    I have always thought expensive limited lighters like this were a bizarre thing to purchase, but these are lighters I would be interested in buying if I smoked. (or used a lighter more than a few times a year, period.) #sega

    That Saturn might be worth it...

    The Genesis as well...

    But the only way they'd get money out of my was if they made the original Sega Master System into a lighter.

    I've spent a lot of money this month. No buy for me.

    - Last Remnant, Ninja Blade, Mirror's Edge, Lost Odyssey -- 60 bucks

    - Brutal Legend -- 60 bucks

    - Mario & Luigi 3 - 25 bucks used (!)

    - HRAP EX-SE -- 145 bucks

    - IIDX Empress Complete -- I'm afraid to say

    - Tomosuke - Marble Re-Edition -- 45 bucks.

    That's a lot of bucks. Another time, another place, you and I could've been pals, Mega Drive lighter. Forgive me... #sega

    @mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: If your paying 145$ for a arcade stick, your better off building one your self. People really make way too big of a deal about stick building. buy a xarcade diy board, buy the adapters you want/need, buy the arcade parts you want, build your own custom case with the buttons positioned how you like them (I like snk positions, I just did two rows of them for 6 button games)

    You could even buy the cheapest used(even broken) sticks and simply replace all the buttons and sticks. #sega

    @Sniper257: Just a few minutes ago. The Ryu CD with the extra disc is probably why I did it and I have buyer's remorse already. I should've just gotten the Special Edition Instead. I mean, I'm already getting a two-disc game, and the last time I got something that said "Roots26" on it, it was a figure that looked like total ass. #sega

    @sereal: I just wanted a HORI stick that had QDs that would work with 360 without me having to carve out the PCB (so the HRAP 2 SA was out of the question). Seimitsu parts are just a bonus. #sega

    Sega Saturn, still my favorite console. Still sees use, even today. (I just got a copy of this game in the mail yesterday. [www.hardcoregaming101.net])

    @TheCleaningGuy: It's easy enough for you to stumble through it. Honestly, the only Saturn import which ever put me off due to the language barrier was The Conveni, its sequel, and some other complicated game whose name escapes me at the moment. Real Sound, too, but that's a given. You may never get the full sense of satisfaction trial-and-erroring your way through, say, Sakura Taisen, but it can be done fairly easily. #sega

    @TheCleaningGuy: Yeah, like Kobun said, there are very few games that can't be blindly stumbled through.

    I kinda started doing this sorta thing back in the PS1 era, importing JRPGs and such. Didn't have the Saturn back then, but I was always jealous of all the cool stuff they got. #sega

    @the7k: Is stumbling through games you can't understand really that much fun? I mean, maybe action games or stuff where the text and such doesn't matter, but a storyline heavy JRPG? I would get bored with them pretty quickly if I didn't know what was going on. Grinding is so monotonous. #sega

    @Bayshun: Most JRPG stories are pretty generic. Moreover, any good game will be able to use more than words to get across what exactly is going on in a game. Finally, most of the import RPGs I play don't use grinding as a game-lengthing scheme (Super Robot Wars series especially, considering there are a limited number of battles in the game). #sega

    @Strider Kojiro: SUDA51 is LOVE.: Yeah, HG101 is a wonderful resource.

    And I think part of the reason why Dreamcast doesn't have as soft a spot in my heart is that... everybody knows the Dreamcast, and gives it credit. Few give the Saturn credit for all the excellent games it had (Guardian Heroes alone makes it a system worth having). It'd kinda like we're part of an exclusive club or something. #sega
