July 2015 - Stuff bought by those who survived Juhannus

The wording makes it sound like it was a.... surprise

 Ya. We already have a dog I didn't want and don't like. At least the cat is quiet, leaves me alone, and doesn't freak out if we leave it home for a few hours.

Cats are often the perfect pets for people who don't want pets. Especially if it's an outside cat. My girlfriends cat is basically a stray I see hanging around the front yard occasionally.

After two years of searching, I finally found something video game related at a garage sale.  It almost didn't matter what it was I was going to buy it.  Got everything for $10 though.  Monster Rancher 2 is worth more than that.

I love dogs and hate cats. I couldn't live without having a dog. You only get out of them what you put into them and my dogs are very obedient most of the time.

So is Legend of Dragoon if it's in good shape and complete.

I started to build up my Sega Saturn collection a little, I got complete copies of Sonic R ($40), Sonic 3D Blast and Myst ($30 for both) off eBay. I also finaly got my Sonic CD in the other day, good shape, scratched case but not cracked.

I'm on the fence if whether I want to have a disc only or complete Saturn/ Sega CD/ PS1/ Dreamcast/ 3DO era games. The games are so much cheaper without the stupid fragile cases. I so far have all in case for Saturn, minus Dragonforce.

I also wanted the Sonic games for a video I'm working on, a review of Sonic R with a twist.    I need a copy of Sonic Jam, anyone know where I can get a reasonably priced copy?

I went shopping on eBay for some SFC games. Stoked on the haul.

I preorderd Series 3 of the World of Nintendo figures from Toy Wiz. Even though TW jacks up the price on more popular characters (Fox was $30) came to $15 per figure, including shipping so it worked out. I did the same thing with Wave 2.

I was talking with a eBay seller who was scalping a Fox for a posable trade, but it went nowhere, the guy wanted 2 rares for it, and at $14 per amiibo + shipping, it would have been around $35, and I could just pay another scalper that and save the trouble.

I also am going to order a new media shelf soon, I think I FINALLY found a good one and not the cheep particle board Atlantic garbage, it says its wood and reviews say its sturdy.


I also got the Guardians Of the Galaxy soundtrack on iTunes, and Mario DDR for $3 at goodwill.

OK I JUST WANT A GOD DAM SHELF!

I was looking around and the Leslie Dame Enterprises 64” Multimedia Wall Rack seems perfect for my needs, why does every website that sells it have 1-2 stars on Yelp or whatever?

bellacor.com has it cheapest, buy $60 but the reviews are really bad.

wayfair.com, shop.com, cymax.xom all have it but they apparently suck.

What the hell is with all this marketplace shit on Sears, Best buy and Walmart. If I'm on that site, I WANT TO BUY FROM THE SITE.

I highly suggest trying to find someone local to you that would actually build you a shelf to how you want it. It would prolly be cheaper that way anyway. I just bought some boards to fix my bed and it only cost me $7 and some time. Plus that would be pretty sturdy and you know it's made from real wood instead of fiberboard.
