I got a bunch of Atari manuals for free at a pawn shop yesterday. If anyone needs any of these scanned, just let me know.

[Dan-Fu]

I could really use that Star Master manual.

I used to have that stick. It's nice. I think it was manufactured by Ascii?  They used to make some really nice stuff the NES and SNES either way.

I actually got the Genesis one recently too, off ebay though instead of the wild.



They are one of the best sticks you can get for the SNES and Genesis.  The SNES one originally came with a cable for the NES too but mine was missing it when I bought it.  The stick is an actual sanwa arcade stick in both but the buttons are not mechanical but not bad either.  Really, if you are looking for a stick for either the SNES or Genesis, look for these.

Maybe eventually, but I am not getting around to ALL of them anytime soon.

I could really use that Star Master manual. 

I have the manual and the basic instructions. You want the basic instructions with the graphic on the front, correct?

Craigslist ad I picked up today:

Toy Story 2 (complete)
WWF Royal Rumble (complete)
WWF Attitude (disc only)
NFL 2k (disc only)

All for $5.

I'm going for a full DC collection, so I crossed two games (the complete ones) off my list. I guess Toy Story 2 goes for about $9-10 on ebay now it seems so I feel like I got a good deal.

Man, you guys were busy today!  Nice!

[Dan-Fu]

They got lucky compared to what I found. A boatload of complete junk that filled up their yard, driveway, backyard, shed, house, sidewalk and part of the street. There was nothing except paint chipped santa dolls, pieces of twine, and a stuffed chipmunk! That was sure a find! Especially sense it's the first day in Canby, OR that's been past 90 degrees!

I tested out my projector, farkin awesome, and I looked it up. Its capable of 1080p through component...for a true theatrical experience for my Blu-rays.

Got a few ebay deals lately, kinda shocked. Been wanting the Darth Malgus statue from SWTOR CE for a while now (mind you, I only collect statues etc from video game releases, like collectors edition contents or related, dont just go buy star wars stuff lol) Been seeing them anywhere between the 40-80$ range.

Ended up finding it listed weird but for 10$ and 3$ shipping, got it in mail, was still sealed in its box

Also, did "make offer" on a Dragon Quest slime controller someone had listed for 30$, offered them 10, they came back with 20, ended up setting at 15.

Not bad, not bad at all

The Bourne Sanction; Robert Ludlum
The Bourne Deception; Robert Ludlum

The later "Bourne" books are actually written by Eric van Lustbader; Ludlum's name is just used for marketing purposes.
