I acquired a copy of Soldier Blade US in a trade that has some damage to the back. Here's a picture: Soldier Blade damaged back (http://lochlanmcintosh.com/share/soldier-blade-damaged-back.jpg)
It looks like the game was left in the sun. Nonetheless it appears to run ok. I soon-after bought a replacement copy (boxed, woo!) so this has only been played a couple times. I can confirm that it's at least playable to level 3 (it's a touch snug in the Hu slot lol), no idea if this game is "100%" functional but it appears to be. Obviously the damage is pretty severe, so who knows?
To enter, just make a post in this thread requesting entry.
I will use some random method to determine the winner at an unspecified date in the future.
Rules: [ul][li]Anyone may request entry, but I reserve the right to withhold entry or remove someone entered.[/li][li]I will pay shipping, worldwide. Although if you live somewhere really remote (I am in the US) such that shipping is really outrageous, I wouldn't turn you down if you offered to help cover that cost.[/li][li]You have to actually play it. Bonus karma to the winner if they post photos of themselves playing :) [/li][li]You must not already own it. Please, be respectful of this rule--and don't flip this on eBay.[/li][li]If you ever get a replacement copy, please re-raffle this one![/li][/ul] This raffle is as-is, no guarantees. Please do not enter if you have a problem with that.

Thanks for the heads up. Definitely won't be entering him. His post history is really telling, it's basically predatory raffle entering (lol) since he's just seeking to exploit people who would do giveaways such as this.
And actually, I am so put off that he has made it worse for everybody else: I'm going to be a little more discriminating with whom I add for the remainder of the raffle. Post count is whatever, but I'd prefer if the person requesting entry had added some value (i.e. respects signal-to-noise) and has a minimum of ONE thoughtful, interesting, or at least really-funny post.
Edit: aw yea post number $ff

Ohhhhh I get it. Like when you cheat on a woman, then like an child she chases you around, stalking you, trying to tell every woman that'll listen what a dirtbag you are, instead of moving on. Makes total sense now, you're the woman scorned.

No, this is more like watching the backs of my newcomer fellow OBEYers, so they don't get f*cked around by you.
So, you're kind of like that stripper with herpes. You put on a nice show for a little bit, but then you flare up and f*ck someone over.
It's our job to make sure the new guys know.
Sorry you can't accept that you're a giant f*ckup.

Actually if you dig deep into the posts of you and I going back and forth. Members have clearly stated we should BOTH shut the f*ck up (yes BOTH, which includes you). You should check into that, it's true. I'll TRY to take their advice, although I may still have breakdowns and reply to your stalking/sniveling.

It was less than 5 years ago, for starts.
It's also not whining, or stalking. It's informing, and normal forum browsing. Sorry you feel like you're being followed. Sounds like insecurity.
inb4reallystupid macho tough guy reply about being completely secure.
also as for thread derailing, here is a novel idea, Roy.
shut the f*ck up already. All you offered in this thread was fake bullshit anyways. Poseur.

Ha, your're right! It was right when I deleted the Gouging Much thread and Necro created the new one which was on: August 03, 2010, 01:18:57 PM. 3 years, 6 months, not exactly my rough estimate of 5 but for the sake of arguing I'm sure if I had said 3 years and 5 months you'd still argue just because it's me.
Updating the signature with 3.6 to avoid more tears.

I would like to take this opportunity to warn everyone about myself (while it is in style).
I give bad advice, particularly in response to questions that don't qualify as "good" questions. I also photoshop a lot of stuff, so you can't trust much of what I post. I'm also very slow to send out raffle prizes (sorry valentine's day haiku raffle winners, i haven't forgotten!) and sometimes (all the time) surf the net too much while at work.
I tend to stink up the bathroom at work, too... and I wait until lunch time to do it, so everyone eating in the break area has to hear it and knows what is in store for them if they dare use the lou before clocking back in.
Also, I have yet to open my sealed copies of Madden and Sonic Spike. They've been on a shelf. I'm a collectard.
I'm sorry.
* nullity inhales sharply, and exhales deeply I feel much better with that off my chest.
p.s. still don't want in on this raffle as it isn't VGA graded, but kudos to you, lochlan, for the genrosity!

Thanks everyone, and oh, I've won a few other things in raffles here: 1) CD-Rom bootleg of Sapphire from Mishran?, 2) A sealed new copy of "Far East of Eden (Tengai Makyou): Kabuki Den" from Bernie, and 3) a Youkai Dochuki / (AKA "Monster Diaries" or "Shadowland") HuCard from Necromancer although I didn't really win it (somebody else did), Necro just threw an extra one in my direction.

It would appear a US Namco division chose "Shadowland" for the Arcade version when they brought it to the US which is how that title got into usage, thus it's not "wrong" per se. Sure, it's a liberties-taking title for marketing or whatever, but yeah.

Update: I received the game yesterday. Smooth sailing. But honestly, when I look at this HuCard, the poor thing, it's a miracle that it actually works. I still can't believe it. It looks like our buddy Bernie here once owned it and it met a fateful encounter with an unattended blow dryer and lost... ;) You can see the imprint of where the 2 memory cells are and I didn't think it was gonna be able to slide into my Express, but it did so just fine. I played and finished stage 1, no problems. Might post a video for the hell of it later.

Even SD* HuCARD's deserve a loving home.

The real winner here is the fine engineering for making nigh indestructible hu-cards. I'm really impressed that the thing works.

Congrats on winning an awesome raffle and getting a fantastic game. My copy of Soldier Blade also has damage (nice melted thumb print) but on the front. Gives it character. :)

Sweet! If you made a video of this poor HU in action, I'd watch it. :)

better a "with damaged back" soldier blade, than a "no at all" soldier blade.
