Post your Best/Latest Accomplishment - In RL

[cidbahamut]

It just so happens I have 2.

I also have:

7 Game Cube Controllers (Used): 2 Orange, 2 Purple and 3 white.
3 NES Controllers (used)
1 NES Gun (Used)
2 Sega Saturn Controllers (used)
1 NES Power Glove (Used: In Box: Not for sale: It's mine!)
3 N64 Controllers (Used: all different colors... I can't remember... One is Red... of that I'm sure)

Oh god, you're an enabler. Shit.

I'll be back for the SNES controllers and an N64 controller closer to Christmas if they're still around. I need to not spend all of my paycheck on electronics this week, only most of it.

As well as the In-Box VMUs I have for Dreamcast, I also have 3-4 Sealed 3rd party memory Cards as well. They're those orange ones that are 200 blocks each. I'm thinking of selling them for $10.00 each since they're new. I can't sell them for any more without feeling cheap.

Let's see... I also have:

1 working Dreamcast (silver) that I'm packaging with a controller and 1 VMU.

1 Dreamcast Game Shark (In Box: Used)

50 or so assorted NES games for sale (used: none in their original box)

30 or so assorted Sega games (used: none in their original box)

A hand full of games for PS2, Game Cube, Xbox, Dreamcast, Saturn, Atari, Sega Master System, SNES and N64.

You'd have to ask me about specific titles. I don't have my list on me right now. It's on a spreadsheet at home.

3 working Nintendo DS (Original Model: used: silver)

1 Working Nintendo DS Lite (used: black)

1 Working Sega Game Gear (used: black)

1 Working PSP (Original Model: Used: Silver)

1 Working Atari (Used: Wood Panel)

1 Working Gameboy Micro (Used: Camo)

1 Working Gameboy Pocket (Used: White)

1 Working Gameboy SD (Used: Green?: I think?)

1 Working Gameboy Advance (Used: Silver)

... and a metric fuckton of other stuff.

1 Working Gameboy SD (Used: Green?: I think?)

SP? Can you check if it's the one with backlit screen? The label on the back should say AGS-101 (as opposed to AGS-001).

[Yygdrasil]

SP, you're correct. My bad... I just inverted SD.

As for the backlit... I'll have to double-check. Let me get back to you after I get home. Most of the stuff is still in boxes from my move until I got around to listing it.

I also accept trades.

For instance, I've been looking for a copy of Mystic Quest that's complete with Box, insert and booklet. It doesn't need to be new... but it does need to work.

I'd gladly haggle for it to further my collection.

[Firewind]

On a similar note I bought two used copies of Tales of Vesperia for the 360 for £30 ($50) second hand and they both went on Ebay for £70 ($177) each over the weekend.

$170 profit (after postage) on two video games isn't bad at all given how easy that game is to sell in the UK. What can I say? Gamestation are idiots when it comes to pricing up extremely rare second hand video games.

You also wouldn't believe how tempting it is to make an offer for the DS Lite (I gave mine to my little sister after she somehow managed to break a Nintendo console) but I think converting the adaptor to work here without it exploding spectacular might wind up costing more than just buying another DS Lite from a pawn shop.

[Aksannyi]

Minor, but I got my voter registration application in the mail by the postmark deadline, which was today.

Yay me!


(Yes, that's probably the best accomplishment I have for the moment. I'm lame.)

[cidbahamut]

It's a good accomplishment to have.

[Aksannyi]

I know. I had just moved here last presidential election so I missed the deadline but this time I have no excuse.

[Yygdrasil]

Forgot to mention this a few weeks ago.

I quit smoking. So there's that.

[Mezlo]

Your chick is making you a better person, that's a good thing.

[Satori]

Yygy what method are you using?
I think if I quit after a few days I'd be appearing on the news. I smoke for the safety of others.
I wish I had the willpower to do it, I did quit once for almost 2 years but just over7 years ago my life went kinda chaotic and I somehow went back to it. I've tried to quit since but my attempts have been pathetic.

Well done little Taru /cheer !

[Yygdrasil]

I quit cold turkey. The only effective way to do it. I tried weening myself off it a few years back and damn near strangled complete strangers.

It's been hard. I won't lie.

4 weeks and counting.

Pro-Tip: You never stop wanting one. The craving never goes away. Ever. You just learn to deal with it.

[Yellow Mage]

{Congratulations!} :D

Same here. I quit 8 years ago, I smoke and dipped. Dipping more-so. I went through about a can a day of dip, and in California that's a $50 a week habit. I quit one Christmas holiday when i flew home to be with the family for a week. I replaced dipping and smoking with drinking water and chewing gum. Yyg's right, it never goes away, you just learn to dela with it. I'll still have dreams that I was hanging out drinking with some friends and then smoked a cigarette and I'll wake up going, "Nooo!!!!" Also watching movies where people are smoking can really get me in the mood for one.

This!

Watching that Keanu Reeves movie... what's it called... (IMDB)... Constantine. That movie FUCKING KILLED ME the first time I tried quitting. I forever hate Keanu for it. NO FORGIVENESS!!!
