teh "what did you buy today"-thread

[esteban]

My job here is complete...

The funny part is the stuff came in an old box, "Bob's Turbo Graphics"

I wonder if "Zach" is like the Dell guy, who got busted with drugs after his commercials.... can we find that guy and see what he is up to?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Curtis_%28actor%29

Yes, that is a link to Ben Curtis's Wikipedia page, whom we know has an addiction problem.  However, the young man in question is the guy on the Turbo Grafx box.  I would like to know his name, his whereabouts and what he is wearing. 

Link was posted to give more insight into the Dell guy himself. A lot of people actually don't remember him or have any idea who that clown was, so your brief mentioning of him may hold no meaning for some. Same as if out of no where I made a comparison to the Rallys cha ching guy. A lot of people don't remember him, and most seem to not realize it was Seth Green. As for your Turbografx kid, odds are no one will ever know who he is. Its not worth pondering over.

Um, have you seen some of the pointless, dumb, and not worth pondering over moments, mostly posted by me?  I want to know what he knows, and see what he has seen.  I am sure we can figure this one out...

I'm with alexsduo, I would love to know WHERE the dude from the TG-16 box is, WHAT he's doing now, and IF HE EVEN KNOWS THAT WE LOVE HIM.

There aren't too many communities that openly embrace the male model(s) featured on packaging of consumer electronics.

We are such a community.

And I'm serious about wanting Joe to make a mini-documentary "Where is he know" video.

Wait so is his name officially Zach now? Because I think it really suits him.

Here is some of my VGS haul plus things I didn't post due to a missing camera...


My newly FM modded Sega Master System. Thanks to Jeff Lewis my little SMS is rockin to teh FM!


Here is the business side. Playing in S-Video is the only way to go with early SEGA consoles


Picked the loose Soldier Blade up at a retro gaming store in downtown Chicago.
The Star Ocean is a repro with English patch. From RetroUSB.
Picked that complete Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts up at the show along with Bonk (GB) for $15. The SGnG looks unused!

And the main event...


This is a first generation X68000 from BlueBMW. She may be old but she can still sing her heart out. There is nothing quite like FM synth.
As an added bonus I received a complete minty Phalanx for the X68k. Thanks again, Beems!

Hell, guys... As far as anyone knows, that could have been just a random pic of some guy that the box designers found and thought "looked" the part. He may have no real connection with the system or NEC.

His name has to be Zach.

This is precisely the sort of information I want to clarify. For real.

I dont know what he paid, but it was at People Play Games near downtown.  They did have a boxed soldier blade there too.

[Mathius]

I paid $70 for the SB. They wanted almost $400 for the boxed copy. No thanks. They can keep it for that price.

[storino03]

Wow, yikes. I'd say.

Nice modded Master System! P.s. screw s-video, they natively output RGB!

RGB isn't an option for me. Plus, s-vid is just fine for me at the moment. It's still beautiful!
