I look forward to coming back.
Good luck

There's been a tremendous amount of negativity in the news about police these days, obviously, so this was refreshing to see.
It's funny to hear someone constantly whining about getting dirty while dumpster diving.
Maybe if Gamestop never had his draconian policy of destroying games that they dont sell because they shoot themselves in the anus with his insulting prices, and after video after video after video of proof from gamers revealing that they indeed so this crap, and considering the imminent disaster that would be Gamstop planning this shit for Retro games.........
yeah, i think the police have the wrooooooooooooooooong target.
Cool. Pac-Man is a bit tough with the analog sticks on the 5200.

I have nothing against people dumpster diving but why post it online? Someone from Gamestop will eventually see it and prevent it. Bunch of showoff morons
Maybe the cops wouldn't notice them if they dressed up as raccoons first?
Prevent dumpster diving? Corporate may have some odd policies regarding what they throw out, but I can speak from experience when I say that most people working at a GameStop don't care what people dig out of the trash. At the location I worked at, we were all too happy to give away old signage and posters. I think I gave away some "pennied out" games, too, but that was always a bit more touchy. Even our district manager was pretty lax about storing and checking all the product slated for disposal, just as long as employees weren't hiding product and waiting for it to penny out.
What stirs me up the most is the short clips from electronics stores from around the time of the game market collapse. That brought back some good memories, and made me regret that (a) I didn't buy up everything in sight, and (b) didn't actually have any money to do so since I was around 13 or 14 and had no proper source of income. All I noticed from that time was that Toys R' Us had Starpath Superchargers for $10 and games for $2.50 all of a sudden, and I could swing those with my limited resources.
Brett, have you moved recently? I visited your place a few years back and I thought the ol' Room of Doom was much smaller.

Hey, I tried your YouTube link but I keep getting, "This video does not exist." Your Amazon link comes up as, "We're sorry. The Web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site". I just wanted to give you a heads up. In any event, I've really been enjoying your books. Keep up the good work.
