I went to a GameStop in a mall today and bought a bunch of PS4 games, all $12.99 or under. Severed Steel, They Always Run, Cross Code, Arkanoid Eternal Battle, and Arcadegeddon. Sisters Royale came from Amazon today too, strangely in German. And yesterday I stopped at my favorite game store and picked up Exile's End.

I haven't really found much of anything worth mentioning in a looong time, but the other day I bought a Gameboy Micro at a thrift store for $3! Including the charger and a game.
I've never even seen one in person before then and didn't realize just how tiny it actually is.

It was missing the face plate so I 3D printed a replacement and thought I'd experiment with trying to give it a woodgrain finish.

I finally had my first order to PlayAsia go through (my credit union was convinced the previous orders were some kind of credit card scam and blocked them) and I finally got my hands on a copy of River City Super Sports Challenge for the PS3. sealed. It's the Hong Kong release that was translated into English. And a couple days ago I went to my favorite game store and picked up Ace of Seafood (I watched a YouTube video to figure out what the game was, and afterwards still couldn't figure out what the game was about, it's that weird) and Blade Assault for the PS4, both sealed.

I woke up painfully early and drove out to Ennis, Texas because it was directly in the center of the path of totality of the eclipse. It occurs to me that I've never seen a full eclipse before, only partial ones. Pretty damn cool. Since I was out so far anyway, I drove out further to a Gamexchange in Corsicana and bought the SNK 40th Anniversary collection for the PS4. On the drive home I stopped at the Gamexchange in Waxahachie and picked up Transformers Devastation for the PS3 and We Happy Few for the PS4. I had a pretty long day today.

hey all i am still here, been dealing a lot in the personal life since feb. i did find a few things atleast

starting off the switch games came from a gaming swap meet i needed an extra copy of mario kart to play with a friend (that never happened) while i was in texas and tiny barbarian was just a why not.
Mario Kart 8 DX - switch $30 (complete)
Tiny Barbarian - switch $15 (complete)

next up are the wii games and the punisher they came from a local goodwill. Punisher surprised me on its value of almost $40 still
Spectrobes - wii $4 (complete)
Counter Force - wii $4 (complete)
Punisher - xbox $7 (complete)

in late march i had to go to texas to visit a family member. one of those for the last time deals. and one of the days we were waiting around and i saw a movie trading company and i always see Steve talk about them so i popped in and i didnt see anything i wanted to try and shoe horn into my carry on so just to say i bought something i bought a copy of unreal championship for $4. it was better condition than any other copy i've seen before where i live.
This was the movie trading company in Lewisville TX (spelling?)

all the while this stuff (and more) has been going on the district i work for found them selves in a pickle and short $4 million suddenly. yea i dont know how that happens other than just ignorance. so there will be layoffs and i think the state is going to come in and take things over, which they should. any way there was a day where i just couldnt deal with the BS any more so i went out with a friend (who also works for the district) and found 2600 games at a st vincent de paul.
Kinda surprising and their prices were $1 to $3 ea. so i got a few i didnt think i had. they had like 4 copies of ET and i've never owned a copy so i grabbed two since they get hoarded. the find in this is Encounter at L5 its actually got some value to it. one of these days i'll be able to play games again.

i think i paid $12 for all of them. not gonna list them all you can see in the pic.
i left a lot behind for others but i was pretty sure i had them or wouldnt ever play them

and then this last wednesday i found another 360E console in much better shape than the one i had before. i plan on modding one so i can play all my XB and 360 games on one console with HDMI out that isnt shaped like some werido swoopy thing.
it was $20

I've been picking up games for a couple weeks now but for some reason I always forget to post them.

Today I went a bit farther out than normal and picked up Sine Mora EX and the DioField Chronicle for PS4 at a GameXchange in Denton, TX. While I was in town I stopped at a Movie Trading Company and bought Adventure Academia: The Fractured Continent. On the way back I stopped at another indie game store in Flower Mound, TX called Collectibles Cards & Games (such a generic name for a game store!) and picked up a sealed copy of Tandem - A Tale of Shadows for the PS4.

Last week I went to a couple game stores and bought Horizon Zero Dawn, Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back, Age of Wonders Planetfall, and Fade to Silence, mostly $8.99 or under (except Bubsy, it was $13). And Noob - The Factionless was something I ordered off Amazon because it looked interesting.

Went to my favorite game store today, picked up Undernauts - Labyrinth of Yomi for PS4. Then I stopped at the Dallas headquarters of Half Price Books. Last year they had a gigantic display model of the Star Trek: Enterprise ship NX-01 that I didn't have money to buy, and it was sold by my next visit. As I was remembering that I saw a Polar Lights model of the NX-01 sitting on a shelf. It also has the NX-01 Refit upgrade that the designer Doug Drexler wanted to give it but the producers resisted it. And it's sealed, so I don't have to worry about missing any parts. And Afterimage for the PS4 came in a few days ago from Amazon.
