A Happy Gamer and Some Nice Days

Its been pretty nice here lately about 60 or 70 degree days. The other day I spent some time in the yard hanging out with the fish. Basically just relaxing.

I picked up a few games the other day first was Mortal Kombat ($3) for the Super Famicom, which I will sell with one of the copies of MK2 that I had bought. The other game I got was a loose copy of The Legend of Zelda: Majoras Mask ($6) which I will also sell with the loose copy of Ocarina of Time that I picked up a while back.

But the best thing I got was a copy of Street Fighter Zero 3 for the Saturn, hands down the best game on the system. I have talked a little about this game before so I won't go all into it now but I'm very happy to have got it. I couldn't find it anywhere which is not a surprise but I really had the itch to play it. I looked on eBay but the prices were a little too high at around $150. I ended up finding it on Yahoo Auctions which a lot of people in Japan use but you have to live here to use it. There are actually some really good deals to be found. I found SFZ3 for $27 but there was a few days left I made a max bid on $100 and was doing pretty good it went up to $65 on the last day. However in the last half hour there were some bids and with about ten minutes left the price was at $100. I thought well that's it, ten minutes to go and I'm at my limit if anyone was to bid just 1 cent I would have lost but it never happened and I won. Yea it wasn't a super deal but it was a fair price for the game and I was actually able to find it.

I also got a delivery of a few things that I had ordered from Amazon. First was a Japanese text book I needed to get for my school. I finally went back to the converse shoes I used to have and had wanted since I changed shoes the last time I got new shoes. How many times can I say shoes? Finally I got the solder and solder wick for my controller project but I'm still waiting for the soldering iron (which was ordered at the same time).

Yesterday my wife and I went to the Italian place as I was opening the door the workers recognized me and greeted me with a "Oh Michael". I usually get the all you can drink and order tons of coke but due to my stomach issues lately I was going with water but later that night I was given a coke on the house... that's right special treatment.
