• First Black Friday 2012 Pickup

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:50 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments So the first of my Black Friday pickups arrived today: Forza Horizon. I've been really wanting this game since it first was announced a few months ago, but didn't think it was really worth the $59.99 asking price. I felt that this should have Read More...

• Rage of the Primal Variety

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:50 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments Back in 1995 I used to frequent an arcade in Houston's Memorial City Mall known as Exhilarama. Exhilarama was an arcade like no other arcade you could imagine; incredibly expansive, this arcade had every type of beat-em-up game, fighting game, rides, Read More...

• Another Infatuation...Video Game Box Protectors!

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:49 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments Watching Pat the NES Punk's videos I can't help but try to peek at the expansive collection in the background. With pretty much the entire NES library in the background one has to think that he's protecting a very expensive collection in some Read More...

• Finally Got This One Back

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:49 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments After months and months of not having this game (thanks to Juan) I finally was able to get it back before the Thanksgiving break. Juan, being the weird guy he is, owns a parrot and he (the parrot, not Juan) has the tendency to peck at anything shiny and Read More...

• Metal Gear Solid HD Collection: All But One

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:49 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments As I child I missed out on some great games due to a lack of money/time/interest/knowledge of what was out there. One of these legendary games was Metal Gear Solid. Now sneaking-around types of games normally don't appeal to me (I loved Serious Sam Read More...

• Epic Mickey for Epic Cheap

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:48 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments You know, for a while I really wrote off the Wii as a piece of crap. For a system released in the year 2006 it didn't play DVDs, didn't really have good internet capability, required you to enter a crazy long serial number to game with your friends, Read More...

• Fighting Game Owners and Poorly Treated Games?

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:47 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments So one of my final 32X pick-ups (for now) is the ever-elusive and well-made Mortal Kombat II. From what I have heard (and seen to an extent) the 32X version sports better sprites, smoother graphics, and an overall better gaming experience than the Genesis Read More...

• Getting my Hands Dirty

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:47 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments So I've decided against using the UGCs for NES carts, as it would be far too much work to trim cases, print covers, and have the games take up more space on the shelf (not to mention the whole standardization of covers issue). I have a really neat Read More...

• Free Black Ops on Launch Day

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:47 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments Normally I don't really play any of the Call of Duty/Battlefield games, or any of the war-types of games to begin with. While I think they're fun and each has their own unique "flavor" they all tend to run into one another and I don't Read More...

• My First Import!

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:46 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments Going to Half Price Books on South Lamar is never a disappointment. Well, almost never. The last few weeks have been pretty quiet at the store, and with the difficulty in getting down there I decided to hang back for a while and try my odds at eBay. Thankfully Read More...

• Over 9000!

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:46 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments Another import I got from the Half Price Books "Halfy Days" sale. I never really buy imports, and I'm not the biggest fan of Dragonball Z since they talk so damn much the entire show, yet here we are. The game, complete in box and in mint Read More...

• Dirt Cheap Final Fantasy

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:44 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments I normally don't come across Final Fantasy games in the wild, but a few weeks back I came across several sealed Final Fantasy games at MicroCenter in Houston. Priced at $17.99 they were a decent enough deal, but they were all Greatest Hits editions Read More...

• CIB Zelda!!

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:44 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments Complete in box Zelda? Complete in box Zelda!? Yes, complete in box Zelda. While that may not be a big deal for some of you out there (if you are out there), for me this has been the unicorn of video games. I played it a few times as a kid, but wasn't Read More...

• Hard to Find....Domestic?

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:43 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments So the Half Price Books on North Lamar (which is still a pain to get to, regardless of its north-ness) is notorious for overpricing their games. They are the highest-traffic store in Austin, but all of their game buyers look everything up on eBay and Read More...

• WWF Oh Yeaaaaah!!

  Posted Monday, April 15, 2013 6:41 PM by salvanipour | 0 Comments It's the Nacho Man, CANDY Savage! Okay, horrible joke and Epic Meal Time reference aside (and I'm really hungry around lunchtime writing this) I was able to finally snag one of the two wrestling games for the 32X. For a system that only had 31 Read More...
