The Revenge of the Post Here When You Get Something New thread

Found someone selling some absolutely fantastic animation artwork. And the best thing about it? Loads of them come with their original hand painted backgrounds - which are stunning.

Here's a background from the Double Dragon cartoon



And just look at the quality of this Street Fighter background! Absolutely amazing.



Kind of gaming related as it had an arcade board. I fecking love this. Jack and Hannah sitting in the back of a Cadillac with dinosaurs running after them. Talk about summing up the whole show!




Any if there are any Brave Starr fans out there...



There may be more... :eek:

Wouldn't mind a link thrown my way either. The only way that post could have been cooler if there was some Jayce or Ulysses artwork

Today's buys, pretty pleased!



So 50cc on MK:DD is pretty damn fast, forgot about that when compared to MKWii and MK7, wow!

The best mario kart there.

Well done on Super Mario Sunshine, while it might be the weakest 3D Mario that still means it's better than every other 3D platformer on any other system so far, certainly Sonic Team wish they could make a 3D game as good as Sunshine.
The gloopy effects of paint are lovely, as are the portal effects, not to mention some lovely levels in there, not to mention some harder stuff.
I wonder if they'll go back to the 64/Sunshine/Galaxy POV Mario titles or are we to have 3D Land/World types instead?

readyletsgo

I loved 3d land, 3d world has done nothing for me at all, makes me actually not like Mario so I hope they go back to the full 3d Mario next and leave 3d world for the 3ds.

Ah Sunshine, the ugly step child of the 3d Mario's, I personally love Sunshine, I never understood the dislike of it. I never finished it so this is my chance to do it all over again. I lived the fludd, lol such a silly name, the bits where you 'float' onto fences with it in the early stages, gives me such Squee moments when I think about it.

Would love them to port it over to the 3ds or even make a sequel to it, but the chances of it coming to VC on the WiiU are very slim I think sadly. Only due to the pressure buttons that don't exist on the WiiU.

Oh, maybe a HD remake, announced in the next direct this Thursday, to release in March, for €20! *wishful thinking*

CiDeRmAn

I'm sure it could be done, with Fludd control on the touch screen.
Its a lovely bright game and I'd love to see it reach a wider audience, though given the performance of the WiiU thus far i might sound cruel there without meaning to!

Not sure what's not to love about 3D World though, in my opinion its amazing.

readyletsgo

Yeah, I donno, 3d world, bought it, played it and just wasn't that impressed with it. I seem to be in the minority camp now of '3d land was better'. I think I just enjoyed the actual 3d effect in 3d land. I donno, maybe I'm just done with new Marios for the moment. Maybe next summer I'll pick it up and really enjoy it, something just not clicking at the moment for me.

On HD sunshine, I'm sure Ninty can work some magic like you say and get fludd working in an even better way on the WiiU, here's hoping!

Man, completely forgot about Cadillacs and Dinosaurs til now.

Only think I saw a few episodes as a kid but remember it being great.

o1s1n

It was a really great show. The animation always seems a bit higher quality than your usual Saturday morning cartoon.

Bought two more from the same guy. He has a load more I want but should probably call it quits for the moment.

Bowser's castle background from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon.



Another one from Cadillacs and Dinosaurs. (€7.00! :eek:)

Optimus Prime

Do you have a link to this guys website?

o1s1n

It's actually an ebay store. Will post the link now as the auctions I'd been watching are over.

He has 10,000+ listings, most of them animation art.

http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=&_ssn=icollect-online&_sop=1

Best thing to do is search his listings for a cartoon you may like as it takes hours and hours to go through the lot.

Here's his Mario stuff for example

MrVestek

He has some from Adventures of Sonic The Hedgehog too.

Very tempted come pay day...

o1s1n

He had a great one of Robotnik's face taking up the whole screen. I was outbid though

That's one down side of these auctions, the seller is in the US so many of them end in the small hours of the morning - making sniping impossible unless you're going to stay up.

On the plus side, not many people are actually bidding on any of them.

Here's a really nice one of Tails I was considering buying last night.

MrVestek

What size are these animation cells usually? Would they fit in a standard frame for instance?

o1s1n

The Japanese ones I have are all 13X9 on average. You get some oversized ones for big cinematic scenes, but most will be under that.

The backgrounds are another thing now. Most of the Sonic ones seem fairly small though.

As for framing, if it's a really fancy expensive cel then you want to get it done professionally.

Seeing as these are so cheap though I wouldn't be too concerned about archival level to be honest. Just try to make sure it's out of direct sunlight as that absolutely kills them.

So guys, a little direction if you can, I'm thinking of getting a PSP (not the Go), is it worth getting? What games do you recommend?

I dont want it for hacking tbh.

Thanks.

I swapped away my PSP a couple of years ago and got one recently again for playing legit games.

However, soft modding them now is so simple it's kinda hard not to do. It's not even a proper soft mod. You just put a file on an SD card and run it when you want the console to go into soft mod mode.

Otherwise the console is stock when it boots.

CiDeRmAn

Yeah, it's worth getting.
There's some nice stuff there, I'm sure the lads and lassies here can recommend plenty of RPGs and such but I really enjoyed it for the great PS2 franchise releases.
What I mean by that is there are two superb Ridge Racer titles, although the second one has everything you need in there, looks the business.
Also in a pair are Wipeout Pure and Pulse, very very nice Wipeout titles and far superior to the PS2 game.
Burnout Legends is outstanding, essentially a greatest hits of the first 3 games and a lot of fun, reminding many that the series was once about avoiding traffic rather than smashing into them.
But the best of the best is the superb port of Outrun 2006 on the PSP, perhaps not in HD like the XBLA edition but there is so much more in there, and it is equal to the also superb Xbox port from many moons ago, probably worth owning the machine for this title alone!
Elsewhere there's spinoffs from both Jak&Daxter and Ratchet&Clank to be played, as well as Locoroco and it's sequel plus Patapon and it's two sequels.
Not to be missed either is Lumines, a stunningly goodlooking puzzle title with some great music, integrated into the gameplay.
And the nice thing about all the above is that they are probably for sale in Gamestop for a fiver each!

I am looking at the PSP Street at the moment on amazon, I'm a little confused, can I use my PSN account on it? Is Wifi on the Street edition? Or should I get an older model?

On the list of games to get so far are....

Wipeout Pure and Pulse
The Second Ridge Racer
Burnout Legends
Outrun 2006
Jak & Daxter, think I got these games a few months back on PS+, sweet!
Ratchet & Clank

Awesome thanks for those recomendations Ciderman!

Bit of a sale starting this month on PSN, I see Monster Hunter Freedom Unite is €4.49, Never played a MH game so this could be a good starting point cause I am a little wary in getting MH3 on the 3DS for some reason, grinding....

Retr0gamer

If you like RPGs then the PSP is pretty much essential. Loads of great RPGs on it. Jeanne D'Arc, Tactics Ogre, Persona 3 Portable, Ys Oath in Felghana and Seven, Riviera, Knights in the Knightmare etc.

I don't see how you'd be able to use a PSN account on it if it lacks wifi capability.

Retr0gamer

If you have a USB cable you can do it with your PS3 or PC.

Ohh. That seems kinda silly.

As in the same USB cable I use to charge my PS3 controller? I do have a Magic Gate Memory card at home, 8gb I think so sorted for that, unless Sony have changed the memory cards for this Street Edition....

Just had a quick look in Gamestop on Henry St. for PSP Street and games, €100 for the Street edition new, in white? I dont think so! Second hand €79 in black, nah. I want the box too.

Games, they pretty much had nothing good except a lot of shovelware, and anything I'd be interested in was on or over the €14.99 mark. Guess this purchase is going to have to be an online buy. :pac:

CiDeRmAn

I'd watch for the Slim'n Lite 3rd gen PSP, you'll pick one up on Adverts I'd say.
The machine is region free too so feel free to import or trawl bargain bins when on holidays.
Gran Turismo for the PSP is worth getting too, maybe the game is a little dry but it is stunning to see.
