I'm aware of that person's stream.

And when you gaze long into an abyss the abyss also gazes into you.

Be careful. Just saying. Also, sorry for editing your post, the quote was screwed up in my end.

This fits.

So this just happened

Congrats!  I have no regrets on the purchase of my Wii U.  Mario 3D World is the best 3D Mario game since 64, IMO (edges out Galaxy).  And Mario Kart 8 is pretty much perfect, except for the battle modes they messed up (but I never played battle mode anyway). 

I'm really looking forward to Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta 2 and Smash Bros. later this year.

Here's the second lot of stuff I picked up this weekend off a CL deal.  I didn't get it super cheap, but definitely way lower than retail for the stuff in this lot.


Stack Up was a purchase off eBay, not part of this lot.  That pickup leaves just Donkey Kong as the lone black box title for me to pick up.


There's the real jewel, a CIB Operation Secret Storm.  Box and manual aren't in great shape, but to find those pieces at all is a great find.  I can flatten out the manual too.  This is now the rarest NES game in my collection.

Between the Virtual Boy lot, the Genesis lot and this NES lot, my wife says I don't have the right to complain about striking out at garage sales for 2 1/2 months

I think that is my favorite NES box art.  A cartoon dictator?  It just looks awesome to me.  Great find.  The game isn't so good, but the art totally makes up for it.

I expect it to be a horrible game.  It's Color Dreams, after all.  But it's pretty darn uncommon and it has a cartoony Saddam as the boxart.  How can you go wrong?

Impressive deals as usual from theflea. A quick question, are all those garage sales you go to within or close to your city/town of residence, or do you do a fair amount of traveling to get to all of them?

I love that the pink DS lot included Horsez, Spongebob and...Grand Theft Auto.

Came across a Black Gamecube today at the thrift shop, picking it up after forgetting that I had gotten one there before, a silver one lol It was only 20 bucks, so not bad either way, might see about using it for trade a meetup this weekend if I have a spare controller for it.

It seems every single GC I come across is purple.    And I *like* the purple, it's the one I decided to buy new back in the day, but I'd like to get the other ones now.

Are black GameCube's more rare, or something? I have one, and never realized that if that's the case.

I don't think so, I think I just have bad luck in that department.    What I really want is a platinum one anyway.
