so i have a month before work starts. which means a month of being a bum.

i checked craigslist last night and saw an advertisement for a garage sale which was to start at 8am this morning. it said it was selling a ton of sega and nintendo stuff. i figured 9-930 would be a good time to roll in, since most people who would be interested in that kind of stuff would either be at work or in class. i was WRONG.

i rolled into the garage sale at 930 and see somebody walking out with a box full of gaming goodies. :cry:

i have no idea what he bought or how much he spent, though.

Bummer man. Sorry.

I've learned that there are a lot of people out there who are absolutely ferocious about garage and estate sales. Gotta go early to compete with them.

The best thing you can do is to use Tuxthewise's optimized dreamcast releases over at SnesOrama, He's arranged the data of the games in such a way that it helps reduce the strain on the Dreamcast's laser when using backups.
Already use his work. I was more curious as to the hardware side of things i.e. cleaning and methods to prevent it overheating. Thanks though.

I liked Foster's, personally. Totally a guilty pleasure show, like MLP or Powerpuff Girls.
How could anyone like Foster's? It's so slow and dull. And 75% of the characters are annoying, rather than funny. Someone please explain what makes the show "good".

i was jealous of him. but, it probably was all just common stuff you would expect to find at a garage sale: a sega system, sonic, mario, etc.

i keep telling myself there definitely was no musha or splatterhouse there.

My friend trying to justify that CoD is a fighting game:
Friend: Well, what about CoD?
Me: CoD is not a fighting game, it's FPS.
Friend: It's fighting...with guns!
:lol:

That's pretty rare to see a garage sale on a Thursday. Just about all of them in the New England area are on Saturdays with the rest on Sunday.
