Stopped by my local Salvation Army thrift store earlier this week, and found this stuff:

The VHS tapes are a former rental copy of Vampire Hunter D, and a movie I haven't watched before, Blood Reign: Curse Of The Yoma, both 50 cents each.
The disk on the bottom right of the first pic is a 3.5" floppy, disk 1 of 2, of something called the Pressing On Screen Saver by Warner Online. Found that interesting enough to spend a dollar on it, mainly because I don't remember ever seeing any CD-type storage cases that stored floppies of any kind before and I'm a sucker for anything I've never seen before or find kind of odd.
Then there's a copy of Sim City 3000, complete. Nothing too special. Finally, there's the Rainbow Six: Rogue Spear manual for the PC version that was only a dime, since they considered it a "regular" book and sell them 10 for a dollar at the moment. I might have to do a little search for the game and see if it's any good, since now I know how to play it.

The next morning, after dropping my nephew off at preschool, I stopped by K-Mart for a couple of things, since it was close, and as I always do, browsed through the games and electronics. Found this WiiU promo book on the checkout counter back there, and it was the only one left. It's as you'd expect, just basically hyping up the WiiU and making it sound like it's so much better than anything else ever created.
Only thing gaming related I picked up there.

After that, went to a couple of other stores for things, and ended up being close to Goodwill, so I stopped in. They didn't have anything gaming-related except this, which is unopened and was only two dollars. Funny thing, I saw this same one at K-Mart just about an hour before, brand new for twenty bucks, so I think I got a good deal there.
And finally:

I was helping out my brother clean out some of his old things, and I ran across these games I had forgotten he had "borrowed" from me a long, LONG time ago and never returned. That's 2 that now I don't have to worry about buying again.
