Super Mario Advance 4 for $7.50, and knowing the price heights that game can go on there, it's a freaking steal. Too bad it's out to be a bust at this rate. My only hope is that it actually did ship without any kind of notification, which has happened in the past.

I'll have to check the values on my GBA games, I have SMA 2-4, M&LSSS, and a few other first party titles laying around. NEver thought they'd be worth anything nowadays, since they're too modern to be retro and too retro to be modern.

Is that a 3DS XL in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me? ~ZeroAX

Enjoy, I friggin loved that game. Excellent in pretty much all aspects, definitely one of the best JRPGs this gen. I'm sure you'll like it.
Oh yeah I absolutely love the Tales series. Picked of Tales of Destiny 2 (the Japanese PS2 game) at PAX East and I'm going to get Tales of the World: Radiant Mythology and Graces f later this year. I'd like to one day own all the North American games at least, but damn Tales of Destiny II (aka Tales of Eternia) is getting expensive these days.

:) Much better day today.

Yeah I picked up Tales of Destiny II (US) quite awhile back, it's always been fairly expensive for as long as I've known. Not sure what I thought of the bit I played of Destiny, but some seem to like the second one a lot more I believe.

You'd be surprised. Pretty much anything GBA made by Nintendo is going for $10 and up, mainly from the Mario, Zelda, and Metroid series.

But it ends up being a smile now -- the seller finally contacted me, and will ship the game tomorrow and apologized for the inconvenience. They made things right. :)

Yesterday I went in for a hemoglobin a1c test (blood sugar index over a three month period, diabetes thing).

Back in January when I first got sick and landed in the hospital, they tested me and came up with a 15% a1c, which is ridiculously, dangerously high.

This morning, I got a phone call from the diabetes specialist at my doctor's office. They already have my results from yesterday, 5.7% percent, which is fantastic. I would have found out the results next week anyway, but she was excited enough about my improvement that she made it a point to call and congratulate me.

Feels good! :mrgreen:
