Did a little thrifting today and got this pile for under $30...





At the same time, the mail arrives with...



And after the thrift store, I stop by local GameStop to see if my pre-order arrived.  As I'm walking in, the UPS guy shows up with a delivery.  The employee checked the incoming shipment, and with my impeccable timing, the UPS guy just delivered it!

Thanks!  Of course, now that I've decided to go CIB, now I still have 40 or so boxes to find. (and only 1 more manual - LOHT)

Work had me driving through Minnesota and I passed a video game shop in some strip mall.  I stopped and looked around and found the japanese version of PSP of Ultimate Ghouls and Ghosts factory sealed for 29.99.  i liked the cover art so much I bought it.  Still have not opened it as I have the North American release of the game, but there looks to be something floating around inside the case.......




Can anyone translate what this sticker says?

Im not sure what it translates to, but im pretty sure its stating there is a D-pad attachment that is included. Basically it attaches to the analog stick and looks like a D-pad on something like a SNES controller. I think thats what that sticker means, i could be wrong

What game is that? I sorta recognize the characters but not really.

'Tis Chip Can Kick.

[Yamazaki]

I wished it had some 18+ content like Tokimeki or other games

[Necromancer]

That's one I'd like to have, but not at the price it usually fetches.  How cheap did ya snag it for?

April 18th chall forever be known in my house as "Dia de Los Neo Geos." 

Received 3 packages yesterday, all of which I've been anxiously anticipating.



Package 1: CMVS (w/ power supply and RGB cable) from Xian Xi.  Unibios 3.1, stereo mod, battery mod.  Got a nice deal on it because I didn't need a video encoder board since I only play on a PVM. 

Package 2: 2 Neo controllers from a buddy of mine.  Traded him for some custom Xbox controllers that I made a while back.

Package 3: This is the one that I was really worried about.  I broke one of the cardinal rules of Craigslist.  I did a non-local deal.  Found a guy down in LA selling some MVS games, one of which was NTM (my most wanted game).  So I figured I'd e-mail the guy and feel him out.  Anyway, the deal went smoothly and I got my games.  NTM looks practically brand new, and more importantly isn't a boot.




The AES stick already got SANWA'ED!  New buttons (obviously) and a new ball top.  HUGE improvement.  Eventually I want an AI stick, but this stick is great for now.

Very nice find.

Personally have went the long distance CL route a few times and so far so good.
