If recent can count about a month or so ago, then this is a recent purchase. If not I bought the fans with red LEDs about a week ago so ha. (Ignore the full trash can)

With $50 of my birthday money, I was able to get the following on Steam:
-Bastion ($14.99) -Cave Story+ ($9.99) -The Binding of Isaac ($4.99) -VVVVVV ($4.99) -Cthulu Saves the World & Breath of Death VII Double Pack ($2.99) -Fall Key for TF2 ($2.49) You may notice that this does not add up to $50. I still have $9.77 left in my Steam Wallet, so I'm saving that in case I see a game on sale that looks rather enjoyable. |

Something I've needed since I found Mario Kart 64 and Turok, I bought a Performance Memory Card Plus for Nintendo 64, which ran me about $5. I quick-tested all four of its banks with my GameShark, and it seems to work flawlessly, since I was able to see all of the previous owner's saves. I'll have to figure out how to reformat the card at a later date.

Garage sales from last Saturday:
NES Games: Castlevania III: Dracula's Quest Ferrari Gran Prix Challenge Gunman Maniac Mansion Mission Impossible R.B.I. Baseball 3 Super Mario Brothers 3 All for $10 total And from another I got a black 1st party GameCube controller for $2. Maniac Mansion I sold and made my $10 back. Dracula's Quest, Gunman, and RBI Baseball 3 I traded to someone online in exchange for Yoshi's Island (SNES). Super Mario Brothers 3 and the GCN controller I traded for a complete copy of Kirby's Epic Yarn (Wii). I still have Ferrari and Mission Impossible on eBay, should get another ~$5-7 for them. Also found another game store really close to my campus (had some nice stuff there: a Panasonic Q, a NES Power Glove, a Wii development system(!) that once belonged to Konami, a bunch of Game & Watches, a Famicom Disk Drive and even had some arcade/pinball machines on free-play). All I got was a complete copy of Demolition Racer: No Exit (DreamCast) for $5. They had like 20 copies and it has cars going boom so figured I'll give it a shot.

From a garage sale this last Saturday:
GBA games (all loose): Zelda: A Link to the Past w/ the Four Swords Cartoon Network Speedway Quad Desert Fury/Monster Trucks (2 in 1 game pak) Dragon Ball Z: The Legacy of Goku F-14 Tomcat Star Wars: Flight of the Falcon Midnight Club: Street Racing Duke Nukem Advance Drilled Zer All for $10. The Zelda game easily goes for $10-$15 online. I sold the other GBA games at a local game store and got $10. So I technically got Zelda for free. |

actually NO. got Pokemon Red for about $20 at a recently-opened retro game shop down the street. only problem with it is that the save gets erased every time I turn it off and on. I'll probably find some way to change the battery out, though. |

Interesting story here. I managed to get a copy of Megaman for the PC for a decent price, and it was on a floppy disc. *looks to the left* Lucky for me, my crappy computer is so old that it HAS a 3 1/2 floppy slot, so I got to try it out. Turns out, it's one of those games that play based on how good the GPU is, so I manage to start it up, and play for 3 seconds before I get absolutely mauled by a tiger or something running at light speed. (In related news, the game believes my atrocious GPU is absolutely fantastic...)
...I suppose this means I can no longer say I've never played a Megaman game? Last edited by ThePokeMan; October 20, 2012 at 05:59:42 PM. |

From NintendoAge, I got Wario World (complete) for the GameCube, Nintendo Power magazines 77 (featuring Yoshi's Island), 93 (Mario Kart 64), and 104 (Yoshi's Story) all with their original posters still in them for $20 shipped. Once this arrives in the mail, I can sell my disc-only copy of Wario World for about $8-10.
Then yesterday I struck a deal with someone on AtariAge to trade some N64 cases and SNES dust covers I had laying around (since I don't use them because I got the universal cases) for Bubble Bobble (with instructions) and Pac-Man, both for the NES.

At the swap shop, I unloaded some games I lost interest in, a three-button Sega Genesis controller that I no longer needed (because I have two six-button controllers... ), and in return, I received Mortal Kombat II and Golden Axe, both for Sega Genesis. The edge connectors have been cleaned, and all I have left to do is test the games.

Just put down my pre-order for Paper Mario: Sticker Star. NewEgg has a special for $29.99 with free shipping. I don't mind waiting another day or two for it to arrive in the mail to get 25% off (plus tax) . If anyone else is interested, the promo code to get the discount is EMCYTZT2452 I don't know how long this code is good for, so use it while you can.

Two copies of Scribblenauts Unlimited, on Steam, one for me, and one for Vel.
Towns (PC, this game makes VERY little sense and is REALLY hard) Cherry Tree High Comedy Club (PC, trying to remember why I bought this in the first place) Fallout: New Vegas (PC) **EDIT** I preordered a Wii U last night. They're out of stock right now, but they should be available next Tuesday, so they're gonna ship it to me immediately when they restock.

I hoped I could wait until later to post this, but I FINALLY got Pokémon Dream Radar. While it's small and the waiting KILLS me, it's so fun to mindlessly shoot things in my house. And all those beautiful Leppa berries~

Even though it's not entirely official yet, I forced someone to get me Prinny: Can I Really Be The Hero? I've recently become interested (Read: Obsessed) and so I wanted it. Downside: It's a UMD, and I HATE UMDs.

Super Hexagon - Insanely addictive, very simple yet challenging game. I love it. From the same guy that made VVVVVV with incredible chiptune music.
I also bought the THQ bundle, but since I'll only be playing Saints Row 3 I have a code with all the other games in the bundle spare. |

Been actually wanting this for a long while after renting it years ago. But never got around to getting it when it was still in the Playstation 2 Era. I'm satisfied. |

Although none of it is a video game (almost picked up Halo: Reach, but I'm going to wait until I get bored of Halo 4), where else am I gonna share my shopping spree goodies today?
If you can't guess, the store I went to had a lot of family movies on sale. Last edited by Cat333Pokémon; December 26, 2012 at 05:52:10 PM. Reason: lolterrakion |

Got Saints Row: The Third with all DLC on Steam as a gift from Greenman. Due to one of my RAM sticks going bad and taken out of my system a few months ago it runs a little laggy, so I can't really play it until I get it replaced.
I also got McPixel (also on Steam) for $2.50 ... and then proceeded to 100% complete it in 3 hours. It's not really much of a game, but more of "click at everything and see what explodes". However, it is VERY random and it's fun to see all the references (one of my favorites) so it is an enjoyable ride. Though yeah, way to short. Does have a level editor though. As long as there is at least one thing somewhat video game related (like the Pokémon stuff Cat mentioned), anything else is fine in the same post (though don't go nuts telling us every time you get a candy bar or something).
