So the other day my dad called and said that my mom picked up something for me and was going to drop it off but didn't mention what it was. I was at work at the time, so he dropped it off with my wife. She texted me and told me that it was definitely something for me. I get home and I see this sitting on the couch.



That's a DS game next to it as a size comparison. Apparently my mom found it at a garage sale and just had to get it for me. This thing is awesome.

ShoothimNow, why not sell off the extra crap? seems like a WHOLE LOT of space wasted for nothing. Don't get me wrong, we have 2 nes, 2snes and 2 360s in my house....but they are different models for each. 
Get rid of some of them N64 controllers.  (Im kinda sad you don't have a gold one with all the ones you do have)

There are quite a few things that interest me.

Can't wait for more detailed list.

My wife and I went thrift shopping today. Nothing too great except this wall mount plus shelves! It was $40, brand new in a box. Now the TV and equipment is up on the wall instead of on a big entertainment center taking up a lot of our little space. Sadly, I have to remove the VCR, GCN, and N64 because it all up there is way too cramped and I don't think it gives everything proper airflow, so that will go into a different room for the time being. Another perk: No more dog walking in front of the TV blocking the view.

That's pretty awesome. It's a shame that wall mounts are rather useless in my room seeing as my ceiling is at a 45 degree angle. ;)

Air flow for those is not that big deal, as they don't get that hot.

VCR maybe, but probabaly not

That is pretty cool. I want to get some of the wall mounted shelves but don't think the area i want them up in will support them....hollow walls.
 I am having air flow issues right now though. 2nd time I fixed my XBOX 360 from RROD.  way too humid 2 days ago in my little mobile home for my xbox to be in the spot it's in.  Looks like its time for me to find some cd/dvd binders to free up room. (1000+ DVDs)

Stopped at the Salvation Army the other day to find a bunch of SNES games for $3 a peice. Grabbed 8 games for $24 (Gradius 3, Contra 3, Super Castlevania, Zombies Ate My Neighbours, Donkey Kong Country, X-Men Mutant Apocalypse, Super Ghouls N Ghosts, Power Rangers). I already have all of those so I didnt keep any of them but I did sell them to a friend for $55 so I made $20 just for finding them. "Cause Im a hustla baby!"  ;)

Update to the wall mount + shelves. I bought them for $40 and sold the entertainment center the stuff was sitting on for $45. Profit!
