Odd.  I didn't see an email.  Regardless though, I've handed over the reigns to @Dr. Morbis.  I can add it myself, but it's probably best to defer to him in case there's an update in the pipeline.

Hmm. I sent it to the email listed at the bottom of the doc, but it was bounced back.

Does your manual in the picture have a star at the end of the code? If so then I would think this is a new entry.

Good Catch! Looks like it does. Must have missed it when I was going through the Wiz's list. I sent an email over to him to add the variant list of items to his list.

I grabbed this game sealed and opened it around 5 years ago, so I figured it would have everything complete.

Would you look who it is!!

Became good friends with a couple people down in my area from NA @Oishii san & @Penguin.

Also have drank some beers with @diddles_mcbean at Magfest a few years back. Hope to do it again in a few months.

And swapped quick pleasantries with the likes of @K3VBOT, @Ferris Bueller, and @KHAN Games at Magfest various years as well.

How old are you?

I asked this same question in my standup and no one under 25 knew what I was talking about.

I felt sad that I cringed when I heard you mention a standup. I hate being reminded of mine when I'm not at work.

Standup as in standup comedy?

And that made me laugh.

Also, I'm 37 and never was taught 2 spaces either. I actually worked with a company full of copywriters and learned the hard way all the ways to screw up Grammer. (BTW as you can see none of it stuck) Never once did they mention it either.

One space all the way.

Just nuts man. I was discussing the old bounty post a few months ago and was wondering if anything came out of your search.

What's your total count for original nes box art up to now?

Ahhh, the Collection Thread. Or as I like to call it, The "See honey, I don't have nearly as much as this guy" Thread. Saving marriages since 2019.

Haha, I also suggest if you want your significant other to feel better about your situation, have them watch the "The Bits of Yesterday" documentary with you.

My wife felt a lot better about the whole situation after that. Did a lot of, "oh I guess you aren't a random crazy person". I also remember her pointing out that Dain looked like the most normal guy ever.

Such a good game, I've def never been good at it.

I did get to see Mark Cerny do a classic game postmortem live at GDC some years back. Was amazing to listen to the process of a game like that back then. If anyone is interested you can view it the talk here:

Also, thats a big-ass video embed  

I just got my copy of Celeste yesterday, great stuff so far. Their stuff takes longer because they do open pre-orders. It was faster before they started doing it. 

I'm def much happier that open pre-orders are a thing, since I've been able to get a copy of every game i've wanted from them.

I vaguely remember that Thimbleweed was for sale again through another site. I can't remember which one though.

I recently picked up Black Sigil from my local thrift store. It was CIB and was super suprised at how much it goes for online. Glad to hear its a great game.

Man, I must be in the minority here but I think the packaging is atrocious. Even if they were at a more affordable price I wouldn't want either of those boxes on my shelf.

Dressing up as a Paw Patrol character and going trick or treating with my wife and daughters.

Finally got my LRG copy of Celeste delivered today, so I'm a few chapters into that now.

So far, i'm really enjoying it. Usually twitch games burn me out quick, but I think this one might keep me playing it throughout.

No one wants to see my sweet dad style mini-van.

I've been going for the past 5 years. Demoed my Indie game there last year in the awesome indie game section.

I should hear back by early next week if the game got accepted again, if it does i'll be booking my flights right away.

Do you need perler beads, anime tchotchkes, and $30 loose Famicom commons though??

Yeah, while the marketplace leaves a lot to be desired, the rest of the con is top notch.

I do this but my wife calls it hoarding, not collecting.

Welcome!

Yeah, mine calls it hoarding as well. But since I moved into the garage she doesn't see it as much anymore.

Other than games, its mainly Board Games from the 80s and earlier. 

Yay, I was hoping this thread was coming back. I like to check it once in a while just to look at the cover art images.

Terrible trade honestly. A 2nd rounder for Sanu?  Blah. Seems like a lot for that caliber of receiver. 

Gotta remember that a Pats 2nd is pretty much an early 3rd most years (very likely this year). Also Sanu fits their style I think pretty well. Much more than the other receivers that are being dealt right now. 

Also, he is under contract for the next 1.5 years.

Which I'd be stoked about!

Yeah, there always needs to be more talk of Demon's Souls. While imo Dark Souls perfected so much on what Demon's Souls started with, there still are a few things that make it amazing.

I suppose Gundam model kits, Terry Pratchett hardback novels, Garbage Pail Kids cards, and apparently cats...

Oh man, I really want to collect Terry Pratchett hardback novels. I have a lot of them in paperback and it's just not the same.

I wish I could but my friend in Lehigh is having his huge halloween party on Saturday so I’ll be there.  He’s having 3 Dj’s so it’s gonna be an amazing party.

Man, maybe i'm going to the wrong place.
