We find a lot of our old games at yards sales. Just picked up a gold edition N64 Majora's mask for a buck.

i never finished that one... i still have it too.

Yeah, my buddy who's opening the store with me and I are going to start trolling goodwill and yard sales to see what we can find.

I knew I could get Stick of Truth if I waited a little bit for a price drop. Now to start playing it...

What all are you planning to sell at the store?

Mostly games and systems pre-PS2, but we'll carry a small, but good inventory of newer stuff. I don't want to be one of those retro gaming stores that only has PS1 copies of Madden 98 and shitty NES games no one wants for a dollar.

I wish we had something like that around here. I've tried a lot of emulators over the years but I still much prefer playing games on their original systems.

Agreed, emulators just aren't the same. I even tried a NES emulator with one of those modded NES USB controllers.

Luckily we have a solid handful of retro gaming stores (which also carry present-day used games). Prices are comparable to buying on ebay with shipping.

Bond, this made me think of you.

Has anyone played the Bioshock Burial at Sea DLC?

I debated buying it on the Spring Fever sale but didn't. Reviews for it seem to be good though.


I've been playing the new Tomb Raider for the past week or two (this PS+ thing is really starting to pay off) and it's surprisingly good. Like a rain and blood-soaked Uncharted. Funny that they've copied the game that copied them, but it's still great. A few too many quicktime events but they handle them better than most (they're treated more like a slow-mo bullet time event than a glorified cutscene). The weapons upgrade systems is simple but effective and forces you to explore the environment looking for salvage. There are a ton of different and satisfying ways to dispatch your enemies that keeps the game from getting monotonous. Overall i'm quite impressed.

I enjoyed this game so much I've already played through it twice, which I never, ever do with games anymore.

It was a great game, no doubt. Looking forward to what they do with the inevitable sequel.

I thought TR was excellent too. I would compare it more to Batman than Uncharted. Much more adventure oriented than Uncharted. Uncharted is an action game.
