It's been, like forever, since I posted in here. I have been lurking though. You guys had a pretty awesome run there for awhile....I should have jumped in and commented more. Still seeing some great stuff show up.
Collecting has kinda slowed down the last couple months for me, no real reason, I'm just off doing other things i suppose. This isn't to say I haven't been buying games, just not the collectable sort. bombatomba made me buy a Humble Bundle a few months ago, which caused me to sign up for Steam, which caused me to buy more Humble Bundles and more Steam games. In a short while I've ended up with this:

119 games, 80 of them installed. Thanks bomba, look what you've done
Almost forever ago, or several weeks ago, I can't remember, Zagnorch sent me and the wife this:

There is a package of Zagg wipes, a Little Mermaid cart which was lovingly wrapped in GTA:SA wrapping paper, a Skylanders bag (where would Zag get that I wonder?) and some Hyrule money. Oh, and there was a calculator too, I wonder what gave him the idea I'd like that?
It's been so long since I've posted in here I wasn't even sure what I had shown off before, there might have been some more stuff too, I know there was a power brick for the older 360 model I found for a dollar or so....The three PC games were less than a dollar each. Virtuoso is sealed, although I think it originally came in a bigger box. Legacy of the Wizard was something I bought because my NES collecting has been so slow this last year. I paid the high price of $3 just so I could get
something. Oh for the days of $1 NES tapes.

The laserdisc collection is growing faster than I thought it would. Bought these at my favorite thrift for 10 cents each.

A new guy to the site, bickman2k, sent this stuff to me. We've been trying to figure out what I wanted to buy from him for more than a year now, I settled on this but only because I would have bought about 300 other things from him if I didn't stop somewhere. TI-99/4A games, now I'll be able to make good home financial decisions while managing my budget for personal real estate and adventure.
The Neo Geo Pocket Color games are Metal Slug First Mission and Turf Masters, pretty excited to have a Metal Slug game.
Pick Axe Pete! is a label variation for my Odyssey Two collection. Somewhere I got the idea I should get variations for it when I can, maybe the idea came from Tynstar, you know how he's always saying stuff like, "we should get label variants and it's okay if they're loose because you can't play boxes" or something like that.
That graphics card is the real winner here. It was what I most wanted from bickman. It's a late nineties, Voodoo2,
3D only graphics accelerator. The plan is to put it into my Win 95 machine I've been building up since the late nineties. The best part is this is will be the machines second 3D card. SLI baby. Will write blog when I get to that project.
