My Top 5 Favorite Game Series I Own

#5. TALES OF....



Best: Tales of Symphonia (Gamecube)

Worst: Tales of Phantasia (GBA)



I didn't know anything about Tales games until I played Tales of Symphonia on Gamcube. I like Tales of Symphonia very much. With me, it's the best Tales game ever and I have 3 copies of it: 2 on Gamecube version and 1 on PS2 version.Every versions have different OP songs. Luckily, I found 2 rare Tales games:Tales of Desitny I & II on Ebay 2 years ago with a reasonable price.

#4. ACE ATTORNEY



Best: Phoenix Wright 1

Worst: ????



Very good series. Love it when I played the 1st version( I am a huge fan of Detective Conan and Kindaichi so it's easy for me to fall in love with detective things) . Why do I have Jp Ace Attorney? Because I didn't have patient to wait for the US verions.

#3. NINJA GAIDEN



This game was the reason I bought and kept the Xbox. I beat the original Xbox version over 9 times but the Black and Sigma verions I only played them 1 time.

#2. SHENMUE



I like the story very much although the gameplay is not good but it is not bad. So, I went to Ebay and bought some Jp,EU Shenmue versions for my collections. I have 3x Shenmue I version(1 NA,2 Jp) and 3 Shenmue II(1 NA,1Jp,1Eu) including What's Shenmue?. As same as Ninja Gaiden, I have to keep my Dreamcast console to be able to play these games. PLEASE, MAKE A SHENMUE III ,SEGA.

#1. SUPER ROBOT TAISEN



I know it' suck with no Final Fantasy but the only FF game I like is Final Fantasy X.

Super Robot Taisen is my best series games and I have a lot of them on every different consoles(from SS to X360). I bought the Jp Gamecube because I wanted to play Super Robot Taisen GC and the Jp Xbox 360 for Super Robot Taisen XO( a remake GC version). With me, if there is a new Super Robot Taisen game out, I will buy it with no regret

A Home Theater Audio Receiver

I called in sick today because I was not in working mood. I returned the Onkyo TX-SR304 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver which I bought from Circuitcity on Tuesday because my old speakers are crap. Brought the Onkyo TX-SR304 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver back to CC and oop! I forgot to bring the receipt but luckily for me since I paid the item with my credit card so I could return this one without receipt.After that I spent 30 minutes at CC to find a home theater audio receiver that includes speakers and got this Onkyo HT-S3100 5.1 Receiver/Speaker System for $299.99. The box is huge but it is not heavy for me and my friend to carry. This receiver sounds awesome with me so far. I don't have any problem with it yet.

Photobucket

Here is the new set-up:

Photobucket


PS3,Xbox 360 with HD-DVD Add-on, Toshiba HD-DVD Player A3, Phillip 1080p DVD Player,Japanese White PSP Slim and the new Onkyo receiver system. Kujibiki Unbalance figures are on top my Phillips DVD Player.

----------------
I brought these stuff to the other room. Inside the boxes are some video games,dvds.... that I don't have time to put them on Ebay yet and I don't like the "new" Ebay policy(Sellers can not leave negative feedbacks for buyers and right now I'm having 4 buyers who win my items and don't want to pay for them)

Re-organize my room.

This week and last week were so busy. I have to work and ship the items that I sold on Ebay. Over 100+ video games sold and I made a good money. Memorial day was boring for me. I stayed at home and because I had an extra day-off so I did clean up a bit and re-organized my room.

Photobucket
It's time to clean.

The reason I want to re-organize my room because of this Init TV stand. I bought it at Bestbuy on sale in this week for $141.xx(after using 12% off coupon) I really want to move my Westinghouse 42" LCD to a better place and here it is.The box is heavy and luckily it fits my car. It's time to assemble it.

This TV Stand was very easy to assemble and it took me about 30+ minutes to make the job done by myself. The black glasses are very heavy but this stand looks very stylish and slick. I am very happy with this product.

Blu-ray player: I have it
HD-DVD player: I have it
5.1 Surround sound system: I didn't have it.

So, today I went to Circuitcity and bought the Onkyo TX-SR304 5.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver. I bought it at local store because it will be easy to return if it has problem. The Amazon has this reveiver with cheaper price than CC. I planned to buy 7.1 but 5.1 is enought for my small room. Tested it and it sounds great.

The end of a video game collector

After being a video game collector for 6 years,I am kind of getting bored of video games. Actually, I have no time to play the games I buy and when I play new games,I feel I do not enjoy them like the old days. I remembered 4-5 years ago when I didn't have a job and only had a little money from my parents who gave me. I bought games and enjoyed them very much like Kingdom Hearts,Ninja Gaiden,Silent Hill 2,Shenmue,FFX...one game could get me 1-3 months to finish it. But nowadays I barely touch or play the game I buy. So, I finally decided to put the games that i don't like and play on Ebay.

I also got 3 import CDs which I ordered from CDJapan. Actually I didn't want to order any CDs but they had 500 yen off coupon which ended on April,30 so I decided to use it. I usually choose EMS shipping for fast and safe service because I usually order a lot of import CDs from them but this time I chose Air Mail shipping(7-14 days/take up 8 weeks) and the items went fast. It only tooks about 3 days to my mail box.WaS!
