    So I'm out doing some last minute Christmas Shopping there's this nice used/vintage game stop near the best buy (A place called button mashers) we were at. We intended to go there but not only sped past it but almost ran a cop over in the process...he's fine we're fine nothing came of it.
    My intended purchase there was a Saturn, No Saturn so I ended up at the comic shop I frequently tell you all about, the Toy Vault. What did I end up with? Xenogears (And Test Drive Lemans and Sega Smash pack 1)

    Intended to get a saturn

    ended up with one of the best RPGs ever made.

    So when have you gone into a vintage game store or just picked around online and got something you did not intend to get.

    Oh...Xenogears was more than the Saturn would have been.

    When I originally bought my Dreamcast, the game I was most interested in buying was DOA2. That was one of the main reasons I wanted a DC in the first place. But at the same time I was looking at games, I saw Shenmue, and I thought, "Hm... I've heard some good (vague) things about this. Maybe I should give it a try." As it turns out, it became one of my favorite games of all time.

    There's nothing Nazi about it to ask an adult not to write like a 13yr old who's typing during a round of counter-strike.

    Stop or I'll invade you.

    Yeah... it's one thing to criticize someone's writing because it's technically incorrect. It's another thing when it's actually difficult to understand what the person is saying. That's not being a grammar nazi; that's just trying to communicate.

    Anyway, this is far from GoH's worst offense in that regard.

    Nothing crazy special, but I did go to the flea market to visit my favorite vendor and pick up... I think it was a couple Saturn games or something that I didn't have money for the day earlier.
    And sitting in the case with all the other junk is a copy of Earthbound. $15 bucks. Boioioioing.


    The German and has better typing habits than you.

    $15 Earthbound is quite a find considering how insanely high it goes for lately.


    also I can't see shit this is pretty much how I see things lately

    too much self pleasure, I think :lol:

    Anyway, back on topic. I've not really gone out to buy something and bought something else but I do often end up buying stuff from Hard Off when I originally just went to have a look around.

    I do hope Button Mashers still has that Saturn.

    There's a good 99% chance I'll give up on Modern gaming after this generation and only play the classics.
