Mrs. Pac-Man

Small update today, busy doing nothing watching the NFL playoffs, showing off some more video game tattoo art.  This one is actually courtesy of my girlfriend, it's a cute little Mrs. Pac-Man.  I really like the way this one was stylized, and the little pills are actually representing the number "13" because she got it on Friday the 13th.  Happy Sunday everyone!

Maximum Unboxing

I'm 12 and what is this :(

Today's awesome update will be written in RED to maximize the awesomeness of what seems to be everyone's favorite guilty pleasure from their retro gaming days...Maximum Carnage!  Yes It's true I totally trashed this game in a past review, but I got such a positive number of comments about it that I thought I'd give you bad game lovers some eye candy.  Enjoy!

The cartridge inside is RED!! My life is complete.

Not forever Stallone anymore!

We match :)

...lol

 Hope all of you enjoyed that, and on a side note, if you have any ideas for new vidya game tattoos for me, feel free to post them in the comments.  If I like it, I will get it and show it off here <3

Continuing to update

Hey followers, I had to delete some stuff, you might notice alot of my older posts are gone. However, I will continue to post updates, and show all of you support the best that I can.  Please continue to show me some support I will continue to do the same cause I love reading all of your blogs :)  Here's a picture of Battletoads for the SNES that I picked up yesterday!  I wonder if Gamestop will be getting any more in stock?

Retro Game Guide Part 1: Becoming a Collector

Disregard Princesses, Acquire Coins

So you want to start collecting classic games huh?  Slow down there sparky, we have alot of work to do!     It takes time, and effort.  I've been hunting down rare gems at flea markets and my local game stores for years.  The great thing is, video games have taken a few steps up on the geek ladder in the past decade, so considering this as a hobby(obsession) will not make you as much as a mouth-breathing social outcast as you might think.  Don't expect to be swimming in girl Lake though, when you start rambling on about how "revolutionary" the gameplay was in Gunstar Heroes. 

Step 1: Research

Know what you're looking for, and know what you're getting yourself into.  One of my first recommendations is to start searching for games on Ebay, get an idea of where the market stands.  Pick up a gaming guide like Digital Press as well.  These will become invaluable tools in your search for meaningless nostalgia.  Researching what games are worth  isn't about making money though, it's about knowing owning something of artificial value.  Sure, you could potentially sell that mint, non-Greatest Hits Copy of Final Fantasy 7 to pay for you and your Girlfriend(Hand) to have a nice dinner, but then that would just make you a normal person.  Being a Retro Game collector isn't about being normal, it's about KNOWING you are better than the keystone-light chugging Bro masses who buy up the latest Copy of Madden and Call of Duty every year.

"If only Squaresoft could make me a real woman sigh..."

 Part 2 tomorrow!

Creepy: Barney's Hide and Seek Game

What are you doing in that Dreamcast Barney?  You don't even fit you're a Genesis cartridge

Today I bring you a video game called Barney's Hide and Seek Game.

...Do I really need to say anything?

In this foul endeavor, you play as Barney the purple Dinosaur and ready to find some  kids who have not-so cleverly hidden themselves around many colorful, obnoxious levels.  That wouldn't be so bad, if it were not for the event that happens every time you find said children:  Barney picks them up, and gives them a big, long "hug".  Now, if the image of a middle-aged man walking around in a Dinosaur suit, picking up small children and telling them he loves them didn't set off your Megan's Law alarm bells enough, perhaps this poorly photoshopped image will.

Now I realize this is meant to be a children's game, and the barney TV show was very popular in 1993(Thanks Generation X parents!) but imagine if you were a kid on Christmas, you begged your Mom for a copy of Sonic The Hedgehog, and instead she shoved this down your throat because she didn't like the look of that mischievous blue critter.  In fact, I can't think of another situation for a parent actually wanting to buy this game for their kid.
