Haven't posted in a while. I've slowed down a bit on buying recently. I'm at capacity, so now if a game comes in, one has to go. I am upgrading a bunch of my cart only games to CIB.

Been listening to this nonstop. It's a mix of electronic music and metal. If you're a fan of either genre, I highly recommend it.

Yeah, they look identical to me. The NGCD has the same hardware as the AES/MVS except more RAM and, obviously, a CD-ROM drive.

I personally opted for a Neo Geo CD because you're getting virtually all the same games as AES at a fraction of the price (usually). Of course, you do have to deal with load times, but I don't think they're as bad as they're made out to be. A second option I've considered would be to get a consoled MVS and an Everdrive type device. It's a more expensive option, but still less expensive than collecting AES.

I did finance through them. The rate actually wasn't too bad at the time, but I'm not sure what they're at currently.

I bought a car through Carvana. The process was pretty easy, and I have no real complaints.

I've definitely slowed down on buying lately, but here's what I've picked up over the past few months.

I hate to be "that guy", but the book was better.

I wanted to go, but I have way too much going on this month. I'll be down that way for RetroCon in September though.

This was the toughest one so far. With the exception of Bryan Adams, I love all of these songs.

This post inspired me to start collecting CDi. I just ordered my first three games (Pinball, Defenders of the Crown, and Hotel Mario).

Nice! I just started collecting Japanese PS1. I'll have to get this one.

Entertaining, but I think it's way overhyped.
