Pardon the groan-inducing pun, but I found a few things while I was out, and purchased a couple said finds. This is VGR, if you can believe it.

I'm not sure if this applied nationwide or what, but the Goodwill stores in this state (Indiana) all had half-off deals for the entire store. Usually, only select-color tags for the day are half-off but today was some nice exception, so my family decided to hit three nearby ones to see if we could find any great deals.

At the first one here in my hometown, I didn't find too much. There were nice shirts, and that wasn't too bad. Dad found this one and I had to get it:

Soulcalibur IV t-shirt, in my size no less! What you see is the back, and the SC4 logo is over the left breast part in the front. Hey, as if I don't have enough gaming shirts, right?

At the third, I found this:

Gunstar Heroes for the Genesis, with the original case, manual, and cartridge. All for $5.99 (or $3.00 today only). This was quite surprising. I also found Sonic Spinball but I didn't open it up to see what all was inside. Oh yeah, and there's a reason why I went out of order on my finds/visits. Because at the second one we visited, I found...


Holy shit. I made the stack myself, but I don't need to tell you what's in this picture. Apart from gems of Sega's console legacy (there was a PS1 nearby but I didn't want to insult the beauty of the shot).

Now, while that's all fine and good, there's a problem with all of these, mainly in that requisite cords were absent. What good is getting a system of antiquity when you can't really use it? And even for collection's sake, it's subpar because they're in varying stages of use/abuse.

But I still got a Dreamcast. For $3, no less! Though all it has is a power cord. I could've had all three for $9 today, but there wouldn't really be a reason to outside of bragging rights/trading. I can't do anything at all with my DC but turn it on (which I'm surprised it even did so), and I've have to hunt down cables and controllers and VMUs and games...yeah...

But I've got a Dreamcast. Shame this didn't come a whole eleven days ago.
