I have been kicking myself ever since that game launched and I had the opportunity to get one, but didn't. The target I went to had them the day the Jigglypuff Amiibo came out and because I was already throwing a ton of money at Amiibos that day I skipped out on Splatoon. Ended up picking Splatoon anyways like a day later, but the squirt guns were all gone by then. Was happy to finally get one yesterday.

I splurged way too much cash on this.

I bought five Telltale adventure games I was missing off Humble:

Game of Thrones
Tales from the Borderlands
The Walking Dead: Season 2
Jurassic Park
The Wolf Among Us

Of course with my luck they'll all end up being Humble Bundled next week...

These are my monthly pickups

I attempted to give the stories of how I got everything here but accidentaly Xed out of the page somehow right when I finished the post. so I will re-add the stories tomorrow

So Best Buy was having a sale a few weeks back for a 40'' Samsung smart TV and a Master Chief collection Xbox one for $500. I needed a new TV so I went to pick it up and it was totally gone. I bugged them for a rain check and they let me have one (I was the only person in that store to get one). I went and picked it up Friday and since they were out of the MC Xbone, I got the Gears of War set instead. Not the biggest Microshaft fan in the world as many know but the TV by itself was $430 so it was a no brainer.

I've been seeing a lot of people getting Vectrex's lately. I never even heard of one, let alone seen one in person, until Mark on Classic Game Room got his and started his obsession with Vectrex.

You are so lucky! I want one so bad! It's just such a unique console.

I'll have a full post of some stuff from August for me up probably tomorrow but here is a nice little thing I found at the flea market for $125 yesterday. Happy to finally be a PS3 owner! (BTW it was sealed in box)

Final find for the month:


$2 (as part of a package.) Eh. I'll take it.

I also got Metal Gear Solid V: Ground Zeroes (Steam) for free from a GameTZ user. I just redeemed it; since Phantom Pain is apparently a complete microtransaction-riddled mess... I guess I'll just stick to this.

First time I saw it at my gs. Same with eternal sonata for 360, which I found a few weeks ago.

I guess this is the final post for the month...

I accidentally ended up winning Shrek Treasure Hunt and Rugrats: The Search for Reptar at a GameTZ auction last night. Both for PS1 at a dollar each plus shipping. Whoops?
