March 2014 stuff for the 5th best month of the year

[MaSHoe]

It is the logo for the Survey Corps from Attack on Titan.

Shows how much I know the source material!

Pretty good show, the English dub will be coming soon as well. The one thing that is holding me back from signing up for Loot Crate is that there are far too many shows or games that I have no interest, so I would be in fear of the day I receive a bunch of Dr. Who or Superman crap at my doorstep. 

Pickups for this month so far



My most anticipated game of the entire year, sadly I haven't had much time to play it yet. Also some Dark Souls shirts of Solaire and Sif.

And MGSV: Ground Zeros, House of the Dead 2 & 3 Return, and Halo Wars

So I am really spoiled and have 3 awesome thrift stores around me, so I basically get stuff every week.  This is a lot of weeks worth of stuff that I haven't gotten around to casing and/or shelving yet.




Lot of GB/GG/GBA games, $1 each from Thrift Store

Beauty & the Beast Board Game
Lion King
The Grinch
Spot
Solar Striker
Casino Fun Pack
Sonic Advance
Scooby Doo Mystery Mayhem



NES games from local game store:
Tale Spin - $6
Darkwing Duck - $20
Rockin' Kats - $20



2 GBA SP, Blue DS Lite, Black DSi.  All have some scratches, wear, but play fine.  All came with chargers - from local thrift
Silver GBA SP - $4
Black GBA SP - $5
Blue DS lite - $5
Black DSi - $7



Complete Gamecube and N64.  $15 each, came with all cables and 2 controllers each.  N64 came with expansion pack - from local Thrift



Godwill had a 50% off electronics sale
PS1 controller - $3.50
Wii Motion Plus - $1.50
Wii U Pro 3rd Party new in box - $8



Gamecube wheel - $5 from game store



Shoot out 97 - new and sealed - $1 from thrift
Splinter Cell 3 - $3, manual is pretty worn, from thrift


 
Metro Last light - $8.99 from Gamefly
Lost Planet 3 - $3.99 from Gamefly (had $5 coupon)
Deadly Premonition Director's Cut - $20 from Walmart, and a GREAT game if you 're into so bad it;s good territory.  Xbox 360 version is probably a little better, though




From local game store,
Tomb Raider - $25 used
MGS V Ground 0s - $22 used (I coun't justify a full price, new purchase of this.  Didn't want Konami to get the money for such a short, short demo)



Finally, the Everdrive N8 - $125 from Retrogate.  I love collecting my NES games, but this way I can play some of those hacks and homebrews BEFORE I shell out $30 or $40 each.

I'm not super happy that it's a digital copy, but considering that I wouldn't have purchased it otherwise, that's OK with me

Lucky.  I have over a dozen within 5 miles but Seattle is tough to get good stuff.  They put a lot of games that are non sports on there websites for sale or people bring them to the shit load of independent game stores around here.

[Megatron]

Yeah, I live in a suburb of DC, and one of the richest counties in the country is right next door.  My guess is that they just donate stuff when their kids go to college, since most of it is pretty old.  That said, the store is idiotic with their pricing.  They judge all games the same based on system.  Which definitely works for me.  Madden 04 on PS2?  $6 because it's a PS2 game.  Mega Man Legends 2 on PS1 or Paper Mario on N64?  $1 because they're old and no one will want it.  There's at least one other person on here who goes there, as we have seen each others posts and commented.

I figured with how many tech company's are in Seattle area that there would be a lot at thrift store.  Then again if there techies then they sell online since they know more about them.

More Mario stuff, just won this for $19


1989 "12 Mario plush. I think it looks cool, it has Mario's early US look.
It's missing the hat, I'm going ot sew a new one based on images of it. The one it came with does not fit very well anyway.

I don't know how you guys get those awesome finds at thrift stores. Around where I live here I went hunting for games at thrift stores almost everyday for two months and found nothing good. Thrift stores here are overpriced and have a terrible selection most of the time.

I think I'm about 3/4 through by now. Haven't played in a couple days so maybe Ill jump on it today. BTW, where did you get those T-Shirts?

[larryinc64]

One last bit of Retro Mario crap.

$10, it was $11 but I was short in my Paypal balance by $1 and submitted an offer.
2 McDonald Mario 3 toys and 2 Applause small Mario figures.

TheYetee.com for the t-shirts, unfortunately all their t-shirts are one day offerings and these designs were only offered on release day of Dark Souls 2. I would check this website dayoftheshirt.com, it tracks a bunch of websites that offer one day only t-shirts chances are the Dark Souls designs I got will be offered again on another site.

I have only played for about 3 hours sadly, I started the game by going the wrong way, Heide's Tower of Flame, but  I didn't have any issue taking out the two bosses there but it just took a very long time. Now I believe I am on the "right" path, just need to find a weapon I am comfortable with and get used to the parry timing again.

EDIT: Messed up on the website link.

Ah, well it sounds like I missed out. Sweet T's man. Gotta rock those while your playing.

Yeah, Dark Souls II certainly gives the players a little more freedom as to where they want to explore next. I ran through several areas that should have been tackled later on, without too much trouble. Some of them were actually much easier than some of the areas that were open to me earlier in the game. They definitely made some changes to the way things work now, but it doesn't take too long to pick up. And because of these changes, I feel like in 10 years from now Dark Souls I will stand strong on its own and not be just an out dated version of Dark Souls II.
