2 sealed copies of Super Mario RPG remake for some reason

Why would you buy 2?

This piece of shit.

The installer burned to the CD had the wrong settings in the config file, essentially breaking the installer.I had to copy the files to my PC, edit the config file with the right settings, and burn the game back to a DVD-R and then it would install fine. So I had to keep the new installation disc I made in with it.

After all that bullshit, I just gave up on the game.
Oh, and it's bundled with the infamous "Games for Windows" crap, so enjoy fighting with that too.

$20 down the shitter, along with my dignity.

This looks bootlegged. I can tell from some of the pixels and from seeing quite a few bootlegs in my time.

This reminds me, I bought Blur for PC, but I bought an international version because it was cheaper. Likely a bootleg, but who's to say. I had a time getting it to work the way I wanted. However, the game did run at 60fps on PC, so it may have been the best version.

I remember Blur was a daily deal on Steam for $2.50 USD. I passed on it not knowing that it would be delisted soon after. That one still stings a little.

"Be sure to disable any form of antivirus so no files get corrupted"

One sign that they definitely slipped malware into that disc.

It's not my picture, it's a google image, but I definitely bought it new, boxed, in retail.

And I regret not buying Blur on Steam, I WANT to buy a legit copy, but nobody will sell it to me. Piracy is the only way I can play it on PC, and it sucks.

given to me for hacking a psp of a friend, never tried it.
but the thing i regret buying the most is my 1993 Honda civic del sol si. It is my dream car and i wasn't a money pit, surprisingly. i wanted to work on it myself, but i was force to pay to get it fix. car runs awesome, i drive it occasionally. to me however, it lost a little bit of magic. did not help that i got unemployed after fixing it.

Yeah, it allegedly sold under a million units, so it was another nail in Bizarre Creations' coffin. it was a genuinely fun game, and the prototype footage of Blur 2 just added salt to the wound. Bizarre Creations deserved more credit for their work.

I regret buying everything now.

I regret buying you.

But I've been haunted lately by this towel that came alive and had face in it....

Mythical Ancient Ghost I suppose like Luke would say...a case for X-Files

Was it talking like Sorting Hat from Harry Potter movies?

thebagboi · May 16, 2024

Some mobile game thingy

Remember kids... If a product is free to hook you in, then congrats... You're the product.

Now that you mention it, maybe kind of. But who knows. I had a pretty bad fever when it happened....

I bought Cubic Ninja for $35 from GameStop back when Ninjahax was still one of the only realistic ways of modding a 3ds. About two weeks later the first big Luma exploit came out and Ninjahax was all but obsolete.

I'll do ya one better. I just don't buy anymore! Nintendo games, at least. I'm usually willing to support a game company unless they have a bigger legal team than a game development team.

I hate to say this but... most JP companies tend to be cruel like Nintendo. It's just that they are the biggest name who are like that.

As it's in the pc section, Corsair power supply.

Highly reviewed, 5 supplies, all 5 had some sort of issue. Warranty was fantastic, but still hassle, so never again.

I had bought the Mayflash NS Pro 2 because I wanted to connect my Xbox controller to my switch and it sucked! There was way too much delay. Even after that I bought the Brook Xone SE adapter and it sucked too! The delay was fixed by a few milliseconds but it disconnects every time after 7 seconds.

Did you mean the Magic-S Pro 2? I don't believe there is an NS Pro.

Anyway, I have two Magic-S Pro 2's and don't have that problem. Did you try updating the firmware of both the Pro 2 and your Xbox controller?

Odd, I never noticed any issues with all the ones I've used

3 Copies of Super Mario 3D All Stars. One for me, one in mint condition and one I was gonna sell in a few years for a good price. Turns out (And I should've figured 3 years ago) that everyone did the same thing and of course the game sold 9 million copies, so it ain't even gonna be that rare in a decade or so.
