I went to a local GameXchange and bought No More Heroes III and The Nonary Games for the PS4. Can't Drive This came in from Amazon a couple days ago, and Hell Warders was bought earlier this week at a Movie Trading Company.

I went to a couple other shops but didn't buy anything. One of which was a game store called The Gaming Vault in far northern Fort Worth, TX that also sells Pokemon cards and other collectible playing card games. Turns out the night before they were broken in to. Smashed the glass front door out, smashed the glass cases, grabbed all the individual Pokemon cards and packs of the more valuable stuff. Didn't touch the video games. And apparently whoever did this hit six other local tabletop game stores the same way over the past few nights. I remember when people would do a smash and dash on video game stores for actual video games (a game store in Duncanville in the SNES/Genesis days was broken into three times before they closed for good), now it's all about tabletop stuff. It's sad to see my hobby isn't even worth the bother to criminal sh!tbags nowadays.

I'm happy to have found a copy of Disaster Report 4 for the PS4, the only one I've ever seen on a store shelf was $79 a couple years ago. I also ordered The Ninja Saviors: Return of The Warriors off Amazon. Not in the photo was the copies of Nioh I and II that I bought last week.

Last week I went to my favorite game store and picked up Shiny and Ziggurat for the PS4. I'd seen Ziggurat on store shelves for a couple of years but I never looked at the screenshots, it looks like a Hexen-style game, so I grabbed it. And I ordered the remaster of Ganryu 2 off Amazon. But I couldn't post my finds because this site was down.



I went out today to a couple Half Price Books, and bought Star Trek: Resurgence for the PS4 and Jak & Daxter Collection Remastered for the PS3. That now puts me at roughly 690 PS3 games. I'm looking forward to breaking the 700 game barrier. And I tried to play the Star Trek game, it took over 10 minutes to install. Then it gives you button presses for pretty much everything under the sun - do I need so many options? Do I really have to push buttons or triggers to do trivial things in the game? It seems a bit excessive.

I found out that Game Over Videogames has just opened another location in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, way up near McKinney. Picked up SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays Platinum Edition for the PS4, and Sengoku Basara 4 for the PS3. Later on I stopped at a GameXchange (Also in McKinney) and bought Psycho-Pass Mandatory Happiness for the PS4.

It's kind of a shame that very few people are able to find anything in the wild nowadays, it's weird when I'm almost always the one posting things.

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.
