Batman: Arkham Asylum on PS3, bloody awesome game.

I AM THE NIGHT!!

Agreed :D
Got it on 360 and it rocks, but little gripe cos I got the collectors edition, and the game isn't in a regular case like most but a cardboard slip thingie, so if I want it on my shelf in a hard case I'd have to put the HUGE box in

Batman: Arkham Asylum on PS3, bloody awesome game.

I AM THE NIGHT!!

My copy (PS3 version also) arrived from VGP today and I can't agree more! It is just so well paced, so well thought out...And some of the set pieces already...Holy cheeseburgers with guacamole, Batman. Everything about the game is AMAZING.

Also received the fantastic David Lynch film 'Lost Highway' on DVD from my good pal, Stompy. I've been trying to track down a copy for a while now and Stompy managed to find a copy for me, 2 disk special edition no less! Thanks again, mate. :)

Finally, after years of searching for it at second hand game stores and the like, I now own Robotech Battlecry for PS2.

I passed it up at EB alot, it was $70, I thought that was too much to pay so I waited for it to come down in price. It never did and I never saw it again.

Massive thanks goes to Paulbot for selling it to me.

Well, that is one of the potential cons of waiting for it to "Come Down" or/& "Sold Second Hand".;)

RoboCop trilogy DVD set (repackaged version)
Strangely enough, I've never seen any of the RoboCop sequels. Are they any good?

Today I received 'Escape from New York' on DVD in the mail. :D

[SGB]

Strangely enough, I've never seen any of the RoboCop sequels. Are they any good?
I don't like either of the sequels, however you might like RoboCop 2. For me that film's only saving graces are Peter Weller and terrific stop-motion animation.

RoboCop 3 really sucks. Not really worth the time.

Channel 7 are showing RoboCop 2 tomorrow night at 11pm, so you've got a good opportunity to check it out.

I also think Frank Miller (300, Sin City etc) wrote the screenplay for Robocop 2

[SGB]

I also think Frank Miller (300, Sin City etc) wrote the screenplay for Robocop 2
He wrote the original screenplay, but a lot of it got thrown out in rewrites by other writers. The final film didn't have much resemblance to what he wrote.

[Doubledealer]

Thanks for the info, lads. I'll be sure to check out RoboCop 2 tomorrow night. :)

So, what did you think of RoboCop 2?

[Doubledealer]

So, what did you think of RoboCop 2?

Thought it was pretty woeful to be honest. I ended up turning it off about 20 mins into it and played Batman: Arkham Asylum instead. :p

I must admit I did lol at the part where the baddy says: Stop! I'll kill the baby! and Robocop casually says "We can't have that now can we?" before shooting him in the head. :D

[SGB]

Thought it was pretty woeful to be honest. I ended up turning it off about 20 mins into it and played Batman: Arkham Asylum instead. :p
If you disliked RoboCop 2 enough to turn it off after 20 minutes, then I wonder how much quicker you'd turn off RoboCop 3. :p

[Eruntalon]

If you disliked RoboCop 2 enough to turn it off after 20 minutes, then I wonder how much quicker you'd turn off RoboCop 3. :p

Wasn't there a RoboCop 4 later on? it had none of the original actors and featured more than one officer using the robocop technology, and one of them was black.

[SGB]

You're thinking of the 4-part miniseries called "RoboCop: Prime Directives". It was made and released back in 2000 and was friggin' awful. Worse than RoboCop 2 & 3.

[Doubledealer]

Did you guys know there is apparently a new RoboCop coming out next year? Or have I been living under a rocklord all this time??

[SGB]

There won't be any new RoboCop films next year. MGM do want to make a new film (a remake of the original), but no scripts have been written yet nor has anyone been officially signed to make the film.

Atleast you have an FTO still - I sold mine a while back. Biggest regret I have to this day as I have yet to drive a car that rode as well and handled as well as it. Even bigger regret is that I heard the new owner apparently wrote it off a couple of months later. :( But you can't put a baby seat into a 2 door (well, not effectively anyway). Looking to buy another one once I purchase a new house with a double garage and will be starting from scratch. Thinking of the D-cuartro kit on a Version-R. :D

Picked up the latest Halo romp from JB tonight, price matched Big W's sale price of $68 so I'm pretty chuffed. :D

With all the cash floating around from sales, I decided to splurge again and get myself an iPod Touch.
I was originally just going to get an 8GB, until I read that that 32/64GB versions had the faster processor like the 3GS iPhones..

http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a385/nz-kiwiman/Hauls/ZipposSeptember2009Haul09.jpg
So I blew thge budget just a tad and got a 32GB, with a free (crappy) power charger and discounted screen protectors.


And pictures of the assumed computer.
Not 100% happy, as the modular power supply (made by the same people who made the case) has very short ATX and ATX_12V power leads meaning I could not go behind the motherboard as planned.

EDIT: Those yellow SATA cables you see sticking through the case are to be connected to the hard drives. I just needed the main HDD to be detected first, hense leaving them unplugged.

Seeing as how there is bugger all left in the rotf line that interests me I've gotten back into my only collecting habit that is older than TFs. Retro video games. Naturally Cashies are my new best buddies with their glorious ignorance to the value of a game that doesn't have Mario/Zelda/Donkey Kong written on the cart. Most recent pick ups include

Sega Master System
Alex Kidd in Shinobi World
Indiana Jones & the last Crusade
Alien Syndrome
Strider

Sega Mega Drive
the Incredible Hulk
Batman Returns
Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3
Ghouls 'n Ghosts

Nintendo 64
Space Station Silicone Vally
Mystical Ninja starring Goemon

Sadly haven't got much for the NES and Super NES due to lack of stock and/or horrible prices

I got another Thermaltake Element G case to replace the one a few posts above. Pitty it has the same issue, but i'm over it. Need a computer.

[MV75]

Should have just bought a new corsair power supply. It's sheer madness you didn't.

As for my most recent non-tf thing of note, probably my new phone.

I got sick of my LG chocolate running out of battery power every two days, and this is with a "new" battery too. I figured the only way to get a decent battery life is to just get a new phone. So I got a nokia 3120 for $99. Freaking bargain. USB data cable is on it's way from ebay for it too. :)

Just installing Dead Space on PC now (arrived today from England). Hoping I'll enjoy this a lot more with the improved controls and the added immersion PC gaming provides (played 3 levels in on PS3 previously).

Dead space! what a great game! dont you like the controls on PS3? it took me a while to get used to them.

[Doubledealer]

Dead space! what a great game! dont you like the controls on PS3? it took me a while to get used to them.

I found the PS3 controls too sluggish for a game as intensely action packed as DS. Another thing that annoyed me was the size of the text when it came to reading ship logs etc.

I'm glad to say the PC version resolves all these issues I had while looking much nicer at the same time. The controls inparticular are as smooth as silk now and aiming is so much easier it's ridiculous.
Note: For those who haven't but intend to play the PC version of Dead Space be sure to turn off V-Sync as there is a bug with the game that causes sluggish controls when it's enabled.

PC version of Dead Space running at 1680 X 1050 with all details on max. So realistic you can smell the blood. :D

Good point with the ship logs, i was never able to read them properly, and improved aiming would be good because sometimes it was difficult to aim for the 'limbs' in time!
well enjoy finishing the game!

Turtles in Time was on SNES and its f'ing expensive (there was a TMNT 3 on NES called: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project, I've never seen a copy and can only assume it sells for a high price)

last ebay auction for Turtles in Time went for $70, and a BIN loose cart for $90!

I picked up Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness on N64 the other day.

[i_amtrunks]

- Dragonball: Revenge of King Piccolo
- TMNT: Smash Up

TMNT is a hit an miss game, its a Smash Brothers clone, without the finesse and class of Smash brothers.

Dragonball is decent but repetitive. Fighting is fun, but the jumping is inaccurate and annoying.

[1AZRAEL1]

Brütal Legend! Tim Schafer is a god.

Damn I so wanna get that, it looks wicked.

[Gutsman Heavy]

Dragonball is decent but repetitive. Fighting is fun, but the jumping is inaccurate and annoying.

damn I was hoping it would be as good as the awesome Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure. That game was EPIC. I'll prolly get it anyway :D

I played the demo for the new DBZ game on PS3, looks great but its basically a new Tenkaichi game, so nothing ground breaking here.


Damn I so wanna get that, it looks wicked.

ultimately the game was a let down, everything was great bar the actual gameplay, which is all over the place. The random performance issues on the PS3 didn't help :(

[i_amtrunks]

damn I was hoping it would be as good as the awesome Dragon Ball Advanced Adventure. That game was EPIC. I'll prolly get it anyway :D

It's a $50-$60 game in terms of worth, its not super long to finish the story mode, but if you want to unlock everything it'll take you quite some time.
Voice acting and audio is top notch, and its very pretty, yet stays in the Toriyama art style, once you get over the problems with jumping, its a pretty solid game.
Certainly a nice change up from all the boring fighting games they have been pumping out.

Picked up a ps3 slim mainly for blu-ray, but also looking forward to Modern Warfare 2. Trailers look amazing!

[Gutsman Heavy]

@ Gutsman what blu-ray player do you use for the overseas region discs?

I have a US PS3, so far there are no region free Blu-ray players.
On average a new release film will cost $20-25 and I'll get it months before a local release (Up wont be out till next year here) but I can't buy any local release unless its region free.

My next purchase will be the uber Watchmen set that has the black freighter edited into it!

Oh yea baby.

My first time out to a boxing day sale. Got to chermside at ~8am, went to kmart, too long a line to just pick up a freaking $39 phone for my uncle, so we headed on down to jbhifi. Waited around until 9, it was packed outside the store by then, I was near the front though, doors opened, my uncle went off to get a $44 nokia phone, and I headed straight to the TVs and was the first to get a Toshiba 46rv600a for $1181. Oh hell yea. 46 inches of screen there. :cool:

I then spent all afternoon moving furniture around and constructing the new stand we bought a few months ago, and the current result;

http://i96.photobucket.com/albums/l186/mv75/Image0038.jpg

It was fun to put the box in my car, I had to remove the back seat and it just fit then. So I left my mum at the shopping center, took myself and my uncle home then I went back for her. :D

Oh yea, ejector is scheming to assimilate the TV set..... he thought I wouldn't notice him there. I'm watching you you little bugger.

Wow, what I'd give to relive playing those games for the first time...Due to the themes used in the original Silent Hill KCET (the dev team) had to make the story even more ambiguous than most Silent Hills (making it pretty hard to fully understand). Silent Hill 3 aims to better explain the events in the first game so I highly recommend playing 3 after the first game. I also recommend playing SH2 and then 4 directly after, reason being that 4's story builds on a sub-story from 2. However you play them, I hope you enjoy what I believe to be the most adult, thought provoking and fascinating games around.

When should I play Silent Hill Origins then? (Haven't bought this yet and I've read that it's a prequal to SH1?). I'm also after a component cable for PS2 that isn't some 3rd party piece of crap if anyone has an official Sony one...

Play it after 1 & 3. Play it first and you'll probably give up on the series...

Why do you want to waste money on a Sony component cable? Just buy this http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-n-49-en-70-1b4.html for sub AU$7. It will do the job perfectly well for a fraction of the cost of the official Sony one.

Play-asia is your friend. :) I've got that cable and it's fantastic for PS2 or PS3 (although I use HDMI for the PS3 now). If ever you need an HDMI cable get one from them also...Around $5 and supports 1.3 HD audio/video (http://www.audioholics.com/education/display-formats-technology/audioholics-hdmi-1-3-q-a).

The Silent Hill series is great, though I have only managed to finish the first one (and got a bad ending) I really gotta go back and play it again to get all the different endings. I understood the first one, but it has been that long since I played it so I can't remember it fully.

Thanks Doubledealer, I always wondered in which order I had to play them.

Was getting a bit sick of using the standard tv speakers for audio so decided it was time for a bit of a home theatre upgrade. Ended up buying:

From JB Hi-Fi Chermside:
Onkyo TX-SR507B AV Receiver
RVM - OPAL SS38A Speaker Stands (2 stands for rear speakers)
Belkin PURE AV - Blue Series 1.8m Digital Optical Audio Cable (so TV audio goes through the receiver and speakers)

From Joyce Mayne Maroochydore:
Energy Take Classic 5 Satellite Speaker & Sub pack
Belkin PURE AV - 16-Gauge High Performance Speaker Wire (30.5m)
Belkin PURE AV - Subwoofer Audio Cable

Was up until about 1:30am last night setting it all up with my tv, PS3 and Wii. Just tested out the Iron Man BD with its True HD audio and am so pleased...Sounds unbelievable! :D

Thanks 1AZRAEL1, every day is going to be a party now I think! I'm drooling just thinking of the Arnie nights already. :D I've been listening to some music and the clarity from the Energy speakers is just out of this world. Listening to a recent fave song 'The Lotus and the Robot' by Hatchback blew me away inparticular as every time a new element is introduced into the song it's from a different direction and with such clear sound...Time to go fiddle with it some more I think, haven't even tested any PS3 games with it yet!

http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/uu332/Doubledealer_83/AkiraBD.jpg

:D For those who haven't bought this yet, please keep this in mind...

From the IGN Akira BD review:

"An insert inside the case informs consumers that 5.1 Dolby TrueHD English track was recorded in 48 kHz/16 bit sound and doesn't produce the hypersonic effect as heard in the Japanese TrueHD track in 192 kHz/24 bit audio. Basically, they're saying (and our direct comparisons confirmed it), that the original hypersonic Japanese TrueHD track simply blows the English one out of the water. Hearing to the two tracks back to back is like the difference between hearing a wild party next door and being smack-dab in the middle of that party. Just listen to the rhythmic drums that break the silence in the opening sequence. The rumbling, resonant sound will have your eardrums humming. And it only gets better from there. The bike chases will knock your socks off. The explosions will blow the roof off. The moving score blends seamlessly into the sound effects with startling directionality. Seriously, even if you're not a purist and you hate reading subtitles, do yourself a favor and listen to the original Japanese track at least once. This is as good as sound gets."

It was the fifth story made in the series.

Wobbly sets throughout but I love it. Especially the second episode where three of the main cast are brainwashed and the fourth isn't, and we get POV shots showing what each camp sees.

And I love the Voord tripping over his own flippers in the last episode.

GoW3 arrived from fishpond.com.au (AU$72 inc. shipping :D).

You're a bit of a soundtrack buff eh SGB?

I love 'em. My two favourites are the Aliens and The Crow soundtracks.

How hard was it to track down RoboCop?

[SGB]

You're a bit of a soundtrack buff eh SGB?
Not really a soundtrack buff. I just like the music heard in the films I have the soundtracks to.



I love 'em. My two favourites are the Aliens and The Crow soundtracks.
My favourite is the "Superman: The Music" set, which features the complete and uncut soundtracks to all four Chris Reeve Superman films. An absolutely superb set and worth every freakin' cent.

The Supergirl soundtrack, by the late Jerry Goldsmith, is another favourite of mine. It, in my opinion, is his best work, and the wonderful "Flying Ballet" track is the best piece of music he ever composed.

One of my other favourite soundtracks is Masters Of The Universe. La-La Land Records re-released it in complete form about a year-and-a-half back. I was one of the lucky 150 customers to get the soundtrack signed by it's composer Bill Conti. :D



How hard was it to track down RoboCop?
Not very. Intrada (re)released the RoboCop soundtrack only a couple of weeks ago, so it's very easily obtainable. I purchased it from ScreenArchives.com (http://www.screenarchives.com).

If you're after the RoboCop soundtrack, get Intrada's release as, unlike previous releases by other labels, it has the complete score.

I picked up Dead Space: Extraction for the Wii from Kmart for $25.

The first dedicated shooting Wii game I have and I quite like it. The playing style - you see the game entirely through the eyes of the character you're playing and it's set more like a movie than a game - is unique amongst the games I have.

It's a prequel but I think the first is available only on gaming systems I don't have... unless there's a Playstation One version out there :p

And I love the ending to Chapter 9. Spoiler: you have to cut your character's arm off :eek:

[loophole]

5.5 is a "fine minus" but it is a good one at that.

i was looking a couple of grade 6's but some of them had marvel chipping which isnt considered for the grade of the comic as many copies came out like it and because of that the cover doesnt look as nice but a 6 grade may have white pages where as mine is white to off-white pages, so like to think its a nice comparimise considering how much i paid for it.

im thinking of opening to read it and to actually have a look at the stan lee signature but then it will devalue it as it wont be cgc sealed so i might open it read it take a couple of pics and then get it resealed

Cool. My mum got a '06 yrs hatch last year. You should be very surprised at the internal space, they're huge. The hatch fits 4 6ft+ adults comfortably. With the sedan, you'll realise that you didn't need to buy a 4wd as you should have probably the same amount of space in it. :)

Yeah I should never be thirsty. I think I saw 5 dedicated waterbottle holders in it so far :D

Got a bunch of He-Man, She-Ra, Real Ghostbusters, Star Wars: Ewoks, Back To The Future and The Land Before Time animation cels today.

Was surprised at how quick they arrived -- they were only mailed out from the U.S. last Thursday!

Lexx Season 4, thus completing my collection of Lexx. Season 4 is by far the worst season of the series:

I watched season 1 of LEXX ages ago, haven't seen, well, pretty much any seasons after that :p

Each season is different in some way, but by the time the creator Paul Donovan made Season 4 over 2001/2002 it's as though they just gave up and made crap.

sure have.. it was the deal, the missus gets the kitchen she wants and i get a room for the collection... once the house is built i will be getting a shopfitter in eventually and we will look at doing wrap around glass cabinets floor to roof and then a glass cabinet in the middle of the room, it will purley be a museum room.....if all goes to plan...

but need to build first never know what goes right/wrong in that part

but the dream will come eventually

That sounds awesome man. Having almost completed house renovations myself, I understand the excitement. I was going to go for fixed shelving in the new room which would sit flush with the walls, but then I thought if we ever do sell (which is unlikely), the idea my not appeal to potential buyers unless they are collectors themselves.

I hope everything does go smoothly for you.

[1AZRAEL1]

Nicely done, looks like it will be a nice looking house. Owning a house is good (but expensive :p)

Fish tank - for H2O2 bathing Transformer plastic in.

now thats a good idea, its so good im stealing it :p

[Eruntalon]

I'm not sure how I'm going to seal off the top. It was going to be an extra $8-9 for a lid which wasn't air tight. I was thinking maybe a lot of glad wrap?

What do the grey pipes on the top front of the fuel tank do?

[Hursticon]

What do the grey pipes on the top front of the fuel tank do?

I could be wrong, but they look like some sort of cold air induction type setup.

thats pretty much it they feed air from the front fairing to the fuel tank to help the performance of the fuel and engine dont know the exact science behind it :o

Had to go out and buy new shoes last night because my shoes had basically fallen apart at work yesterday, went to Kmart and picked up 2 and a Half Men Season 6. On the box it said $32, but when I scanned it up at the self checkout, scanned at $15!!! Was even cheaper than the other seasons I bought.

Nice Nissan Stagea.

Is that the one running GTS-T running gear - ie RWD and single turbo, or is it running the GTR running gear.

Years ago I looked into one.

It was GTS-T with suspension work and R34 GTR rims.

After months of deliberation about which latest gen console to get, and then after purchasing six games for a system I didn't yet have, I now am the owner of a Playstation 3 thanks to Myer.

So if you don't hear from me it's because I'm off playing War For Cybertron, ROTF, Uncharted 1 & 2, Tomb Raider Underworld, Metal Gear Solid 4, or SFIV. I've got weeks of gameplay ahead of me :)

Smart choice. How much did you pay and did you get anything else with it?

[Paulbot]

$569 for the 250 GB model with PlayTV. After a long day shopping around it seemed the best deal I could find.

I purchased Batman: The Animated Series Vol 1 (http://www.amazon.com/Batman-Animated-Comics-Classic-Collection/dp/B00023E894/ref=pd_cp_d_0) from JB Hi-Fi today. The first 28 episodes of the 90s series on 4 discs for only $9.95 :D.
