So, you know when you run into an old friend you haven't spoken to in ages on Twitter and you get talking and it turns out they're joining the Navy and getting rid of a whole load of stuff, then offer to give you a bunch of gaming hardware that they collected during the time they were working for CEX for FREE?

Well...



Yeah.

You may not be able to see that well because my camera set up is not good but that right there is an N64, a Gamecube, a SEGA freakin' Mega Drive, all with multiple controllers and a bunch of cool games. And she even gave me that copy of Shadow of the Colossus I've been after for the last few weeks.

Best. Unexpected. Gift. Ever.

Thank you, you know who you are!

Where can you find pleasure
Search the world for treasure
Learn science technology
Where can you begin to make your dreams all come true
On the land or on the sea
Where can you learn to fly
Play in sports and skin dive
Study oceanography
Sign of for the big band
Or sit in the grandstand
When your team and others meet


In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)


They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit


If you like adventure
Don't you wait to enter
The recruiting office fast
Don't you hesitate
There is no need to wait
They're signing up new seamen fast
Maybe you are too young
To join up today
Bout don't you worry 'bout a thing
For I'm sure there will be
Always a good navy
Protecting the land and sea


In the navy
Yes, you can sail the seven seas
In the navy
Yes, you can put your mind at ease
In the navy
Come on now, people, make a stand
In the navy, in the navy
Can't you see we need a hand
In the navy
Come on, protect the motherland
In the navy
Come on and join your fellow man
In the navy
Come on people, and make a stand
In the navy, in the navy, in the navy (in the navy)


They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit


Who me?


They want you, they want you
They want you as a new recruit


But, but but I'm afraid of water.
Hey, hey look
Man, I get seasick even watchin' it on TV!


They want you, they want you in the navy


Oh my goodness.
What am I gonna do in a submarine?


They want you, they want you in the navy

Not sure what happened during the formatting of this c-blog, sorry about that. I'll fix it when I'm less excited.

Games overall range from super-cool (Sonic 2 + Aladdin etc. on Mega Drive) to miscellaneous to probably not that good but that's not the point, I'm sure I can get hold of the games I want, esp. for Gamecube.
