@itchyeyeball, perfect thing to bring with to a swap/meet-up, which I've kinda been bugging everyone to do. I've got the game itself, but for the right price I'd almost be interested in it. If you try and return it, just keep in mind that if the price dropped in their system since you bought it, they'll only give you the lowest price they sold it for, since they can't track what you actually paid without a receipt.

@bigsick, I'd like to. Black Friday weekend is gonna be a crazy time for dedicated CAGs, and it's a great time to have a swap right after it. If not that weekend, maybe the first weekend of December would be cool too.

If people want to commit to a date, I could set something up for the group at Galloping Ghost Arcade again. Just need to lock a date down, then start locking down names for people who are definately in. If anyone wants to get an idea of what this arcade is all about who didn't attend last time, tonight is the night to do it. 190N on ABC is running their feature on the place tonight at 10:35p.m. Check it out or set your DVRs. Don't know how long it will be(probably only like 5 minutes), or what it will entail but the camera crew was there for hours. If you can't watch it live they're gonna have video of it up on their facebook page here.. http://www.facebook.com/#!/group.php?gid=312550418372

I paid 35 plus tax. If you want it how about 35 even? The outer sleeve is beat, but it's still sealed inside.

Otherwise, anyone got any tasty trades?

Any Chicago CAGs looking for one of the 2TB hard drives at Target, or the 1TB portable one, go to the Addison store. After striking out at a couple of stores this morning I hit the jackpot. 2 full endcaps at 5pm. They must've had a hundred of them easy. This company's distribution methods are baffling. Store in Evanston today had 0 and the guy told me they were gone by 4:15am, as they only had a handful. Also grabbed an Endless Ocean Blue World for 7.48 but it was the only copy I saw.

Damn, I don't get paid until Friday and I'm sure that the price will go back up by then.
I'm still looking for a copy of Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 but haven't had any luck.

Saw this story on Kotaku and thought it'd be helpful for some of us. it's about the Galloping Ghost. Apparently the second biggest arcade in the U.S. and right in our backyard.

Very nice. Great to know that we have a video game gold mine but sad that the rest of the country misses out really.

Thread is dead...

The snow can burn in hell.

have you done any BBV runs?

Glad someone else got the thread going again. I was going to post something the other day.
I've been meaning to check out a BBV by my school but 1.) ing homework 2.) This snow is really cramping my style. I agree, though, about the snow being cool for oooooh, another month.
There's been some pretty good deals lately, but nothing too crazy on games I've been dying to play. Now that I'm a broke student I look for deals on Goozex more than anywhere else. Got Medal of Honor coming in the mail soon. Is it as bad as they say?
Yes, I'm bored.

200 pages of Chicago awesomeness!

So how did you guys do on Black Friday? Any good finds?

I raped and pillaged.

I'm planning on visiting the Galloping Ghost next Saturday, sometime after noon, if anyone else wants to hang out.

I don't have anything to trade, though.

I just checked FB and Doc said Killer Instinct is up. Saturday would work for me.

Did you guys ever get together for the December 4th meet up?

I've only been the one time. I'm bringing a co-worker and his 17-year-old son next weekend. I don't think the boy has ever been to a real arcade before. Plus, I'm excited to play some new games that may not have been working last time.

I actually went about 2 weeks ago with a friend of mine and set the house record on Super Puzzle Fighter My friend starting playing Killer Instinct like it was '95 again, but unfortunately it all slipped away from me with that game. Still love that soundtrack though. I'm always down to go, so if you guys will be there I'll try and swing by. Unemployment brings with it boredom, plus I just love the place. BF I scored a decent haul for myself, but missed out on anything really great to trade. Was hoping to land some LOTR Trilogies, but couldn't get it to work out.
