Bit envious of your Magna Carta 2 score. I put off buying that one for ages, and now prices are getting kinda blech online.

Surprised to see R-Type Final tho - I thought you weren't much for shmups?

I'm not, the boyfriend is. 

Yeah, I got a decent price on Magna Carta 2 - otherwise I probably would have passed on it (again).

No biggie.  If I don't have any takers by next weekend I'll post 'em up on Ebay or something.

I got a copy of Ys I & II Chronicles Soundtrack for $5, new and sealed.

Disgaeniac, I think you had said you got this recently?  Is yours missing the back cover?  The CD has a little booklet in the front, but no spine or back insert.  Mine is factory-sealed, so I would assume it was packaged this way...?

Not too long ago I passed on a longbox version of D for Playstation.  It was $9.  Came back the next day and it was gone.   :'(

I haven't played or bought any PC games in a long time as my PC's hardware is so outdated I couldn't even hope to run a newer PC game on it.  And my laptop isn't equipped for gaming either.  The boyfriend has some digital titles, roms, etc. for his PC, and a "hacked" PS2 and Xbox with tons of roms.  I personally have no interest in Steam, GOG, or even roms on consoles.  I'm all about the physical media.  The only digital games I own are XBLA titles, and it will probably remain that way.

General / Re: What Are You 2013 Game Collecting Goals

« on: March 30, 2013, 08:25:12 pm »

... I just went ahead & pulled the trigger on my 2nd goal by ordering the "Iris Heart(s) You" Giclee; which will = #5...so next is the measuring, spacing, arranging, and hanging - that's all more (IMHO) *fun* than it is work-like, though 

I enjoy that kind of stuff too.  I'm the kind of person that despises the packing - and actual moving of stuff - aspect of moving, but I LOVE taking everything out of boxes and putting things where they go, organizing, hanging stuff.  It's an such an indescribable, happy feeling. 

Those giclees are gorgeous, by the way.

Those Skyrim DLCs are pretty tempting...

I've only ever seen the two major Skyrim DLC on sale for 800 MSP one other time.  *shrug*  Who knows, they may lower in price at some point...  But you really can't beat Hearthfire for 200 Points.

Huh.

All this time I thought it was Goblin Tails, not cotton tails. Ha

Yeah, when I was little I had no idea it was "cotton tails".  I also thought it was "cars and trains and air-o-planes".
