Hiatus


Well, unfortunately I have to throw this thing into hiatus again. This time it is packing- and a bit of it. I am packing everything up in boxes that I want to take back with me to school. Everything is going well so far- I managed to get some boxes at work. The only challenge that lays ahead is how I am going to get the USS Enterprise into a box- I picked two up that can be taped together so that the ship will fit in there. Otherwise, I will have to wrap up all of the deck components and pack the hull outside of a box with me inside my truck. My room is starting to look empty- I don't feel bad at all, and am very excited to get back to business. The room I have this year was occupied by a friend of mines last year, so I have been in the room. I do not know my roommate or suitemates, however my roommate claims he has met me before at the Super Smash Bros Brawl Tournament we had last year.


I want one of these! or rather, could I make one as an engineer?





In other news, NES get! I got a tip from a buddy at work about a gaming store in Freemansburg, PA that specialized in selling older games, imports and everything else. I went there to check it out and my brain nearly exploded- it's like this store carried everything I wanted and more. NES games, Super NES games, N64 titles, Playstation 2 games, Xbox games, and of course the newer generation stuff too. Anime plushes, Nintendo plushes, imports (Seaman 2!!!) as well as poster board standups.


I was (almost) in heaven. I bought their last NES on sale along with Ninja Gaiden (NES). The game is friggin hard; it's legitimatly hard and it's gonna take me a while to beat it. Otherwise, the NES does have an issue with blinking on and off, so I need to acquire a new 72 pin connector. I already popped this baby open and cleaned it thoroughly- and I still get problems. At least the system has worked and the motherboard is fine.
