Good review link Lee.  I'm still going to grab any non-sports N64 games I come across that are less than $5.

 

Yeah, I like Projared's work. He doesn't have an enormous amount of review videos, but those he does generally appear to be well researched, largely unbiased, and free from sensationalistic melodramatics. A clear example of quality over quantity.

You know the story behind that "BEEE-SEVUNTEEEN BAWMER," right?

According to the Intellivision Lives website, the script called for a "Southern accent, laid back, slow drawl even under fire, talks like sittin' in a cotton field on a sunny day watchin' the bees buzz."

Here's a pretty good review of it:

 

[Thrift Store Finds]

From what I recall, Quest 64 was the *very first* RPG on the N64, and it shows. Various reviews I've seen of it make note of the fact that the plot is extremely repetitive, even moreso than most RPGs. You go to a town, defeat a monster, go to another town, defeat another monster, rinse and repeat. The magic system is also apparently quite flawed, as it is nearly impossible to learn all the various spells without focusing all your points to level up, say, earth spells. By the time you want to level up different spells, like fire, or water, it next to impossible because all your points have been nearly used up.

Man, I've heard Quest 64 is a rather... Repetitive and uninspired RPG.

Man, thrift stores here NEVER have Atari.

Link's Awakening is one of my favorite Zelda games, great pickup!

Yeah, I already have the GBC version, Link's Awakening DX, on the Virtual Console, but I've been wanting to get the actual physical releases of the various Zelda games. Their prices seem to be getting a bit steep for the original carts, though, so when I saw that one for the fairly reasonable price of $11, I decided I should definitely get it.

I'm jealous for that Intellivoice.

I need boxes like that. Really nice, indeed.

I bet you could identify that episode based on Spock's position alone.

[A piece of my childhood about to be removed from the planet...]

The mall where I live, Pecanland Mall, has changed so much from when I was a kid. Thankfully, it seems to still be thriving, and a couple years ago it had a big celebration for it's 30th anniversary of operation, which is kind of impressive. Back in the '90s, though, the place was really hopping. Two candy stores (TWO!!), a Waldenbooks, a Radio Shack, a Taco Bandito (a local variant of Taco Bell, though it became a Taco Bell later on), a Tilt arcade... We had a DISNEY STORE. Thankfully, the ten-screen Cinema 10 is still going strong. I frequently watch movies there. Lots of memories there. I'm happy it is not dying, even with the many changes over the years, because I still enjoy visiting it. Here's to 30 more years.

I also forgot to mention that the first Model 1 systems to hit the market (the ones with the expansion port present) seem to have a more static-free sound than the model 1 systems without the port.  That much I have noticed.

 

Oh, awesome, mine has the expansion port. I had no idea it has superior sound quality.

That's a beautiful Wii U.

I have that exact controller, and it does work great. I would like an original controller, though, because I like purple.

Actually, as a follow up post, my Game Boy/GBA game collection is starting to get to be too many for my GBA case to hold. Anybody got some suggestions of a way to store the games neatly with no fuss?

[Thrift Store Finds]

My recent acquisitions. None of them were really thrift store finds. Oh well.

 

Link's Awakening was a Facebook find for all of $11.

Advance Guardian Heroes was another Facebook find.

Dragon Quest V was from Gamestop.

Super Scribblenauts was a Wal Mart purchase.

Really, the only modern console I want is a Switch. (And a Vita.) Anything else? Naaahhh... The XBox whatever-the-heck-it-is has no interest for me. Neither does the new PS4 on Steroids.
