    And speaking of Platinum, their new game comes out next week. Platinum + Metal Gear = nerdgasm for me:

     

     

     

    Sorry bro, but this is not Metal Gear. It's a hack and slash disguised as Metal Gear. Tactical Espionage Action it is not.

     

     

    It's a spin-off. It's going to be an all-out action game, to be sure, but it's being made by arguably the most talented studio for producing pure action games in existence.

     

    And I disagree with the idea that this isn't a Metal Gear game. Every Metal Gear game has had crazy, off the wall action; it was just relegated to unplayable cut-scenes. I look at this game as an opportunity to finally play all those crazy cut-scenes, instead of just watching them.

     

    Metal gear has to be the funnest, yet most convoluted, wacky, and crazy franchise there is.

     

    I still have no idea what happened in MGS4.

  2. Ditko likes his beer...

    He certainly does, as the story goes, or as far as how Marcela Giacotti' (The wedding planner) tells it. Ditko became quite aggravated when Jean-Gerard started taking those pictures, but Steve kept drinking anyways. When Jeanine Williams, Citlali's best friend, was going around the tables greeting people, she made it to Ditko's corner and and kindly asked him to sign the guest book..then he jumped up and said..."Mmmmm, this beer is delicious!!! I love this beer!...also, NO Autographs nimwitts!!!"

    then he just walked out (or so I was told), but apparently, not before grabbing two beers from the freezer...

     

    Are these spur of the moment, or do you have a long list waiting to be unleashed?

  3. The only problem this generation is that Sony is reportedly getting rid of backwards compatibility while the Xbox 720 will include it. BC is incredibly valuable at the start of the generation, when there are few new titles and you still have a lot of backlog to push through, and no one wants to keep two consoles/gamepads/etc. laying around unless they're classic. doh!

     

    Damn, I guess I picked the wrong horse this generation and Sony can bite me.

     

    Yeah Sony made that decision after the first round of PS3's.

     

    Would have loved to have been able to keep playing my ps2 games on my PS3...

  4. Soundtracks are one collecting area I am really not familiar with. Can you tell us a bit about the general state of the market and even how they were released and so on?

     

    Honestly I can't provide much info on them.

     

    I bought them on ebay about a week before the concert. I bought all the original sound versions. I wouldnt say they are too collectible by themselves.

     

    His signature goes for decent money though. The lady and I each got a Distant Worlds II CD signed by him and Arnie Roth (everyone at the meet and great got one.) Got $200 for one of them after the meet and great, kept the other.

  5. I posted this in one of the what do you look like threads.

     

    I am a big fan of the FInal Fantasy games especially the music.

     

    Getting to meet Nobuo Uematsu was incredible!

    you know, looking at this pic again makes me curious.... I see presumably your wife son and daughter dressed up (tie on your son, dresses on the girls) yet you are less dressed up... long pants (?) and button up shirt but short sleeve and not tuckend in.. and Nobuo not dressed up at all. Just curious as you guys are clearly together yet dressed different hm

     

    If it was a public signing (white banquet table) then why would your family dress up; if it was at your home, why do you have a white banquet table hm

     

    Just curious! :)

     

    doh!lol:applause::roflmao:

     

    It was at a concert in San Francisco. Me and my girlfriend are the two standing in the back dressed up for the concert.

     

    Nobuo is on the right, he just sat in the audience and conducted one winged angel. The guy in the middle is Arnie Roth, the conductor. The woman on the end is Susan Calloway, she sang some of the songs.

     

    Arnie and Nobuo where both dressed different for the show, but got more comftorable afterwards.

  6. Pretty cool. (thumbs u

     

    Have you played the most recent Final Fantasy games (XIII series)? If so, what did you think?

     

    FF 13... Was what it was...

     

    I commend them for trying to make a step forward and shake things up, but it was too linear too me. It was also too convoluted.

     

    FFX was the last one I played that I really enjoyed. It was linear, but i still loved it.

  7. Cool - tell me abt the miyamoto sig?

     

    It's a print of art done by miyamoto for Mario's 25th anniversary.

     

    They had an event at Nintendo world in NY on Nov 7th 2010 that Miyamoto showed up to with some other Nintendo big wigs.

     

    The only way to get one of the prints was to purchase a 25th anniversary wii or DS day at the event, and it would come with one.

     

    As far as I am aware the sig is part of the print. I have heard people to say it was signed individually, but haven't seen anything to substantiate that.

     

    Either way it's cool as heck and they are extremely hard to come by, so I'm glad I picked one up early.

  8. Cool thread. I'll have to take some pictures this weekend. Here is one pic I could track down of a few of my games...

    I love the fact that you do NOT have Simon's Quest in there. Hated that game...

     

    Your more obscure titles (Trojan, Legendary Wings and Baseball Stars 2) are also personal favorites. Awesome collection! I'd love to see more pics in the future.

    A sealed Final Fantasy?! :o Nice! I miss my sealed set of all 4 Dragon Warriors. :sorry:

     

    Sweet sassy molassy!

  9. Sweet. Looks great up on your wall. Still plotting mine as I too have a few things to go up at once and I don't want to go there until they are all framed so I can work it out.

     

    :)

     

    Thanks! I would like to get a little more up there, but I was tired of those frames just sitting around.

     

    Post a pic of yours once you get it up!
