Racketman Adventures Episode 9: How to Valentine (post 80)

[mjmjr25]

Dear Racketman,

Boy do I ever want to buy a factory sealed game, but with all the non-trustworthy up to no good-doers online I don't know how to be sure the game is in fact factory sealed or a fake.

I've tried smelling the game to see if it smells like a factory, but that hasn't helped. Any advice?

Thanks,

Luke

lol Luke. Too easy.

Call Eric Nies - it's about to get real.

"How to verify your FACTORY SEALED games are Legit":

If you are like me (lol - trust me, you aren't) then you keep your factory sealed games locked up in a tough neighborhood. Whenever I go to get them - I take all measures to blend in:

Sometimes, the street tuffs are gonna try to slow yr roll, lol son, Racketman don't play:

Alright - here's my pile of sealed games. Let's find out if they're legit:

First up, the N64 Blockbuster Exclusive - NFL Blitz Special Edition / Factory Sealed (pro tip: this old cello is tough, don't mess about opening up, get the biggest knife you have):

Notice the factory H-SEAM:


Alright - opened her up:

Ok, let's see if the serial numbers line up:

SUCCESS!, Numbers match - it's a legit factory seal!

Alright, here's the one I was skeptical about:

Last time I buy factory sealed games at a pawn shop :/ --- Notice the disc and case lid are missing. This is a good sign your game is not a legit factory seal.

Let's get back on track. JP SATURN; Asuka 120% / Factory Sealed. Time to find out if it's legit!

YUS! Another legit factory seal!!

Perfect Dark, Herc's Adventures, Wind and Water Puzzle Battles, and Panzer Dragoon Saga all turned out to be LEGIT factory seals. This is GREAT NEWS!!

Alright, so, we've confirmed the seals are legit. Time to get them sealed back up and under tight lock and key. Be very careful not to ding up yr corners when restoring the factory seal:

Uh-oh, the red phone is flashing. Question for Racketman:

Mr. Racketman,

Why do you wear a 5lb bag of potatoes around your neck?

lulz. Are you 4 real? Did you recall the part about blending in with street tuffs? Try n keep up kid.

Ok, back on topic, ahh yes, the reseal:

Mike, you are hilarious an idiot for opening those games. Tell me you had 2 copies (for some reason??) of that Blockbuster Blitz and didn't really open the sealed one!

[TheBrick]

This thread just made my day. But one question remains: how much wood can a woodchuck chuck?

[Luke]

Racketman,

Thanks. I followed your advice, and have been opening every game that might be a credible factory sealed game.

So far, so good:

Dear Racketman before you go,

In episode 7: ARE MY GAMES FACTORY SEALED? On phase 3 or 4 you show a highly authentic factory reseal right before storing it under lock and key. So my question is should I use a better sealer other than black electrical tape? You know like something more cleaner looking like clear scotch tape and hot breath??

I know you probably wont have time to answer me back, but maybe when your done harvesting on your pistachio farm I'll get an answer.

You must be an amazing animal trainer. How did you manage to get that bear to pose for you so well on so many pictures?

[ninjainspandex]

ah so this is what Mike does when the kids are at school (I hope)

Racketman is back to close out 2014 the only way he knows how. Giving the plebs the rundown on some of the games he picked up this past year.

Short and sweet; down and dirty...

Racketman on NBA 2K 11':

Racketman picked up an Art of Fighting MVS kit; let's see if it held up over time:

Nope. No good.

Racketman ponders on the new repro of Targa (Rendering Ranger)

Racketman on the seductive 3rd installment of Art of Fighting; AoF Gaiden AES:

Phew. It's been a busy 2014. Time for a long winter's nap...
