Well now. I am pleasantly surprised! Yesterday, I set up my store front on Amazon.com in my quest to unload my duplicate rare video games I managed to acquire over the years. I wake up this morning, and lo-and-behold, I already sold my extra copy of Lunar 1 for the PS1. Granted, Amazon has high seller fees, but so does eBay. Unfortunately, I can't ( Read more... )

I remember when I first got my Nintendo, in 1988, when I was nine years old. I was so excited, I thought I was literally going to jump out of my skin with the realization that I had an actual Nintendo Entertainment System in my very own home. On that Christmas day, my mom hooked up the NES to our 27-inch color TV, and from then on, I was hooked ( Read more... )

I have quite a large number of games for my ten consoles!

( They just barely fit on my book shelf. Ikea, here I come. )

Well now. I feel like I accomplished quite a bit by fully executing my shopping tasks for this Christmas season ( Read more... )

Well now. I've had an interesting week ( Read more... )

 •     Basically, since Thanks Giving, I will have eaten three turkey dinners. My first turkey dinner was at Kevin's brother's house, in Chicago land. That meal was pretty large. Although, I only ate a moderate portion. I really didn't want to spend the rest of my day, after the meal, in a carbohydrate coma on the couch. After that meal, I talked ( Read more... )

I should smoke the proverbial cigar: I am the proud owner of a shiny, new, black Nintendo DS. I can see why this system is decimating the competition in the land of the rising sun. My first game is Age of Empires: The Age of Kings (target opens in new window), and even the training missions are a bit challenging ( Read more... )

I bid on shit frequently from EBAY. Since Nintendo, MicroSoft, and Sony are going to get greedy and make gamers pay through the nose to play games in the future, I've been back-stepping my game collection. I have been beefing up my PSX RPG collection; so I've been winning classics like Final Fantasy VII, the Legend of Mana guide, and other such ( Read more... )

I get up this morning, and the first thing I do is put on a pot of coffee. I drink the coffee with my breakfast, then I put on another pot of coffee. I drink that pot of coffee while I am playing Digital Devil Saga I, grinding away leveling my characters. I play DDS for about 2 hours, then I put on another pot of coffee before I start cleaning the ( Read more... )

I had a really good day today. I accomplished many things.

• I [finally.....finally] took my learner's permit test at the DMV today. I got all the questions right. I guess I was a bit nervous about the written exam. But I studied the Rules of the Road book and I did really well. All I have to do now is drive, but, prd2bme's car is about to shit the bed, and ( Read more... )
