I'm such a whore...
« on: April 20, 2006, 09:00:26 PM »
Well, I was out scavaging the used stores today to see what I could find... After not finding much of anything (An SNES Mouse/Pad for $5, a stand that I'll be posting about in the general section for $6 and an NES RF modulator for $.50), I came across...

A second hand GameBoy Micro.  Black, with the three Faceplates and charger... $50.  In almost perfect condition.

I had to have it.

I'm such a whore.

A glooming peace this morning with it brings;
The sun, for sorrow, will not show his head:
Go hence, to have more talk of these sad things;
Some shall be pardon'd, and some punished:
For never was a story of more woe
Than this of Sega and her Mashiro.

It's absolutly beautiful.  It makes me really want a DS Lite...

I was playing some Dr. Mario on it just now...  I think I'm going to be playing some old GBA games again.  Which sucks, because I've got Odama, Brain Training, Tetris and a slew of other games to play as well.  I need a job where all I do is play games.  Not review them, or test them or any such thing... just where someone pays me to sit around and play whatever games I want...

Maybe you could get a job as a security guard....

edit: oh, as for the micro, keep it out of reach of pets. And check your pockets before doing laundry from now on.

Damn, I really wish whatever was going on with my phone wasn't right now.  I got an interesting NES Stand today that I want to show off, but my phone doesn't seem to want to send pictures right now... ?:|

Anywhoo, I don't have any pets and I *always* check pockets.  Twice, usually.

It's fifty bucks. Pretty much what the Micro is worth. Hell, Four Swords Adventures Playercount UP!

Nope... there's no Micro -> GCNLink.  Well, no official one, and I can't make one...

Damn, Nintendo rocks the world.

I e-mailed (and then called) Nintendo about an issue with the GameBoy Micro regarding the sound (compaired it to someone else's and it's not as loud and is just a wee bit fuzzy).

They're replacing my GameBoy Micro.

Under it's warranty (i.e.: for free).

With a Famicom Edition.

This, my friends, is why I love Nintendo.

Technically your Micro is under warranty, since all of the systems are less than a year old.
I think it says on the box, 'No Hispanics' " - Jeff Green of EA

I believe the warranty only applies to the original owner.  Since UB purchased his used, the warranty is technically void.  

Although, Nintendo would have no way of knowing that unless (a) they asked for proof of purchase or (b) the original owner registered his system at nintendo.com.
Why must all things be so bright? Why can things not appear only in hues of brown! I am so serious about this! Dull colors are the future! The next generation! I will never accept a world with such bright colors! It is far too childish! I will rage against your cheery palette with my last breath!
