I mainly went to price things so I didn't buy anything. The cheapest I saw anything go was $25.00 and that was some really old gambling pinball machines.

Was some fun though, will go again and maybe buy something this time :D

EDIT: You don't need to bring extension cords to this, there are plenty of plugs if you can keep the breakers from tripping

ScrewAttack6759d ago

actually... this is our video and to play some of the games which don't have natural extensions from the machines you need to bring a generic PC power chord and your own extension to run power through them.

It was a cool auction and we look forward to going to the one in December.

It's important in life to maintain a broad palette when it comes to culture and the arts. Hideo Kojima agrees, as he continues to use video games like Death Stranding to introduce people to music and other elements they might not otherwise discover.

I think this is how Japanese devs need to think. Catering to the west is a terrible idea. I personally, seek out Japanese developed games because they bring a unique experience to gaming. They just stand out more that way.

Eonjay44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

What do you mean when you say this is how they 'need to think'. I understand the idea of wanting to do them without worrying about Western sensibilities but I also think a Japanese dev can do whatever the hell they want. They don't have to 'think' the way some westerner in a forum says they have to think. You think you are giving someone a compliment but you are really being weird. Its not about who you are but what you do. Last year's GOTY was a western studio that made a JRPG. You didn't see any Japanese people claim that a studio in a Western company had to think a certain way. And yes, I do understand thats not what you were saying but I think we should always challenge our own viewpoints. Personally I have love the unique experiences that devs in Japan bring and I agree they don't need to cater to Western sensibilities. I only take issue with you saying how they need to think. Thats dangerous.

What he’s referring to is when a company like Atlus does a game and one of the characters per se ; call one of the other kids a retard , they shouldn’t have to censor the final product because of snowflakes all the way in America that are constantly ranting on twitter . None of these folks are real fans and only look for stuff to cry about . If you start pandering too much they end up taking more than a leg and an arm . Japanese humour is so funny but I hate when it’s censored because of “ western sensibilities “

Everyone understood the meaning behind the message but you. “I think” you need to go to the mirror, look yourself in the eyes call yourself an idiot sandwich.

The sonic music is iconic the mega drive games were some of the best on the system but i wouldn't say they were free of western influence especially since 3 was composed in part by Michael Jackson

But honestly most of the crush 40 soundtrack music lives in my head rent free

Sonic 2 Emerald Hill ❤️

Please. Doesn't hold a candle to Chemical Plant Zone.

Stopac44d ago

Uhhh that's a strange thing for him to say. Even in the interview he admits to listening to a lot of western music.

NotoriousWhiz44d ago

Inspiration and trend chasing are not the same thing.

Eonjay44d ago

I think its strange that the topic of Western catering comes up with Sonic at all. Sometimes things just are what they are.

Authentic japanese spirit is the right path
