More Dreamcast games arrived today! All are brand new except Death Crimson and Super Runabout (seems to be a bit rare in the states).
Also picked up a bunch of new 4 disc and 2 disc cases to replace some of the messed up and cracked cases I have been getting on some of the used games. Yes... I am anal about my game collection. You can get the cases pretty cheap on Amazon.
Edit: It is amazing how easy to find and cheap new Dreamcast games are. All of these were $5-7 including shipping.

Thanks for reminding me... I need to pick that A Game of Thrones book up
Yay, downloaded Deathsmiles IIX Games on Demand to my box here in europe. Did not think I would be able. Everyone should support it so we get more Cave shooters in the US!
Cave has gotta get Daifukkatsu and Akai Katana here for folks without a J -360. Let us hope this initiative is successful so they eventually arrive in this region!

I went thrifting today and this is all I though I was going to get:
I was a little bit disappointed as I had hit at lest 10 stores and the pickings were unusually slim
Things started to look up thought as I ran across this.
I hadn't planned on hitting the Goodwill where I got all of this, which is usually how it works out.
The true score, though, came at the last one I went to. This thrift store is cash only and for profit so I don;t normally hit them up as they don't get a lot of good donations. This was in their display case:
And also these three cases:
I was in a hurry and didn't do my normal looking up of the games. They were $1.95 each and I should have been a bit more discerning as I could have just ignored the unimportant ones like Tetris and stuff.
Some decent games, overall not too bad as a lot of them had the manuals so those are salvageable:
These one's were definitely worth the $1.95 price tag:
The unlicensed ones were what really excited me. I have no experience with these so I was a little disappointed when I got home and looked them up. Not the treasure I had been expecting.
This one though.... I think I did pretty good.

Thanks, I need to get a screwdriver for it, but I will say it's heavy as hell so I'm hoping it is one. It'll be a nice flip if so.
edit:

I got my degree in Music Composition. (B.M. Music Composition), and studied with with some professors who not only studied with important composers of the century (Babbit, Feldman, Wuorinen) but also a professor who taught Jeremy Soule (Elder Scrolls Series, Neverwinter Nights, Guild Wars, Icewind Dale, etc.) composition!
It really feels awesome to be done. Everyone is so awesome towards the end of those times, more people get along, hang out a TON, make new friends, strengthen relationships/friendships, rekindle forgotten ones, people tell you they've secretly loved you (both women and men) for 4 years... You know, those kind of things. I just felt so elated and free once the last weeks hit and once I graduated, and man, all that pressure/work/stress being gone? Best feeling ever. Same goes for the feeling of knowing you kicked college's ass, that you overcame everything thrown at you to finish strong, and that you made a difference in people's lives while you were there and they'll remember you forever.
Additionally, my last class ever (History of American Music) ended with us watching a "cornerstone of American music", which turned out to be Jimi Hendrix playing the Star Spangled Banner at Woodstock as a guitar solo.
I really felt like I was leaving a big part of my life behind, but i'm excited for my future. Grad school starts in August. I landed myself a pretty sweet spot in a very good music conservatory, and managed to snag the composition department assistantship out of around 30 or so candidates!
What's your current degree in?
Total brain fart on my behalf; I meant to say Office Max. Man, what a mix-up. How I confused the two i'll never know. Sorry bout' that.thegreatchamp said:Circuit City is still open?

Does the Japanese MD taste different than the American MD? The European MD tastes awful.

Junior, please.

As someone who has sampled all three, I can confirm that the Japanese one does taste different. A bit less sweet, more citrus-ey. Still great though.

I think it tastes about the same as US Mtn. Dew. I like it. The only downside is that this large can is the only way to get it. I've only found it in various Pepsi owned vending machines. It's not sold in stores, or at least ones I've been to. I'd prefer a liter or 2 liter bottle of it so I can drink it on and off. Not all in one sitting. Oh well.
Sorry about the EU MD tasting bad.
