Weekend Game Gear Find
Picked this up at a yard sale for $0.50.
Defenders of Oasis for the Sega Game Gear, now all I need is a Sega Game Gear to play it. Turns out current going rate is $7 - $15, so not a bad deal. Also Super Epic.
Tetris and Apple Pie
So I got this in the mail the other day.
Best Tetris ever!
Also complete with poster.
The strangest part of this whole thing is the description on the back of the box.
Maybe apple pie? Maybe?
Is Vidscreen Victory Eluding You?
Everyone always asks me "How are you so good at Nintendo games?" and usually I tell them "You just have to hold the controller right." but today I'm going to let out all the secrets.
Yes thats right How to Win at Nintendo Games #2 and #3. Filled with secret codes, training tips, expert tactics, secret passwords, and important updates!
Jeff Rovin punches you in the face with Nintendo game information. Make sure you have some water near by or risk choking on Nintendo game tactics.
How did I get so good at Super Mario Brothers?
Wah-bam! Super Mario 1, 2, & 3 instant wizard. There is no way Craig Hobbs will ever be able to be me in a speed run of Mario 2. You better be practicing Craig.
Jimmy Johns [Complaint of the Day]
Today we ordered Jimmy Johns, maybe you've been to the place, the're about every two miles on any main street in Kalamazoo, subs so fast I'm supposed to freak. I didn't do any freaking today.
I should mention that we had delivery. It was so slow I wondered if we ordered.
I like Barq's Red Cream Soda (don't judge) and some of the JJs around here have it on fountain, which is awesome. The one closest to my work doesn't so Root Beer is my back up. The problem is the JJ's closest to my work doesn't have Root Beer either. Maybe this is hard to understand for register clerks but if I order a soda that you don't have, do not bring me a 12 oz. can and charge me $1.50. Here are some pictures so you moron and illiterate types can understand.
ONE 12 OZ CAN DOES NOT EQUAL $1.50. Pretty easy to understand, if I wanted canned soda I know where the damn supermarket is.
This one is a bit tricky, two cans approximately equal $1.50, if the cans are very full. Ask your drug or nerdy friends for a scale to figure this one out. Bathroom scales don't work for this.
Fair deal!
The moral of the story is kids, if you don't have an item, just tell the customer so they don't have to blog about it.
Swanson Pyramid of Greatness
I wanted to make a print of the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness but alas the internet could not supply me with a high enough resolution image. SO... I remade it. And now I'm going to share it and bask in its greatness. Ai CS5 linked below.
WTF is going on?
-visitor-why is your site all funny looking?
-nick- because I am finally going to work on a new theme for it.
-visitor-what was wrong with the old one?
-nick- lots, but specifically lack of support for custom menus and confusing link formatting.
-visitor-oh okay, when will it be finished?
-nick- probably never, but for fun lets say two weeks.
-visitor- so what else have you been up to?
-nick- i've been working on animaticpress.com a totally awesome and brilliantly drawn web comic by my new friend Frank. Make sure you check it out! He puts out a new comic every Monday.
State of theJobbitt
So its been a few months since my last update and I would have to say that things are going great... except for the website. How easy I thought it would be to update once a week, thats it; once a week. Here we are in the vast over advertised internet and I am lacking content on my site, so sad.
I have updated my Nintendo list and added a Sega list, the now pull from Google Docs spreadsheets, makes it super easy to update, as well as add to. Awesome.
Other Thoughts:
Code Monkeys, the G4 show is on Netflix and its good.
Tank Girl the movie isn't as good as I remember.
Pat Perry has some cool stuff on his site you should check it out.
The 411 Club in Kalamazoo is pretty nice, website not so nice.
Excited about Solex, especially fast ones.
