I'll start the topic. Didn't find any games, but I went dumpster diving at blockbuster and grabbed out 300 DVD, PS2, GC cases. I also grabbed those BB system display boxes that say "FOR DISPLAY ONLY"


not much, but I enjoyed hopping into that dumpster.

[AB Positive]

I've never had the guts to go diving myself.

No 'finds' really, but I did get Fantasy Zone 2 for the SMS for $8 shipped. not too awful. Fun as hell game too.

OMG you have to go dumpster diving. today I did it all alone, usually I have someone with me and they can be my lookout.

man, when I was 14 there was this old burned out and falling apart ski lodge up north and it was abandoned for about 5 years. Anyway they had a Ms.Pac Man arcade and a Gorf arcade game downstairs. I so wanted toi "borrow those arcade games, but my parents are like no, you could hurt yourself. Which I could have, but it would have been worth it. So I had to leave them, but my uncle did hop in the building and take some beer signs and other stuff.......eventually someone else ransacked the place about a year later....but they also had about 300 pairs of skiis, boots, and bindings in a pile next to the arcade machines.

Didn't find much, the Software Etc. here didn't have many NES games (I think they're trying to faze it out, at least it seems that way), but I did find a little loose gem: Tiny Toons Cartoon Workshop for 2 bucks. Looked it up in my beautiful little DP Guide (plug plug kiss kiss) and saw it listed as an R5 worth $10. Joy!

Also picked up a manga today, Ranma 1/2 action series. Good buy for 10 bucks, it's a stacked manga.

Struck out at Playsource today, but went and picked up Legaia 2 for PS2 at Meijer's after work for $15.

I haven't had much time to hunt, I've been absolutely overtaken by Xenogears. Today is the 5th day I've been playing it, 22:30 in, and I'm not done for the night, just taking a rest. I had the game paused for a good minute and a half with a shitfaced grin with the some quote similar to "What, did you really think that a god existed as you know it? The Ethos were put in place by Solaris to monitor the Lambs and control the weak-willed masses." It takes balls to denouce all modern religion in today's media.

Action Fighter (SMS) - cart only, free!

Now, if only I had a Master System to play it on.....
