Also, I finally broke down and became a minivan owner.  I never thought I would, but the truth is that there is nothing else on the market that is as convenient or spacious.  It also has a TV screen with A/V inputs.  That will make it easier to test game consoles on the road.  Plus I still have my truck, so I haven't completely given up my man card.  ;)





My fiancé and I agreed to never own a minivan. Lol. They are the ONLY vehicles I've ever ridden in that give me motion sickness.

My first car was a minivan hand me down from my mom...say what you will, but at 17, you get real popuilar real quick when you can fit 7 comfortably as well as a mattress if you take the seats out.  ;)

Also, my wife and I agreed the same thing...but when babies come, all "plans" go out the window. 
This video pretty much sums up my last 10 years...

I was a little different, when I was 16 I bought a 71 Monte Carlo and got it in good running shape in a few weeks. I still have it too thank god, (just doesn't run anymore, lol) But we have 2 nicer 4 door cars that will work just the same if kids ever happen. Which neither of us really want anyway.

I grew up saying I would never own a minivan, but at then end of the day, we need to have something that can haul at least 7 people and crossovers are just to impractical.  They cost about $10k more for similar options, and they have less interior space and less comfort.  If you can get around the negative vibe of the minivan, there is really no other downside.   :)
Maybe, just once, someone will call me "sir" without adding, "you're making a scene."

I like the van. Looks roomy and practical. The boy band games jeopardized your man card more this ever could.

Haven't really posted much in the last few months (outside of making a few purchases), so it's time to catch things up.

Non Gaming Related:
Best thing obtained: The amount of support I have behind me after recently coming out as transgender (been on HRT since December 26th, 2014).
Also obtained: 23 new windows on my house, new gaming/server setup (I'm aware I need to sweep/vacuum and get a new floor)

^^ Clickable links for windows as setup ^^

Purchased a bit from Quazimoto and Megatron, and found some stuff at local Goodwill stores.

Oh I'm not saying anything bad about you having a minivan by any means. If you're happy that's all that matter.
I just know "I" won't ever have one. I don't like them. I've never needed one before. Won't ever need one. Just sayin. Lol.

I've always been interested in the effects of hormones on the body. I like to study the effects of testosterone and steroids on athletes and bodybuilders.

Last month I was talking to a ftm and they were really friendly and open about their transition. They were telling me about how they were prescribed pure testosterone and all the guys they knew wanted to take it because it was so powerful. I mentioned that personally, I would never take testosterone myself because I worried about losing the gains made after taking it if I ever stopped and they claimed that this testosterone that they were prescribed was special because it was not synthetic and would actually boost a male's T levels even after they stopped taking it. This is contrary to what I've heard and read, but it was interesting to talk to them about it.

The ftm even mentioned some of the changes they went through and how much stronger they were as well as other changes their body went through. I remember a few years ago Sylvester Stallone had like $25k worth of testosterone confiscated from him in Australia. He's almost 70 and looks incredible. Anyways, sorry to ramble. Nice pickups!

The affects are pretty astounding. For one, I went from being bald to having a fair amount of hair come back. Not enough yet, but making decent progress in only 5 months estrogen + blockers.

Had this in February:

So as to not clutter the boards, feel free to PM me with any questions. I'll try to answer them all. That goes to everyone who's curious. :)

So..I really have to stop going to flea markets and goodwill...I guess because it's spring cleaning or something but I always seem to find something...this pick up comes from English town flea market, lady had an odyssey with loose and boxed games and also had this

 

Just like the snes, it's not something I was actively searching for but for the price i dont think I'd find another similar deal for a while, if at all. 

Also, Not my pickup but while talking to the same seller...she told me she heard some kid picked up Earthbound off another seller for $2 last saturday.  Immediately the kid was approached with an offer to buy it off him for 150 but the kid declined.  (I say kid but I don't really know how old he is lol)

so whoever it was...if it's true and if you're on here, lucky you lol

Think about this for a second though, if he ever runs into an arcade machine or rare kisok for sale on the road now he can take it home!  ;D Also, is it bad that I immediately though 'I wonder how many games could fit into that van...' :)
To be this good it takes AGES!
