Last month was lots of cool XBLA stuff so I'm starting this month with PSN love.

Oh yeah, my favorite pick-up of the year. My PS3 Hori VLX. Sadly, never used and in storage for a few years. Really gotta get a 360 version and make it a Seimitsu shooter stick:

Picked up a secondhand Maximo. There's a little rip in the paper, but otherwise it's fine. For €1,- I can't really complain. Also platterhouse, which wasn't exactly on my to-buy list, but the game is a ton of fun. It's not a good game though, I can totally see where the low-ish scores are coming from, it's just that...I don't think it really matters for this game. It does what you expect it to do: smash thousands of monsters to a bloody pulp. It's repetitive sure, the camera is not great, the framerate...ehh, but again it's fun baby!

I also got Mario All-Stars for the Wii, but forgot to take it home with me, so next time.

I can't seem to get upload my pic at photobucket at the moment, so I'll add it when it works again.

Click for full size.

Built my self. The grass REALLY is greener on the other side.

Nice. One thing I definitely wanna do at some point is finally build that supergun I've been meaning to construct, and then pick up the Raizing shmups that didn't come to the Saturn.

Really a shame what happened to that company.

I decided I'm going to finally build a supergun next month. My new year's resolution. I'm going to take a Hori PS3 stick (the amazon white stick) and rewire it with an old non-analog PS1 controller and connect it to my homemade supergun via Laugh's PS->jamma connector. Started buying parts and everything! I can't seem to find a Neobitz anywhere (do they still even make these?) so I might have to go with a Jrok. I think I'll start a thread early next year. You should build one too!

Nice. Look at the size of that cooler.
It almost looks like a novelty oversized cooler :lol I went to get the CM 212+ when it was onsale in august at Microcentre, they were out so they gave me a deal on that. It's gargantuan.

As far as I know, it should be a relatively easy thing for me, since I've got an XRGB-3. Which I think means I'm halfway there. I just need the jamma harness, a power supply, and maybe like one or two other minor things.

I just accomplished my most recent purchase goal (getting new speakers) a few days ago, so I suppose the supergun might as well be next... I should post pics of that shit just so I can stay on topic, I guess.... oh well, tomorrow.

Chacranajxy,

Yeah, easy and cheap. It will be a quick weekend project. Shocked how simple they are to put together. Only difficult part is making a custom case. I'm using an external dedicated Happ-Suzo power supply because I've got an extra from one of my cabinets.

Never thought about using an XRGB-3 to spool it to an HDTV. I'm planning on picking up the new version coming next year...not for the supergun but simply for Saturn playback.

I just could not settle on a controller but using the mechanics from a Hori stick is simple enough.

Don't know if I'd start collecting PCBs since it is a bit too rich for my blood but I'm hoping to get a Pink Sweets for a good price once the J360 port drops. That is my dream PCB and would complete my Ibara collection.

In any case, I'm going to make a thread so join in when you build one!

$10 on Amazon after the rebate. Been looking for a good deal on a gaming mouse for a while and kind of lucked out with this deal.
