Going to listen to it tonight....try to guess it.



Why do BB employees think I give 2 shits about them wanting to get off work, so they can go play Battlefield 3.....when I'm buying a movie? This wasn't the first time I got something not game related and the cashier tried to start a conversation about games.

Were you wearing a gaming t-shirt? Or maybe they just picked up that "gamer" aroma. Ha.

They do this shit all the time, but usually because I'm watering a Halo T-shirt.

Having gotten through 2/5ths of the Main Campaign and MOUNTAINS of side-missions/instances/time trials/rampages/co-op on Defiance, I can firmly say...

It's not a sit-down and finish in a week game.*

I've murdered so many bugs, mutants and raiders that I should get an honorary seat amongst the Four Horseman of the Apocalypse for the amount of ass I've stomped.

And yet, I still find time to grind XP and go looking for tape recorders so I have the small chance of getting a new hat/set of clothes/nametag to go with my character.

*understandablely since it's a shooter/MMO

NES Game 'Holy Grail' Found for $8

A gamer’s $8 Goodwill find has turned into a windfall of at least $12,000.

An unidentified woman bought the super-rare collectible NES game Family Fun Fitness: Stadium Events at a Goodwill thrift store in North Carolina. She is now auctioning the rare game on GameGavel, a video game auction site. The current bid is at $12,000, and there are still six days left on the listing.

She recognized the “Holy Grail” of the Nintendo NES, and recalled its fame from an eBay auction a few years prior for a group of games that fetched over $10,000 due to Stadium Events’ inclusion.

According to her interview on GameGavel, she is planning to use the money she makes from the auction to pay off her student debt.

This isn’t the first time a casual discovery has netted a gamer several thousand dollars. Red Sea Crossing, an independently-developed 1983 game for the Atari 2600, earned its owner $10,000 in a 2007 auction. Last year, a copy of Air Raid fetched $33,000.

When a copy of Stadium Events surfaced in 2011 it sold for $38,000.
