I got up to put the dvd in



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Never got caught. Kept renting from there until it went out of business. I remember my cousin saying he rented something like Double Dragon 3 and when he put the cartridge in, it was Kings of the Beach Volleyball or whatever. My brother and I just laughed at our handiwork.

 

We stopped in the SNES era, though.

Have you ever wondered that maybe it's your fault it went out of business? :O

The owner is a magistrate court judge, now. I used to go see him all of the time when I was a cop. Never had the heart to tell him about what I did as a kid!

I bought EU4 to play EU4. Good god the next month was an absolute train-wreck for me. Thank god I didn't have work, or they would've fired me for not showing up. 



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).

I went to a Gamestop to get a Bleach DS game I couldn't find online. Apparently it was rare enough that they made me sign something saying I couldn't get a replacement copy if anything was wrong with it.

That probably doesn't sound very impressive...but I hate going to game specialty stores so it was a big deal for me.

I paid about $1000 for a new computer just to play Ultima Online (plus the cost of the game and monthly subscription). I had tried it out at a friend's house, and the whole experience just blew me away. To give context, not only was this the first real MMO, but at the time I and most other people had very little experience with the Internet in general.

On top of that I mostly played the game at night, because my roommates were getting mad whenever my internet use would tie up the phone line during the day.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

For me it was Everquest, I already mentioned paying $150 a month on phone bills for that, however I forgot to mention I got my own phone line just for playing Everquest. I was still living in student housing at the time with a shared phone. And yeah, pc wasn't cheap in those days and EQ was a pretty demanding game. I mostly played at night because of the cheaper phone rates. Dial up internet, 800 ms ping times, those were the days!

In 2015 I imported all the non-localized Yakuza games including 5 and 0 and with the help of guides I manage to beat all of them and understood their stories just fine.

Well, I talked about this before, but I gave one of my friends a blowjob to play Smackdown vs. Raw.

Ok I have to ask.  Absolutely no disrespect or judgement here, but how in the hell does that happen?  Like did he not think you would actually do it and he was just like, "fk it" once you started?

 

I just don't see how a "friend" could have you do that just try a game.

I've rented a PS1 to play Final Fantasy VII then after that weekend I forced my brother to pay for half of the purchase on the console (or else he wouldn't get to play).

I've purchased a 3DS because Smash 4 was releasing on it a few months before on the Wii U.
