Oh god, I wanna go!

Very nice trades, man! I've been needing Basic Math for a long time, but it seems to be very hard to find in my area. Go figure.

The original classic Wonka Bar. Good Lord, that is still one of the best chocolate bars I've ever tasted, and I'm still super unhappy that Nestle decided to completely discontinue it a few years ago.

Oh my god I want one soooooooooo bad.

Oh my gosh, I have that same Breakout game around here somewhere.

For those curious, the three yellow items on the left are three pieces from a video game cleaning kit that was released in the late '80s. The pieces are, top to bottom, an NES pin cleaner, a cartridge cleaner, and an SNES/Genesis pin cleaner. Looking online, the full kit also included more pin cleaners in differing sizes for the Atari 2600, Sega Master System, and even the Turbografx 16, and a bottle of an isopropyl alcohol based cleaning solution. Testing the SNES/Genesis pin cleaner on my Genesis proved it to work amazingly well. Turns out my Genesis had more grime on its pins than I expected. Sadly, it is too wide to fit inside my 2600, but it DOES fit in my Intellivision. Unfortunately, the NES pin cleaner broke when I attempted to try it out.

Decided to celebrate my birthday early yesterday, and went antiquing. Found these at a new store. There was also a top-loading NES that I REALLY wanted to buy, but they were asking $130!! Anyway, I now have 4 N64 games, but no N64 as of yet.

Day two of my garage sale odyssey: Sadly, three games I had hoped to purchase today were gone when I got back. Metroid Prime, Skyward Sword, and an intriguing Inuyasha RPG for the PS2. The Pitfall II and Saturn game were still available, though. As well as EyeToy Play for the PS2, and the blue Wiimote.

They weren't only still boxed... They were still sealed in their plastic. I, uh... Couldn't resist opening them... But that Hobbit game looked too fun NOT to open. On another note, depending on how much cash I have left tomorrow, I may be getting another GameCube game, maybe a PS2 game... But I'm DEFINITELY getting the Saturn game and the Pitfall 2 cart.

Went garage saling today. Huge "25-mile" Garage Sale going on today and tomorrow. Here are two of my finds. Going back tomorrow to pick up two more items: Pitfall 2, and a Sega Saturn game.

Wow... I thought my PS2 for $30 was a steal. You sir are amazing.

Animal Crossing: New Leaf (3DS) Crosswords Plus (3DS) Super Smash Bros. for 3DS (3DS)

It makes some sense, actually. In Brazil, both the Master System and Mega Drive were hugely popular, much bigger than Nintendo ever was in that region. Indeed, the Master System was so popular that it was still being made by Tec Toy for the Brazillian market for over a decade after it had been discontinued in the US and Europe.

Exocet (2600)

One of the few reasons to own a 32X, so I've heard... If not the ONLY reason. (There's a reason the 32X is not on my want list...)

I applaud Nintendo for not going the way of Sony and Microsoft. Is the Switch not quite what I hoped for? Sure. However, there is one big factor about it that I like: The Switch is boldly daring. It's nothing like the cookie-cutter Xbox, and if Nintendo can leverage that fact to their advantage, they might have something awesome here.

Super Smash Bros. Melee (Gamecube)

As a further update, one of the GI Joe toys I've got here is a hovercraft. I have no desire to keep it, so I'll either sell it on Ebay or sell it off here.

What is a multi-touchscreen? EDIT: Oh wait, nevermind, I understand. A screen like a smartphone.

Actually, I meant with regards to actually apologizing in the first place. Most folks don't even bother. Strange all around.

This just gets curiouser and curiouser.

Genesis. It may not have been the first console Sega released (more like the third...), but it was the first to make a real mark in America, a true "Beginning" or Genesis, for Sega's best years.
