Finally went and ordered The Untold History of Japanese Game Developers, so very happy to start reading that. Also went to Bookmans today, brought in some old junk/books from the garage and asked for store credit. Made out with Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, Clockwork Knight 2, Dragon Warrior Monsters, and a Rilo Kiley CD.
I've been really really craving Resident Evil recently and have been thinking about binging on the series. Cool thing about the gamecube is that you can play every single one of the core Resident Evil games (except for the original version of 1) from the first game to 4 on just the gamecube alone -- plus they're the definite versions as far as I know.
Also, quite into Clockwork Knight and never played the second one.
Dragon Warrior Monsters is a childhood game of mine and it was in perfect condition for $20 -- i'm pretty sure it's worth more than that... but nostalgia will likely make me keep it... at least for a while.
Rilo Kiley isn't game related, but the band was recommended to me because I like Elliott Smith, and I figured it was worth a listen.
Haven't bought games is a long while, but these were practically free, thanks to the wonderfully mysterious money-giving garage.
