The “What-Did-You-Buy-Today?” Thread

I decided to go for the $25 version instead of the $100 version since there is absolutely no difference other than the inferior packaging on the more expensive version.

Very nice.

Quote from: Joe Redifer on 07/19/2008, 06:53 PMI bought two McDonald's double cheeseburgers (new/sealed/mint, though pickles and onions were not included) and some chicken McNuggets (complete) along with a hot fudge sundea (used but in excellent condition) and a small Diet Coke® (mint/complete). Well worth the purchase!!

Sounds like your two double cheeseburger transaction was more satisfying than the one I posted.

Tried the Burrito Taco Salad from Hardees. Wasn't all that good....

Oh, last week I bought a 2006, Chevy Uplander! Perfect for the trip to MGC next year, so I'll have plenty of room to haul my gaming collection....wait........

Joe Redifer · 07/22/2008, 12:35 AM

Was it mint/complete?

I heard that you had to sell your entire game collection from reading the shoutbox a little while back. Was it because your children were a great threat to it, or was your wife unable to have room or stand for it anymore? Either way, I'm sorry that you had to dispatch the lot of it (I'll definitely try to take great care of the three games CrackTiger was able to buy from you now)

.

I bought three pairs of shorts jeans from going to Mervyn's today. They're all capri-style, very much, and I had some difficulty purchasing the right size since I didn't know of the one I was (I turned out to fit well in a size 6, as opposed to 8-10 like I had originally though). I needed them for my vacation to New Jersey, which I will be leaving for next Tuesday.

A mobile phone -- a cheapo LG KG290.

I've been cellphone-less for the past 2 years, & been fine without it, but I'm now in a situation where I definitely need one, so I made the plunge.

NTSC-J Wildgunmen zapper pendants

Keranu · 07/22/2008, 10:42 PM

Ahh, they just don't make light guns like they used to.

SNKNostalgia · 07/22/2008, 10:57 PM

NES:

Faxandu
Duck Tales
Xexyz
Strider

Genesis:

Gaiares
Spiderman (The first game)

All for $25

The gametrader store is doing a buy 1 get one free up to $50 value. The lady told me they would be lucky to stay in business past this Christmas

. Now where the hell am I going to get used games other than E-bay, sheesh. I guess I will clean up what they have left that I want. This place overprices some games but the get 1 free deal nulls that problem completely. Example: Contra NES $30, Super Punchout SNES $35. So $35 for both, not a bad deal really.

BTW, I remember Spiderman for the Genesis being a lot more fun when I played it in 1990. This game didn't age all that well.

@Missa, you got the ugly Voice Paradise. There are two versions, that one and also one with just the anime art on the cover and not the actual VA mugshots.

Oh I didn't know there were two box arts for this title. I only picked it up to work towards a complete collection. I may have to pick up the other Voice Paradice now though. Do you know of any other FX titles with variant art?

geepee16 · 08/05/2008, 11:36 AM

hi guys. there are not - as far as i know - two versions of this game. actually (and i forgot to tell you about this missa), that game features a reversible jacket (which i didn't know about until the night i packed up missa's stuff [and i have had the game forever!]). so, just slip out the cover and flip it over and you have a much nicer looking package!! a common misconception is dispelled (?).

Nice hauls, geepee.

Quote from: geepee16 on 08/05/2008, 11:51 AMcan someone tell me how to post images here?

The easiest way is to park 'em somewhere on the web (such as photobucket, image shack, etc.) and then use the link that they provide for forums - easy as cut 'n' paste.
