#game chasing

Part 1 of my largest #retrogames hunt purchase of 2017!

I screwed up with Justice League. I had bought tickets for everyone going, as I typically do. I have the AMC Stubs membership, so buying everyone’s tickets avoids the online “convenience fee” and everyone then pays me back for their tickets. We always catch the opening night 7PM showing for these sorts of things. Only Warner Bros and AMC flipped it on me. The normal showing was at 6PM and the 3D…

The Nov 2017 Half Price Books sale week we thought would end our game hunts for the year.

In November 2017, Half Price Books had their coupon week. This is a week where each day has a coupon off your most expensive item. 20% on Mon/Tue, 30% on Wed/Thur, 40% on Fri/Sat and 50% on Sunday. To get the coupons, you just need to sign up for their mailing list. This week, held 2-3 times a year, normally kills me because I do a full range around the DFW area, checking every Half Price Books…

Still recounting my last game hunts of 2017 that lead up to my biggest find ever!

An Unexpected Sale An antique store near work had an outdoor sale where people were able to bring things and set up for basically a collective garage sale in the parking lot. I didn’t expect to find anything, and I still hadn’t recovered from Retropalooza, but I still stopped. No games, but the original Star Wars trilogy on VHS for $3 was a great deal! While I was there, I did a quick check…

8-9-17 Impromptu Fox (Game) Hunt - Jeff and @terranceharken go pawn shop hunting for games.

Aug 9, 2017 After Let’s Play Game Expo, my friend Phil (@terranceharken) still had the itch to hunt for some games. He wasn’t able to return to the convention on Sunday, so his haul was lighter and he was just really wanting to try and find some new gems. We’ve been friends since grade school and we normally hang out and check out an anime or play games once a week, but he wanted to go hunting…

The $5 BAD GAME CHALLENGE - Game Questing

Occasionally it's fun to do something a little different on my YouTube channel:  Metal Jesus takes Wood from BeatEmUps & TheBigJB around the Seattle area game hunting or "questing". He also challenges them to find the WORST GAME for $5 or under...that isn't Bubsy 3D!

This video was a bit of a challenge to edit because I had originally hoped to show more normal game pickups...but in the end, it really became all about the $5 Bad Game Challenge. Sure we picked up a few non-shitty games...but nothing amazing. So in the end, the video got trimmed quite a bit to make it zip along more and I think it's better for it.

Also...shooting the b-roll green screen stuff really made the video pop! Tiffany in particular had some really funny "outsider" remarks about how stupid we all were. She was kinda nervous she would come across as bitchy in the video...but I thought she was hilarious and just made it even better!
