September 9th:

Ordered some USB AC adapters to use with my PlayStation Classic, surf tablet, mobile phone etc..

USB Chargers:
a couple of 5V 1A USB AC-adapters
a 5V 2.4A USB AC-adapter with two USB slots

Other:
a couple of 10-pack of 3,5mm headphone jack diamond dust protectors, varied colors

UPDATE 13th September:
welp, the 2-pack of 5V 1A USB adapters got lost in the mail, so everybody loses, they don't get paid and I don't get what I ordered since instead of sending another pair they just removed it from my order, their incompetence is nothing short of staggering and I am definitely not a satisfied customer, I didn't want my money back, money in a bank account can't fucking charge my fucking devices now can it? unbelievable

UPDATE 19th September:
the missing package with the two 5V 1A USB AC-adapters arrived today after all, back from the land of the lost!
I honestly don't know if they sent another pair without telling me or if it's the actual original missing package, but whatever, as long as I'm not being charged for them I guess it's okay.
I don't have much use for them now though as I already bought another one with dual USB slots from GameStop in the time it took for these to finally show up, seeing as they were officially permanently lost according to and confirmed by the senders, the bank and the postal office!!

Now Playing - Februari 2019

Metal Gear Solid V Ground Zeroes (PlayStation 3)
Started a new game, it's a good game even if it's a bit small. The problems are frustrating at times but the fun you can have make up for them enough.

played some demos that were already on the PS3 Slim I bought, the two I tried out were Eufloria and Urban Trial Freestyle, both were good

Killzone HD (PlayStation 3)
Started a new game. Still my favorite in the series, though Mercenary on Vita is really fantastic too and I will play that again soon as well.
Shadow Fall on PS4 is another great one but I don't have a PS4 to play it on right now.

Killzone 2 (PlayStation 3)
trying it out, it's a LOT glitchier than I remember, but the extreme amount of invisible walls all over the place keeping you from exploring even a tiny amount are just as plentiful and claustrophobic as I remember, also I had forgotten you could carry less weapons than in the original Killzone, you can hold literally just one single weapon of choice, beise that you have a permagun with infinite ammo and grenades, if you want ANY other weapon than the one you already picked up you're gonna have to swap that one for the new one no matter how much you don't wanna drag that infinite pea shooting pistol around, no exceptions, ever, it sucks! This was a very big drop down from the quality of the original game on PS2, the only real upgrades are minor visual things like the polygonal detail, some special effects like bump maps and lens flares etc., higher screen resolution, bigger color depth and better framerates, but textures are actually much lower res than were in the original on PS2, so it's not all better (it fucking should be!).
Also the ability to play as different characters by choice (after they were unlocked) is gone as well, this really sucks as I loved being able to replay levels as the different characters to see what different paths they took and what they got to do when I was doing my thing elsewhere last time.

EyeCreate (PlayStation 3)
recorded some silly things

Sly Cooper Thieves in Time (PlayStation 3)
started a new game

Superstars Racing V8 (PlayStation 3)

SuperCar Challenge (PlayStation 3)

BAJA Edge of Control (PlayStation 3)

Columns (Master System)

Columns (Game Gear)

Columns (Mega Drive)

Total Carnage (Midway Arcade Origins, PlayStation 3)
played through it, got bad ending, not a great game to be honest, unbalanced and focused far too much to steal your money by artificially making it frustrating and unfairly hard, doesn't flow well at all, extremely repetitive, stiff and slow controls, it has some good visuals but that's about it

Loaded (PlayStation)

Tomb Raider Legend (Tomb Raider Trilogy, PlayStation 3)
Finally got to playing this and so far it's not very good, some visual problems with the new lighting and shadows engine are very apparent and don't look good at all and there have been some odd control glitches where stuff happens without me pressing anything, grandes have been tossed and weapon changes have happened mid combat when all I was doing was moving in a single direction and shooting with default guns normally, no other buttons being pressed, very annoying. It also seems to have missed some of the treasures I know for a fact I picked up, I had to replay Lara's Mansion 5 times already to pick up the same damn treasure it kept ignoring when I picked it up.
I'll see it through to the end though as I know this game very well having played through most versions of it over the years. Not a good start though, not good at all, so far it's the worst port of this version of the game I've played, not counting the GBA or DS versions as they are not ports of this version but entirely different games made from the ground up for both those systems respectively.
