Flash Hucard Review

Flash Hucard Manufactured: Gaming Enterprises Inc Price: $45 (plus $7 shipping) As much as I love the PC Engine, some of the games for the system have become quite rare and to build up a decent collection can quickly add up to hundreds of dollars. If you also want the ability to play American Turbo …

I’m going joystick Cr@zY!

I’m learning one weird fact about myself over the past few days: I’m not as good as I once was in fighting games. My skill has severely slipped and I need to get back into the game to increase my once mad skills. Okay maybe not “mad skills” but I at least won a few …

Review: Which Joystick Should You Get?

With fighting fever at an all time high and EVO 2010 is just around the corner, I have been receiving numerous emails asking the same question: “Which joystick should I get?” Now instead of constantly repeating myself I figure it would be a perfect time to break down the four more common easily attainable joysticks …

Cable Hack: Use both the RCA Audio & HDMI on the Xbox 360 for FREE!

HDMI is sweet but with my recent purchases of aftermarket gaming headsets, I needed a way to dual use both the HDMI cable for video while still using the RCA audio for the headphones. For the PS3, it’s easy: just plug them in change a setting in the audio settings and viola, you are done. …

Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection

Have you been interested in jumping into the insane convoluted world of the Metal Gear series but don’t know where to start? Well, now you can just buy the completed box set of each and every canonical Metal Gear game all on your PS3.

The Legacy box set comes with Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2, Metal Gear Solid 1, Metal Gear Solid 2: HD edition, Metal Gear Solid 3: HD edition, Metal Gear Solid 4: Trophy Edition, Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker HD edition, and Metal Gear Solid: VR missions along with two Ashley wood digital graphic novels all for the paltry amount of $49.99. That’s cheaper that a standard PS3 release!

It looks like I’m about to double dip since I never got around to picking up the HD re-re-release of MGS2 and MSG3. I feel a little dirty now. Preorder your copy of Metal Gear Solid: The Legacy Collection at Amazon!

Kickstarter: Omega MVS Shell Replacement

Here’s a pretty damn cool Kickstarter that can use your help!

Omega, the makers of the incredibly overpriced Consolized MVS console, has a kickstarter for a Neo-Geo MVS replacement shell that makes your bland MVS cartridges look more atheistically pleasing like the AES carts.The bland look of the cart is only an issue to people with consolized MVS systems and can be an eye sore in your living room. Personally, I love the look of the VHS like monstrosity that is the MVS cart, but to each their own I guess.

The Omega Shell is a very niche product that I hope one day will actually make it into full production. So if this is something you would want to do to your MVS collection, then jump over to their Kickstarter and donate today, because without your support, this project won’t become a reality.

Pinekast 169: Warning! It’s Another Pinekast

Categories:

Podcast, Videogames

by

Pinekast169So in this week’s show we talk about gamer homes, with Jango denying that his home is more adult than Baldy is willing to let on, also shitty Chinese food in your neighborhood is better than Baldy’s home.

Also,there was so much damn Star Wars talk that I had to snipped it from the show then slapped it on the end of the Pinkast. Seriously, we talk too much about Star Wars.

I also want to note that we did talk a lot about Video Games!

(Duh)

So this week’s show is a wee bit late but we aren’t going to let server issues stop us from broadcasting the feed!

(^__^)

This week we talk about Asians in comics, how bad-ass Deathstroke is, more random cartoon talk and gaming talk about how Jango is a wuss at horror games.

The usual.

Your Pinekast Will Go Live Eventually

Categories:

SNK, Videogames

by

MML2ServbotOne of the many joys of running a truly independent website is the many wonky issues that crop up from time after time. The site is solid, everything is is going yet we can’t seem to be able to actually upload the show onto the servers. It’s a weird hiccup that the servbots are trying to figure out. Sadly, they aren’t the most reliable but at least they’re cute, no?

The ironic thing is that we actually have two Pinekast waiting to go live as soon as this irritating upload glitch is resolved.

(Sigh)

So in the mean time: relax, drink some tea and maybe check out some of our Pinkeast archives while you wait.

Sorry for the delay.

Gamepedia: Cataloging Can Be a Pain.

Categories:

Format War, Homebrew, Videogames

Screen Shot 2013-04-21 at 10.55.40 AM

So I decided to break down and actually do my best and catalog my game collection. Being a Mac user I had some great cataloging programs to choose from and at the end of the day, I decided to settle back down to Gamepedia since I actually purchased a license on the program, two computers ago.

I was tempted between Delicious Library 2 and Gamepedia. While the interface of the Delicious Library 2 was tempting, the ability of Gamepedia to search several databases like Mody Games, Wikipedia and most importantly Amazon, made this the simplest choice, for a guy with a lot of imported games.

The UPC scanner is a neat feature with this program. All you have to do is have your isight take a photo for the UPC code and the program will search the data base for your title. The data that pops up is usually correct, but then I will spend the time to add new photos reflecting if I own the box or not and fix any incorrect information as needed. This is pretty convenient for titles that have UPC codes but the ones without, you can just do a search on the game’s title.

All in all I’m trekking along with home-brews and imports being the only road bump towards my ultimate goal of gaming organization. Gamepedia is a great piece of cataloging software that should be a must buy for Mac users. This is something I should have follow through years ago.

Remember, it’s never too late to catalog your junk.

SkypeoutSo Skype crash on us hard. So hard that the first 45 minutes of the show was recorded but the file was never finalized so I now have 1.6 GB of bad data that was supposed to have been the intro. Worry not my dear Pinehaeds, we still have over an hour of amazing material like Jango going on about the Sega Master System, Baldy keeping quite, Tenno actually behaving and of course Decepticreep with the mixture of heavy breathing and his disgusting sinus whistle. Serious DC, blow your nose. (Yuck)
