Oh ok! Neither of them are super expensive since I last looked so I'll definitely be checking them out at some point.

They haven't jumped in price in a while, so you should be good Definitely one of my favorite series on the GC (even though I haven't finished either).

That's great that they're still low in price! If and when you do start playing them, I look forward to hearing your impressions.

Maybe I spoke too soon.... Origins is getting up closer to $40-50 these days :/ Still doable, but a little tougher for folks.  I thought I paid too much a while ago buying a sealed copy for $20, but that was a number of years ago.

Damn. I found mine (complete) in an old game store only a few years ago for 12 dollars and change.

This industry be crazy.

Gosh darn it I just got a bootleg DVD box set. Is there anything out there that they don't fake? I would be okay with it, but reviews of this online say the video and audio quality are crappy.

I have an extra loose copy but I think paid like $20. 

My replacement complete copy was like $30.

won Tickets to another convention at A Video Game Con's the Gaming Historian's Panel on the tenth... and this is the picture they posted (I'm on the Left)

it wasn't that I was unhappy about it, I just really suck at getting my picture taken

So, I bought a game on Amazon, from Amazon, for $3.  I do this fairly frequently.  I got a tracking update that said "Delivery Attempted.  Notice Left."  No notice on my door.  No notice in my mail box.  I even received 2 other packages at the same time, both delivered to my mailbox.  My post office doesn't answer their phone.

I don't know if I should bother fighting with the USPS over a $3 game or just ask Amazon to give me back my $3 and let them fight USPS.

They usually do a second notice, no? I thought they did before sending it back, but I might be wrong. That's annoying... it's possible the slip was dropped or stuck to something else. Maybe shoot USPS an email with any tracking information you have?

I don't understand why it's happened.  Amazon never requires signature.  This is a $3 game.

The note isn't always about a signature. Sometimes they just don't feel comfortable leaving the item for whatever reason. I've totally had it happen where they've made me pick up a $5 item but left a $85 item the same day on my porch. *shrugs*

Yeah, but why not put the package in the mailbox with the other 2 packages?  My neighborhood has those lockboxes at the end of every street.  The box definitely has room for an NES game and 2 PSX games.

We had this conversation before about people taking pictures of their food.

I just made use of it.  A specific food truck is going to be at my office today.  I thought I had had it before, so I went and looked through my twitter to find a picture.  Found it, and instantly recalled that the food was absolutely disgusting.

I need to make a habit of replying to my picture with what I thought about the food though, just in case I forget.
