Or as he calls it ....migraine machine

I really didn't like Kay-Bee toys, but let me explain why:

When I was younger, we had a WONDERFUL toy store called Toys By Roy.  (It was a Southern Mall small franchise thing)   It was a beautiful, old school toy store.  Glass display cases up front a'la the Christmas Story with elaborate displays.   Glass cases inside as well with amazing die cast toy cars, modeling gear, model rockets, Dungeons & Dragons stuff, and all the electronic games, gizmos, and video games.    As a kid, THAT was the toy store...and Kay-Bee bought them out.   Kay-Bee wasn't really bad, it was just more modern commercialization that reminded me of a smaller Toys R Us.  They had more kids toys for sure, but it wasn't as magical ever again.   Gone forever was that type of toy store.

This is the only image I can find of Toys By Roy:
Look at that guy.  He had the best job in the world.

I'll bite tomorrow!  Pics coming.

My boxed games for now.   


I really need to get some form of organizing done.

Also, I'm apparently flush with CIB Utopia games.  Anyone need a copy?

I do actually.  I have the cart.

Loosey Goosey games....
And the INTV III nestled in its loving cover.

I have my INTV II with Intellivoice and System Changer packed away at the moment. 

Night stalker is fantastic.

Greenween, we need to get you a copy of Deadly Discs!

I can't count the number of times I've shown up to a garage sale and asked about video game stuff only to hear, "Someone just left here and bought all we had...."

The worst was coming into MY Goodwill and seeing an old dude in a suit with a pile of REALLY nice SNES titles on the counter being rung up as he looks at what they sell for on eBay.   There were probably a dozen titles, all of them very nice!    Easy come, easy go.

Not familiar with the book, to be honest.  

Having said that, the trailer looked interesting but VERY busy.  I'm not sure what was going on, but it looked pretty.   Spielberg doesn't generally do bad stuff though, so I'm sure I'll eventually watch this even if its a Netflix viewing.

There was a TON of trailers this weekend.   Some were great, and some looked silly.   (I'm looking at you, Thor.)

This game is by no means new, and it does have micro-transactions.   That being said, you can enjoy a pretty balanced system for something that's free 2 play.   There ARE premium tanks, but they aren't the best tanks in the game.  They are just, well...easy to get and pretty good. 

Anyway, I love World War II games.  I like them from the grand strategy board game or PC game, down to the first person shooter or RPG.   If you've ever wanted to jump in countless different WWII vehicles (many of them prototypes) and beat up other people who love doing the same...this game is a blast.

It is PvP, but it is 15v15 pvp, so you do have a team and sometimes they even work together!  

I suck at it, but would be honored to be in a platoon (a group that does battles together) with anyone from Atari.IO anytime!

Okay time to catch up on trades!   First off, Thanks jmjustin for 2 great trades that netted me this:
StormSurge was nice enough to trade me some great NES titles:
And lastly, but not leastly....I got from RickR a PS2....but it came packed special!!

I'm almost positive that Joe paid Albert to make the 20 copies he had, so I'm sure it's possible to make another batch if there was enough interest. 

And last but not least, I got a new computer!   Oh yeah, I can't wait to fire this thing up (once I get some games)!


Thanks RickR!

My favorite comic as a kid was Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes, and later  just Legion of Superheroes. 

I could gush on and on about that, but nobody knows much about it.

PS3 Controllers aint cheap!  Nice trash haul

If you do play the PS3 pick up the batman arkham series games, they are great! Ive been playing them for the past month now

Thank you Sir! It has literally been a desert the last couple weeks, hoping this is due to people being out and enjoying the heat! Look forward to sharing more nice discoveries in future. Fingers Crossed ! Myself I have never owned a PS3, they were soooo expensive when they debuted but given the option now I would probably grab one now before a PS4 lol. I Friggin LOVED the PS2 system and library and to me ot was such an advancement in video game tech. 

Your "recycle bin walk" videos are the best. 

AWESOME RICK! Hahaha well I will check our electronics recycling bin daily no shame but I would be stunned to make such a find! CONGRATS ! It is karma I am sure. 

That's what I thought.  Thanks.  We have a PS3, but I can't say I've ever played it.  Once the kids are gone, maybe I will give it a try.
