New #guardians #ballcap arrived today, just in time for some #postseason #baseball!

It was a crapshoot, I got this #pcb from #korea & it’s the #usa board, which means I need to build a #kickharness since the US version is 6 buttons. Time to pull out the #arcademanual & figure this out. First impression: I love the whole look of this game. #technos #arcade #gaming #collecting

Watching & capturing the “What’s #shenmue ?” #vhs tape. It was #sega sneak peak to their masterpiece & it was crazy how much of #shenmueII is in this tape. My capture is live on my #youtube page: youtube.com/@outdatedreferences

From the moment I preordered this #reprint of #tmnt4 I never thought I would ever get an actual #firstprint of #teenagemutantninjaturtles issue 4. On the plus side, the #reprint is autographed by Michael Dooney, so that’s awesome.

#simpsons #attractionscreen by #konami. Weird cool time capsule of The Simpsons from season one. #arcade #gaming

Installed one of my new #pcb, a #konami #simpsons. Just realized it’s a 2 player board so I’m going to have to upgrade & swap some #eprom. Very happy to add this to my #collection. #arcade #gaming

Extra #pho broth canned and ready for later!

Dinner was a rousing success. Time to can the extra pho broth.

So this is my first ever attempt at pho ga aka chicken pho. Roasted the onion & ginger, boiling my chicken carcass with green onions. Using store bought gia vị phở gà for now. If I like it I might start buying the actual raw ingredients to keep in my ever growing spice shelf. Also Regrowing scraps.

For funsies, here is my #chihuahua Ezri sun bathing in the desert sun.

Started tearing down my #tmnt #arcadecab. Removed the #monitor for rebuilt, about to start body work soon. My #cpo will finally arrive tomorrow.Just need to verify the #powersupply voltage later this week.I need to drag a magnet for random screws & vacuum all the dirt. #tmolding ordered #babysteps

I opened the #kpop #demonhunters #cd and noticed a card inside, flipped it over and got a Zoey card. Right now, that’s awesome! #cawcaw #teamzoey

Both of these are #oem #simpsons #arcade #marquee. One was installed with an incandescent bulb & the other was just hung on a wall, never installed & used. When I complete my #tmnt rebuild, I’m definitely switching over to #led lighting.

I totally preordered #kpop #demonhunters #ost on #cd. Suck it. #teamzoey #cawcaw

Moving the #pinballtable was a huge pain. So I made a #pinballcart & finally moved the #pinball in place. I’ll get to doing a deep clean this weekend, it needs it.

Needed to make room for my old #bigben #pinball table so that means rearranging the #homearcade around. Updated the decor with new posters. Added #kof13 #samuraispirits3 #finalfight #vampiresavior & #svcchaos, moved old posters into the hallway to keep them away from sunlight. #arcade #gaming

I finally received my new #igspgm #cave #shmups #cartridges after a delivery mixup. These are awesome because no original carts were destroyed to make these as these use the #fluffy #pcb & build up with all new parts. #arcade #gaming

Oh neat! I found the missing piece! #simpsons #arcade #marquee #jigsaw

A couple of new #arcade #pcbs arrived this week. Will take very lazy intro videos of them later. For now, marvel at my handy taping skills. This #simpsons #marquee didn’t survive the mail. But I really do enjoy the feel & smell of office #konami #instructionmanual #arcade #collecting #retro

Picked these #spiderman #backissues because I really enjoyed the #graphicnovel & part 2 is also the #firstappearance of #hobiebrown aka #spiderpunk

#mailcall📬 : #uncannyxmen #backissues. Baby steps to completing my run from issue 100-300.

This week’s giveaway: Street Fighter 2 arcade, Blanka vs Chun-Li! Just repost and be following me to enter. I will pick a winner Sunday, August 24!

As a kid the concept of #cloakanddagger was one of the coolest things I saw. I wish they were more prevalent in comics today. So happy to add this to the collection. #firstappearance

I’m slowly filling in my #uncannyxmen collection with old #backissues from @alternaterealitycomicslv. I am slowly but surely getting there.

My #comicbook pickups from @alternaterealitycomicslv.

The only set of #marvelcards I owed as a kid was the #1992 #impel #xmen set drawn by @jimlee. No clue what happened to it. 100% Worth picking it up again.

Hell yeah! I got my kicking bag up in my back patio. Time to practice my combos.

#ultimatefallout4 is in my collection. #firstappearance #milesmorales 🇵🇷 Probably the only awesome #spiderman after #peterparker & there’s no way in hell I’ll be able to afford #og #spiderman ‘s origin book.

Our #chihuahua, #ezri, is just chilling with the #dragonquest #slime, #theavatarthelastairbender #appa, #savelowerdecks #moopsy & #gourdi La Forge because it’s a pumpkin. Get it? No? Bummer…

A bunch of #firstappearance added to my collection. #avengers #annual10 1st #rouge, #uncannyxmen130 1st #dazzler. #uncannyxmen266 1st #gambit & #marvelpremire15 1st #ironfist. Found two today & the graded arrived today in the mail.

Adam, Lou, & I went #comicbook-ing today at @alternaterealitycomicslv where I picked up my books & more #uncannyxmen #xmen back issues. I also got a first print of #tmnt issue 4. @decepticreep

Making a batch of #miso #mayak #eggs, aka #Korean marinated “drug” eggs. Supposed to be delicious & addicting like drugs, lol.

Only had one #comicbook to pickup today. So I felt it was a good time to pick up old #uncannyxmencomics #backissues. Also got a #startrek #ashcan issue too. :) Got most of #issues 180-189. @alternaterealitycomicslv

My #japanese #strategyguide(s) for the #supermario series. I have a few more to go to complete the set but I love flipping through these. #dokidokipanic #famicom #gameboy #retro #gaming

I needed to upgrade storage for my small but slowly growing #laserdis collection. Now I can keep all of my film ld, #laseractive games, #snk/#Capcom #videogame strategy lds, & the big collector boxes in one place. Repurpose #vinyl storage for LD goodness.

I have a small but growing collection of #japanese #strageyguides for the #marioseries. This is my first one for the #gameboy. Man, I love the hand drawn maps & the old book smell. #retro #gaming

Went to Michael’s to get some discounted frames. The #batmananimatedseries came out nice. I had a very ratty #snkvscapcomchaos #poster that surprisingly looks great framed & the #gamergirl needed to be reframed because I damaged the plexiglass on the original frame. #gaming #arcade #cartoon

Got an amazing poster with signatures of some of the show runners of #batmantheanimatedseries as a birthday gift. Big thank you to my friends who got this. I got a frame today & need to find a good spot to hang it. 🙂

Received an old #arcade #soundtrack I’ve been searching for a bit. It’s the #konami #amusementsounds93 which featured the #ost of #martialchampion #metamorphicforce & #premiersoccer. I mainly wanted it for Metamorphic Force. There’s even the sheet music inside the manual! #konami KICA 7620-21

My buddy got me a neat #billykane #snk #stirstick, for my birthday, that goes with my #geesehoward #wiskeyglass set, he got me last year. A beautiful replication of the #fatalfury #garoudensetsu ending. If you know, you know. 😛 #neogeo #arcade #tchotchkes #collectables

Received my #japaneseb1 frame from @wall_bonito last week & got around to framing my #kofxiii poster this weekend. Man I love a nicely framed #arcade poster. It makes me smile.

I found this book, Deathmate Black, in a bargain bin, decades ago & wanted to transfer it into a thick #comicbook holder by #cardarchiver. The book isn’t worth much but I love all of the signatures on this cover. I found this flyer inside, now I know who signed this book!

I like the #cardarchiver case is almost the same size as a #cgcslab. It’s small enough to stack right into the cgc slab.

Received my #rtype #arcade #teeshirt from @redbubble today by artist #jorditarrats. Comfy shirt & awesome design. Strong recommend.

Picking up my comics & noticed this in the case, #newmutant87, the first appearance of #cable! Big thanks to @alternaterealitycomicslv for magically having the books I want. 😛

I finally got my copy of #lunar remastered collection for the #xboxseriesx & I made sure to not get priced gouge either. Patience is key. I still on the hunt for #lunar2 for the #segacd.

A combinations of the past few weeks of books. The one book I’m most excited to add to my collection is #newmutants98. Big thank you to Ralph at @alternaterealitycomicslv for this book. Excited to add it to my small collection of slabbed books.

Playing some #projectneon on my #supergun & testing which #neogeo controller feels best. It has to go to the compact #neogeocd clicky stick controller. Feels smooth and just great. #fullset #mvs #retro #arcade #gaming

I missed out on this game in the past & super happy to get in on the 3rd batch of #projectneon for the #neogeo #mvs. It was exciting to choose which label should go on the cart. Correct answer: the cool one, duh. #fullset #arcade #gaming #shmups #pewpew

#gex arrived today for the #panasonic #3do. I only ever played the port on the #ps1 & happy to have this added to my slowly growing 3DO library. #retro #gaming
