Bobster and I have a pretty good find this morning. We only found stuff at 1 community yard sale but it was definitely worth the trip.

House 1:
Top Gear
Kirby's Avalanche
Mario Paint
Super Mario World
SNES controller
SNES mouse
Which in total only cost us $2.

House 2:
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness -$5
Pokemon Diamond -$5
Pokemon Platinum -$5
Pokemon Ranger -$5
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga -$3
Pokemon Leaf Green -$3
Pokemon Emerald -$3

House 3:
Mario Party 4
Super Mario Sunshine
The Sims
Day of Reckoning
Super Monkey Ball 2
The Incredibles
The gamecube plus 2 controllers and a memory card
Which in total only cost us $20.

So for everything we got today we only spent $51!

Welp, I just beat Ni No Kuni. I am now on my way to 100% it but the main story is complete. That was a fantastic game!

Bobster and I decided to stop at GameStop today and saw this. It's the collectors edition, sealed and it only cost us $15!

And I thought I got a good deal when I got an opened "new" copy at EB Games for $20 CAD. Nice find though, it's a really awesome collector's edition! Are you going to leave it sealed, or open it and play it?

Open and play it. We're not really sealed collectors.

Folks, just keep all photos PG, allright? We don't want anyone getting in trouble over them.

I'm personally not a fan of tattoos and most piercings in general, and as such I'll stay in the sidelines. But again. Keep it classy. Please.

No butt tattoos? :'( Just kidding

Any Earthbound tattoo is an awesome tattoo, except for the lame ones. Sorta off-topic, but not unrelated question for those who've gotten tattoos before. How can you tell the good, legit tattoo parlors from the sketchy ones? Most of the ones in my area seem a bit off.

I asked around first and went to a place that a couple of my friends went to. Sorry I can't be anymore help but I would say just ask around.

Right now I'm playing Mario Kart 8 online.  People are way better at this than me.

I feel your pain, I thought I was doing good then tried to play online. I was mistaken. I think Bobster just lets me win sometimes for a ego boost.

Bob, I dont have any other Nintendo Powers to trade with, only a few Final Fantasy strategy guides I dont care for.  Just curious, how much would you take total to sell them?

So I am at least interested in the Final Fantasy strategy guides. May I ask which ones you have?

Well-played, you..."lesser half", you  :'(

I'll have Rentgirl take a picture of my tattoos tonight and post em. More people need to post their tattoos!

My mother's getting a Yoshi tattoo soon, maybe I should post it too when she does haha. I think she has 6 or 7 right now. She said she'd pay me my first tattoo for my 16th birthday, and I'm still waiting to claim this gift. Maybe someday 

Oh man Yoshi tattoo that's awesome! I would definitely hold her to that, if you want one of course.

Thank you! The guy that did the Tetra one was awesome. We listened to FF soundtracks all day. It took him about 10 hours, that does include food / smoke breaks.

So I was looking and didn't see a topic of this yet so I figured I would make one!
I love tattoos but so far only have 2 video game related ones but am going to be getting a FFX one in about a month in which case I will post at that time. These are pictured from when I got them done. The Tetra was done about 3 years ago and the 1UP mushroom about 4.

Once I am done with Ni No Kuni I might actually take a stab at my first SNES RPG.

First off, hi ... I am the SOERA that has been mentioned all over. No need to fear me and actually hero worship is not only permitted but accepted as norm in here.

Second, I hate to say it but if you are going to follow Ni no Kuni with anything, you will be disappointed. Everyone knows how I feel about the game so no need to say anymore on that.

If you are going to play some SNES RPGs, I would suggest FF VI, Chrono Trigger, Breath of fire and SMB RPG (and on a smaller level, Tecmo secret of the stars). FF Mystic quest is too basic, FF IV is good but doesnt quite reach VI levels, Earthbound was not appealing to me gameplay wise at all. Breath of fire II is good but the original is the best. Ys III is a horrible example of the series. The Ultima games dont hold a candle to Ultima IV. Ogre battle is a tactical RPG and not my style. I also could not get into the action RPG style of the Lufia/Mana/Gaia games. Not much else to mention.

Hi Soera!
I am thinking I might just play FFV so then I can play FFVI since I am trying to play them in order so I can get to FFX HD (I <3 that game and haven't played HD version yet)
I guess I really just have to take a look at what Bob and I have as well to figure out what to play. He is my biggest influence and he loved Earthbound which is why it was on my list.

Don't forget Secret of Mana! the great thing about that is that you guys could play it together too. The only SNES RPG I know of that has a multiplayer option.

That's a good suggestion! I recently played through that game a couple months ago, and it was a lot more brutal than I remembered. But playing multiplayer might make it easier!

I didn't even realize that it was multiplayer, don't think Bobster told me about that. That will be on the list as well to play soon.
So many RPGs not enough time.

Hi all!
I'm Courtney (Bobsters better half!)

For the most part I created this to keep track of all the games that we have that I have actually played. So my collection only looks poor because of that, his collection is actually my collection as well. Whether he wants to admit that or not. 
I honestly don't know what my favorite system is. I think I have to say a PS2. It's the first system I personally ever owned. Well I guess I will just leave it at that for now!

Don't worry guys, I'm showing her how awesome the Super Nintendo is!

PS2 does what Nintendoesn't! 

hahaha It doesn't surprise me you're a PS2 fan. Being a fan of JRPGs, it makes sense. But man do I love me some SNES RPGs.

Once I am done with Ni No Kuni I might actually take a stab at my first SNES RPG.

Which NES RPG might that be?!

Well I was thinking of either playing Earthbound or Super Mario RPG.
Both would please Bob. I am working my way to FFVI. I beat FFIV in April and haven't played FFV yet.

Don't forget about Chrono Trigger. I don't even like RPGs and I love that game.

I actually said that to Bob after I posted that. I played it on the DS but never got to the complete end of it.
