Heck ya I would be interested in the chips challenge and if there's leftover unclaimed whatever other one of your choosing. For real thanks tpac, such a nice event always love seeing what you come up with

Spacepup haul, sent back some stuff I let em borrow to archive and sent these gems along with. Super stoked for the splinter cell and new legends promos, the Zelda scrolllll wooo sneaking the fine art in there haha. Thanks again dooood.

We got Mario wonder I think from Walmart for the cards bonus whoo played a bit last night/today and it's really cute!

Thrift haul over the month, great deals but was happy to see some 64 stuff really haha.

Oh yeah one more thing, after like 4 years of weekly posting I think it's time to slow down a bit. Collecting habits have changed for me so time to switch it up to monthly thanks for peeking, can't wait to work on the game room!

Hey! Happy Halloween! We finished moving!!! The month of October we staggered it out and it felt like it would never end but I am definitely glad it's over. Everything hurts. Now to get things out of boxes and proper! Good news is new attic game room  I think we're go retro up here kinda a secret clubhouse vibe haha but here's a lil walkthrough of the blank slate.

There's a lot of cutouts that I want to figure out how to utilize for roll out storage or recessed, this useless center shelf with the clock on it I want to cut to the same size as the others and have a crt in there

I haven't had to deal with angles before, thinkin I'm gonna be doing a lot of custom stuff. Paint is also happening before stuff gets moved in, pretty excited haha.

Jeeeeeeze all the people telling the op to steal it, reddit is a cesspool.

Here's my punkin, we carved em last night (still moving ooof)

My friend Nick's on the left and Mandy on the right.

Happy Halloween yallllll!! 

Aw man I've been so preoccupied with life things (and just getting over the flu) I forgot about inktober!!!

Im all discombobulated but chips challenge is the first thing that popped in my head

Edit: sprites

I don't see why it wouldn't be a sealed copy inside the cardboard box, the way they manufactured back then was not eco friendly like today.

Nice. So a few months before the slim PS one.

Do you have the launch model (SCPH-1001)? That one really takes me back to that era, so I bought one several years ago along with a longbox copy of Rayman. If you don't have it, I recommend getting it.

Or get the Japanese launch model (SCPH-1000).

Heck ya, I do have a 1001 and was using it as a CD player for a while (sounded pretty good) I think the jpn 1000 has s video built in too

Friday is here! Around an hour away from closing on the house! Stuff from this week:

mandy ordered this special edition for psychonauts 2 like a year ago from iam8bit and it finally showed up, super cool I don't remember what's in the box haha have to open once the dust settles but it went back into the shipping box for now

$20 pt serial PS2 from goodwill. heck yaaa with the network adapter, 2 memory cards, 2 controllers and the cords. I didn't have time to test but even if the drive doesn't work can't argue with 20

Mandy got dis vita boyfriend game, 2nd? of 3 in the series, idk look at these boys.

We just hit up a few thrifts this morning to kill time and I found a PS3 dualshock in pretty ok shape for $5 woo woo 

Have a great week y'all!!!

Heyo busy week of packing and getting ready but still found some stuff at the thrift:

Kingdom hearts 3 GameStop preorder, Family game night 1 and 3 for 360 along with trivial pursuit. Also Wii family game night 1 and 2 bundle haha. GameCube controller in gross bad shape, Wii accessories unopened ( @docile tapeworm I looked up Wii sensor bars on eBay and they aren't very expensive but after I take care of the move if I have a spare now I can send ya one just gotta check to see if I have enough for all the Wiis I've acquired) 

Next Friday is the day!!! Fingers crossed.

I could use that wii sensor bar.

Awe I'm sorry doood but I got a Wii that was console only that needs it I keep an eye out if I see another though for sure.

Happy Friday

Not much gets again this week, haven't been adding much because we might be closing on a house on the 22nd of this month I don't wanna jinx anything but we're so close!!

All from the thrift: Up top, on the left is a USB barcode scanner that I hope to use to catalog the collection one day but $4 heck ya. Premiere ball Pokemon TCG deck holder I hope to maybe mod to fit a GBA sp instead of card deck. 50c GoldenEye guide woo, I kinda dig that it has a local address. $5 each for guitar hero Metallica and nfs shift and a buck for the Wii sensor bar.

Have a great week yaaaaalllll

I have a cruisin usa box in my collection of the regular edition with players choice sticker on it that I got from eBay from a seller clearing out former rental boxes

I thought it was neat, I kinda thought it was up to the retailer to put the sticker on old stock, and this probably came from a place that sold new games as well as pre owned(my thought is blockbuster but not sure, no sticker on the back of the box)

But Diddy has a sticker for 98 racing game of the year too, so maybe it is from a factory? or maybe a poor retail employee had to stick on 2x the stickers  definitely interested in hearing more if anyone knows the story.

Hey it's Friday! This week I didn't end up getting any games, little chaotic around here but I did find a pretty decent denon receiver to add to the setup

Denon avr-4311ci

Wooo look at them ports. This guy came out late 2010, so even with all those tasty HDMI ports up top they're only 1.4a so no modern lovely 4k but a great fit for the PS3/360/Wii era and back, as well as movie/music playback. So many options, so many ways to potentially set up. 140w per channel, 9 amp channels but supports more if you choose to stack another amp with it, going up to 11.2 whoooo I doubt I will go there because the internal amp is enough for me but super cool to have that option. Haven't had the time to really test 'er out but hooked up a pair of bookshelf speakers and it sounded pretty good to meeeee.

Have a wonderful weekend, see ya next Friday

Super cool! You should email stan at nwcomputers and ask about it, the old school vibe of that site (updated 2021) seems good odds that the person in charge has been there for a while and could know the origin.

Operation darkness published by atlus might have a smaller print. NBA elite 11 was recalled I think and is probably the rarest.

Edit: I googled a bit, "armored core for answer" is another sleeper like operation darkness, marvel alliance gold edition has delisted dlc

Ooo nice picks!! Those look super clean my dood.

Here's this week's gets! all thrift stuff

Hylian shield from 2015 costume for 2$, terrible framerate composite to HDMI converter on the left back behind the pocket cdrs (I love mini cdrs they're so cute baha), mini color pacman 2020 for $3 can be wall mounted (perfect with the ghost i just got haha), $25 PS1 with cables, memory card, dualshock and extra gamester controller (Mandy saw it about to be put out at the thrift and was like eh? Eh? Really having to twist my arm over it. I was like "I doooo have some rewards points I could use", flipped it over to see which model and was like uhhh yah we don't have this one. 

Scph-9001

The psone smol boi revision came out September of 2000, so this is the last original model with smaller mobo, minus the parallel port. The previous owner was a smoker so this thing looked kinda cooked but it was all tar and cleaned up really nice.. really good shape actually! It didn't wanna read games right off the bat so I cleaned the lens with 91iso, tried again and still not loading up properly, popped in a CD and let it play through (this model also has the kickass visualizer if you hit select in the CD menu, so rad) enjoying the visuals and after it ran for a while I tried a game again and it booted right up the later models also fixed stuttering issues with fmv and I was super happy to see solid video playback in the into to crash 2. 

That's it gamewise this week, I've been finding more HomeGoods than games lately thriftin, some nice mid century modern stainless steel stuff for our kitchen and pots and pans and such: here's a little before and after of some revereware pots from 1991 and '87

They're both cleaned up and shiny now like the right side ready to be put back into service. Goodwill had these 2 and a third from pre1968 bundled for $4 heck yaaaaa still cleaning up the oldest one, had a loooot of build up compared to these two.

Have a great week y'all!!

@MegaMan52 naw it's from paladone: https://www.target.com/p/pac-man-ghost-led-light/-/A-53720838 pixel pals are prob better. I haven't played ghostly adventures either but it looked interesting haha.

This week's gets!

A PS2 package from pup came through, with more fart! Added Shepard's crossing, taiko drum master(finally got the game since I found the drum thriftin a while back, heck yaaa), la pucelle tactics and samurai legend musashi (heck ya cel shaded styyyyle). Stellvia anime cards (had to Google to learn, haha) thanks again doooooood

Thrift stuff:

PSP go cable minus the figure 8, pacman ghostly adventures 2, Xbox wireless networking adapter by itself (I still don't have this complete in box, gonna eventually have to get but have the disc and now just need a compatible power cable), and nes power block.

That's it for this week, stay sweet and don't let the clowns getcha.

I miss 'em is all.

Oh yeah! Congrats on getting married!!!

Awe man dood!! Sorry for your loss, a fear of mine since my childhood home had a sewer backup from roots overgrown, whole block flooded doo doo not fun at all, nor with your whole collection at stake.

Happy birthday @Jeevan!!!

Hope you have a great day

Hello, it's Fridaytime!

Mandy got Pikmin 4 and I found a Zelda skyward sword amiibo at gamestop (pretty sure this is the reissue of the Amazon exclusive?) I think we are missing the GameStop exclusive twilight princess link to have the whole Zelda set until the other 2? TOTK figures. Woo woo.

Thrift gets: dockingbay10 cart holder for the nes with cool slidey door for $4, one of the thrifts got in a bunch of discless Xbox game cases, snagged the fight for ny as a potential replacement case.

Seeeegggaaaaa

Got Rocket Knight adventures from spacepup! Included was some fine art, or fart as I like to call it. Oui! oui! This cheerfully merry face cries tears of primal rage as the Picassoy character reflects apathetically.

Primal rage cart last minute from the thrift for $3.50 wheeeee

Have a great week yalllllll!
