I got mine as well and the pink too! 

I wonder if they didn't turn out to be only 1 in 8?

Woo Hoo!!!  Got mine today.  I hit the "Ultra limited" pink cart, though it looks more red to me.  Says 1 in 8 odds.

Just looked this up thinking this was a real game and saw the rant. What a great read lol absolute gold. Hopefully that guy solved his anger issues though. 

It is a real game, just inspired by an unhinged rant.

My favorite memory of this game is when K3vbot was demoing it at MGC, listening to him try and explain it to random people walking by.  I was embarrassed for him! 

This old whippersnapper has never heard of it either. 

Sometimes when I travel for work I would need to iron, something about how I pack or suitcases in general and my shirts would be a crumpled mess.  I haven't used a non-hotel iron in years. 

I don't like documentaries.

Did a lot of work on Saturday.  Tilled the ground, got the fence built and installed, and put together the boxes.  Ran out of dirt so I will have to finish that up later.  Got some planted though!

My wife is making me do one.  I dislike gardening and I always have.

Better have her help!

Super bump!  

I'm going to give a vegetable garden a try this year.  It will be my first go at it since moving to NC where the soil is much different than I am used to.  I'm going to do a combination of starter plants and seeds, see what happens.  

Plan to till this weekend and get the area all ready for planting.  Here are my starters so far.  

The NP issue wasn't part of the event, it had a 2 page feature talking about it.  My point is that I think the price feels about right given what the item is/isn't/could be.  It has a premium over a regular copy, but not an enormous one.

Agree, but if he didn't have a subscription, it also makes sense that his parents would have bought him a copy off of the news stands.  It is what it is.  I know in NP collecting, mailed versions > news stand copies, but again, this was a semi-finalists personal copy.  I personally think there's value in that.  IMHO, I'd consider in the $150-250 price range by provenance alone.  In this case, the CGS grading helps verify that with the label.  Otherwise, if someone just got this off of the guy, it would only be worth a FMV of the magazine.  Without proof of the source, it's just another magazine.  But you know that, I'm sure.

If he were to buy another copy off of ebay today does it have the same provenance just because he now owns it?  That's where it gets murky IMO.

I saw that.  I assume that's the NP where the seller was named as the semi-finalist.  If so, and that's his personal copy as is marked on the CGS case, that was rather cheap IMHO.

He is one of the contestants featured in the issue but it looks like a newstand copy.  Not as cool as if it had the appropriate address label.

...From a time when they didn't bother to put a bathroom upstairs?  One bathroom in a four bedroom house does not sound like a lot of fun.

I also like how the biggest bedroom doesn't have the balcony either, so which one is the master: the one with the balcony or the one that's much larger than all the rest?

EDIT - The largest bedroom also has a window in the closet!?!  WTF!!!

The lack of bathrooms was the first thing I noticed too. That house would probably have 4 of them if built today.

It will be interesting to see if any of these investor dudes actually care about the stuff that can't be graded.

Also here's a secret: in actuality, I'm not even a big fan of multicarts. Used to be a guy on NA named Rocky, he had some pr0n pics in his uploaded pics section of his profile of naked chicks, was from Alaska. Sold him GB multicarts for a flat $10 a piece, he had tons, then one day he just disappeared.

He just popped in again recently. Pretty sure that's the same guy.

I've never played this one, but I've have a hard time dealing with the concept that death is permanent for characters in the later games I played. If I can ever get over that mental hurdle, I figure I'd probably enjoy this series, as I usually do with these kinds of games.

You can chose permadeath or not in the more recent games. 

This isn't my favorite of the series, but still pretty good. I'd go with a 7.

We have a club for the VGS room. I'll add you guys.

Based on the description, I would have thought a "Coors Cutter" was someone who self mutilated due to their apparent poor taste in beer, as I've always heard the folks I know who drink describe Coors as "warm piss."  How they're able to determine that as an accurate comparison, I'll never know. 

You are supposed to wait until the mountains turn blue, then you know it's cold. That must have been their problem!

It wasn't so much that you voiced your displeasure, it was the repetition and increased asininity of each reply that got you the boot from that thread.   And it looks like Albert gave you the muzzle from that particular thread, not a site ban.

 

Why let details get in the way of a good victim rant?

2. This game features animals

 

Are they animals, or are they men??  Who are you to choose how they identify?!?

Five bonus points if you get this one.

He's got a layaway on a power converter. 

Hey welcome!  You will see some familiar names, a lot of new ones too. 

5/10.  Even reading the answers I still only know 5.
