Finds 1935: Karate Kid, Remothered, and Bayonetta + Vanquish


Here are some new additions that I picked up from Gamestop. The Karate Kid Street Rumble was on sale for 19.99 so I'm glad it finally went down from 29.99. Remothered is a horror game which was on sale for 17.99 and I already had the sequel so why not? Finally, Bayonetta + Vanquish is a really cool two game pack which was only 9 bucks. You like any of these?

Windows 95 Skins for Iphone !


This is my new interface on my Iphone. Isn't it awesome? It mimics the Windows 95 icons and interface. I did had to change some icons from scratch such as eBay or Picture this. Otherwise, it's been really cool to change the settings and create shortcuts in order to make it look really vintage! If you want me to upload the package on here, let me know!
