I’ve never heard of paying shipping to return something sent to you in error or that was broken.
Sounds like bullshit to me.

Unordered Merchandise

According to the FTC, you’re legally entitled to keep it.
Q. Am I obligated to return or pay for merchandise I never ordered?

A. No. If you receive merchandise that you didn’t order, you have a legal right to keep it as a free gift.
Q. Must I notify the seller if I keep unordered merchandise without paying for it?

A. Although you have no legal obligation to notify the seller, you may write the seller and offer to return the merchadise, provided the seller pays for shipping and handling.

@King9999 look up consumer rights where you are before paying so much as a penny to send that shit back.

Over here in England I know you don’t have to pay to send goods sent to you in error back, the sender either needs to send you pre-paid packaging or arrange a courier to pick it up at your convenience.

Since you’re probably in America look that shit up and see what your rights and responsibilities are.

I live in Canada, actually. I will see what my options are.

This would be nice, except they charged me for the extra order. This doesn’t apply to me anyway as I don’t live in the US.

Ah, my bad.

I’m sure America’s Hat has similar laws concerning shipping though-- Look it up, and possibly look into taking legal action if they try to get out of returning your money and paying for their own shipping.

He even had the nerve to try me what “NES” stood for

That’s fucken funny.

like it wasn’t even like in a cute manner like "I PLAY THE SAME GAMES MY DAD DID WHEN HE WAS MY AGE’
no it was him literally going “I don’t play that modern stuff. I only play retro stuff. You know, like the NES. The Nintendo Entertainment System”

I have never wanted to harm a child so much in my life.

His dad/mom is probably a retrofag hipster douche who argues online all day about how retro is superior and how he/she doesn’t bother with serf gutter trash modern gaming. Kind of like… @“po pimpus”

Did you have a kid, po? Who the fuck would want to copulate with you after hearing you open your mouth on video games, movies, and comics?

Someone needs to bring out a good Contra clone.
Contra 4 was truly the last good run and gun I played in a long time.

So good.

The spiritual sequel to Contra.

You mean the literal prequel.

The Retro Freak lets you apply patches to games. You just need to have a “Patch” folder in the RF directory.

Oh, I don’t know… Maybe the same kind of person that would copulate with a gorilla?

I like how PS2 doesn’t have a VGA option :tdown:

DC all day. Except Bangai-O which doesn’t display on VGA

That game doesn’t work on VGA? dafuq? SMH, DC all day because while they both have CvS2, DC has Ikaruga so fuck you PS2.
Meanwhile, every other generation that Sony’s been relevant, I’ve been strictly Sony. DC too fucking good tho.

Question about the Dreamcast
Would a bootdisc that works on a USA system also work on a Japanese system?
I’m about to get a brand fucking new J Dreamcast off Craigslist this weekend and my only DC games are fighters - that I wont be playing on a pad… Especially Marvel 2 with its stupid unlock nonsense.

When I got Castlevania IV that was one of the happiest days of my life. That game is STILL on point and has actually aged really well IMO. People can say what they want about Symphony Of The Night, which is still a great game, but Castlevania IV really took the atmosphere, graphics, music, and level design to the next level. Konami was such a great company back in the day, it’s utterly disappointing to see what they’ve become.

What do you think of the 8-way whip mechanic? I thought it was interesting, and makes CV4 unique since that never happened again.

One must always remember that the game has a hard mode for a reason. It will put you in several situations where the whip won’t save your ass. And the hitboxes on Simon’s whip are quite tiny, so one needs good timing in tight situations. 8-bit Castlevania aside, it offers great challenge without being as cheap as Dracula X.

It is still pretty possible to beat it on one life, but certainly not easy. I’d say it has but one REAL flaw: stairs detection when jumping on them.
