Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

What're the type and conditions of those PS2s? I've been meaning to pick one up.

The PS2's are used but in perfect working condition. I had to throw one away last year (incidently the one with the FFXI HDD) because it got water damaged in my basement when it flooded. Someone decided that the box labeled "Don't put this on the floor" needed to be on the floor.

1) What the fuck?
2) I'm tempted to buy one just because they're still new.

I picked them up at a garage sale/estate sale in town. The guy had no idea what they were and sold them to me for $1.00 each.

How do you amass 3 PS3's and 4 PS2's keeping all of them? Geek Hoarder?

I have a rather lucrative side business buying and selling video games, componants, systems and peripherals on Ebay. I typically find things at flea markets, garage sales and yard sales and turn them for profit. When those things aren't "in season" I prey on the sellers who don't know the value of what they're selling and use them to turn profit.

Incidently, those 2 PS3s were mine, they broke one after the other and I've been meaning to sell them off. The PS2's I picked up at garage sales this summer for typically $10.00-$15.00 each. I sell them for a reserve of $30.00 to double my investment.

These days it doesn't cut it to just have 1 job.

In addition, I have something like 7 or 8 factory sealed Virtual memory Cards for the Dreamcast.

Made a ton of money selling some stuff on Ebay this week. All my auctions ended today and 4/5 of them have paid already.

PS3 (60gig) (Broken: Blu Ray Drive not working) - $75.00 /w $15.00 Shipping
PS3 (80gig) (Broken: Blu Ray Drive not working) - $75.00 /w $15.00 Shipping
PS2 (Working properly) - $34.00 /w $10.00 Shipping
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood (Brand New, Factory Sealed) - $72.00 /w $5.00 Shipping
Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria (Brand new, Factory Sealed) - $30.00 /w $5.00 Shipping

Grand total: $286.00

Later today I'll be listing more of my old systems and games I have double of. I think I have 3 more PS2s that are working and 2 working Dreamcasts that I can easily sell 1 of. In addition, I have something like 7 or 8 factory sealed Virtual memory Cards for the Dreamcast.

Anyone want any of that before I go ahead and sell it all?

as a Monk (which is quite broken at the higher levels with +haste, +movement speed, and +damage reduction) and also as a dual wielding fighter.

Ohi, Lyulf.

Installed Ubuntu Server on an old-ish laptop with no screen and turned it into a full-blown Minecraft server. It was a learning experience.

NWN2 was a lot better with the expansions. More base classes and prestige classes and a far better story for both. Storm of Zehir was a lot like the old Icewind Dale games and you got a fully customisable party in that as well.

Ignoring the ending of the game, which is by far the worst ending in gaming history that needed the entire final act of the game to be retconed to make the expansions work, NWN2 actually felt like a D&D game. NWN1 did not.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I loved NWN... 1 not 2 though... I played and beat it twice, once as a Monk (which is quite broken at the higher levels with +haste, +movement speed, and +damage reduction) and also as a dual wielding fighter.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I personally hated NWN1 unless it was heavily and I mean heavily modded. It's a D&D game but you are forced to play solo, plus it used the badly broken 3.0 Ruleset where the only classes worth playing were Druid and Cleric.

It's like saying you're playing a racing game but you can't use cars, but that's okay because the only things worth using are motorbikes because everyone else is stuck in traffic.

I recognise Neverwinter nights. I love that game but I'm never any good at those type of rpg's.

Well it's more "Hey I recognise that" *looks at own collection* "Oh so that's what it is"

And Cooler Master cases really are awesome. You need a good number of case fans to really take advantage of them but I don't think I've ever even considered looking at water cooling, those cases are that efficient at blasting out hot air quickly once you have airflow and fan placement optimised (3 fans, front, back and top is usually enough with CM cases, especially if the case comes with built in fans).

It also means that I can heat up my room pretty fast by simply turning on my PC. It makes late night gaming during the winter a lot more comfortable.

I'm amazed you can even read any the albums at that resolution.

This case was a huge step up from my old and poorly ventilated Rosewill case, so I too am becoming a fan of Cooler Master.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I am a fan of Cooler Master towers. My current PC is in a pretty badly ventilated place due to lack of space but I don't think I've ever seen the internal temperature for my PC top 40C and that is under a very demanding load.

Also I recognise a lot of those albums on the shelf XD
