just some googly eyes on games!

Life is googly

They were told that if shoulders touch, a woman gets pregnant

Boxing double take!

When you realize that one shot just made it worse...

Finally got a chance to reunite these. I've had parts 1-3 for years now. And last month, I bought part 4 from gamestop. Now we can take a Pic together! Have you played the original LCD games? Or are these carts here your first time playing a Game and Watch title? Game and Watch 3 is one of my first gameboy games I've ever had. And it holds lots of memories for me.

06/10/26: It's silicon, paper and plastic today at the Fleamarket. Nothing really gaming related but the fun is in the search. My first purchase was nice, but it could've been better. I found a bunch of thick comics. But I had to leave more behind. Some old soda or sticky liquid was on a lot of them. Wet pages turned dry, and lots of books covers stuck to each other. When I got these home, I carefully had to use goo gone stuff to remove all the stickiness. And not to scrub too hard and wear the paper out. The guy also had an X-men novel and an unopened dvd. My scrubbing was mostly successful, so that made the $15 for everything worth it. I then found an empty 3ds case for $2.00 followed up with a Jackass UMD movie for $3.00. Another seller had interesting items too, but mostly junk. But I fished out for $7.00: two Doctor Who dvds and a Novelization, another comic and some Indiana Jones playing cards. And lastly, five movies for a dollar each. The packaging on some of these disney dvds says that they're exclusives. So I don't know how true that is, but I'll take them. Lets see what other goodies come my way in the future.

Here's something i just saw at the Fleamarket that brought out some nostalgic memories in me. Old colored pencils. The boxes, the font on the pencils and the smell. Brought me back to my school times in my youth. Does my picture evoke similar feelings?

06/08/26: Monday thrift store finds! Been laying low for a few days after my big gamestop purchase last week. Plus, I had rent and bills too. Today, I went thrifting after work instead of before. At Salvation Army before they closed for the day, I found a clamshell VHS copy of Three Musketeers Disney Live-action for a buck. Never really expected it in that type of case. So I got it. At goodwill I got a $4 and two $6 dollar shirts and two volumes of manga My Hero Academia for a dollar each. And womenhaven thrift store was the winner. I found some books and graphic novels for $1 and $2 each. A Tales from the Crypt VHS for a dollar and A Nightmare on Elm Street dvd set for $4. I'm a happy guy!

A great money find today! At work someone paid items with these old $20 bills! And then I found two new Mayflower quarters in the till too. I bought a candy to swap them out with new bills on my break. This find is going to hurt my funds too. It's a bit painful to squirrel away twenty dollar bills. Especially how everything is pricy lately. But these are in fair enough conditions. Especially being from 1985. I didn't even take them all, as I left two or three behind. I hope they find a good home. I'm also excited for the new quarters too. I finally got some after just seeing them in pictures. I'm broke yet happy.

I just got a damn nice bonus! I just got these games a few days ago from gamestop on their b2g1 free sale. And as I'm installing them, on a whim I'm uploading their codes. And guess what? They worked! I just got free DLC from two 'used' games! I know this was pretty common back in the ps3/360 days, having unused codes in used games. I've had lots of luck there. Sometimes it could happen that gamestop made a new game used too. But now that systems are more connected than ever, likely a code has already been redeemed. But never give up and try a code anyways. You might get a freebie!

05/29/26: I've gone f*cking mad! It's been a while since I've spent so much at gamestop! The other day, I got just a taste of their b2g1 free sale. I had to go back today cause there was a few more games I wanted. But as I pulled and grabbed games, their price-points were different and I wanted to maximize value. So I ended up with three different sets of games in a similar price range. If I were anymore impulsive or greedy, I probably would've done two more sets. I balked at the total that I created. But this sale would still save me money. I'm buying all at once what would've taken me months to do anyways. But I'll have to settle for these bangers! I curated a good selection, though. I think I'll stay away now for a while. Or at least until the sale is over.

Went to browse gamestop before work. Saw the sign of b2g1 free and Temptation struck. Spent $80 bucks here, but I got some titles I've been keeping my eyes on for a while. I may go back for more.

05/27/26: Its a Mega Manga Haul today at the Wednesday fleamarket! It was a bit windy and the sellers that I usually buy from didn't show up. But one sellers boxes caught my eye in the distance. It was books! A ton of them. Almost all manga. At first I saw one box, and then another. I grabbed them both and took them to the guy to hold on to. I told him I was interested. He said that if I take them all, they're a dollar each. Cool. But he still had plenty of stuff strewn about. So I looked around and I found a few anime and regular dvds. I did spot some video games too, but only Facebreaker ps3 was in decent condition. Others were scratched, had center ring cracks and crappy cases. Grand total for everything was $90 bucks. Its mostly shojo manga now that I sorted it. Plus some yaoi titles. I'll keep a few. But I'll likely sell most of them in the future. I did ask the guy before I left if he had more. But he told me that his son sold lots more up in LA after buying a storage unit. And these were just the leftovers. Yikes! I would've liked to have seen that. He did say he was going to check and maybe come back with more next week. But they just say that to everyone. Storage auctions are random like that.

05/27/26: Wednesday doesn't stop! After the fleamarket run, I made it back to town and I got a chance to visit that one thrift store with weird hours. Somebody donated a bunch of books there. Lots of them were female protagonist Suspense novels. But I looked through most them and read the synopsis on the flap or did a basic google search. These books here are a hodgepodge mix of Suspense, action, horror, drama, murder and satire. And at a dollar each, a good price too. Hopefully one day I'll read them. But for now I'll store them away like the nice media chipmunk that I am. Hooray for cheap things!

Its exhausting trying to figure out how the world works lately.

Happy kitty
