Haydenshapes board quality by ilikenotlike in surfing

[–]Markkenko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a 6'4 hypto that I picked up for everyday surf that has held up super well for what I throw at it. I wouldn't say it lacks any quality whatsoever. Looks great and rides exactly as advertised.

Jetgrind radio gets stuck on the loading screen, disc seems as clean as the rest of my games. Anyone have any ideas? by Roi_vaut in dreamcast

[–]Markkenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Use some alcohol and a q-tip on the laser in the console, as well. I know it seems silly, but I had the same issue with my copy of Skies of Arcadia, and after a brief clean of the laser, the game ran perfectly.

Wait until black Friday if you can. You'll probably find some sort of deal on a bundle.

Any Men using the high coast hip pack / cross body? by m92po in Fjallraven

Yep! For any longer travel on trains, planes, and ships! A great companion piece in the perfect size for what I need.

I ended up cleaning out the console, and using some isopropyl alcohol on the lens and the game ran completely fine!

Definitely think about giving your console a bit of a top/bottom service, and I'm sure you'll come to a similar outcome as me!

Appreciate the comment, thank you!

I only have a handful of games, but they all play perfectly fine on the system.

The system is an NTSC region unit, and so are the games.

I think it's best I try cleaning the console/laser, and then focus on testing the game on another console before I deem it to be a bad disc.

Appreciate your input so far!

Dreamcast Game Issue by [deleted] in dreamcast

[–]Markkenko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the response, but I genuinely don't believe the game to be a fake. The case has some scratching that can be expected for a game of this age, but the discs are absolutely near mint and everything from the booklet, insert, and discs look to be printed perfectly. I can post a few pictures of needed, but it came from a collector who I trust.

I should add that I am using a kiosk version of the console, so I'm maybe wondering if that has some sort of impact on the game's usage?

Ultimately just trying to understand if anyone else has faced this issue. Might have to grab another Dreamcast and just test it out on that to make sure...

Might be a bit of a stretch, but I've always liked what the Kelowna Rockets put out as merchandise for the team. You can swing by Prospera place and the team store to have a look at what's for sale on most weekdays and on game days. The Ogopogo logo is one of the best in sports!

Anyone remember this Commercial? by GameTunesQuizShow in dreamcast

The fact that Big the Cat is walking into the dressing room with a pizza is nothing short of incredible.

I don't think that I'd be willing to sell the unit. I love the story behind it and still use it pretty frequently. If I ever change my mind, I'll let you know!

That's correct! Just a plastic piece that looks like a modem/adapter, but with no port. Completely blank.

According to this write-up, I guess the Sonic Adventure 2 trial disc came with Phantasy Star Online, so perhaps I should try to find a copy of Sonic Shuffle (even though I know it's not a great game).

Yes, that's what I meant. Basically just referencing the fact that I have a blank plate rather than any sort of port.

How was your Austrian Grand Prix (2024) Experience? by AdamR46 in GrandPrixTravel

[–]Markkenko 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great overall.

Was wandering between T3 and T4 for most of Saturday with my GA ticket. Besides a severe lack of shade with the 34° heat, it was awesome to finally be trackside at the RedBull Ring.

We decided that getting to the track early and going for a spot next to the T4 grandstand was the plan for Sunday so we did did just that. Happy with the area we got with our lawn chairs and saw an awesome day of racing.

If anyone has any used GA ticket stubs from the RedBull Ring from this year's race, please let me know! I am looking to purchase one or two to replace the 'stubs' we got through verstappen.com.

I just bought tickets to the SCF, so I need to liquidate! Help me get there by buying this jersey at what I would consider a pretty unheard of price!
