I'll be at my gramps's with an epic connection during this period. Then I have no idea how soon I'll get a stable connection.

As long as there are existing ISPs where you are moving to. >.< I mean, if in United States and to a lesser extent Canada there are cities that are stuck with dial-up (I am serious), imagine how bad it is in certain countries that just recently became or are about to become first world nations.

But again, when it comes to USA, we are talking about a country that has the city of Detroit in it.

Israel has been a first world nation for quite some time already.

^ That. Also Internet there is working pretty well so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Ah ok I thought it had been for only like 20-30 years like China and stuff. However, since it's fairly recent, I was worried since USA is a first world country since centuries, yet some areas can't even have working street lights, let alone high-speed internet.


Also, new game pickups for today!


-Space Football SNES (boxed): was cheap and looked somewhat interesting to try
-Bomberman 64 The Second Attack: Got it for $59.99, which isn't bad considering it sells for over $90 on Ebay.
-Mario is Missing NES: Crappy game, but I had been looking for the NES version for a long while since it's quite rare.

I guess it helps that Israel is a lot smaller than USA so it's a lot easier to manage.

Yeah true. Also I noticed that certain of those countries that were developed more recently tend to have developed at a much more rapid rate due to technology available elsewhere, and they skipped over the outdated technology. However, in certain countries like China, this aggressive economic stimulation was done at the expense of human rights. I'M glad this is not the case in Israel, though, although I am not familiar with Singapore other than for 84+ RAM Clears. :P


Also for my birthday I appear to have gotten Mario Kart Wii :D (not the Wii U game but I'll probably pick a copy in the near future anyway).

True. The only issue is online was shut down and you need to use a private server now IIRC, which is most likely not as popular as the official one (especially now that MK8 is out)


I don,t get why they shut down old servers when the official servers of Starcraft Original, Starcraft BroodWar and Warcraft II: Battle.net Edition are still running after 15 years.

And now I got:

Bayonetta (PS3)
Harvest Moon: A Wonderful World - Black label (Gamecube)
Muramasa (Wii)
Lost in Shadow (Wii)

Bayonetta was free since it was a 3 for 2 promotion. I got Muramasa elsewhere.

Also I saw a copy of Shadowrun for the SNES for $59.99, but even though it's very rare I didn't buy it because I'm not a big fan of tactical RPGs


By the way, don't ever bother about Odin Sphere for PS2. It's garbage IMHO. If you like plaftorm-based action RPGs you're better off getting Muramasa. In Odin Sphere, all you do is talk to people in a castle, then  when selecting a stage on the map, all you can do is battle enemies. There's absolutely zero exploration you can do in this game, while in Muramasa you at least wander accross maps (albeit a bit repetitive) and grab some items or stuff, while randomly encountering enemies.


EDIT: After some store trade-ins I managed to grab An American Tail: Fievel Goes West for the SNES and Wild Arms 2 for the PS1. However I think my old SNES is wearing out because most scaled sprites no longer display properly, same for top-down view mode 7 effects. It might just be dirty connector but every game with such effect seem to do that now. In general, most games are still functional.
