You have to be really careful with goo gone on ink prints like this, though. You can easily bleed into that ink and get a runny mess if you're not careful. I really don't recommend it.

Resistance 3 came in a few minutes ago. Love the Sackboy Chimera preorder bonus too!

SNES game #23 in my collection, thanks to GAFfer keeblerdrow.

I've never played it, but I remember it being on the shelf at Funcoland and not having any idea what the hell it was about, or why it was in such a large box.

Now I just need to figure out how to safely get that Best Buy price tag ($29.99!) off without damage.

blow dryer to heat up the glue, then a slow peal, i'll then remove the residue by dabbing it with a paper towel that has some lighter fluid on it. Lighter fluid is a pretty good solvent for glue, but don't pour it on the box.

What also works for getting glue residue off is to use a soft (and clean!) eraser and slowly rub over the area, usually gets off the residue after a while.

Interesting. In my area (I don't live in the boonies) we didn't get them until the very late 90s.

Same thing in my area. You learn something new everyday.

Wasn't he going to make a thread that really showed off his room?

Someone did make a NSFW setup thread so Toy Soldier could post his pictures without being hassled. He didn't end up posting in that thread though.

I didn't even know that was a Fleshlight, thought it was a thermos. Haha.

They probably had a lot of problems selling to Spain, like customs holding stuff for too long and customers getting impatient or things simply getting lost in the mail.

 

[Zing]

I have that exact bottle of goo gone. I have used it many times on DVD and CD cases, but never on cardboard.

My current plan is to use a hair dryer to heat the glue, get as much off as I can with my finger, then a q-tip with just a drop of goo gone on any residue.

i don't think people are bragging about buying random games and things, it's just somewhat fun to see what stuff people are buying.

Personally i would leave the sticker there. It is a small sticker and it is very nicely placed in the corner. I think that stickers like this adds more nostalgia to the game

I think this thread helps to know when a product is released or the existence of some things, or to know some store sites.
I've known about Arkana Hearts euro release for this thread.

 

[Sofo]

They probably had a lot of problems selling to Spain, like customs holding stuff for too long and customers getting impatient or things simply getting lost in the mail.

I guess, it just feels weird they send to the rest (or most? Didn't really check with detail) of EU countries like France and Italy, to name a couple.

Bragging? I would understand saying that for the rare occasion someone posts their house/car

Spoiler

and even then I wouldn't consider that bragging, more like a personal achievement of the poster

. Bragging about buying games that most if not everyone in this game forum can buy? Really?

 

[Hitoribhoshi]

I though so too! and also the "ho! I didn't know that I wanted that too but now I do" effect and even first toughts about products etc

 

[rukland]

I had not picked up comics in awhile so I grabbed my hold pile last week. I know I am going to have more next week. And I figured out at last which of those two games to get.

 

[pseudomyxoma]

I totally wish people would post more non-gaming stuff like this sometimes. I find it fun actually, but I do remember some people getting all salty about posts with food in them a while back

You're trying too hard.

 

[SkyMasterson]

I agree. I love seeing what games people get and whatnot.

Though it gets absurd when people literally post everything, like shoes, clothes, food, wallets cars, etc.

I personally don't care, and even enjoy it to an extent. I tend to think of this thread as "what did you pick up that actually mattered to you?".

 

[NathanMcMahon]

I like everything that gets posted. Even the sex toys. Maybe especially the sex toys. If you don't like the thread, maybe you should just not read it or post in it. Of course Trolly Troll McTrollersons can't help themselves.

I had heard murmurs of Gamestop.ie replicated their coolness with R3 like they did with Deus Ex.

Lo and behold this was awaiting me after school

Anyone who ordered regular got it apparently

A day early too!!

Yea, I mean I'm not butthurt about it or anything. I just personally find it a bit silly, especially considering this thread is in the video game forum.

Maybe have a separate thread in the Off- Topic forum?

I know your new and may be unfamiliar with the etiquette for this thread, but you calling it "silly" and disparaging other peoples stuff that they post is not accepted in this thread. You should probably re-read the first post.

 

[DidntKnowJack]

If you don't want to participate, don't post.

Personally I enjoy these threads (a lot) because I'm a sucker for slick packaging. Plus I like to see what everyone else is into at any given time. And I didn't even know Scarface was out on blu-ray until I read through this thread.

 

[Zing]

Maybe if I had personally bought it at that price instead of 10x that price, sure.

 

[Zing]

If we moved every thread that seemed "silly" to a few people, the gaming forum would be almost empty.

 

[SkyMasterson]

I didn't mean for it to be disparaging. Let me rephrase.

Posting a food product or a shoe in a thread thats located in a video game forum seems silly to me. It would be better suited for an Off-Topic thread.

With that said, it's not a big deal as I continue to browse this thread regardless and enjoy it. Just making observations and a possible suggestion.

Edit: Zing, you missed my point man. If a thread is video game related(whether it's silly or not) I wouldn't think it should be moved. Just non-video game discussions.

Anyway, this is getting out of hand now. Time for me to post a pic now
