics of some the better guns:

*dodges stones* Well, I thought it was a fun game when I rented it back in the day.

Actually, there was a shitload of dirt-cheap used N64 games at EB. I might have to splurge and also pick up Goldeneye 007 for $15...

Has anyone else found good deals lately?

I challenge that by raising you THIS!

Expected, I guess... but still dissapoining that they cancelled ALL of the serieses... :(

I just got mine in the mail today. Master Quest is pretty cool. It's exactly the same as OoT except the dungeon puzzles are different which makes it a bit more challenging because I don't know exactly what to do everytime. It also has some cool preview videos but, unfortunately, nothing from Capcom. The F-Zero video is awesome.

Quote:In `Tornado Alley', you take control of one of the most powerful forces that Mother Nature can throw at us, a Tornado, and guide it to do as much damage as possible, without running out of wind power.

To keep your twister alive you'll need to follow the contours of the landscape, watching for thermals and building up the power of your cyclone with the right balance of warm and cold air. Cars and trailers can even be picked up to give ammunition to the vortex, to be churned around inside before being spat out with huge destructive force.

There are no other games like this, and hence there are no comparisons to be made. Unfortunately there was no movie released for this game. We do have some artwork of the game though!

Just curious, but did anybody figure out what it says? No, don't guess- I want correct spelling! I'll give you a hint, the letters are not one of the 3 Japanese character sets. First one with correct spelling gets something cool.

We need access to Yatta in this new forum!

Linky, someone post a linky!

The Freeloader is shipping!!

Quote:Now Shipping! At long last!
Datel's Freeloader disc is the first product released that claims to allow all-region GameCube compatibility with absolutely no internal hardware modifications. Just put the Freeloader disc in, let the system boot it up, and then switch out with your favorite game.

PAL software running on US or JPN hardware will reportedly run at 50Hz, rather than the NTSC standard of 60Hz.

There are three methods for playing import software:

1- Direct boot of Freeloader from power up, remove Freeloader, insert import 2- Power up Gamecube, drop Freeloader, select Gameplay option, insert import 3- Direct boot Freeloader, press Z button to select region of import, insert import

Datel has acknowledged a problem with PAL GC consoles playing the USA version of Resident Evil Zero, but there is no word on a fix or workaround. This the only game at this time reported to have issues.

It looks like the days of installing a switch in your GameCube to play imports are long gone.
