There's a long story regarding my love for the books, but I won't bore you. I love the series though. Is it childish? Sure, but I love the characters.

Big fan here too. Great haul by the way.

Made a short trip to the local games store just now, came back with this:



Time Crisis 2 for PS2 (second hand CIB), Soul Calibur IV for PS3 (new in seal) and The Nomad Soul (aka Omikron) for the Dreamcast, also new in seal. Total cost was €40.98. I plan to keep The Nomad Soul in seal for the time being, just for the fuck of it, and to learn how it feels to hoard a minty, new, sealed and unopened classic game.

Got these for $1.50 each.

I love those super pads, best N64 pad by a mile, hard to pick up here in the UK though, I've found 2 so far.

A haul made of both awesome and fail:

-SoundBlaster Vibra16 ISA sound card
-Yamaha YMF724 PCI sound card(this is the fail because it doesn't work. I'll exchange this for another Yamaha PCI or ISA sound card or a SoundBlaster AWE32 or a pre-SoundBlaster Pro ISA sound card)
-Commodore 1084S monitor(this is what's made of awesome: Composite, S-Video, and, most importantly, RGB INPUTS. Woot!)

$50 for everything. I'll take some pictures of the 1084S once I make an RGB cable for one of my RGB-capable consoles.

No, not all lists are personal. You can make lists based on the preferences of the majority.
If your list is personal, then yes, you can make a 500 games list, or even 600, 700, 800. It doesn't matter, because the reasons for including a game would be personal (nostalgia, bias, whatever reason).

As for why Kagero is on my list? Easy. It's listed with a score of 8.6 average based on scores of 104 users, as well as a 8.4 average based on 4 official reviews (Source = gamespot).
My list is not my "preferred" list of games. I have compiled it based on average review and user scores, as well as user comments and votes. This is much more reliable than having a few people note a game. No offense, sheath.

That's not really the majority, though. That's a majority from a self-selected poll, and an average of a fraction of contemporary reviews. What does that prove?

Critics are not always "right". The highest-rated GBA game (at least on Metacritic) is Tony Hawk 2 -- does anyone really think that's the best game the system has to offer? I don't think I'd even put it in a top 100 GBA games list, myself. Another fun fact from Metacritic: Summoner (the original) is "better" than God Hand. Do you agree? How many "real people" share that opinion?

Even when the critics are "right", a score doesn't tell the whole story. Resident Evil 2 has a high score on PSX. But who wants to play it on PSX today? It has since been released on N64, Dreamcast, PC, and Gamecube, and all of these are substantially better. It's still a good game on Playstation, but practically speaking, it's of little use to note that.

And anyway don't you have your own opinion? I find out if a game is good by playing it, not by mechanically digesting posted scores.

was in Lemington Spa this weekend and popped into a gametrader;

They had Saturn, N64, PS1, and Master System games. Naturally got a bit excited as finding such things in the wild in the UK are slim to none.

Picked up ThunderHawk 2 for the saturn Mint CIB £1
Micro Machines for the SMS mint CIB £4
and GT for the PSP not retro but was cheap and on my want list £12

wasn't much else worth having tbh other than your usual sports titles still made my day
