Re: Ludopathy, can it affect gaming?
In South Park, Satan talks to Stan about addition as Stan had had a problem with spending ALOT of money on a freemium mobile game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B29YStCYorY As a psychologist in training I can tell you it's actually pretty much spot on as to the views of modern psychologists.

Advice on First Console Buy
I'm contemplating buying my techanally first retro console (and by technally I mean the first purpose purchased console and not just one that I bought new and now is retro). I saw a Sega Megadrive/Genasis in a second-hand store recently the price is fair but I was wondering if this is a good choice ...

Re: Recording Gameplay: EasyCap?
PS3 in 450i would probably be horrible but I think I might just go for it and see what happens. Thanks for all the info though

Yeh, I knew it would be crap (in comparison to more expensive gear), but can you see the images and is it better quality to filming with a camera pointed at the screen (which is very shit).

Recording Gameplay: EasyCap?
I want to record gameplay for upload on YouTube. I'm not that serious about it so I don't want to invest too much cash into it. Also I'm not very good at the hardware side of gaming so I came across this thing called EasyCap. I was wondering if it was any good; it doesn't have to be the highest qual...

Re: One Console to Rule them All
The PS3 is backwards compatible with the PS2 and PSX, but also has great classic collections on it like Sonic's Ultimate Genesis connection, all wrapped into a fairly nice wireless controller with HDMI. There is also SNES9x available for the PS3 which is really nice, too! The PS3 is NOT backwards c...

Re: Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
There's a rather depressing (yet great for me) trend where I am where people buy games for just-came-out prices, play it a couple times (or finish it) and then sell it at a pawnshop for a quarter of the value. Then it sits on a shelf for a year until it's snapped up by me for less than $10AUD (I've ...

Re: Is Gamestop Evil? The Good, The Bad and The Ugly
We don't have Gamestop here (as far as I know) but EB Games is just as big and it used to be my go-to store until they started to faze out all the retro stuff and now they don't even stock PS3 and Wii Games. Now I won't even enter one. It's Gametraders all the way now (and for online fullyretro.com....
