  1. Sorry about that It does seem to work for others, and I've never had a problem seeing the pics on various browsers/machines. As @spacepup noted maybe its your setup?
  2. I did play the original Coma, and it was an interesting Korean indie, which is what made it actually worth playing in my opinion. The overall horror elements were well done. However, the mechanics were not great, and it got old just always hiding from an enemy you could not hurt. The worst aspect of the game was the very ending sequence, where (if memory serves) it was instant death if you did not do everything exactly right. Overall, the first game was about a 6.0 out of 10 for me. So far the sequel is much more interesting and streamlined -- clearly they learned
  3. Suspect in NYC subway attack that left woman's feet severed was arrested in violent 2017 home invasion https://abcnews.go.com/US/suspect-nyc-subway-attack-left-womans-feet-severed/story?id=107978186 So apparently this Christian Valdez, the man who tried to kill a woman on the subway was arrested in 2017 for -- Valdez is the same man who was arrested in September 2017 for breaking into an apartment in the city's Bronx borough, stabbing a woman who lived there and attempting to throw her 3-year-old daughter off a fire escape, police confirmed to ABC News. Normal Person: How can someone who threatened to murder an innocent 3-year old be on the streets?! NYC: he'll get better, yeah, that's it. Valdez was convicted in 2020 of second-degree attempted assault stemming from the Bronx attack and sentenced to eight years in prison, according to court records reviewed by ABC News. Valdez was released from the Sing Sing Correctional Facility in Ossining, New York, on Jan. 9, 2023, according to records. He was on parole at the time of Saturday's attack. The police everywhere love to say "murders are down" but no one is feeling safer, and how could you, when there's a revolving door for violent offenders -- https://www.nytimes.com/2023/08/04/nyregion/new-york-crime-bernhard-goetz.html Seventy percent of those living in New York City indicated that they were concerned about becoming the victim of a crime, and 17 percent said they had bought a firearm for self-defense during the past 12 months
  4. Can you see pics on other threads? Everything works for me, I'm using Firefox.
  5. How did you like it? How does it compare to say "classic" JRPGs like Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy IV, Grandia etc?
  6. Fair point, but El Salvador is extremely poor -- The poverty rate in El Salvador remains one of the highest in Latin America (28.4% according to 2021 official data). More shocking is that 1.8 million Salvadorans are living in extreme poverty, without access to basic food requirements. Perhaps cryptocurrency will work in El Salvador. But it's certainly not a "first-world" country. Also, I think most of us view cryptocurrency in this light -- https://www.coindesk.com/markets/2023/11/16/cryptocurrencies-have-failed-the-test-of-digital-money-mas-managing-director-says/ But in Menon's opinion, cryptocurrencies have failed the test of digital money because "they have performed poorly as a medium of exchange or store of value, their prices are subject to sharp speculative swings, and many investors in cryptocurrencies have suffered significant losses."
  7. It looks like the Jill of the Jungle CIB in very good condition market has just exploded! Seriously though, you gotta wonder how much an unopened copy is worth...
  8. Interesting! Why did the listing get delisted? Also, what is he trying to sell that he thinks is worth $40k?
  9. Added VGNYSoft and Premium Edition to the first post --

  11. Did he ask you what you thought? If he did, what did you say? If he did not, what would you say?
  12. It looks like the unopened Day of the Tentacle market has just exploded!
  13. I thought about getting a turbo everdrive. Good to know it doesn't work... or I should say, it's unfortuante it doesn't work -- I had heard it did
  14. Wifey and I are binging one of the best shows of all time...
  15. Sweden is exactly what the West needs to counter Putin's underhand tactics https://www.businessinsider.com/sweden-exactly-what-west-nato-needs-to-counter-putin-russia-2024-2 Russia's President Vladimir Putin has long harbored an obsessive grudge against NATO expansion. He's claimed the invasion of Ukraine was a way of preventing the growth of the alliance close to Russia's borders and threatening its security. But in the end, the Russian president seems to have achieved the exact opposite. On Tuesday, Hungary's parliament voted to approve Sweden's NATO membership in a move that may be exactly what the West needs to counter Putin and his underhand tactics. Its membership brings to an end its decades-old military nonalignment policy. It also means the post-Cold War era, where Sweden reduced the size of its military and sought better trade and diplomatic ties with Russia, is closed.
  16. I heard it's much better. I gave my Diablo III cartridge away, can't see myself playing it again, honestly my character was overpowered and the gameplay was not exciting nor interesting for the most part, and the secrets were far and few between. Also, the plot was a bit wacky, and there were definitely plots holes despite the fantasy setting. If the developers had done a decent job they could have made the game far deeper and worth a second or even third, fourth, go-around. From what I've read, the developers were too busy insuring that they could monetize loot, such as their ill-fated auction house --
  17. What did your kids think of the controls? Again, I wonder if it's that you're used to the older controls and perhaps the newer controls are something you're not accustomed too? I think I'm just going to have to try it myself... although I heard it's very hard, and I might be prone to just rage quitting
  18. I actually never played the originals. So it may be a case where you're just used to the original controls. I looked this up, and there seem to be threads saying the controls are terrible, and other threads saying the controls are fine -- The controls are fine.... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/191634-crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy/75520624 First of all as far as crash 1 goes you have to use the d-pad as long as you do that controls are fine. Plus I think kids are not used to hard games crash 1 is hard and it's not because of controls.
  19. Is that true for all ports? IGN thought it was great -- https://www.ign.com/articles/2017/06/29/crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy-review Update: The Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy is now available for the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PC. I've gone back and played the N. Sane Trilogy on each system and am happy to confirm the challenge, fun, and updated shine of the N. Sane Trilogy remains intact across the board. The Switch's version doesn't look quite as good as the PS4 or comparable Xbox One versions, but still plays great. And Crash looks even better on PC with a 60 fps framerate option. Over 1500 reviews on metacritic give it an 8.4 which is fabulous. https://www.metacritic.com/game/crash-bandicoot-n-sane-trilogy/ It just seems like if the controls truly are "garbage" across the board the score should be much lower?
  20. It looks like the unopened Indian Jones and the Fate of Atlantis market has just exploded!
  21. Ordered! I think (can someone verify this?) that this edition includes the SUNSOFT 5B audio chip music?
  22. What I'd like to know is to whom I can send my Duo so that they can do their stuff and I can play my Turbo Everdrive on it
  23. The second thought that pops in my head is "I wonder how many cracks are on each case?"
