About two months back, I wass having a rummage sale. I had just sold an old bike for 20$, and I was feeeling pretty awesome. Then someone pulled into our driveway. This person wasn't a customer, but an old friend of my moms looking to put some items of hers in our rummage sale. After unloading several boxes, I noticed a rather large chest. I opened it, expecting to find some unwanted chotchkeys or gaudy clothing, but what I found instead blew my mind. It was a Super Nintendo, complete with a/v, power, 2 controllers, and a copy of Super Mario World. I took it inside, cleaned it, played it, and absolutely loved it. It was at that moment I decided I'd collect prime consoles and games like these. I've since obtained some cool shet, but yesterday's haul inspired mem to start writing blogs whenever I get a new game/console/whatever.

Anyways, yesterday, a man showed up in our driveway with a box of DVDs. I learned that my dad was planning to trade our TV stand for about 30 DVDs or so (Did I mention my mom is a DVD collector? That's kinda important). After being ale to find about 22 dvds worth picking up, the man offered to return to his home and grab another box of DVDs. When I got the box, I managed to find a few more films worth picking up, but I also noticed 3 Xbox games (Halo 2, Steel Battalion and Ghost Recon). I asked the man if I could take Ghost Recon and Steel Battalion (Halo 2 didn't have it's disc in it), and he said yes, prompting a pretty nice conversation about video game collections. After we'd found the movies we needed, I withdrew myself to my bedrom. After about an hour I came out, and my dad asked me to look on the counter. It was then I learned that the man (named Markus, btw) found me so fascinating, he gave me Duke Nukem: Zero Hour and GODDAMNED OCARINA OF TIME (both N64), and was in the process of obtaining a Gamecube for me. I'm hoping I meet up with Markus again soon, because these trades are f**king sweet.

The person who probably has 2 more N64 games than you,
