It’s not often you see these in the wild, especially the 1st party SNES power adaptor. Great price, great find. The thrift stores have been relatively fruitless as of late, so this was a breath of fresh air. It’s been a slow week, I know, but in the last 4 days it was my 30th (yikes!) birthday [...]

Sorry things have been so slow around here the last few weeks. The area in which I live had record snow fall this past winter, and record rainfall this spring. It all boils down to this being the wettest summer in 40 years. Entire towns around here are under 5 or 6 feet of water, [...]

This is what me and a couple friends are doing this weekend. I have already done some preliminary grinding. I am up to level 5, and just about to decimate the first boss. After that I get the girl into the party (the second playable character after the hero) and the multiplayer co-op radness will [...]
