that's actually awesome.
for your MEGADRIVE ;)
(americans and their genesis ;) )

hehe :P

the best one tho is if you can get an old original xbox, you can put a larger hard drive in them and an operating system + roms and emulators.
my old first generation xbox was a classic gaming machine, had emulators for snes, megadrive, spectrum, amiga, atari, couple of others. then thousands of roms for each, pretty much every game ever made on each console. all on the harddrive, all playable from menus, and with the controller already set up. it was beautiful, until i lent it to someone that never gave it back :(

my megadrive was stolen when i was burgled :/
i only had the mega-games for it with columns, shinobi, streets of rage, goldenaxe, and some crappy racing game on it... so annoying, but what a cartridge that was.

funny part was they didn't steal my PC :lol:
cos my case is like 25 years old. dumb fucks lol. it's a full tower, just a chassis to screw things into basically. looks terrible, but functionally you can make it do anything you want. i could put a goldfish tank in my case if i wanted.
but yeah they just stole all my old headphones that were up on the wall, which is funny cos they were all broken :lol:
literally just on the wall as like a graveyard. only pair they left was the only working pair :lol: plugged into my pc.
i didn't give a victim statement cos i was like "expensive binman really". only loss was my old 1TB HDD, but now i have a 2TB replacement so meh.

but if you can get one of these:
Image
chipped with a hdd in it, all you need is a network cable and you can copy on the operating system, emulators, and roms. it's easy.
screw the actual xbox games, i think i had 1 maybe 2 of those.
compared to literally about 5000 retro games.


not the OS i had, but same thing.

it's right actually, did have PS1 and N64 emulators as well. the N64 one never worked great though.

+
mine was hard modded i think with a larger hard drive when i got it, cool video, always wondered how they did the softmodding.
10:57 dat speedball 2 music xD

At the moment stick to WoW Shadowlands. Great game with friends at the weekend :) not long ago even got Shadowlands Keystone Master here for my gf. She turned 25 and that was my unconventional present to her :)

So my youngest one is working for Wizards of the Coast and told me about Magic the Gathering Arena; which I am sad to report I was completely clueless about. So I am playing this a bit; nice to get back into MTG a bit.

i just watched this:

This is how my mom uses coupons at Walmart:"


it has made me re-download Eternal to have a play with my old guns and demons deck:


good game, free to play, it's a rip off of magic the gathering, but still fun, decent mechanics.. MtG is so expensive to play cos you need the cards.

----

actually changed my mind, too many pay to win uber cards >.<
fk this game lol
every card has a wall of text on it..

----

uurg it's not so bad.. dropped me in at my old rank i guess and i forgot how to play mostly, plus loads of extra new stuff.. annoying OP stuff -_-'

i dunno, it's the nature of the beast. you can play to get most of the cards.. most of them...
plus all the decks i made are now invalid cos they changed the market rules -_-'

they are good games tbh.. i got a bit hooked now :lol:

it's a longevity thing i guess.. my main deck is actually pretty much complete, and i remembered how to play it, it is fun; but you'll never compete without a complete deck and a plan to use it.

its way too much grind and losing between starting a new deck and it being usable for fun.

worth it for 1 deck at least tho, cos you're learning while you're grinding on the first one.

+
just had a lolz one, guy was playing a revenge deck, so when the card dies, it goes to the top 5 cards of your deck, and is played immediately for free when you draw it.
i have 2 cards to counter that, the null blade, that gives everything in the graveyard -5/-5, and everything sent to it that as well, and the medusa one that turns everything that dies into a stone cudgel.

the medusa is in my market so i got that out later on, but man, i got the null blade at the start, and when he killed it i had reforge to bring a weapon back from the dead with +1/+1 :lol:


very lucky to get the null blade at the start tho, i have like 1 card that's designed to fuck up each specialist build, and most of them are in my market (market cards you can choose which to swap with one in your hand, then you have like 6 or 7 cards to give access to the market). i was gonna take null blade out cos didn't wanna have 2 counters for a specialist, but man, i pulled both the counter cards, and a third as reforged :lol:
he musta been so pissed off ;P
only have 1 null blade and 1 reforge, and i was gonna take them both out of the deck.

he used the flying wraith monster that like flys over all the defence, attacks twice then dies and goes back to revenge, so you dont get chance to kill it; and i had a fkin instant kill fast spell and turned it into a cudgel lmao, then he quit.

it's a gun-slinger demons + weapons deck, with some dragons and death magic thrown in.

it 100% is a knock-off of Magic the Gathering. but it's a pretty good free to play alternative.
it's sorta what Path of Exile is to Diablo 3.
or League of Legends is to Dota 2.

i doubt anyone is that interested unless they play it, but if you wanna see my deck, go to here:

Just because I haven't seen it get a mention and it's pretty useful. Use some steam link if you have android devices attached to your TV. I hate buying games thru steam since it feels like renting than actual ownership but you can add non steam games and stream them pretty easy to anything you can put steam link on. Got a lot of Bluetooth toys for my phone and firestick. Nice not to always be confined to one room for pc gaming or just playing on my phone while farting around. Nice remote desktop app too for being free.

im in 2 minds about promoting this...beacuse it satisfies similar gamer urges as UO.... but man, this is a freak of a game.. small dev team, like 6k dedicated player base, but otherwise not mainstream... mmo... persistant.. guys... this current war is done. but if you play next war, i am rolling warden.

i dont say this lightly, but this is one of the the best games i've played.. we are talking like *real* next gen, not smoke and mirrors to make it look that way..

it says release date 2017.. but it's been *so* under-marketed, you are talkign like <5k players the whole time.
it is *so* polished....
put it this way - i missed an event just to play this normal time.... that's why i dont wanna promote it. but holy shit is it a good game.
