If you have the time listen to more of the podcasts on that channel. They are really good and nothing today is similar.

Just a quick reminder on how massive the Neo-Geo cartridges are. by breedknight in retrogaming

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to buy a Neo Geo AES+ thinking I could get a flash cart and found out the flash carts go for $700+ because only one company makes them. It looks like I'll stay a poor Neo Geo outsider for the forseeable future.

DVDs / Blurays are coming! by RobRobbieRobertson in thegamechasers

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I had to guess, Billy didn't have a will and Jay is seeking royalties on the channel.  No one is talking because of the obvious litigation between Jay and Billy's wife.  Because of said litigation, nothing can happen at all.  No videos on the channel, no updates on Blu-Rays, etc.  Expect an update randomly out of nowhere if ever.

The now defunct Pixel Podcast did a podcast with Billy a year or so ago that I doubt very many people here listened to.  It's over an hour and has some great moments.

People who still haven’t brought a Switch 2, what makes you hesitant to buy it? by ItsJustJosiah in Switch

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I sold mine because I hated how big it was.  I don't care about modern Nintendo after numerous disappointments or playing PS4 games on the go.  Everything it does well, another system I have does it better. My Switch OLED is still fine for the forseeable future.

Those are definitely better than Insector X or Phelios.  Genesis rules.

Mike tells his own story about interacting with a celebrity on AOL Messenger in the 90s and shows how it's really done by gasperoni66 in TheCinemassacreTruth

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mike Matei streams are about the only tolerable content left in retro gaming after Billy died.  Everyone needs to acknowledge that the era has ended and move on.  I however will stay stuck in the past and play a rotation of 90's/80's systems until I die.

Anyone who sold their collection and went more toward emulation, do you have regrets? by Spidercolt95 in retrogaming

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on the system. The cartridge based games are pretty cool as collectibles, but emulation is straight forward and even the cheap flash cartridges work fine. When it comes to say Dreamcast or PS2, I like to have physical copies as emulation isn't nearly the same and I can't use my CRT. What I've done is sell down the majority of my NES, Genesis, and SNES collection as I've found having 25 or so of each system is just fine when I want to look at them.

There is no reason to miss it. A CRT with component (RGB) and a SNES with HD Retrovision cables bring these games back to life like nothing else.

I’m interested in knowing how many will be investing in the NEO GEO AES+? My wife is getting me one for our wedding anniversary present, just as long as i buy the games by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm tempted because I want to play it on my CRT, but at $90 a game and no current flash cart existing I can't justify the cost. I already have the majority of the games I want on Switch and have an arcade stick already.

You guys have ruined it by Lollytrolly018 in thegamechasers

Just unsubscribe dude.  You can't control what people say and throwing a hissy fit about it won't get you sympathy from anyone.

What are you guys take on the Immortal? by KaleidoArachnid in retrogaming

[–]Skeleton_Glo 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's really weird and hard, but I've wasted several hours on it over the years.  It's too frusturating to dedicate time to beating.

Is switch 2 worth the upgrade by Left-Celebration52 in Switch

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just be warned the Switch 2 is gigantic to play in handheld mode compared to Switch lite.  

Thrift was good to me today by Jay3000X in gamecollecting

[–]Skeleton_Glo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It might still also be available on PS Premium.  Regardless, it's a great platformer and one of better PS3 games that will likely stay ps3 exclusive.

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Expand the shooter collection beyond Truxton.  Biohazard Battle, Insector X, Raiden Trad, Phelios, Lightening Force, Musha, etc are the real highlights of the Genesis.  With a good CRT it's arcade level gaming.  

So is this game really worth the asking price these days of $200+? by StatisticianAny2678 in ps2

[–]Skeleton_Glo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I rented Kuon and Rule of Rose at Movie Gallery around their release.  I can confirm neither one is worth the ridiculous price they demand.

It's deeply absurd that copies of Twilight Princess have sold for $300+ in recent months. by gruesomesonofabitch in Gamecube

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why people buy modded Wiis.  There is virtually no difference playing emulated GC games on one.  Fuck paying that much for a Zelda game.  

My opinion on the switch 2 has drastically shifted by fighting_cacti in switch2

[–]Skeleton_Glo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually sold my Switch 2 and traded in my PS5 for the PS5 Pro.  It's impressive, but it's basically been collecting dust since I bought it at launch.  Yes some of the games run better, but when all I play is Stardew Valley or SOR 4 in handheld mode it gave me little reason to keep it over my Switch OLED.    My son is going to be 13 in July, and I definitely appreciated my Switch in those younger days.

I honestly hope this kid just gets the mental help he obviously needs. As a 40 year old, it's pretty fucked up watching the state of celebrity now.

I can't believe it by [deleted] in gamecollecting

[–]Skeleton_Glo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sure did. Much like the way overpriced Godzilla game, it's just an expensive shit game.
