So I'm becoming a big boy...

Don't make the same mistake I did. If you have a gun bring it. You'll be surprised how much crazy shit goes down in a dorm and you'll be embarrassed when everyone is pulling out their chrome and you forgot yours at home.

I didn't think it implied protecting one's gaming property...

Also, it rhymes.

At least to me, the part about everyone else pulling out a piece tipped me off to it being a funny suggestion instead of a real suggestion.

seeing as how your probably going to bring a computer why not use emulators?
oh and a dreamcast

on a side note a working bike with 2 different types of locks

Just don't do this:

[MrPopo]

I once ran into a buddy and noticed he didn't lock up his bike. He said that he never locks up his bike and has never had a problem. The next day he found his bike up in a tree.

He purchased a bike lock after that.

... and heading out to college. Just sent in my letter of intent to CU Boulder so in around 4 months, I'm be living in Colorado. Kind of a tough choice between it and Evergreen out in washington, but Boulder just seemed right in the end, that and they actually had a concrete film school, which is what I plan to major in. Anywho, I'm pretty psyched about moving out west and considering I have barely wrapped my head around the whole idea, I figured I'd share the news with my favorite fellow nerds.

So yeah, what should I bring? Where should i look for stuff? How many of y'all are in the area(Ryan, your an hour out in denver if I'm not mistaken.)? Snes or Dreamcast (or gens, n64... well you can look at my sig)? Any advice no matter how arbitrary would be appreciated.


go BUFFS!

I now live right in the outskirts of Denver. You'll find a lot of Genesis and DC stuff but thats about it. Colorado especially Denver and Boulder pretty much trash anything thats older than 7 years but many of the smaller towns still have a ton of people listing old game consoles. As far as stores I haven't found anything good in Commerce City, Denver, or Aurora but I've never really checked out Boulder much. There is an auction house off of I-70 that happens to have somebody that has a massive collection of older PC games (original Half Life and Quake, stuff like that) as well as a load of VHS tapes but I haven't been there in a month. I hope you like it here though. Just keep in mind, Its dry especially in the winter months, so much so that natives like myself get incredibly dry, chapped skin, I've actually seen (no joke) tourists from humid states have faces just bleeding from it, so be sure for at least the first couple months living here you give some love to your skin with plenty of lotion and plenty of chap stick as well as slowly condition your body to the alltitude. Other than that welcome to Colorado buddy!

And this Is how CU is according to my friend but that was 5 years ago. Who knows though?
