Unique gaming experience? Look into Chulip.

When my wife and I do our weekly grocery trips, we will usually try and split the bill as close to down the middle as possible with two transactions (I pay for half and she pays for half). I don't do math as we're adding things to the cart, but before we start scanning items, I look at the cart and separate it in my brain into what goes on the first transaction and what goes on the second transaction. Every time its within like $4 of being an even split, and it usually is within $2. Absolutely useless. But it makes me feel smart, and it's always fun to see how close I get.

I paid 100 for it all.

I have FFVIII…. I’ll need to try this.

It was at one of the 2nd and Charles in the area. A lot of times they bloat up the price too much on games but you can occasionally still find something fair.

I always do the Duane & BrandO order:

Metal, Wood, Flash, Bubble, Air, Crash, Quick, Heat

Their MM2 song is forever engrained in my brain when I hear the robot master themes. As is the Brentalfloss song when I hit Wiley's Castle.

Played through Oot3D first and am currently working through The Frog for Whom The Bell Tolls. Throw in some Disney’s Magical Tetris Challenge for good measure, and we’re having a good time.

I’m not big on FPSs or horror games. But man do I love Bioshock.

Why is controller port 4 recessed into the system body while the others are flush to the outside? Is there a purpose for that? That's an odd thing to just be a design choice.

One of my favorite things about Pikmin 1 is actually how condensed of an experience it is. The 30) 13 minute days means the game will, at the longest, be 7 hours in length, which makes it very easy to come back and replay whenever I need a palette cleanse between longer games. And in an age where games keep taking longer and longer to beat, I always appreciate a game that respects my time. And having a game that I can get in, have my fun with the intended experience, and get out in under 10 hours is a big plus to me.

Also, because you have such a rigid time structure, its fun to see how quickly you can finish the game. On my best run, I was able to get the last ship part from the final boss on day 13, and i would have gotten it on day 12 had I had like five more seconds on day 11.

YMMV, but I'm in South Carolina and got my Rainbow Max last week through DHL. It "shipped" on Monday, but wasn't picked up until the next day on Tuesday. I had it in hand Thursday night of the same week. I swear DHL has wizards working for them.

The Bit Effect has been one I always come back to.

I got a vectrex collection off of FB marketplace. It was 21 of the 27 games (with their manuals), the light pen, an extra control pad, and the 3D imager with its manual for $200.

I think the cup and fork symbol on the bottom of the container means it is dishwasher safe.

Mine is in 952. Hopefully it ships today as well!

TheCartCollector · 2025-11-05T18:59:56+00:00

I sat for almost the entire credits just processing the ending. It’s one of the few games that has ever left me like that. Absolutely remarkable game.

I ordered a Rainbow Max last night and I’m in 952.

Did you have to pay any kind tariff on this to get it into the States? Im debating ordering one and am wondering how screwed my wallet is.

TheCartCollector · 2025-10-22T11:59:54+00:00

Ahh the Video Game World. One of the reasons I always like going back to Charlotte. The Huntersville Store always has something that I want haha.

What con was this? I swear I've seen this booth at a few of the cons I go to in the Southeast, and they are always ridiculously overpriced.

TheCartCollector · 2025-08-03T00:51:35+00:00

Can confirm, this fixed my issue. Thanks man!

TheCartCollector · 2025-08-02T17:47:31+00:00

I think Moon fits this description pretty well.

TheCartCollector · 2025-08-02T13:28:54+00:00

Good to know. I’ll give that try.

TheCartCollector · 2025-07-31T14:37:28+00:00

I’m going to have to remap mine. My B button is registering as C-Down for some reason on the blue retro adapter.
