My last name is Kruger. I was born on Friday the 13th. Seriously.

I live in New Orleans.

I love video games. All systems, all consoles, all of them. You will just as soon see me playing a 1980's arcade game as you would the latest 360 release.

I love any and all horror games. I'm a horror fanatic.

I'm also a fighting game whore, especially 2-d fighters.

I enjoy playing old school games on emulators, and love finding old school games I've never heard of before.

I just got a new gaming tv! A 40" Sony Bravia LCD! It's gorgeous for games. Hit me up on Xbox Live : TheX13thXDragon.

Other shit I like, in no particular order:
Transformers, G.I. Joe, books, MC Chris, Lost, dragons, Puss N Boots from Shrek, H.P. Lovecraft, The Dark Tower, Tech N9ne, photography, samurai, Staind, animals, beer, X-Files, lots of other shit.

I hit the old school 2d fighter jackpot at Wal-Mart today.

Oh yeah. That's what I'm talkin' 'bout.

Being an avid SNK fan, an avid fighting game fan, and an avid old school fan, I had been meaning to pick these up but never got around to it. Imagine my surprise when I'm shopping at "The Wall" and see these on a Father's Day cardboard display of discount PS2 games. I was shocked to see these titles, since Wal-Mart normally doesn't stock the more obscure games, and they never received them when they were first released. And at $9.82 each? Done deal.

I also snagged:



You guys should hit up your local Wal-Mart and see if they have this Father's Day PS2 display. Other titles included: SOCOM 1 & 2, Jak II, Jak X Combat Racing, Sly Cooper 2, and some other crap titles. I'll probably go back and pick up SOCOM 1 & 2 since I don't already have them.

God, this blog looks like a Wal-Mart advertisement. Uhhhh.....Wal-Mart sucks!!!!! Yeah.

hmmm...must check walmart out. Just cause I want that world heroes collection.

too bad Samurai Showdown Anthology wasn't released earlier. Might've been thrown in and it would've really been a done deal.

@Infinite Obscurity

You don't live near a Wal-Mart? Where do you live? Antarctica?

@Shin Oni

Yes, I can't wait for the SS Anthology. I'll probably grab that one as soon as it is released.

I avoid Wally World at all costs, but this may entice me to make a trip.

Personally I prefer Target, as the store isn't nearly as cluttered and there are definitely less people around, not to mention the prices are practically the same.

But you wouldn't find these games there, so nice find!

@13th Dragon

Im in The Bronx. Apparently not too many realize this, but there are no Wal-Marts in the Bronx or in NYC. The closest Wal-Mart is either NJ or Long Island.
