(please move if need be, thanks) Was just thinking.... for those still picking up PSP UMDs... anyone interested in trading ? Games, movies......? If so, Maybe we could start a Swap Thread here for JUST PSP Game and Movie UMDs ? Thoughts? (mods, if this is ok, lmk and I'll kick it off)

hey everyone THANKS. Yeah, my psp is modded, but i only have a small memory card (actually 2 2GB, I'm trying to find an 8GB) I've now got Star Wars Renegade Squadron UMD, Syphon Filter Dark Mirror UMD Socon Team Bravo UMD and GTA Liberty City Stories UMD ---trading etc.... I do have access to every iso/cso of course. I'm the type, if you got one UMD, should you download or just pick up more, if you got a bunch of downloads, why get the UMDs, ahhhhhh.....asprin.. I'd kinda like hard copies of some main titles I thik, and then load up a disc with others (Unless I find that 8GB card...) ---> And yeah, DS has some TERRIBLE games, But there are some gems! STILL Play Metroid Prime Hunter... ok, so I suck at the second level. And play it with Rumble is cool. (and...sadly I admit I got hooked on MArio Kart.... there, I said it, but don't expect me to be putting mario stickers everywhere.) later

So, I got this new toy.... PSP got it modded... now trying to decide which games to get started with.... i am not a huge gamer. a single game can keep me a year. Examples... Nintendo DS, I love Metroid Prime Hunters, Mario Kart, Touch the Dead (Zombies !), Mortal Kombat No clue in the PSP waters.... Killzone looks neat, and Metal Gear Acid, Star Wars Renegade Squadron, Wipeout Pulse, Legend of the dragon. How bout some Best of PSP Lists folks ? (maybe a tag line for it's best quality) THANKS !

I have a Crimson DS Lite and the R4 Cart (100% game compatibility) LOVE IT I can't games on a large screen, makes me sick, the small screen is perfect. However, I am currently trying to pick up a PSP too... why? Here's what I'm finding (i have not played the PSP much yet, for what it's worth.0 DS LITE---- Game INTERACTION. With the right games you feel PART of the game. you know the PC games you have to use the Joystick or Mouse AND the keyboard.... kinda like that, but BETTER. Some games use Voice too. Amazing. I can't imagine playing an Adventure 1st person shooter without the Touch Interface. PSP ---- Game DEPTH. No doubt the graphic and sound quality, and power, is much greater on a PSP. So, it's DEPTH VS INTERACTION. Kind also the kind of games you play. Nothing like shooting and stabbing a ton of zombies right where you want on a DS, haha. I plan on using a PSP for those "different" games that I really want a deeper, longer story and be wowed by the visual play-- and for movies. But for all-round, pickup and have fun, it's the DS Good luck PS- AVOID THE WHITE DS LITE, they had early hinge faults... if possible, get a later black, blue or Crimson !

i think thats the one Summer Glau is signed on to be at...grrrr... wish i could go.... anyone want to donate a plane ticket <grin> jim

Hey so im getting ready to paint my first mini! im using acrylics. i want to prime my piece first, but i dont need a complete paint, only parts. i dont know what to use... I bought a spray can of basic flat white primer that primes, seals various items including plastics for painting. also, I bought a small brush on bottle of Multi-purpose Sealer, semi-clear tole-paint type that says use as a basecoat or for "adhesion properties" over slick materials like plastics. Add equal acrylic paint for color. Thoughts? If one is better than the other, or one completely wrong etc... i want to be able to return it before i try it out, if anyone has experience with this? thanks kindly for any helps. jim

hey so im going to get Full Page White Label Paper there are generally 2 listed types, one for Inkjet, and one for Inkjet & Laser. I want to use LASER PRINTER. I've printed cardstock on Laser printer before 9also listed as not for laser printers) with no problems QUESTION------ can you use LAbel Paper that is not listed as "laser" and still print with the laser? I will be sealing them with clear coat anyway... should it really make a difference? A company (dollar store type) called DESK TECH makes them CHEAP !!! compared to $10-15 at the stationary store... Anyone ??? thank you kindly. (ps- i know decal paper is best, but just not the route im going at the moment.) jim

$24 freak'n dollars shipping if you have the fortune of living in Canada !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hey Zombie, can ya elaborate a little... green stuff leaves much to the imagination -- especially in the middle of cold season, hahaha --- do you mean green milliput? thanks jim

hey all thanks for all the help folks. ive been trying to source supplies to try my hand at customizing some minis. seems supplies are VERY sparce around here... making it really difficult.... trying to find substitutes causes a lot more error and expense... if you can weight in on two questions it would be appreciated. 1-- Scupley vs Milliput --- ok, i understand Scupley requires baking and Milliput is airdry direct onto the figure if you want. I like the milliput idea, but it's not here.... i will have to order from the UK. Is it worth it? How do folks bake sculpey onto the Mini without affecting the mini plastic? (example, if i want to build a mask part or arm that requires building around the mini part itself? This isn't a problem with Milliput, but is Milliput as mouldable, and worth the hassle? (oh, and there's different milliput, expensive superfine white, black, cheap yellow/grey) 2-- So, I've decided it just isnt worth trying to get decal paper for the time being.... I plan to try with simple white label sticker paper... i have access to laser printers too... i understand to spray seal the paper etc...BUT.... software to actually design the faces and decals..... I don't have ANYTHING on my computer and buying Illustrator etc is NOT a consideration. I looked "briefly" into something called Gimp, but what i found requires you to search all over the places for various files to compile on your computer, and then it only looks like a photo enhancement program, not something to create the faces or manipulate something you might import from the internet.... Anyone ???? Thank you again for any assist. Jim

hey, a decent SF/action "drama" that has Summer Glau as a lead actress gotta be at least ok <grin> watching the second half of the preimere 2 hour now ! and i'd be up for both Terminator mini sets !

just sitting here watching Space, (for you US folks, think Sci-Fi Channel) now playing? Trekkies 2 what can i say but...... oh my. i've attended my number of conventions in the past (i claim "work assignment") and secretly enjoyed a number of them. but.... oh-ho-my but hey, a happy folk, can't knock that

was wondering if anyone has done some Megaman minis, and have any pics anywhere... im sure it's prob been done, love to see what folks came up with, and if they stayed true to Minis, or hacked other lines into it ? thanks, please post pics if you got any !!!

ha! thanks, that's where i found the review to begin with (grin) but locate one in the world outside of reviews.... i like the dainty facial expression... very nice and minimal. Except for Lo, one of the most recognizable minis in this line. would have liked to see a better choice for hair.... thanks again mate, jim
