...add Friday The 13th to the list.

Flawed, but good. A concept most cannot seem to grasp.

Media shelves, dresser drawers (sadly), and PSP is currently banished to inside of the TV console. I'm actually very tight on room at this point. Future purchases are going into one last drawer and then my space is maxed out.

Finally got a pack of 100 resealable DVD baggies... I guess it's part of the collection? Now to figure out which games get the honor.

...oh and, yeah I've got some games here and there. For the most part, whatever you can make out in my signature.

I can foresee myself maybe buying some PS4 games eventually, but the actual PS4 will come much later, if it comes at all. My approach to 8th gen is going to be a lot more conservative, I think.

Little bit depressed today over one of my local spots. This place has been pulling out their game stock from being in storage for over 5 years, with lots of great selection that's not picked over much and until today had been going by a flat cost policy of $10 per game, regardless of what it was. Been cherry picking that place for a while, and went there today to find out the owner has caught the game selling fever again, and now all games are $20, unless he has at least 5 copies of them, then it's $10. So basically 90% of the good games are $20 now. The only stuff they have with 5 copies is just the crap nobody wants. Looks like he'll be holding on to that massive stock for another 20 years at those rates.

If I could have known this was coming, I would have spent crazy money before. I had my eye on probably another 20 games there. Thought I could take my time. $:-\$

Mario Kart SNES is so cheap on 150cc. Just turns the computer into a sack of bricks that can defy all driving physics, and use special items constantly. This is got to be the hardest Mario Kart by far.

Why are regular 3DS consoles still more expensive than XL? Makes no sense to me. Hopefully prices will come down a bit when the "new" is released. I mean, everyone wants to use their amibos so, I imagine there will be an influx of pre-owned regular 3DS?

Classic Video Games / Re: Best European shop for retrogames?

I still can't get over the fact that you guys have a store called "Game". That's like a grocery store called Food. Or a hardware store called Lumber.

Recently got this album. Thoughts so far - it's not quite as enjoyable as the previous two, but still good. This album is heavy on the ambiance and droning repetition of sound collages instead of being a rhythm and melody type of deal. So it's a bit different, but some surprisingly catchy numbers on here. I think I like the first half of the album better than the second half, which gets a little too spacey for me.

Been meaning to get a physical copy of this for years. I was sure FYE didn't carry it, that was until it showed up mysteriously in the clearance bin.

Great album, anyway.

Fragile Dreams: Farewell ruins of the moon is a game which has won over my heart, FINALLY kindling my true artistic side. It's a little hard to explain, but I love this game for what it's helped me accomplish within the real world... I know, that's a little deep.

I can admit that this game does have its problems, the writing and themes unfortunately do overshadow the gameplay greatly, so it is a bit of a mixed bag at its core. Using the Wii remote to aim within smaller rooms can be quite awkward at times.

If you like the mysterious themes of Silent Hill but are simply too terrified to go near the game like myself, and you're a fan of Anime/Manga art style. Then this game should be very welcome within your collection.

Yeah, I think the story was fantastic, and the world was magical. Very moving, kinda almost too much for me at times!
