Games my friend and I have played recently:
Castlevania (beat mostly by my friend)
Castlevania II (beat all by my friend)
Castlevania III
Castlevania IV (beat mostly by my friend)
Mega Man II (beat on easy in a couple hours, at Wily on hard)
Mega Man (Yellow devil!)

My friend is huge into the Castlevania series (I keep suggesting Kirby, but noooooo) and it wont be cheap getting Bloodlines and Dracula X for them although we played a bit of my personal copy of Bloodlines. My friend got about a third through the game with no deaths so it's also about as easy as CV IV I'm postulating.

My friend was also the one who defeated Dracula in CV III. I kept messing up on the second form.
Playing Mega Man 2 after CV III on either mode is comical. Night and day.

We both tired of the Pokemans and instead of going back to Wayfarer of Time I'm moving on to Link's Awakening. Have three of the instruments. Its really solid.

Who would have thought the Gameboy would have some of the best games of all time? Donkey Kong, FF Adventure, Link's Awakening. The system continues to impress. Can't wait to play the SaGa games.

Seriously, I wouldn't have put the system in my top 5 favorites even though it was the first console I owned nor do I think it would be in the top 5 best, but now I am wondering...

Also beat Portal 2 co-op. That was fun.

According to my NA inbox, I did not receive a reply the last time I sent you a message.

I had responded to a WTT post of yours that had been freshly updated. All of the games I offered were on your want list. The value was in your favor. A picture was included. We had traded before. No response.

I'm not upset, just a bit taken aback by your message to NA members.

PM'd

Time to block him.

I normally don't keep stuff laying around that I don't want, so I usually don't have much to trade. Which is unfortunate, because you have had some items in the past that I really wanted.

To each is own. Don't fully understand the trade only bit, but its you're choice. Won't block you for that.

Ive never been able to make a successful trade, but seems silly that you would be blocked for something so simple.

I wish I would get turned down for trades. The majority of the time I don't even get a response. But when I do, almost all the traders here have been a pleasure to deal with and I think I got some good deals. So, all in all, I'm happy.

I dont do trade only, but I have had several successful large multiple game trades. Maybe your items are over valued? Sometimes rarity needs to be taken into consideration vs perceived monetary "value".

Yes. You are right. That was when I was giving EVO away for the best offer.

Apologies to you LostLevels and everyone else who sent me a message for EVO and I did not reply. I got many messages and the point of that was to get offers and accept one. No haggling, you set the price.


NOOOOOOoooooooooooooooo!!!!!!


One reason I love trading is perceived value. I've made trades in my favor and against my favor (though most are rather equal). What's probably been annoying others is not rarity or value but interest. People have sent me fair trades, but often for games I already have, or have no interest in, and I don't want to turn the higher value more desirable games on my trade list into common lower value less desirable games on my trade list.

So... any interest in a factory sealed Pikmin (gamecube)?

Beat Batman Return of Joker the other day.

It's... a game.

Shame the AVGN did not get very far. There is a lot of stuff to complain about in that game all the way through.

Is it just me or are all the Megaman games after 2 annoying. It's like every enemy needs a charged blast plus one more shot to kill. And tons of spots where you have to shoot - wait - shoot - wait.

Not to say every game should be like Adventure Island, but it strikes me not as added difficulty but as added nuisance masquerading as added difficulty.

Castlevania Dracula X was better than I expected.

Added a link to more pictures of Metal Warriors, this time of the board and of the game running.
