Animonday 035: FLCL Ridding on a Shooting Star
Late as usual but the updates are coming and we are getting back in place. With the finals out of the way, it's time to game until January! Lots of interesting updates are coming this month as we are going to finish the year with style. Be sure to check out this song and AMV. It's based on one of my favorite bands, The Pillows, and one of my favorite series that only lasted six episodes, FLCL. Enjoy it!
Retro Gaming News 163: Cosmo Cops go Japan
No other changes. All text is as existing in the game.
Screenshots are original orientation. The game is played with DS held vertical “book” style."
Ads from the past 241: Advanced Dungeons and Dragons
Many people hated these games especially on the NES and I don't blame them. I think I rather get together with my nerdy friends in a long table and play this game the way it was supposed to be played. Good old RPG goodness! ^_^

Here are the first finds for December! There are not much and non-retro but a find is a find! I was able to find some interesting goodies and finally got a Wii. Believe it or not, I never had one before so picking one up for the right price was only fair. Now, I'm going to mod that shit till next century! Check out my other finds ^_^
I picked up this copy of Mario Party 5 for two dollars which came with a Mega Man Anniversary collection inside! Great freebie :p
I picked these three up for a dollar each. Can't beat the Marvel vs Capcom 2 for that price! It's the Xbox version and well if you checked out my finds from last month, I was able to find a Dreamcast Marvel vs Capcom 2 during that trip. I also got the Goonies which is one of my favorite movies evah! I shall be able to watch it since I'm on vacation now...Goonies never say die!
This is the Wii! At first I though it didn't read the discs but I was putting them the other way around. I picked it up for ten bucks which I though was fair especially since it was sold as is. I'm looking for an SD card to mod this into playing all sorts of crazy games, I can't wait! It's going to be a good vacation time! :p
Finally, I picked up these games mostly for 2 dollars each. There are some RPGs that I'm probably going to get rid of since I already have them. All to keep the hobby alive huh? Gotta test and clean them first ^_^ But I'm sure they are all fine!

Nintendo Wii Console
Mario Party 5 (Gamecube)
Mega Man Anniversary Collection (Gamecube)
Marvel vs Capcom 2 (Xbox)
Rocky (PS2)
Goonies Movie DVD
Final Fantasy Origins (PS1)
Mega Man 8 (PS1)
Mega Man X6 (PS1)
RPG Maker (PS1)

Find of the month (November)
There was no doubt which would be the top pick of November. With the release of Persona 4 Golden, every other find looked obsolete! This is probably one of the best RPGs of all time! Haven't tried it? I suggest you do even if you don't have a PSvita, you can get the PS2 version. The game is perfect in this remake! Well done Atlus, I'll be your slut forever!
November Numbers 2012
The numbers have sustained themselves at the usual rate. It would be nice for them to go back up so I'll think of something. I want to thank everyone for visiting the blog though! Thank you so much! Lets end the year with style!
Ads from the past 240: Blaster Master (NES)
I have to apologize for the lack of updates for the past week. I was in finals at school so I wasn't able to update at all! Everything should be back to normal starting today. Anyways, lets start the week right with a new ad for a classic game that's "unreal". Blaster Master is here!
