Goodwill is Ready to Friday for Dyson's Birthday!!!
Dyson | 9:08 PM on 10.24.2008 55 comments




How 'bout them apples? Walking into Goodwill today yielded a higher bounty of awesome than usual. Maybe the retro god that lives underneath the store is giving me an early birthday gift (my birthday is tomorrow the 25th), or maybe it's just another day in the life of Team Awesome's most retro member?

Who cares, because you never question the awesome!

Gotten for $3.49 each:

[i]Super Metroid

FFII

FFIII

Secret of Mana

Kirby Super Something 8 Game Adventure Thing

Actraiser 2

Secret of Evermore

Breath of Fire[/i]

Now that's the way to start an awesome weekend of awesome!

Oh. my... See, I started going to goodwill after listening to RFGO in the early days. Best they had was tomb raider for PC. Awful. I envy you. Best wishes on ur g'day and much more retro in your future.

KamikazeTutor's Destructoid Blog
Good for you! Now go back to editing RFGO! The laugh audio levels are off the scale and I can't listen to it anymore.
droobies's Destructoid Blog
I'm glad I score such awesome stuff in the future. How about you ship that copy of Secret of Mana to the past so I can enjoy it?
NihonTiger90's Destructoid Blog
I am so damn jealous of you, Dyson.

Also, happy birthday!
Tdiddy9182's Destructoid Blog
If I had those already, I'd pick em up again for 3.50 a pop!!
Dexter345's Destructoid Blog
Holy crap. What are you going to do with those? I know for a fact that you already own Super Metroid and Kirby Superstar, because I played them at your house. Planning for a contest, or just impulse buying because they were such great deals?
topgeargorilla's Destructoid Blog
you son of a bitch. Lucky haul!

Also, I have some super sad news: I have a nasty stomach flu, (among other things that Tactix will fill in for you), so I won't be able to make it tomorrow! I'm so sorry! But seriously, we're gonna chill, especially since I've got some kick-ass news, that, once again, you'll have to get from Tactix.
njsykora's Destructoid Blog
Are you fucking kidding me?

Happy birthday though man, may your BBCode fail continue for many years to come.

You are truly a god among men when it comes to acquiring awesome shit from Goodwill. Happy birthday, you lucky bastard!
Dyson's Destructoid Blog
I fail at BBC code, but win at awesome. I <3 you guys!!!

Final Fight rules! DO WANT!

Some of these will be gifts, some will be ....

When, not if, I come back to the show, it will overload everything we've done before. Of course, only with the help of my incredibly awesome friends :)
Kinji's Destructoid Blog

SO JEALOUS
Funktastic's Destructoid Blog
MERRY BIRTHDAY YO! ^_^ Damn . . . I got all of those from my "cheap retro game" place, but not even close to those awesome prices, and still no Secret of Mana . . . -_-' . . . kickass haul though!
Wexx's Destructoid Blog
O MAH GAWD! I wish I had your goodwill, that's almost disgusting it's so good.
A New Challenger's Destructoid Blog
Jesus, the best I've found at my Goodwill is Twisted Metal 2 for PC.

Happy Fucking Birthday indeed!
conehead the barbarian's Destructoid Blog
WOW! Happy birthday!
MissHinasaki's Destructoid Blog
Obviously your Goodwill has been blessed by Jesus!

And happy birthday, Dyson! ^_^
manasteel88's Destructoid Blog
yeah....my Goodwill isn't even open yet.

Happy B-Day and that is a freaking haul you picked up.
franchise's Destructoid Blog
Happy B-day! Please hurry back to RFGo! They're doing an admirable job without you, but the next time I hear "Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaand welcome, to RetroforceGO!" in your voice, I'll probably have to change my pants!
Chooly's Destructoid Blog
Happy Early Birthday,
Also - kirby superstar for just >$3.00? Good find
welkstar's Destructoid Blog
$3.49 each?! Holy smokes! You sir, are the winner. Congrats and Happy Birthday!

I paid over seven times that for both Secret of Evermore and Final Fantasy 3. And ActRaiser 2 is just pure win in itself.

It's not often you can get these games cheaper in physical cart form versus the Virtual Console.

opeth2112's Destructoid Blog
The Goodwill near me in Greenwood Indiana has some dirty underwear if anyone is looking. Also, a couple Thriller cassettes and a nice brown 30 cassette holder for said jewels...oh yeah, and a broken fishing pole.

 about me



When not protecting the world from the injustices on all things non-awesome, I have some time to play some games. Not much time, but I do what I can. There's a lot of non-awesome in the world, so myself and the rest of the members of Team Awesome stay quite busy.

Also, I live in San Francisco, so if you're in the area or see me around say hi. I promise I won't bite. I work full-time for two different video game related companies. At one I test the vidja games. At the other I do PR for video games. Eventually I will only be doing the PR gig, so I'll finally have some free time in which I can return to hosting RetroforceGO!

I'd tell you the names of the companies, but I think the one I test for would probably have a hissy fit if their legal department knew there was a Destructoid Associate Editor in their testing department ;)


Random bullshit:

I like pizza rolls
Diet Pepsi is win
I have a yellow Cuban pimp suit



I'm Scorpio
SNES was prolly my most favorite system
I have a cape and wear it often
I do not like banana flavored candy of any kind
I drink beer from brown paper bags
Weezer's El Scorcho pretty much describes me
You can always crash on my couch
I flip a coin like Two-face to make decisions
