"Retrotek SCART to Component Converter" Review (SCBV1P3)

Image
I do not like spreading negativity out there, but I needed to warn people about this device. I bought this for 80 dollars on ebay; I'm not gonna link from whom, because he or she does not deserve more sales of this awful device. When it works, it works, albeit with flaws. The image produced is sharp, as a component-video signal should be, and the colors are accurate, except that there is a green tint to the entire picture. I've read that one has to open these things up and adjust the 'pots' inside (an electrical term) with a screwdriver. I never really tried doing that or minded the green tint too much, because it's very subtle. What I did mind a lot, was the fact that sometimes, it won't work, and I'll only get audio. This is a big problem. I wouldn't mind the colors being a little off, or there being some 'noise' in the video-signal, but when the success-rate of the thing actually working is 50%, it's a deal-breaker. I paid 80 dolla...

"Finishing" Games And "Backlogs"

This post on Reddit really bothered me. It was about "finishing" games. Here is the response I began typing, after which I decided to turn into a blog-post instead of a comment: What does "finishing" games really mean? It depends on the game and the person. Some people are content with going through the story once and that's it. If that is true, would you consider playing through the story on the easiest setting sufficient? I don't know about you, but if a game is too easy, I find the experience to be extremely boring. Although based on this definition of "finishing" a game, it would suffice, I would not enjoy the experience, which would defeat the purpose of playing the game to begin with. Why sacrifice your enjoyment of playing a game, just for your satisfaction of saying you "finished" a game, or more probably and accurately, for your left-brained, egotistical satisfaction of a adding another game to your pile of "finished...

White Japanese Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad (Controller) Review HSS-0137

Image
As a recently new Sega Saturn owner, I knew I had to get the Sega Saturn 3D Control Pad because it was the definitive controller for playing Nights Into Dreams. I decided to purchase the more aesthetically-pleasing Japanese version. Upon first inspection, it is noticeably big - bigger than it should be. Sega was probably going for form over function here, because the round shape does look like a mini-spaceship or UFO, which goes with their theme of space with the Saturn itself, but it is not the most ergonomically comfortable controller out there. For example, when playing six-button fighting-games, it is difficult to hold the controller in the left hand and 'piano' the buttons with the right. The d-pad is a little different from the American Model 1 and Japanese Model 2 controllers'. It feels a little stiffer. Of the three controllers I have tried, it has my least favorite d-pad. On the plus-side, however, it features the best start-button of the three. ...
