Hey everyone! Been to the c-blogs lately? Yea, pretty ugly huh, all that spam and nonsense....ugh, my brain hurts....
I am posting this, against my better judgement because I have the feeling that it may end up a couple pages back in an hour or so, if the blogs keep going the way they are going. In keeping with tradition I will be posting my haul from oldest to newest, well as close to that as I can. On with the show! The first item on our stop (pretend with me that we are on some magical train or something) is; SHINNING FORCE THE SWORD OF HAJYA
This is one of the more difficult to find Game Gear games so to say that I was excited when I found it would be a HUGE understatement, and the fact that it still in it's original box (which is in great shape) just makes it that much better. Next up we have; GAME BOY COLOR CARRYING BAG I don't really know why I keep buying these, I have this weird thing for Game Boy cases, I must have like, 20 now or something, all different. Weird. Maybe I should talk to someone about this....
Hey, who here likes Pokemon? POKEMON SNAP
Here we have Pokemon Snap for the Nintendo 64. I don't know where I got this or why I bought it but I'm sure it was cheap, or in some bundle...I don't know.. I found these next few games all wrapped together at Goodwill (minus Bully, that's another story), they had a price tag of $2.99 on them so I figured what the hell. PLAYSTATION 2 GAMES
GRAND THEFT AUTO SAN ANDREAS, CONFLICT DESERT STORM, JAK AND DAXTER, BULLY & CONFLICT GLOBAL TERROR The Bully game that you see there was actually bought at GameStop during their buy 2 get 1 free sale on all PS2 and GameCube games. Now this next picture actually has some relevance since a new Hitman game was officially announced; HITMAN TRILOGY
This was also found at Goodwill for a cool $5.00 bucks. Have I mentioned just how much I love Goodwill? Speaking of games in box sets! MORTAL KOMBAT KOLLECTION
I bought this because I wanted to put them in between the wicked Mortal Kombat bookends that I got with the new Mortal Kombat game that was just released (pics down below) Oh I also bought these to go with those; MORTAL KOMBAT DEADLY ALLIANCE & MORTAL KOMBAT DECEPTION
I probably wouldn't have bought that version of Deception if I had talked to Funktastic beforehand since I didn't realize that it was supposed to come with a bunch of stuff. Oh well, live and learn I guess. OMFG! A PLAYSTATION 2 GAMETAP!
Yea, I don't really have anything more to add to that. So I know that like, everyone and their brother is excited that Valve put out another Portal game and all but seriously, they really need to continue or finish this series; HALF-LIFE 2
Still sealed, found at Goodwill, 2 bucks. I really love the Half-Life series and feel like Valve is kinda shitting on one of it's most beloved games, I get it, people like Portal and yes, people like Left 4 Dead but guess what Valve? People like Half-Life too! Get on it Gabe. So at the recommendation of our pal SuperMonk4Ever I decided to pick up this next item; DJ HERO 2 BUNDLE
Yea so, I tried this game, and let me just say for the record, I suck at it. I'm great on easy but once I move to medium, forget it. I like the music though and it seems like it would be pretty fun in a group setting. Oh and it was only $29.00 bucks new, can't beat that. Now I haven't tried this next one yet (as of this post) but people seem to be very mixed about it; BRINK
I was super excited to get this and despite the reviews I am still excited to try it out. I'm sure that there will be issued and bugs that will need to be ironed out but that's true for pretty much every game released these days. It wouldn't be a ChillyBilly haul post with a few Nintendo DS games right? Right? ULTIMATE MORTAL KOMBAT, THOR & BRAIN AGE 2
Thor is actually quite fun, if you like side scrolling beat 'em up's and Mortal Kombat is well, Mortal Kombat. Oh hey, more DS games! So um, anyone here heard of this series? I heard that it was a pretty big deal... PHOENIX WRIGHT ACE ATTORNEY, and JUSTICE FOR ALL, TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS & APOLLO JUSTICE
These are just, phenomenal games, a must play/own for any DS owner. So Brink wasn't the only game that came out today; LEGO PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN
These are just great fun games and they look awesome on the 3DS. Highly recommended for any 3DS owner out there. Oh and if you preordered it you also got a cool Jack Sparrow Lego figure. OBLIGATORY XBOX 360 GAME PICTURE! DJ HERO 2, LEGO ROCK BAND & MORTAL KOMBAT
Another recommendation from SuperMonk4Ever was that Lego Rock Band up there, you can pick it up pretty cheap these days and it is quite fun. Now this next item is something that I am super proud of, and I need to give big thanks to my girlfriend and to Funktastic for talking me in to going back to the store and picking this bad boy up; MARVEL vs CAPCOM ARCADE FIGHTSTICK TOURNAMANT EDITION!
I almost didn't buy this, I wasn't sure if I was getting a good deal or not based on how much it was, turns out I did. My girlfriend kept telling me to go back and get it because she knows me, she knows that if I didn't go back I would regret it, and Funk was kind enough to tell me that the asking price was MORE than fair for this beauty. Oh so, remember those Mortal Kombat games I posted earlier? Remember how I mentioned that I bought them to put in between these wicked Mortal Kombat bookends that I just got? Yea, these are those bookends; MORTAL KOMBAT KOLLECTOR'S EDITION
I love this thing, seriously, it has become one of my favorite collectors items to date. Oh and it looks even cooler with games between Scorpion and Sub-Zero. You know what else is cool? Wii games... LITTLE KINGS STORY, CONDUIT 2 & TRAUMA CENTER NEW BLOOD
For the record, Conduit 2 is actually a very good game, one of the best shooters for the Wii (in my opinion). Ok, the rest of this blog is just gonna be some promo stuff that I have acquired over the past month or so, I'm just gonna post pics with a very brief description of each item.
HYPERDIMENSION NEPTUNIA ART BOOK
SOCOM 4 WRIST BANDS
THOR / SEGA / GAMESTOP 3D GLASSES
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN PROMO POSTER
RECORD OF AGAREST WAR & L.A. NOIRE GAMESTOP PROMO POSTERS
INFAMOUS & L.A. NOIRE GAMESTOP OVERSIZED GAME BOX DISPLAYS
RED FACTION ARMAGEDDON, CHILD OF EDEN & CARS 2 GAMESTOP OVERSIZED GAME BOX DISPLAYS
NASCAR 2011 GAMESTOP PROMO POSTERS (hard plastic)
LEGO STAR WARS III & SOCOM 4 GAMESTOP PROMO POSTERS (hard plastic)
PILOTWINGS RESORT 3D & SSFIV 3DS PROMO POSTERS (hard plastic) So that about wraps it up for this latest haul post. Before I go though I have one last picture, it is totally not game related but it is awesome nonetheless; ULTRAMAN THE COMPLETE SERIES
I absolutely LOVED this show when I was a kid, I remember sitting in front of the T.V with my friends in absolute awe at how awesome Ultraman was. Amazon had these on sale for $6.99 about a month ago and for that price I couldn't resist. Thanks for taking the time to stop by and look at my wares and I hope you all have a great night! Until next time! ~ChillyBilly

My eyes are bugging out just look at it.
Kinda surprised at the quality of those book ends. They look very nice. Maybe one day I'll find them at the Goodwill. What are they made of? Looks like heavy plastic or resin maybe? Lovely haul this go around. Thank you for posting some quality stuff today. It took some courage considering the past few hours.
Also, Shaolin Monks is very underappreciafed.
Also Aslo, I play DJ hero on Expert, and I've four starred Groundhog by Noisa.
Awesome haul!
That bookend is nice though, I thought it was just a statue when I saw the promos.
I love Ultraman.
And Pokemon Snap is my favorite N64 game (next to Kirby 64).
I love this.
Did your girlfriend finally bug you enough to get Bully so she could do that study? Also now seeing the Zmortal Kombat bookends I can see why you guys wanted it. Sure looks spiffy. Alot of great stuff there, as always those GameStop hookups really pay off!
@Wolfy: I don't think the first Jak & Daxter is too rare. I just bought one for like $3 at a Buybacks.
I'd stare in wonder, become over-stimulated, then proceed to get sick and pee a little, all while tell everyone I know it was the best time of my life.
Not attaching picture, for obvious reasons.
Conduit 2 is a game I've been seeking. I just finished Red Steel 2 and I'm jonesing for some more wii-motion plus gaming. Since there's not a whole lotta games that support the WMP (go figure!) I really want to find Conduit 2. I hear it's great, but can be finished relatively quick, in a few hours.
Have you finished it yet? How long was the campaign? I'm going to get it some time when it drops in price (or if you ever move here to the city, we can do some borrowing from ea. other, maybe?!).
I Picked up Zelda twilight princ. today for $17 at Gamestop (the release of the nintendo "select" version for 19.99 dropped the price big-time on the preowned copies) and Dream Trigger for 3DS (stay away from that one, trust me).
As always, nice stuff, bro! I'll get my "man-cave" pics up soon, gotta move over one room in the apt to a bigger space, once I get it organized, I'll blog it!
Sigh...
I want to pick up that Thor game, but I know it's going to drop in price in 3 months when they clear stock for Captain America.
At least I have the Flash game to tie me over.
@CoruptAI125: It's not often I find something though, there are more "misses" than hits that's for sure. You can always check out their online auction site (www.shopgoodwill.com) lots of gaming goodies there.
@Jimmy1098577: But i'm not ready to give it all up yet....
@Falsenipple: Right now? In boxes, lots and lots of boxes
@Occams: Super 8 or Motel 6? Or are we talking one of those super seedy motels that are run by an elderly couple? You know the kind, where the curtains are from the 40's and the "Queen Sized Beds" are just two twin beds pushed together. Oh and the bookends are made from a hard plastic, they look a lot heaview than they really are
@Wolfy-Boey: You know, I've never played a Jak & Daxter game but I've heard good things about them. As for the DJ Hero on expert thing, yea not gonna happen here pal. At least not for a very long time.
@Handy: I almost didn't post at all, the blogs were being overrun by vermin and I was almost at the point of giving up
@Law: Phoenix Wright is simply, awesome oh and so is Ultraman! Nice to know there is a fellow fan out there.
@Gareth: Yea from what I understand Monk doesn't really care for it, as for me though I think it's great. And yea, gotta break out the PS2 now so the girlfiend can play bully for her study.
@Kraid: A lot of what you see there was free (all the promo stuff) and the stuff I get from Goodwill is usually super cheap
@TriplZero: Yea I've heard the same things about Little Kings Story, I'm actually looking forward to starting that one up
@Nova Prime: I really like the Thor game, it looks great and is jsut simple mindless fun, can't beat that. You may be able to snag one of the Jack Sparrow
Lego figures from your local GameStop, from what I understand they got a bunch in.
@Venus: Yea well, we didn't want the trolls and spammers taking over so I took a stand and actually posted a normal blog
@BBain: Thanks! I think they look great together as well
@HandsomeBeast: We have a couple Salvation Army stores here and they are VERY hit or miss, plus they seem to have higher prices than most thrift stores that I visit.
I'm not saying you can't find some gems though, I know I have.
@HappyDayWarrior: When we finally get moved and settled I'm gonna do a blog on my entire collection, won't be until later this summer though.
Oh and I'm glad you decided against the picture, you did a well enough job with the description =)
@JQM78: I haven't beaten Conduit 2 yet but I'm pretty close, it is a rather short game, you can easily get through it with a couple of short play session. Still a great game though. Can wait to see the "Man Cave" pics, I do love me some gaming setups!
@Funk: Wait, which line? I swear, I'm all original =)
@Celica: Thanks!
@ManaSteel88: Yea I sorta lucked out on those Phoenix Wright games, someone traded them all in towards a new 3DS, bad for them, good for me.
I definitely suggest picking up that Thor game, you're right of course, give it a couple months and the price will most definitely be marked down.
@Leni: Yea well, you may just be getting your very own SOCOM wristband in the mail, along with something else. You never know.......
