About

I have an unhealthy love of cheeseburgers. Chances are I'm eating one now.

My earliest memory is of my brother and me opening a big golden package on Christmas, and to our complete and utter surprise, it was an NES. That pretty much frames my life, one of abject geekiness.

I tend to enjoy the solo experience of a video game more than the multiplayer(although I do love playing games with my friends), so I'm a huge fan of third person adventure games, and think that Ocarina of Time is the single greatest video game ever made.

Also, I love watching people play games, be they RPGs, FPSs, Action-Adventure, most anything other than sports games.

I sat out in the Maine winter on November 18th to get a Wii at launch, and cannot be happier about it.

Faith in the Good Will restored

8:08 PM on 06.24.2008

So right now I'm writing this on my laptop with about half an hour of battery power left, because my power cord is literally sparking and I don't feel safe with it plugged in, so I'm gonna keep it short.

Today at the Good Will I might have made the greatest discovery ever:

Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis

Complete with everything, even the registration card, and Lucasarts' old game magazine, The Adventurer.

Now, as some of you may know, I am a sucker for the old Lucasarts games, and to find their magnum opus for a buck fifty nine in a Good Will is amazing.

Anyways, as I said, I've only got about half an hour worth of power left, so I haven't given it a whirl, but it's still a great find.

Anyone else find any old games at the Good Will? Or any thrift store for that matter?

Is this blog awesome? Vote it up!

Damn, that's a Dyson grade find there.

At Goodwill? Really?

I think you need to buy a lottery ticket with the kind of luck you're having, my friend.

OK, I gotta go to Good Will

Dammit.... I need a Good Will store near me. All we've got is the Salvation Army.

Congrats! Goodwill stories always make me happy ^_^

I have three goodwills near me and the most I've found was a pack of 7 atari games for 3 bucks (which I don't even have an atari to play them on...)and DC NFL Blitz 2000 for 3 bucks.

Though I have a retro game/comic/general geekery shop around here that I can find quite a fw nice things at around here.

I used to have that game when I was a kid. I could never figure that shit out so I gave up in like the second area.

Found a copy of Sim Copter.

Should've left it there...

Tenro

God, I miss that game. Played it to the end at my cousins' house probably twice. Good call picking that up.

Never found a cool game at a Goodwill, but I found a copy of the first Bard's Tale at a used bookstore. Didn't pick it up, because I was young and naive, but it was there.
