Video Game "Look what I found"

[CRTGAMER]

Just bought myself a 27'' Sony Trinitron on CL for $75 three days ago:
It was FUNTING. HEAVY.

But, I now have the TV I've been after for nearly a decade as I've loved the look of it's cabinet ever since I first saw one as a kid. Input-wise it has two AV and one S-Video (no component, but there technically isn't much of a visual difference between the two on an SD set) on it and makes everything look amazing. Gotta love how sharp and amazing Trinitrons look!

The seller threw in the matching stand for it, but I decided to stick it in another room so it's not pictured.

Nice! This wasn't that Craigs List "26 inch" 32 inch you raved about few days ago?

I got the sticker off by using a blow drier on the disc to heat up the label and very, very, VERY slowly peeling it off. It takes a while, but it's doable.

Be very careful using a hair dryer on a disc. Low heat only. I ruined a few otherwise filty (and destined for the trash) DVDs with hot water while attempting to wash and save them. Having the hot water hit one side made the disc warm enough to delaminate the layers. They mostly looked ok, but you could see a slight color variation and they weren't recognized in drives anymore.

oh absolutely, you don't want to melt the thing or anything like that. The idea is to just warm it up enough to loosen the adhesive on that sticker a little bit. I stress to be careful with this.

I was pretty weary when I did it to my own copy, but it worked just fine afterward and still works fine now. Only other game I've removed the security sticker on is a gamecube copy of Resident Evil 3, which again still works fine with my method. I have a couple of ps2 games that need stickers removed, but I just can't be bothered to take the time to do that.

Just picked up "Worms Blast" (GBA) from Gamestop for $12.99.

Not particularly valuable, but I believe it's hard to find.

"No used products found within 100 miles of this ZIP code." Apparently so. Is the game good? (Worth $13?)

I played it for all of about 10 minutes so far, so this is just a rushed first impression.

It's not what I expected. I thought it was going to be like the other "Worms" game, where there's a strategy element mixed with a point and click aiming mechanic.

The point and click aiming mechanic is still there, but they co-opted it into some kind of puzzle game that's kind of like Bejeweled. Your "worm" gets to fire a crystal into a mass of other crystals, and putting like-colored crystals next to each other causes them to explode.

I think that's all there is to the game. The gameplay is probably worth $13 to some people, but I can't recommend it to everyone.

Phalanx (GBA) for $2.69... k. vlaros told me that this one is kind of rare. I had no idea. But it's awesome!

Nah, this is a 27'' SDTV Trinitron that was accidentally marked as 29'' and it looks fantastic, plus I get lightgun compatibility and lag free gaming for all my classic consoles which is what I really wanted it for.

Bondi Blue G3 iMac complete with Slate grey/clear plexi keyboard and pro mouse. - $25

Boots like a charm and has Mac OS 9.2 on it. I've been grinning like an idiot about it all day.

Never used a Mac at all before though, so I'm completely freaking lost as to how to work the damn thing.
