Been 90-100 degrees consistently here too. I mean, I'll take it over the cold, but it's pretty intense. I feel bad for my dog more than me though.

So, 103 degrees today. Since Ryan and Sabrage chose not to bitch about it, I will take up the responsibility. To sum up:

AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGHHH!!!!!!

Dang.

It was only 93 here and overcast all day....and then it rained.





Thank god. All that rain dancing last week finally paid off. Now maybe all the plants wont croak.

On a related note, I just picked up Heroes of Mana today. Looks like it got terrible reviews all around. Although, Children of Mana was panned by a lot of critics and I loved that game.

Children of Mana got panned for being derivative. Heroes of Mana got panned for being absolutely unplayable. Your mileage may vary but I think you'll end up agreeing with the critics on this one.

2 words. Air conditioning.

At one point around 3pm our Ford said it was 111 degrees.

Believe me, I enjoyed the AC when I was able, but unfortunately I was stuck out for most of the day.

It sure felt like 111 though. Jeez.

D000d go to Goodwill and be amazed by the selection of $1 DOS games.

I went to 4 locations today and they were dry.

Keep checking. I'm not all that big into PC gaming, but when I do find something I like (Phantasmagoria, Europa Universalis III, Medieval/Rome Total War Gold Edition) they're almost always complete, in excellent condition and cheap as hell.

I second this. You won't find something every time, but thrift stores are unrivaled for getting old PC games CIB on the cheap in my experience.

I am in awe from the videogame look what I found thread.

but a cloud of darkness has invaded my shiny thoughts.

What if the owner of the donated stuff wants it back?

please hear out my scenario:

MOM: "Boy did my son in College leave too much stuff here"

DAD: "He's in school for the next few years. I'm sure whatever he left behind he doesnt need it."

MOM: "Lets donate it to that chartiy thrift store. Look at all these games! I'm sure he's outgrown them."

DAD: "What? He still has them!? Our son needs to learn to let go, he's a grown man now. Pack up those things and lets call so they can pick this stuff up."

~~~~

what's gonna happen when he comes back home to visit, and finds his prize collection gone?

Lets hope hes not a racketboy member, or has a friend here.

hey everyone.

Right now I just saw on mexican cable a (spanish dubbed) episode of auction hunters.

In this episode they find Random things and an old MS. PACMAN arcade machine.

They take it to a vintage gaming seller. And he wasn't interested. They said they were gonna restore it and they take it to a person that "helped them restore" the MS. PACMAN machine.

but heres the strange part......... The restorer looks suspicously like NATHAN BARNATT

heres the episode. Which sadly I cannot view in my country. Can you guys take a peek (somewhere toward the end) . Maybe I'm talkin BS. But the restorer guy had a stare, a beanie on top of his head and had some facial stubble. And there is a videogame involved.

Now that I look online, there are accusations of this show being a fake/fraud. And nathan is a paid actor, so anything's possible.

TV is shady business.
