About Me

edit

What's it like to be me? Imagine a thousand people throwing a party inside of your head and you're stuck outside without a ticket.

I've been an avid fan/player of video games since I was a child. The first game system that I remember playing was the Atari 2600. I enjoy everything from RPG's, shooters, fighting games. sports games and even the occasional racing sim.

I'm what you would call a "collector" and every now and then I will share my gaming hauls for all of Destructoid to see.

As of this update (8.11.2011) I currently have:

28 Consoles
31 Handhelds
1138 physical copies of various games
145 digital copies of games
Tons of other video game related items

My kid, lavishing in all of her Mario goodness.

Sweet Goodwill Gaming Haul
ChillyBilly \| 8:06 PM on 04.18.2009	23 comments

So I decided to hit up some of the local Goodwill stores in my general vicinity today and boy am I glad I did!

Here we have Kirby Tilt N Tumble. Very fun game, I played it tonight for a bit. It's like Marble Madness but with Kirby.
========================================================================================

Fatality! Do I need to say more?
========================================================================================

$9.99 talk about a steal of a deal!
========================================================================================

Some N64 goodness. Yoshi's Story, WaveRace 64 and Diddy Kong Racing
========================================================================================

Now, no trip to Goodwill would be complete without some old school NES action. Bo Jackson Baseball, RoadBlasters, Bases Loaded 1 & 2, Karate Champ, Jack Nicklaus Golf & NES Football
========================================================================================

And finally Donky Konga Beat 2...best deal of the day by far. The whole set up including game and bongo's in the box was a whopping $9.99.

I still have like 4 more Goodwill stores that I need to hit up but i'll save those for another day. Til then!

I need to go to Goodwill....

ArcticFox

Oh man, Kirbys tilt and tumble was so awesome. And it was infuriating. I almost broke my game boy color, on more than one occasion, because of that game.

Walrus

How many games do you have? Given this and your last game-buying post, I haven't checked further back, it would seem you have a quite respectable collection.

CelicaCrazed

I'd buy extra GBAs just to be able to play Four Sword Adventure at least once with 4 players. Also, get Donkey Kong Jungle Beats now!!

ChronosWing

Heh back when Gamestop was getting rid of all their Donky Konga stock it was $10 brand new.

Funktastic

Hahaha! Seems like your Goodwill runs are like my Cash Converter runs good sir! d('-'d) Nice haul! ESPECIALLY that Toys 'R Us exclusive GBA . . . grrr . . . =P

TheCleaningGuy

Dang, I wish there were Goodwills in my neighborhood.
Only Value Villages, and they have horrible prices on games.

ChillyBilly

@ Funktastic. Yea I've got a Cash Converter literally 2 minutes away but they never really have anything good. I do check once a week though just to see what's changed.

wanderingpixel

I wish I had a Goodwill in my town.

AgentBBJ

Awesome finds!! I want those N64 games.

Insane Ian

I never NEVER find good games at the goodwills in my state...seriously, at most i'll find a genesis copy of madden 98....like, 12 of them. And 83 copies of Sonic 2...but that's it.

seigfreid

Holy shit. Where do you live. Is this Dysons goodwill.

ChillyBilly

@SEIGFREID: Chicago. I have like 20 near me in a 20 mile radius.

de BLOO

@Chilly

do you just ask for games there?

Or are they like a teasure hunt?

Never been in one, just donated there....

ChillyBilly

@DE BLOO: It's like a treasure hunt. Most of the Goodwill stores in my area have the gaming stuff in a locked cabinet. Every now and then I will find a loose NES or Genesis cartridge either with the toys or electronics.

de BLOO

Mine Goowill is more suburban.

I get the feeling finding stuff will be easy.

de BLOO

Ignore my shitacular spelling

ChillyBilly

DE BLOO: It's hit or miss really. I went to five different Goodwill stores yesterday and this is kind of how it went. The first store I went in to had a shit ton of gaming stuff, I probably could have walked out with a lot more than I did. The second only had one item that I could find. The third is where I got all those NES games but they didn't have anything else. The fourth store had so much shit that it would have cost well over 100.00 dollars had I bought it all and it would have filled up my trunk. The 5th store didn't have 1 single gaming item at all.
I typically go to each of these stores once every 2-3 weeks. Sometimes (like yesterday) I find some deals, other days I will go to all 5 (sometimes more) and not get a single thing.

Funktastic

I thought Cash Converters was just a Canadian thing, but upon some internet research, it's actually international . . . =S All I know is mine kickass man, lol, as you may or may not have seen with my "hauls."
