Hi all, I just thought I would do the customary thing and say hello to all of you :) I hail from New Zealand, have been playing games for a few years now and I've even been lucky enough to find a profession that allows me to play games on a regular basis. I look forward to reading all about this very cool community, thanks for accepting me :)

Someone had posted something about selling Magic cards, and I had a similar question about selling trading cards too. Would anyone recommend selling cards to websites that buy/sell trading cards? I've never done it and always thought how much it would suck if I sent in the cards and never received payment, since I know they want the cards first. Has anyone done it?

Sorry this took so long but here as requested is the artbook from Assassins Creed 2

So I wanted to buy a new PC game as a reward to myself for doing well in college. Unfortunately, I don't have any of the newer consoles (xbox 360, wii, the like) because of said school. I just haven't been able to devote a couple hundred dollars to this, but I can afford the game.

So I'm wondering if you guys can recommend something new and recent available for PC. My computer should be able to handle the graphics on most games these days, as it was updated relatively recently thanks to my parents. (I can play WoW in Northrend at high settings with minimal lag even in Dalaran, for a reference) I thought I might get Assassin's Creed II, but it looks like that one doesn't release for PC until next year. I'm expecting to get Dragon Age Origins for PC for Christmas, so I'd like to avoid that one.

I enjoy a lot of RPGs, if you are looking for ideas on what I like. I did play Bioshock and enjoy it, even though it's not my usual sort of game.

Thanks guys. ^^

Edit: Clarified that ACII releases for PC next year, to my knowledge, as I know the Xbox 360/PS3 version is already available. Checked on www.gamefaqs.com for that information...

So I'm a 360 gamer who has just bought a Nintendo Wii so my husband and I can play co-op games together that aren't overly "serious".. We've noticed the the Wii has an "arcade" section like the 360 does, but I was wondering if anyone could suggest any fun co-op games that are available on that section for us to play! So far we only own Wii Play, Wii Sports and Mario-something 8 (you can tell I'm not a huge Nintendo fan, can't you?), so I need some suggestions for things to download! We have 2000 Wii points to spend!

Cheers ladies :]

I'm wanting a black wii but so far i've only seen them in Japan. I was thinking of buying one but i'm hearing mixed opinions saying its region locked or some say its not. So if i wanted one would i have to buy Japanese games to play?

Except for the Sims, I've always preferred consoles over the PC when it comes to gaming; plus, my computer was never top-of-the-line, so it couldn't hack a lot of the games a few years ago.

But I've recently come to discover that the laptop I have now can easily handle some of the older games - right now, I'm playing through Star Wars: Republic Commando and KotOR. I was also thinking about buying Half-Life and HL2 - is the storyline decent for that series?

If you guys have any other recs for PC games from the past several years that I might've missed out on, that'd be awesome. Combat/action doesn't matter to me so much as a good storyline.

So, I am pondering buying myself a console.
Since I am sick of not being able to play my games because my brother is ALWAYS on tha console.

My question is though, which would you recommend?
A PS3 or an Xbox?
I'm thinking quality of grapics, speed, and game avilability.
My brothrs console is a PS2 so a PS3 would seem wise since it means I could play my games on it - but if the Xbox is more versatile...

You see my problem?
So yes, which should I start saving for girls (and guys)?

So my boyfriend has a TON of Magic cards that he's looking to sell (just short of 6000 cards), but he's having issues actually selling them.
( His description of the lot on craigslist.. )

He's had them listed on craigslist for a few days, but the only people that have contacted him about them offered about $50 for the lot, which seems awfully low, but they said that he wouldn't get any more than that. Most of his cards (3/4 of them or so from what he says) are from roughly 1994-2000, so they're not all exactly recent cards, but from what he found on various price guides and that, his collection should be worth at least a couple hundred.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to go about selling these, or is anyone possibly interested in buying them?

I thought I'd show a few plushies I made for two custom orders!

I'm still open for making these. Looks like I'll be able to take custom orders until about the 10th of January. I start school on January 19th (although luckily, I picked four pretty easy classes, and don't have classes on Friday), so working on customs might take a bit longer then. So, if anyone's still interested! I'll keep my "holiday special" ($25 first doll, $5 each additional doll) until the 31st of December! If you order before that date, the special applies. Although at this point, I wouldn't recommend ordering gifts or anything; there's no guarantee you'll have it before the desired date (keeping in mind work time + backed up holiday mail delivery).
( Plushies! )

Left 4 Dead is $7.49. Another great day of cheaper games on Steam with Spore, Trine, City of Heroes, Ghostbusters, Resident Evil 6, Borderlands and Order of War. The special LucasArts Premier Pack and THQ Complete Pack are still on sale, too.

*Edited to correct the LFD version since I am a moron who shouldn't post before coffee.*

I recently bought the HP Pavilion p6243w-b desktop computer and asked around about weather or not the sims 3 or other PC games will work on it. The answer was mostly no, because of the graphics card. Does anyone no of a good graphics card that I could buy that will allow games to work good? I just started PC gaming now so I'm sort of clueless about this stuff right now.

Graphics Card:
Integrated graphics using nVidia GeForce 6150SE
Also supports PCI Express x16 graphics cards

Processor:
AMD Sempron LE1200 processor - 2.1GHz

Power Supply:
250-Watt

Hard Drive is 320 GB, 3.0 GB of memory and comes with Windows 7.

Alright, so I'm buying a PS3 this christmas and I was wondering if anyone could recommend me any good games to buy...

I already have Uncharted 2 and Final Fantasy XIII (which I am aware doesn't even come out until March) on my list but I can't really think of any other games to buy. I was going to buy Assassins Creed 2 but that was before my brother bought it for his 360 and I would buy RE5 if I hadn't already played the majority of the game on a friends PS3. So does anyone have any ideas?

Here's what I like:
RPG's
First person shooters
Action/Adventure
Fighting
Puzzle

If anyone could recommend anything to me it would be a great help :)

Greetings! I'm the one who posted MONTHS AND MONTHS ago about looking for tiny dice. XD Well I finally found some and made some jewelry! What I have up are my leftovers, anything that didn't sell at Youmacon is up for sale in my selling journal, catstered_sales. I plan on making a bunch more polyhedral dice jewelry after the holidays (ie once I actually have money to order dice ^^*). Anyway, click the preview image below to go to the post! Lots of earrings, a few bracelets, necklaces, and decorative pins available.

Okay, this really isn't for myself, but for my husband.

Are there any "newer" online fighting type games out for the PC that are... cheapish? (Say $20 or less.)
Even an older one would be alright if the price was right and it has a good amount of people online.

From what I've gathered, he's wanting something that MAYBE has real content, but can go online and he can just fight real people. (Sort of how Cod: MW is set up. Note: I know Cod: MW2 is out for the PC, but he wants to get that for the 360 eventually.)
*adding* Mostly something along the lines of a FPS.

I remember telling him about Dragon Age: Origins because of all the rave reviews here (& bc I want it) and he was very interested, but when we were in the store he was being fickle about the fact it doesn't look like there is any online play. Since there are a lot of sales going on right now/today, I figured I'd see what I could find out here. :)

If all that makes sense. ^^;

Normally I can look up games for myself easily, but his play style differs from mine. And I pretty much suck at picking out games for him. (We only play a handful of the same games.)

Thanks in advance!

Maybe some of you already know about this, but they're having some amazing sales over at Steam for a few days only. KotOR is on sale for only $2.49 and a LucasArts package with a whole ton of games (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Monkey Island) for only $49.99 (normally $129.99). I myself couldn't pass up the deal on the latter...and I'm sure there's a ton more on sale if you look around.

Got a PS3 bundle with Little Big Planet and Assassin's Creed 2 (plus a B-day present for the Hubby which he can't know about until next month)

This has been the year of Electronic upgrades and I am loving the prettiness. In the last year we have gotten a new TV, an XBox 360 and a PS3, so give me your best RPG's. I just finished Lost Oddest which I loved by the way.

Little Big Planet is so much more fun that it has any right to be by the way...

My younger sister have this game called The World Ends With You and we're currently stuck at this point on Another Day. We're on floor 13 of Pork City; the second Pig Noise is killing us... Does anyone have any tips on how to beat it? I've looked it up on various websites, but we've had no luck...

Please and thank you! :)
