Had just finished the abortion clinic quest and had done most of the side quests. So pissed off - had done so damn much in it! :mad: Now just starting all over again as a Thief since I was playing as a warrior the first time. :(

On the plus side, at least you have a reason to re-play it again and try something different. I only have time for one play through. Too many other games to play and no enough time.

Really? You didn't save a proper slot once? As a life long gamer who has learned the hard way to always keep a save game slots, I find someone relying on just auto-saves as a bit...strange...

Damn, I back my saves up everywhere. Even offsite and on my own personal SVNs and stuff. I spent to many hours in some games to risk losing them :D

Well you could count the games I have bought over the last few years on the one hand of a clumsy carpenter. I'm more of a gardener than a gamer these days so my experience with saving games on the PS3 is somewhat minimal.

That's the attitude I am trying to take :)

Been on a retro gaming kick lately, and my current obsession is on Banjo Kazooie, I've always LOVED the first game as a kid, but never got to play the second (Banjo Tooie) so I've been looking around online for a cheap copy, but they all seem pretty expensive. what would you guys say is a good price for Banjo Tooie on N64? (most likely second hand, with no box or manual, just cartridge)

Must be the season, been giving my old faithful Saturn a good run lately, with a vertical Shmup angle. Oh man, there are some corkers.

About $50 sadly

If you got a 360 there is a very nice HD re-release on the arcade.

Let me dig thru my N64 cartridges, i might have a copy to pass onto you cheap. Not sure what games i have. I loved the Banjo games, except the Nuts & Bolts crap.

Hey, thanks man I really appreciate the offer, but earlier tonight a family friend told me he had a copy of Banjo Tooie that he would give me for free since his N64 is busted and he's never going to play it again.

I still really appreciate the offer though and if he didn't have it I would have definitely taken you up on that offer (assuming you did manage to find a copy amongst your cartridges.) :)

and I agree completely, Nuts & Bolts was absolute garbage. I got it for $16 not long after it came out, played it for all of 5 minutes before putting it back in it's case, never to be played again, and to this day I still feel cheated out of that $16

Good to see you got a copy, and for free! I couldn't find Tooiee among all the games, until i went to play my N64 and it was sitting in the console.

So many awesome games on the N64: Perfect Dark, SW Shadows of the Empire, Mario 64, Goldeneye, International Superstar Soccer, the Zeldas, Top Gear Rally, Wave Race. Might have to have a retro weekend this weekend. :cool:
