August 2008 Finds

[cyberfluxor]

Painkiller kicks ass. I must've went through the game and the first expansion ten times.

It's some good times. From the first boss I realized they go over the top. From the shots on the back I'm looking forward to see what else they've done. I also so today a tripple pack for another game, F.E.A.R. and is tempting. Only had the chance to play the downloadable demo before it came out and was impressed by the atmosphere it develops.

DVD -
Kid Paddle ($2)
-> No idea what this was, now thinking it's just a few random eps.

Comics: (3 for $1)
Propeller Man

Akira
Issues: 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 14, 15, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23


At one of the pawn shops I picked up some Dreamcast games for $5 I already have and sold them elsewhere for $24 to covered the costs of: Burgertime, Dodgeball, and $4 towards the ICO.

A one of the thrift stores someone dumped a lot of comics. Of course I picked up some but left some series I also went for. There was some interesting stuff, but with so many random issues missing I'm not willing to hunt out the gaps and complete them for reading. Akira is pretty common so it seemed alright to pick up the bunch that was there. No clue what the Propeller Man was but looked cool so why not.

As for the Space Quest collection, I've already got some of the floppy releases dating from '93 and earlier. There are '95 releases and plan to install them on a DOS machine for a convention. I'm going to see how far into the series people can get over a weekend as a combined effort, starting with SQ-I.

This is some sort of French-Canadian cartoon show. I've seen DVDs of this at the local Big!Lots store - and believe it or not, there's a French-only GBA game out there. It's a collection of minigames, and it's pretty neat to play. There's a Space Invaders knockoff that uses knights and orcs. XD

Almost. It's a French cartoon show (totally made in France) based on a comic book.

Really now? Well that makes a whole lotta sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

I got a DS game at a GameStop today:

Polarium (complete) - $4.99

(This is only the second DS game I've bought all year. The other one was Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, purchased in June for $10.)

[DKTheArcadeRat]

Today I found
- Animaniacs - CIB - Genesis - $2, I was really happy to finally find the hard case version
- Superman - CIB - Genesis - $3

and purchased Secret of Evermore for $18.

[Nesmaster]

Juiced 2 used complete + Transformers HD-DVD - $10
SSBB New sealed. Priced $35. My cost $5
Haze used complete. Priced $25. My cost $5
Ratatouille Blu-ray new sealed $20
Blood Diamond Blu-ray new sealed $15
Not pictured: 360 core console only. Bought as non-working for $10. Best case scenario, I get it working. Ideal scenario, the dvd drive works better than the one in my old 360. Worst case, I have a hilarious new doorstop.

The reason I put $5 each on the Wii and PS3 game, is because that's what it cost ME out of my pocket for the two games. I got $50 in trade for stuff I salvaged from work for nothing in the last few months. I just paid the $10 difference, and it sounds like a smoking hot deal that way to me so it works.

[NayusDante]

If the 360 is no good, don't use it as a doorstop. Flower planter! It has drainage holes, it's deep enough for roots to grow, lol.

Went back to GW today and got a price check on that GCN power pack and av cable. Got 'em both for 99 cents.

[Kitsune Sniper]

Teehee.



I got the Diablo II Expansion and Works Suite 2002 for a buck each. And that Zelda cost me $8! It's pretty much mint! The guy who had it had the game with a ton of DVD movies, so I almost missed it... It's weird, the guy always charges like $20 for random NES games. Anyway this means I can sell my copy, which has a beat up manual and insert.

Bubba Ho-Tep and Bad Day LA were $3 and $4 respectively at Big!Lots. I just got a hankering to go there after leaving the flea market... and I was glad I did. I've been looking for Bad Day LA for a while, and Bubba Ho-Tep, well, there's a funny story about that.

I found the DVD last month while I was in Tennessee. It was at a Target store that I went to. It was on a shelf that said all DVDs were $5 or less, but when the cashier rung it up, it came up as being $20. I complained, saying that it was on the $5 shelf along with several other copies and the clerk just ignored me, so I just left. Blargh. Oh well, now I can at least watch the movie.

I really haven't seen much game-related stuff recently, maybe my area is getting dry.

Good day at Goodwill today. $2.99 each for the CD games, $1.99 each for the cartridge games. I had to be quick to get the PS1 games. A women who works there was just putting them out as I was looking at the CD rack. I quickly grabbed what I could but another guy saw what was happening and rushed over. I got most of the good stuff, the only games that I didn't grab quick enough, and that I would have picked up was Metal Gear Solid and Grand Turismo 1&2.
