Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I personally hated NWN1 unless it was heavily and I mean heavily modded. It's a D&D game but you are forced to play solo, plus it used the badly broken 3.0 Ruleset where the only classes worth playing were Druid and Cleric.

It's like saying you're playing a racing game but you can't use cars, but that's okay because the only things worth using are motorbikes because everyone else is stuck in traffic.

I loved NWN... 1 not 2 though... I played and beat it twice, once as a Monk (which is quite broken at the higher levels with +haste, +movement speed, and +damage reduction) and also as a dual wielding fighter.

NWN2 was a lot better with the expansions. More base classes and prestige classes and a far better story for both. Storm of Zehir was a lot like the old Icewind Dale games and you got a fully customisable party in that as well.

Ignoring the ending of the game, which is by far the worst ending in gaming history that needed the entire final act of the game to be retconed to make the expansions work, NWN2 actually felt like a D&D game. NWN1 did not.

Installed Ubuntu Server on an old-ish laptop with no screen and turned it into a full-blown Minecraft server. It was a learning experience.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

Made a ton of money selling some stuff on Ebay this week. All my auctions ended today and 4/5 of them have paid already.

PS3 (60gig) (Broken: Blu Ray Drive not working) - $75.00 /w $15.00 Shipping
PS3 (80gig) (Broken: Blu Ray Drive not working) - $75.00 /w $15.00 Shipping
PS2 (Working properly) - $34.00 /w $10.00 Shipping
Magna Carta: Tears of Blood (Brand New, Factory Sealed) - $72.00 /w $5.00 Shipping
Valkyrie Profile: Silmeria (Brand new, Factory Sealed) - $30.00 /w $5.00 Shipping

Grand total: $286.00

Later today I'll be listing more of my old systems and games I have double of. I think I have 3 more PS2s that are working and 2 working Dreamcasts that I can easily sell 1 of. In addition, I have something like 7 or 8 factory sealed Virtual memory Cards for the Dreamcast.

Anyone want any of that before I go ahead and sell it all?

What're the type and conditions of those PS2s? I've been meaning to pick one up.

How do you amass 3 PS3's and 4 PS2's keeping all of them? Geek Hoarder?

1) What the fuck?
2) I'm tempted to buy one just because they're still new.

The PS2's are used but in perfect working condition. I had to throw one away last year (incidently the one with the FFXI HDD) because it got water damaged in my basement when it flooded. Someone decided that the box labeled "Don't put this on the floor" needed to be on the floor.

I picked them up at a garage sale/estate sale in town. The guy had no idea what they were and sold them to me for $1.00 each.

I have a rather lucrative side business buying and selling video games, componants, systems and peripherals on Ebay. I typically find things at flea markets, garage sales and yard sales and turn them for profit. When those things aren't "in season" I prey on the sellers who don't know the value of what they're selling and use them to turn profit.

Incidently, those 2 PS3s were mine, they broke one after the other and I've been meaning to sell them off. The PS2's I picked up at garage sales this summer for typically $10.00-$15.00 each. I sell them for a reserve of $30.00 to double my investment.

These days it doesn't cut it to just have 1 job.

So the enormous black bricks I could beat someone to death with then.

Sign me up for one.

Pro-Tip: Theres a ton of money to be made in buying and selling 3rd party peripherals. You wouldn't think so... but damn.

I'll post it with a buy it now of $30.00 and link you to it in a little bit.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

I'd imagine there's money to be made in selling first party peripherals as well. What I wouldn't give for a proper SNES controller to replace the ones I've got that are dying. 3rd party knock-offs just don't cut it.

Re: Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

You'll get the particularly nice one I have. The others are scratchy and have seen some use... but theres one that looks almost out of the box.

It just so happens I have 2.

I also have:

7 Game Cube Controllers (Used): 2 Orange, 2 Purple and 3 white.
3 NES Controllers (used)
1 NES Gun (Used)
2 Sega Saturn Controllers (used)
1 NES Power Glove (Used: In Box: Not for sale: It's mine!)
3 N64 Controllers (Used: all different colors... I can't remember... One is Red... of that I'm sure)
