An Update For My Blog, My Stuff, And My Feeling Of Negligence


Best Christmas present ever nominee.


This is the most huggable inanimate thing I've owned in my life.



I got this for free, funny story.





Look how sun-bleached the one in the bottom left is. 
 I, just like I do with my journal every few months, am posting mainly so that this blog doesn't look abandoned. (Seriously! I only posted twice in the entirety of last year!) Also, I got a lot of cool stuff. Some being the Virtual Boy, Hyperscan (I can't play it, though- it's missing a power supply + controller) , 1-3 new TVs, a new computer, some Famicom games (I don't actually have a Famicom, I just wanted the games [EDIT: I now have a Famicom and as it turns out, all 3 games{EDIT2: or the RF switch I use} are broken]) , an Atari 5200 game with the manual that I got for absolute free, a new-sealed Atari 2600 Dig Dug (Just to break the heart of every hardcore collector out there, I will tell you what I did with it; I opened it so that I could play it! [not the entire thing - I just lightly tore one edge of the already-coming-off-anyway sealing/shrinkwrap/whatever so that it could be opened]) for $10, lots of other games for the VB and 2600, a plush Pooka (you know, those little red inflatables from Dig Dug) , and a Gundam model that took me around 2 weeks/4-8 man hours to build because I had to rely completely on the pictures (do you speak Japanese? ... Neither do I.) in the 4-5 page instructions booklet and because there were 2 steps that took a very long time to figure out. I've attached pictures of everything. They aren't very good quality, because I took them from my 3DS as there is no way I'd use my theoretical $500 to buy a stinking camera. If you want any of the stuff, most of it can be found online (except for the Pooka, which might take a while to track down) or at thrift stores/garage sales. Also, I might consider reformatting this blog to a retrogaming-only thing, tracking all my awesome finds from eBay. Maybe I'll just start a whole new different blog that way, or just add that stuff to this blog, maybe throwing in posts on what I do in LittleBigPlanet 2. (LBP2 is an awesome PS3 game in which I am a game programmer/retro fanatic/some other stuff, you should try it! My PSN name is SP_Sour.) Anyway, that's all for now. (Except for these seemingly random phrases that will rank my blog higher in Google. Starting...
