Hey now,

Screenshotted a tweet I made because I'm to lazy to re-upload the images.
I did pick up a CIB PS3 copy of Guitar Hero 5 (game only) for $2.39 so there's that.
Welcome to my world, good sir. If you’ve gone thrifting as long and as often as I have, you get used to it. I can’t even begin to estimate how many times I’d see a vidya of interest on the shelf, only to open it up and find either no game at all inside, or a whole ‘nother game, usually a sports title. Hell, I’ve occasionally experienced this with games that are locked up in the display case!
Fortunately, I didn’t encounter this problem on my New Year’s Day Goodwill tour. Spanning eleven Goodwill stores and three other thrifts over the course of eight hours and 125 miles, this little crawl yielded a decent handful of vidya scores:

Anima: Gate of Memories with soundtrack CD,
$20.00 $13.00: This was an interesting find. The case sports a PEGI 12 rating, and the disc sports a PEGI 12 seal, German USK 12 seal, and Australian ACB M rating. This game can get around, apparently.

And now, a little something for RF Gen's resident Scooby-snack-swilling dairy deviant:

Setting me back a hair under $4, the Phantom Force computer has a pretty cool gimmick: the computer-- which is named Chessica, I $#!+ you not-- will move its own pieces when it's its turn.
Oh, and I musn't forget our beloved Pacific Northwest-based sonic aviator:

Whelp, that's it for now. Hope y'all had a Happy New Year; I know I sure did.
