This week saw a duo of decent Craigslist pickups. After the first set, I was pretty set on not spending any more money on Craigslist stuff, but then the following…
It’s been busy season over here, and as such I haven’t been able to get to this blog for almost two weeks! Thankfully during this time I’ve had plenty of opportunities to swing by some video game stores and take advantage of the sales of the season! A rule I’ve always stuck by during late November through December is not buying games that are on my Christmas list. Therefore most of these games aren’t all too spectacular. But hey, they’re here now, and that’s what really matters! (more…)
This could very well be a first for Sunday Roundup: We’ve got not one, but two new consoles on this week’s update of games! And to make it even better, there are more than a dozen PS1 games I picked up from a friend back in Michigan City, many of them rare and hard to find in excellent condition! Prices were fair and they were shipped here well, so really no complaints around. Also, Buy 2 Get 1 Free for Black Friday deals at GameStop always get my cravings up. Here we go! (more…)
Here are a few weeks worth of game’s that have come in. A lot of these have been ordered for months now, with a few having been ordered when they were first announced! It’s November now, and with the wintery months comes tons of Triple A video games, so let’s get this started! (more…)
Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei Nintendo 3DS Release Date: April 19th, 2016 Purchased at: Amazon (Online, $9) While perusing the "You Might Be Interested In" section on Amazon I came across Langrisser among…
After a kinda good, kinda bad haul from the citywide garage sale last weekend, I was hoping to find better luck searching through some GameStop’s I don’t usually get to visit this week. While a few stores had some new games for me, I have think I’m at the point where GameStop is no longer offering up anything new for my collection. Sadly most stores have all the same stuff visit after visit. So treat this intro as a request for any gamers out there looking to trade in games to trade them in so I can buy them. Thanks! (more…)
The City Wide garage sale was this weekend, and while I picked up a good haul of games, most of them were for reselling later (including a copy of Parasite Eve on PS1 for just $2!). There were, however, a couple of games I grabbed from a Craigslist seller I simply couldn’t believe were still available. And then the Dragon Quest VII port finally released on 3DS this week, so there are a ton of games to go over. Let’s get right into it! (more…)
Far Cry Primal PS4 Release Date: February 23rd, 2016 Purchased at: Target (Sunnyvale, CA - $18) While I wasn't incredibly impressed with Far Cry 4, I still thought it an exciting…
A few trips to GameStop were sadly uneventful, but a return to my friendly ol’ Sunnyvale store proved to be worthwhile yet again! I do find it weird that whenever there’s a “4 for $40” or “4 for $20” sale, or something similar, I can always find three games I want really quickly, and then have trouble finding a fourth. I usually end up getting trash, which is the case yet again this week. Also, and more excitingly, I went back to the De Anza flea market this weekend! There was tons more booths with video games! I was incredibly impressed by their selection, quality, and, most of all, price! The best find was some Skylanders toys, which I’ll get into at the end here.
X-Men vs. Street Fighter Sega Saturn Release Date: November 21st, 1997 Purchased at: N/A (Birthday Gift) My brother visited this week for our annual California Extreme visit, and he brought…
