The Horde (my old copy was in awful condition).

How awful is awful condition? I may be interested if it's not too bad.

With a new case it would probably be good, but it looks like it was left on the dashboard in a car and started to melt lol.  I'll take a good look at it again tonight.

Cool, I have some spare cases that would work for it. So that's not a problem.

and yesterday someone on my facebook friendlist posted that he's selling some of his games and I couldn't believe what he was selling:
Metal Gear Solid: The Twin Snakes [GC] 35 €
Conker's Bad Fur Day [N64] (Cartridge only) 35€

... you paid 35 Euros for Twin Snakes? Why?!

Ronalopolis and I spent our anniversary (July 3rd) the same way we do about every year...picking a random city within driving distance and hitting their used game stores.

This year we did Indianapolis, mostly because they have a Fry's, and we don't get there very often. Also the Children's Museum there is phenomenal, and they were open on the 4th.

We didn't get too much this time, but he did get Resident Evil 2 for the PlayStation (didn't have it for that) and he got Code Veronica as well (PS2). Then he picked up Clock Tower 3 (PS2) after arguing with me about whether or not he had it (the Android VGCollect app is so great for these trips, by the way!!) and I got Hell's Kitchen and Sega Casino for the DS. Then the Breeder's Cup game that Bethesda made for the PS2. This stuff all ended up at about $15 total.

Then a trip to a really random store got me Hotel Giant DS and him Rock of the Dead, each for $3.

Let's see...then I got a clear Game Boy Pocket, I'm starting to get really close to all the non-LE colors on those (the Pockets, that is). And then Bomberman GB (which they threw in). And Mario and Luigi Bowser's Inside Story. So $35 total with that round.

Then we picked up another game from my WANT list: Kolibri. Anything that is described as a "hummingbird shooter" needs to be in my collection. Haven't dug out the 32X to try it yet though. Complete in box, $35, which I don't think is too bad.

Then we got home late last night to have Theatrhythm waiting for me on the doorstep. So, a pretty fantastic last two days!

Congratulations on your anniversary! Those are some nice pickups too.

It's a little dangerous living in Northern California... we have about 6 Fry's locations within a 50 mile radius of my house.

Yup, we lived in Northern Georgia, and there was one at the Mall of Georgia, which was only about 30 minutes away. Now, the 3 1/2 hour to Indianapolis gets us to the closest one by far.

It's not as good as it was, for us at least. They used to carry import games and they've stopped that. They do still carry the random adapters to connect the X-Arcade Tankstick to different systems, so Ronalopolis is happy with that. We got the one to connect to the PS3 and to the original XBox this time around.

Because it's at least 45€ on ebay and this way I could check the condition before buying it.

Nice!  I've wanted one of those since I was about 14.

Rayman 2

PS1
Destruction Derby

GCN
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles

XBox

The last two I though may be collectible someday since they were Blockbuster Exclusives and I picked up the XBox games for $2 each, so I figured why not?
