went into a goodwill today to dick around
didn't expect to find an og xbox sitting around in there.
$15, no controller, but ayyy lmao, those aren't hard to come across. they had a beat up 360 controller for $5, but w/e.
IT WORKS.
happy birthday to me from goodwill i guess lmao. been wanting one of these fucks for a while. i remember in 2002 when my brother got one and it was like THE SHIT, it was the first console i'd ever seen and was like woaaaaaa that shit looks soooo cooool. i don't give a fuck what anyone says, the og xbox has a cool as shit console design. it's badass. i remember when we got it it was like... WE AIN'T A NINTENDO KIDDY BOX. (lmao that said, i got a gamecube, then later a ps2)
i got about 2 hrs of halo playtime (i was really struggling with dual sticks then) and about 1.5 hrs of blinx back then before my brother whisked it away into his cave, never to be seen again except very short glimpses from the doorway. i heard it plenty tho... maybe got an additional 3 hrs total of JSRF, so i want that back too FOR SURE. in fact, that's why i wanted one like a plague.
anyway, i remember being blown away from it back then... i was sorely disappointed in ps1 and n64's graphics. but the xbox blew my goddamn mind. first of the 6th gen consoles i got to see in action. that neon green was unlike anything before it, and it just... gahhh. booting this fucker back up really brought back some good feelings, man. there i was, adamantly blowing off the n64 and still playing yoshi's island and super mario rpg and shit, then that fucking comes into our house with its neon lighting effects and what felt like near flawless graphics... i was 8? 9? either way, i was shitting a brick.
not so much now i'd bet but i now have all that gen's consoles, so that's neato as fuck. i'm $-4.32 levels of broke now, but ayyy lmao, i get paid in two days so w/e w/e.
now to get my hands on a copy of blinx the time sweeper and a controller. yessss. better run off and go beg anon image boards for their lists of hidden gems.
...oh and i got a job at gamestop today too. i'm just looking for managerial positions then i'll swoop in and stop being a low-end min wage sack of shit everywhere.
i also put down a preorder for 7th dragon iii code the other day, i just didn't mention it. i'll grab it wednesday.
expect me back in here in the next few days, tho. i plan to go blow my load locally since this pay cheque, i get to blow the whole lot on whatever i want.
i've already nailed some purchases down in the near future, just gotta wait to get my cash then i'll do it.
