All fun games. Wolverine has snuck up there in price, and sells for quite a bit more than you paid for all of them (About 3x the total where I'm at).

It decided to pour Limited Run and Strictly Limited preorders this last week, including my infamous year and a half wait order which makes up about half this, including one game not pictures (Cottom Collection - PS4).

Big sale on Xbox Live right now, tons of games. Advertised as up to 80% off, but I saw some up to 90% even :o
So I got Shadow of Mordor GOTY with Shadow of War Definitive Edition (along with all their DLC content) for a measly $10.99. I already had Shadow of Mordor GOTY, but it was way cheaper to just buy it again in the package deal than to get the other one alone.
I also got Scribblenauts Unlimited and Scribblenauts DC in a package deal for $5.99. I played a couple of Scribblenauts games on DS and liked them some years back, so I figured for less than the cost of lunch why not check these ones out.

I wasn't expecting to buy anything but my brother just upgraded to a PS5 and is a huge Destiny player. So I found myself once again pulled into Destiny buying the newest expansion to celebrate his new gen upgrade.

Last month I managed to get ODEs for both my Dreamcast and Saturn. The Saturn one I had to install myself, which went seamlessly minus an issue with a ribbon cable. Besides my PC Engine Duo R (which has an ODE in active development), all my CD-based consoles can now play games without CDs, a goal that I've been working toward for well over a year. I'm still currently waiting for my gscart switches to arrive, but Castlemania has stated they should start shipping this month. I'll likely end up with more hardware than software next month, we'll see.

Funny enough, some of those games can actually be purchased from the likes of GameStop now, right off of their in-store shelf. Or at Amazon. The games are fine, just hate the LRG business model and the whole gimmick.

I recently won an eBay auction for a GamePro magazine issue featuring Final Fantasy IX as the featured game. I was surprised at the item's condition and the amount of content included aside from its high 258 page count: a PlayStation 2 for Dummies booklet, a double-sided fold-out poster, a sticker, and an inserted Spider-Man comic all contained in a plastic sleeve.

I've been focusing on blu-ray/DVD season sets lately.
So I just picked up Screw Attack's The Video Game Years seasons 3 & 4. Will get the others soon! Those are 1983 through 1987.
The series is a lot like VH1's Pop-Up Video, but for video games. Very nostalgic.
And I got Resident Evil 4 Remake on release day as I had it pre-ordered. Having a blast with it!
