The Metal Gear Out: Revengevengevengeance

[Inferno.]

Have it on PC and can neither be fucked to dig it out nor to play it.

Which sort of makes me question why I want Skyrim in the first place, but still.

Just treat yourself to another Gameboy cartridge.

I'm not paying £5.99 for the one copy of Donkey Kong Land 2 on eBay that doesn't look like it's spent the last 15 years lodged up someone's arse.

[TheRealSpiders]

You play as a bald version of Dizzy? Epic!

A MUST BUY.

[Inferno.]

A MUST BUY.

I KNOW RIGHT? I'm not buying it though, thank God for JTAG.

A lot of the games my uncle got off eBay for his Gameboy came in terrible condition. Even if you find someone advertising a copy that's in good condition, a lot of them sell you a copy that's got a ruined case/cover.

Take from this afternoon's GoodWill/flea stops:

- Naki GBC multi-taps, sealed, X 3
- SNES SimCity
- 15+ DBZ VHS cassettes, still shrink-wrapped
- Old Pac-Man cartridge, from Vic 20, or something..
- Several PS2 Dual Shock controllers
- Resident Evil 4 GC (Opened it up to find it missing the FIRST disc, DAMMIT....I'm such a fan of the whole damn series, though, that it was worth it for me to get the minty packaging, paperwork, and disc 2 for $.99....)
- Few shitty GB/GBC games
- Pile of giant Calvin and Hobbes collections
- Few 70s D&D manuals
- Several decent figures
- Another GC system (I really have to stop this...nearly bought another X-Box for $18...ughhh..)
- Asstd.

.....And on the way home, a litre of Old Fitzgerald Prime Bourbon.


I dislike having to wait five more days before I get to hit the second-hands again.....today was decent enough considering we only hit three spots...

True. Sometimes I wonder if I was the only child on the planet who actually attempted to take good care of their possessions.

I hereby declare this day to be the international flying squirell day. May you all soar majestically through the sky!

As you were.

I bought Super Probotector a while ago, and it said "Gonzalo" on the back. That may be my nickname, but how did the seller know? :

I was brought up to look after my things too. Mainly because it helped increase re-sale value.

Easily my favourite holiday other than rabid coyote day.

So I've been thinking about the whole Christmas thing, and I've decided that the last time it was Christmas for me was 2006:

1. I got an Xbox 360 with Project Gotham Racing 3 and Perfect Dark Zero from my Mam and Dad for Christmas. I was so over the moon, my uncle got one earlier that year and I played PGR3 to death on his Xbox. Then being able to play it at home...

2. My Nana was still alive, therefore it felt like Christmas by default because of how over the top her house was decorated.

3. I was only 15 or something, so still quite young.

Christmas, you fucking suck.

I wonder if you'd get negative feedback for selling loose carts with words like cunt, cock, fanny, tits etc written on the back?

It was yours when you were a child but you were forced to sell it to help pay for the legal fees after you ran over the school bully with a combine harvester. You got off on a technicality, but you've since blocked out all memories of the incident. All these years later your original cartridge has finally found its way back to you.

NO, you dont. Same as if you were to write, say, "ballsucker", "wankyanker", and/or "pussyflaps"......



....Errrr...or so I have HEARD, anyhow...


Its too bad that you feel that way about the season, but I can relate. My pop died close to Christmas when I was 12, we were very close. These days, I try and surround myself with friends and family that I get on with around this time....
(Or, some years, I'd just rather say 'feck off' to everyone, and stay home alone, drunk...)


Cosmic, brilliant observation about that cart...I bet you are RIGHT!
