Got the the snes games for my birthday, and picked up collectors edition majoras mask. had to pay fmv on it but what can you do.

[Jeff]

I bought a DS Phat and a capture board for it. You can buy these pre-installed, but what's the fun in that?

Capture board? As in screen recording? How does it handle the fact that the DS has 2 screens- 1 tall video, 2 separate video files?

[Jeff]

Well, the board creator created a program that lets you view each screen in it's own window, or one tall window.

As you can see the quality is flawless, like an emulator but without glitches or performance hiccups.
That program will record one tall video file (or just one screen if you want), but you can use a screen capture program to record the preview windows and position them as you want.

i have a DS Phat around here somewhere i might hunt down a capture board just because

How much was the capture board, I might need one soon for Power Plaid Plays.
Anyway, here are pictures of Figures I bought recently.

Got my Figure Arts Mario in, I just ordered another Set A (Blocks) and a Samus Figma as well.
I love it, but his legs are a bit weird.

Also completed my Mario Kart 64 figure line, I'm missing a few parts, but I got most of it.

Also got my Yearbook and found a Verizon Galaxy S4 in the road. Not sure how I should return it, IDK who's it is.

A DIY kit is $53.
I bought it here.
I wish I was made of money, then I could've gotten a 3DS board. but for me that's too expensive for just youtube videos.

Went to my local thrift store today, And It just happened to be a bag sale (Fill a bag with anything in the store and its $5 with some exceptions).

Usually games are behind a glass case and they are not part of the deal, I found this box of Xbox games for $2 a piece that wasn't behind the case. As I was looking through them I grabbed 4 of them which I would gladly pay $2 for. A lady walks by and tells me they count in the bag sale since they are not in the glass case. So I grabbed all of them for $5. Most are garbage and probably only good for the cases, but 4 are pretty good titles.

I'll vouch for Call of Cthulhu belonging in your keep pile - that IS why those 4 games are in a different picture than the rest, right?

[Megatron]

Battlefront 2 (if it's complete) is worth over $40 by itself.  Nice find!

[ShaggyB]

^^Target has a $15 dollar off deal for preordering a game for $1 that was only supposed to apply to $39.99 and up games but is applying to all games. So what people have been doing is price matching Call of Duty Ghosts and Assassins Creed 4 with Amazon's price of $20 then taking the $14 off from the promo as well as using a 20% off coupon with use of the Cartwheel app from Target.

AHHH. Amazon had the deal. Gotcha. I couldnt find any big box that had the $20 deal advertised. Had I known I would have tried it, the trade in would make it worth it.
