    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    I was doing reviews up until around 2005, so even my last stuff is 5-6 years old and the later work was print/freelance stuff. Everything else is either lost to the sands of the early Internet or cached/wayback machine stuff. I definitely had a passion, but reality always steps in and it's just...

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    Grr... I had a nice long reply but Pandora crashed Firefox so I'll have to condense for take 2. Basically a "preview" or early "hands-on" should be instantly ignored. Previews were and still are often paid for to drum up positive press based on essentially nothing substantial. Games go through...

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    Oh, and yes, I knew the DQ slime keychains were regular promo items but they were limited and they are about 6 years old now. Certainly not majorly rare, but not that common to find still perfect in the original box... and they were random so the King Slime is probably tied with the regular blue...

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    I was a founder of ps2insider, which was later sold, I worked with Rottentomatoes when they first were starting up and just moving into games, I've worked with Snowball Network, UGO, and early IGN. I then went independent/freelance because at times there are too many bought and paid for reviews...

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    Well, apparently we were way low... I've been getting hammered with emails and direct offers since putting it up and we are talking a couple hundred so far. Not bad, I found and put up a cool Dragonquest King Slime promo keychain too, but it hasn't generated much interest yet.

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    I have quite an extensive collection ranging from Atari 2600 to modern systems. I worked in the video game industry for over 10 years so I have a ton of stuff. I believe recently there was a large number of new in box Dreamcasts found and being sold online for not a lot of money. I'd rather...

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    Well, I put it up, so we shall see how it goes... I don't want to link to it here because I don't know if that is against the rules. It's up top under the Video Games -> Merchandise category on eBay. I put it up at $100 which I think is fair given that it is over 6 years old, in pristine...

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    No, not attached, but I just didn't know if I should set a reserve or really where to even begin. It is cool, and I'm guessing fairly exclusive since there is no mention anywhere online. So I'd hate to sell it for $50 if it's worth a few hundred.

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    I took some quick photo's this morning, I'm really amazed at how there is nothing about this online. All of my searching so far has gone in vain. Here's the pics: The binoculars have the Metal Gear Solid logo on them and say 5x30 power on the other side.

    Metal Gear Solid Binoculars, knife, compass and case?

    I used to work as a video game reviewer and I was going through some of my stuff and found a Metal Gear Solid case with a pair of binoculars with the logo, a compass/carabiner, and a Swiss Army-style knife with utensils. It's all in the original packaging and never been used. I can't find word...

    Wireless router as an AP... help plz

    I have a Westell DSL wireless router/modem from Verizon already configured and working fine in my home. I have an old Xbox that I want to turn into an XBMC media center in another area of the house (only has wired ethernet port). I figured I could get a new wireless router that had an...

    WTB: Action Replay original Xbox

    OK, so this is a total shot in the dark but I figure someone has to have one of these laying around from an old XBMC install or something. If you do please PM me with a price. I'd really appreciate it. Else, if anyone knows of a place to get one cheap online a link is cool too.

    Budget War Hammer Online Build Help!

    I just built a new system and W:AR and The Witcher were two of my reasons. I built it for $575 but that was because I needed a new case, DVD drive, USB Keyboard, and HDD. If you have any of those you can easily be under $500. System I built: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 CPU - $120 Gigabyte...

    Case power LED blinks slowly while PC is on and running fine

    OK so now that I'm home and have spent some time with it, it does appear to be caused by the Dynamic Energy Saver software being enabled. The easy but unhelpful solution ATM is to disable it, but I have yet to find out how I can have the saver software on and a steady power light. I emailed...
