Nintendo 64 Store Kiosk http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/6295/n64kiosk.jpg I came across this beast on Craigslist a few days ago. The seller was a contractor who desperately needed money. I shot him an offer, and to my surprise, he quickly took me up on it. Next thing I know, I'm hauling this 300 p...

Looking closer at the price... It looks like the last completed New in Box copy went for $140, but there was a tear in the seal. From my experience, the price of sealed games tend to change very quickly. When I got my sealed copy of Shenmue 2 PAL, it was selling (and completing) for around $300. Sin...

I picked this up at the flea market today for just 3 dollars. It is new and unopened with the shrink-wrap fully intact. Apparently new copies are going from 200 to 300 dollars on Amazon and Ebay . Used copies without the box are 40 dollars and up. http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/6343/systemshock2...

You won't get a headache if you make sure to play in a dark room and take frequent breaks. Your eyes are overwhelmed when you quickly go from just black & red to a blast of bright colors. Today's trip was successful. The Blockbuster Case looks great, and so do the game boxes. These massive plast...

Really? You didn't like Rio? I was all over that when it was released.

I'm a sucker for animated movies.
I'm looking forward to many of the movies on that list =)!

Esquire Fox

Truth be told, I didn't know it existed until you mentioned it. I'll keep an eyes out for that system. Maybe one of the locals will post an ad. Sega's first console was the SG-1000. But it was only released in Japan and Australia. Before that, they just made arcade games, and ports for Atari and Col...

If it helps, we keep everything very organized and often sell spare copies and doubles. I keep a mental list of valuable games and systems and buy them when I can get them for cheap. Reselling allows me to defray the cost of collection somewhat. A good example of hoarding can be found in the show 'A...

Yes! I've finally come across a copy of Earthbound. http://img830.imageshack.us/img830/6273/earthbound.png ---- ...my brother wants to call it his collection since it is mostly his money, but it is mostly a family effort. ^^ I like to call it my collection because I fund the 'vast' majority of it.

I feel I need to clarify.
By 'from scratch', I mean picking and ordering all the parts online, then assembling it all.
I wish I was solely responsible for designing the circuitry in my computer!

Esquire Fox

I am just too pleased with how well this turned out, so I have to share it. When my old computer fried 2 months ago, I built a new one from scratch with one purpose in mind. It was going to have 2 graphics cards running SLI (shared workload) with 3 monitors. My second graphics card came in yesterday...

Zelda: Skyward Sword has been an amazing experience so far.
The motion controls for the sword are very accurate and immersive.
It is time to dust off your Wii console.

Popular internet celebrity Doug Walker, The Nostalgia Critic, has pointed out that if this bill passes, he'll likely have to stop making videos. http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/thatguywiththeglasses/nostalgia-critic/33243-top-11-reasons-he-wont-review-digimon (No cursing, SAFE) There are...

The smell of wet dog is usually considered gross by humans.
King was probably not expecting a pleasant aroma, but his nose is a lot more sensitive as a dog.
Either that or all his senses are blinded by love.

Those eyes are just way too adorable on him.

PETA has issued an apology of sorts: http://kotaku.com/5860212/peta-that-whole-bloody-mario-thing-that-was-just-a-joke "We know how beloved Mario is-we are huge Mario fans ourselves! We were a little surprised that the game was taken so literally by some, but we're thrilled that we're able to b...

And the slims aren't reverse compatible. Of course I can get the 120gb for 250 bucks now. I would recommend buying a 20GB PS3 and putting a new drive in it but... Well, there was a flood in Thailand around the start of November. Thailand is one of the worlds largest manufacturers of hard drives. We...

I was considering posting about this, but it seems to be a very political issue. This can affect the whole of the internet though, so I believe it is an appropriate discussion topic. It seems the bill will allow attorneys in the industry (particularly Hollywood) to shut down infringing websites at w...

Typically, with multiplatform releases, developers write the code for the Xbox 360 version. Since the 360 is basically a Windows PC, porting to the PC is quick and painless. The PS3 has more power under the hood, but is difficult to write code for. Porting to the PS3 is much harder, so the ports usu...

They do this for publicity more than anything. PETA seems to feed on the negative emotions of its members. ----- It would be a lot more effective (and sane) if they actually took a positive approach to campaigning. "Hey kids, liking the new Tanooki Suit in Super Mario 3D Land? Its great fun! Bu...

I had a hunch Bailey would help, but I saw it going down with a lot less action.
Now let the complications begin!

Esquire Fox

Let's just leave it at that.
We're dissecting the situation a bit too much.

We'll see what happens next on Wednesday =)!

Esquire Fox

I don't think consequence is on his mind right now. The sensible thing would be to walk away, but he is asserting himself. It is pure adrenaline. Act first, think later. The argument is rather standard form. Comebacks and one-ups. The bully was set to argue from the get go, while King made an attemp...

Esquire Fox

To me he was introduced as a rebel, demonstrated by his actions with PETA. As King, he is a conflicted character, torn between his new and past life. He's my favorite character for his depth and complexity. He is confronting this bully as Joel, not as King. He is demanding the respect an adult his a...

Esquire Fox

Hey! I'm of Nordic stock... I don't think it was--usually Joel/King is passive-aggressive. He didn't even threaten Bino when CATNIP EXPLODED IN HIS FACE. Nor did he threaten Pete when Pete wouldn't let him go to the barbecue. Now a kid just calls him "dog" and tells him to get off the porc...

Esquire Fox

I'm sure this 'relaxing' visit to the countryside will be interrupted soon.
Probably by one of King's many great cosmic destinies.

Namely the one where he can't ever have a good time without something bad happening.

Esquire Fox

Wait, the end of the third year?
Aww man, I had entirely forgotten.

No grand scheme to embarrass Rick from me this year.
Lets reschedule for say... Christmas

Esquire Fox

I love the character building and conflicts in this arc.
That is to say, I don't think the arc is over just yet.
Though I won't guess what comes next; its Rick's story, not mine.

Esquire Fox

That was quite the weekend. I now have a 3DO, CD-i, and Virtual Boy. Of the three, the V-Boy has been the most fun. The 3D is impressive and the games are high quality. Luckily, I haven't felt any negative effects from playing it. Perhaps I am just not as prone to headaches as some others. Flint pla...

Can we make the rational assumption that fate isn't waterproof?

So now it is raining. Coincidence!? I think not.
The question is what happens if the watch stops.

I will be meeting someone to buy a Philips CD-i tomorrow.
What comes with it? Well the Zelda CD-i games of course!

This should be quite the experience...

The real name is actually much longer: Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat. I'm afraid from where I currently live, it isn't possible to find a showing. The show tours rather exclusively around Europe, and the UK particularly. I may have to find a way to watch it online though, acting on yo...

Theater and Performing Arts Beginning with this year, I've started discovering and attending shows and performances more frequently. I would previously hold off from these events due to the price tag and travel involved. However, the area I live in now is between 3 major cities that often get visit...

Community college for the first 2 years, then 4 (or 6) years at a moderate University. I don't apply for student loans, you end up paying those things off till you are 30. Scholarships would be nice, but grades alone won't score me one of those. I don't have the time between work and class to partic...

That explains a lot.

Please excuse the horrendous quality.

If it would please the Coalition of Correct Word Usage Enforcers, I will withdraw the word 'irony' from my previous statement.
Ironically would work better there anyways.
