Again with the big post all at once, sorry, I'm just in a competition with Zagnorch and feel like I need to catch up or something....
I'll start with some kudos I should have given out earlier:

there's a video game in there somewhere!
Haven't seen much old PC hardware here in awhile
Russ hooked me up something awesome!!! This drops my total Hu Cards down to 5 remaining!
Nice!
You're welcome! Somehow I live in an area with multiple limited release homebrews put out each year. Bunch of long time hardcore gamers here in the rainy NW I guess.
I am so jealous of Optimus Prime.
He told me that the tabletop version is waaay better than the Teletraan-1 port.
The Teletrann-1 port eh?....Actually that thing makes me wonder what a vector based Zaxxon port would be like. It kinda looks like one in the pic.
Picked these up on clearance at Half Price Books
I wish we had HPB in this area, you guys make it seem like some magical place.
I've got my pickups from the past 6 weeks or so, sorted by outings. Just prior to this was one of my "spendiest" phases ever.
Me too! Me too....
After waiting a couple weeks from when I first saw it, until it went on 50% off at a thrift store, I picked up another Playstation.

Any guesses why I picked up such a filthy thing to add to the stack of 4 I already have?
They don't sell for nearly as much as they once did on eBay but I now have the 3 major variants, plus the miniature one, I hope to have a "what's inside" blog up soon covering the SCPH-1001, SCPH-5501 and SCPH-9001
Wife and I went to the Cowlitz Gamers for Kids show this month. We go every year, it's mostly a gathering of local sellers and collectors. Good stuff and better prices than PRGE. Time to talk to sellers too and have a good time. Going in I didn't think we would buy all that much stuff, or spend much money but, we did.
Wife is into the Kinect now so we've been buying those games, there are more than I would have guessed. Had to buy at least one Genny game, there was another 3DS game but we sent that off to the nephew already, keeping Pilotwings to send to him later. There were more Wii games but we gave some away to a friend.

Bought some hardware, one because it was so random and the other because why wouldn't you want to play GB games on the Gamecube? Just need to figure out the lack-of-disc issue now.....

INTV games! This is mostly what I thought I would be buying. Have about 70 of them now, out of about 120 in the library.

Found this complete Wii just before we left under a sellers table. We've wanted one for a while so we're happy to have it. Although it ruined my hopes of staying and bidding on a nice Tandy 1000 setup they had at the silent auction
can only spend so much money on games in one day you know?

Once we got home and I was going through stuff, I looked behind the Wii Sports disc inside it's sleeve. A bonus! A DVD movie someone had left in there!

What movie I wonder?

A thrift find later on in the week yielded three more remotes as well as some remote accessories like the wheels and motion pluses and some other things not in the picture like grips and stuff. Good timing on that find!

At lunch time during the Cowlitz show we took a break, got some awesome burgers and walked to a thrift store. You know how when you are looking for games in the CD bins you can find cool stuff? Well other than games, you know what else you can find? CDs! They are so cheap and plentiful nowadays. Got these for $1 each, at those prices I'll buy any album I'm even remotely interested in. Plus, I had something to listen to while cleaning all this stuff.

Shaq Fu you wonder? I'm trying to go for a complete Shaq Fu collection, not really but I like saying that. It has a cool ad though:
[img width=700 height=651]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1508/26604562725_78d0b7c11f_o.jpg[/img]
and with lyrics like this:
TIM-BER!! They're all gonna fall cuz
The world is mine, all mine
Quick to treat between the line even Ray Charles ain't that blind
Pass me a Pepsi, forget that freakish Snapple
MC talkin head then I will smash him with the alley apple
Erick Sermon, Redman, Shaq
Three macks, you look for somethin wack you get smacked
Boom-pow-ping, da-ping-pat
Shaq, is back in effect, so how's that
We did find some games at the thrift too:

Blade Runner had a cool bonus with it. Why would you keep this? Either you want the box or not. Don't you know if it runs on your PC? I really want to ask the person why? Hopefully it runs on my machine, 2MB video ram? IDK....at least we know krunch can run it.

I was lucky enough to win a part of the RFG fundraiser raffle! Some other awesome members sent me some awesome prizes! I totally forgot to take a picture of a sweet SMB t-shirt though, it is awesome though, trust me.

We played Flux and Boss Monster 2 the other day with some friends. One of them really liked the first Boss Monster and was excited to try this version. I really like the art both on the slip cover and the box itself.

So back to the Cowlitz show. Walking in there I knew I had to go get that game for Duke (top of post^^^) right away in case of a sell out. It was only available at the show and in limited numbers, but there was also a limited release 2600 game. I don't know why exactly I got it, I'm not a huge 2600 collector or anything, It is pretty awesome looking though and all the money for both games went to the shows charity. That map is silk and already unraveling
[img width=700 height=637]https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1625/25999892693_309014ec3e_o.jpg[/img]
Since I bought both that 2600 game and Dukes NES game, they gave me this poster as a bonus. Pretty neat looking I think.
