November 2015 - The Calm before the Holiday Storm

[Warmsignal]

Forgot to mention in my last post that I also came across this at a local shop for only $4:

That a rare one now? I remember when I picked it up it was fairly common and inexpensive.

No, never mentioned it was rare. Only cost me $4.

I assumed there was an emphasis on the word only, especially in this day and age.

Just got a nice pickup from Half Price Books yesterday, they had a huge gaming lot come in and I've been going almost daily waiting for them to put the games out on the shelf. I'll post a picture of all my November haul after I get home today.

Nice! There's a location down two blocks from where my bf works, so he goes in pretty regularly to see their game selection. Sometimes some interesting things!

Finding any non-sports NES title for $4 is steal, at least in my area.

I went full-on "dude-bro" last night.  I picked up a Call of Duty Black Ops III "pack" that has a wallet, bracelet, keychain and dog tag in it.   

I continued my "dude-bro" buying on eBay where I picked up Call of Duty 1 & 2 (both GOTY Editions) for the PC, followed by four PS2 Call of Duty games:  World at War - Final Fronts, Big Red One, Finest Hour and Call of Duty 3 (which was just part of a lot).

Now I will hunt down Modern Warfare Mobilized and Black Ops for the DS, Roads to Victory for the PSP and Black Ops Declassified for the Vita and I will pretty much have all of the Call of Duty dude-bro shooters.

Did some ebay-ing again... I got this beautiful CIB copy of Prince of Persia for SFC. It's probably one of the first games I bought for the cover art alone. Next up is Doshin the Giant for N64DD. I don't have the disc drive yet but the price was right on the game. The packaging is interesting. The final item is this limited edition GBC known as Daiei Hawks. The Hawks is a Japanese baseball team I guess. It's hard to tell from the picture but both the orange and black plastic is transparent. -Funky. The condition isn't as good as I though however. I might replace the screen protector because it's pretty scratched up.


Some of you who have played Animal Crossing New Leaf may recognize this next item. After probing around the internet for a few years I finally pulled the trigger on this 1971 Nintendo Ultra "Cope." Yes, it's suppose to be scope but they didn't spell it right. Later models corrected that however. This particular unit had been posted on ebay for about a year but the seller's asking price was really high. I messaged him an offer and he excepted. I'm super stoked.

My financial situation at almost the end of this year is not what I expected but still managed to add another two NES titles to my collection, even when in the past I had seen a lot of reviews even some from the HVGM it was until I found the Cannot Be Tamed channel at Youtube that I finally decided to add the StarTropics title into my list, never heard of this title before but have to admit that it’s pretty fun and challenging also for only $ 5.45 bucks it was an excellent addition, the same week searched for some reviews of this one and noticed that there was a second part so decided to purchase Zoda's Revenge: StarTropics II after I read this review, saw a copy near mint at MercadoLibre for only $ 8.48 so here am I, now I just need some free time to play with this too bad dudes
