Nope, I belive it is called Retinal Myopothy, dont mind my spelling LOL. It is a common complication of diabetes. I am fully insulin dependent. Though I do get a bang out of peoples reactions when I tell em I get needles in the eye LOL. Heck, people freak out when I tell em I take shots twice a day. Such is life, now if I can just get Saga Frontier to let me do something but go back to the training area LOL.

Oof. For me, long as the heart goes before the eyes, hopefully decades from now for both. Keep gaming till that day. :D

Ah I see, for some reason I thought of regular binders that hold paper and whatnot. I saw on a Youtube video that somebody put his Gameboy and GBA carts into the 9 pocket trading card plastic sleeves and put them in a binder, but the look just wasn't for me, I was just wondering if you has a variation of that going on. Looses disc and then finding the case later on eh? That sounds like a good idea but how often does that work out? For some reason I just feel that the odds of finding both pieces to the puzzle are slim, are you actively seeking out the missing pieces are just hoping you'll come across them one day?

Sorry to take so long getting back, been away for a day. You would be surprised how many times I come across loose case at goodwill. Truthfully, more often than not I find loose cases there rather than games that are complete. I have made RE, Silent Hill, FF7 and 8 and numerous other games this way. I have also gotten some case here and other places.

Oh come to think of it I do see case-only at Goodwill, but they still have the same price that would be for the complete game. Do you take the cases up to the counter and tell them it's empty or something? I assume you don't pay the sticker price.

Yeah, most of the time they charge 50 cents or so. Sometimes they just give em to you. I got a real nice Alundra case like this. Got a disc only off of Ebay for like 3 bucks so that one worked out great.

Hint for everyone, get to know the goodwill employees. I ordered em pizza once and they have actually held things for me!
