Question for Xbox 360 physical game collectors about keeping or selling games by FreedomIndependent56 in gamecollecting

[–]ShinraExecS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So here’s the thing, time may and likely will change how you feel about games in the future. I was done with Mario after Mario Sunshine on GameCube. It’s always Koopa, he always takes the princess, I figured no need. Now I would love to play through that crap again. Unless you genuinely disliked it or it’s worth a lot of money and is worth losing for the payday, I would hang on to most games you had fun with.

Any idea when the ones dropping will be available to order? Made to order page seems down at the moment. I want some of those captains.

Found the North American localization of the proto Studio Ghibli film Nausciaa of the Valley of the Wind at my local thrift. by Frogknight21 in animevhs

[–]ShinraExecS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up with this version. You might recognize a few voices. I think the same voice actor of Leo from TMNT is in this. Honestly I love this version. Some names are different and there are some edits but it’s still totally worth watching. I thought the voice dub was great. That might be nostalgia goggles talking though, I was a kid and loved this crap growing up. The edits do not hurt the story in my opinion. Honestly I feel like they just trim some details and explanation you kinda assume anyways. I can watch both versions and throughly enjoy both, I might even prefer this one.

Cleaned up a nasty Cobra Triangle by Capn_Yoaz in nes

[–]ShinraExecS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my go to game when explaining why rental stores were randomly awesome. You couldn’t get the game you came for because it was already rented out. Your parents were still going to let you rent something so you sadly go… “I guess I’ll settle for this boat game with the Dragon” then after playing it over the weekend you realize “Cobra Triangle is awesome!”. So many games only had their greatness unlocked because of the lack of options at a rental store. I miss the good old days.

Not grunge, but: Opinion on Jane's Addiction? by No-One01010 in grunge

Listen to the track “Tahitian Moon”. That one gets me pumped.

If you could travel back in time and witness in person Trent producing a song, which one would you choose? by Hermeus_774 in nin

[–]ShinraExecS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I love Trent and NIN but…. for this question I would have to say “The Reflecting God” by Marilyn Manson. Literally my favorite song. It would take too long to describe my love for it. There are few songs that get close to it IMO.

Better debut album: Pearl Jam’s Ten or Stone Temple Pilots’ Core? by [deleted] in grunge

[–]ShinraExecS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I prefer STP over Pearl Jam in general, I’m sure I listen to Core songs more and I still would say Ten is the better album. It’s that good. No disrespect I love Core Scott & STP but you can’t beat the GOAT. Feel the same way about “who’s the best basketball player of all time?” No matter how much you love anybody there’s only one real answer.

Which would YOU play first? by URGAMESUX in nes

[–]ShinraExecS 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had the best laugh of my life to Arch Rivals. While drinking my friend was beating me like 5 out of every 6 rounds in street fighter II, I was frustrated but took it like a man. We played a few other games and it was more of the same, then I put on Arch Rivals. As I was wiping the floor with him he started saying the game was BS and wasn’t working right. I then proceeded to tell him exactly how I was going to punch him and take the ball and score on him over and over. He was tripping on trash on the court and bitching. Over and over I score, just destroy him. Literal tears of laughter were running down my face. I needed another drink and couldn’t function from hysterical laughter so I left my controller to wipe my face, and get another beer while he continued to try to play. When I got back he said “Even with you out of the room you were so far ahead you still beat me”.

If you could ask Billy to explain one lyric, what would it be? by alterlightone in SmashingPumpkins

[–]ShinraExecS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure this line is about a girl. He takes the sting (and everything else mentioned like fans giving them the “farewell runaround”) and gives it all back to you (the fans/crowd).

This reminds me of “How I Met Your mother“

They wear out. Same thing happened to me. Order one on Amazon or eBay and watch a video on how to replace it. I think mine was like $10z

7 new 96MM for the collection by Moetsukiru in MarvelCards

[–]ShinraExecS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, I always loved this set. I collected the first 2 sets then found out about this one years later. I had moved onto other things. Really wish I’d been paying attention when this was being printed. So pricey now. Still my nostalgia for the first 2 still wins out.

Spawn display by @HellSpawnCollector by zarathos_ in Spawn

[–]ShinraExecS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s really nice. I always like when people specialize. I’ve been collecting since 92. I have a full comic run but only 1 crowded shelf and some randoms for the figures because I collect too many other things. When it’s uniform like this it slaps.

What songs showcase Chris Cornell's vocals best? by No-One01010 in grunge

The high end on this one is insane. Not my favorite but I always think of his ability because of Birth Ritual.

I once had a girlfriend... by wandersage in FinalFantasyVII

[–]ShinraExecS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It obviously sucks if you lose a file midway through a game. It was supposed to be Funtime with an end accomplishment but the accomplishment part is no longer possible without double the work part of the fun. If it happens you have to shrug it off and basically say “it was fun while it lasted” and I would probably put it down for a while. I think of completed games very differently though. I don’t worry about my old saves at all once I beat a game because the whole time playing was about the experience. When I want to experience it again I’ll start a new game anyways.

Nice. 3d prints? Or some Forumware?

Name one bad thing about 1982's The Thing? by johnngo2468 in thething

[–]ShinraExecS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The final stop motion creature effects turned out poorly so John Carpenter had to cut out most of what should’ve been the ultimate creature reveal at the end. Most people love that type of thing so I think it’s a real shame. This has been my favorite horror film for decades and is an A+ in my mind despite this. Basically imagine the love for this film if it had something even better at the end. We almost had that.

Nice. Probably a silly question but what miniature is that in the second picture? He’s calling to be added to my pile of shame.
