I told myself I don't need it and i have a system called the dreamcast to collect for. Got home and played last blade2.
I'd like to congratulate you on having good impulse control. Way to go, mas. I have the bad habit of buying too many video games. One of my new years resolutions is to quit buying video games until I have played every game in my backlog.
Thank you. You know how hard it is putting good games and systems down. I am just glad I took my oxbox that's modded and hooking it up to get any retro game fix. I put it away last year aroundspring because roms and emulators don't feel the same as a real cart and console. But since I have a bad habit the xbox will do me ok and control my urges. But today and tomorrow im going to get into Spiderman and soul reaver for the dreamcast.

Another Candy cab within driving distance to me:

Trying to figure out if I can justify another cab (this would be my last for sure) This one actually came up for sale a while back in another city a little farther than this one (I know its the same cab because of the control panel and stand) for more than the asking price here. I would like to see if I could get it down to 400, I would already have to work on getting the control panel back to stock (do not like the American style stuff in there) so that would end up costing me a little more.

Made my weekly run to the pawns.

Keeping GTA V, and Mobile Suit Gundam Journey to Jaburo which landed me at around $28 with taxes.

Was waiting for GTA V to drop some more but couldn't pass it up :P. Could have probably got it for $7 since the guy didn't even notice it was priced till I told him :P. Was happy to pick it up at $24 though.

Picked up Journey to Jaburo since I sold my copy when I was younger. Remember it being a really cool game but the difficulty level killed me when I was younger so I tossed it in a yard sale :P.

Discount day at Savers.
Eternal Sonata $4.80
SNES $10.40
N64 $14.40
Battle Arena Toshinden $4.28

The SNES has some issues. It's chipped but I have a dead one I'll swap the shell out with. More importantly, there are vertical lines on the screen while playing games. At 1st, the graphics were completely scrambled and I used a card with an electronic wipe to clean a bunch of crud from the pin connector. It got better but still a huge problem. I hope I can just swap out the pin connector from the dead one and all will be good. Even with the chip and teh broke RF, at $13 minus 20% I'm taking the gamble every time. The N64 is frickin' perfect (cosmetically too!) except for some dust.

I don't care how many of these systems I have, it's still pretty exhilarating to find stuff like this at thrift stores especially now that there are so damn many sharks grabbing my damn games right before I get there. :oops:
