Old schoolin' it


Old schoolin' it, originally uploaded by Atelier Cupcake.

So I've been on a real retro gaming kick lately and the more I get into it the more I go back in time XD I recently found 2 more of my old NES cartridges from my childhood at my mom's house and have been playing these for old time's sake. I am dying to find a top loading NES in good condition and amplify my collection. I will also be doing a vid on my NES collection as soon as I can. I need to get done with the DS one first though XD

I've mentioned previously on my profiles that one of my first gaming experiences was on my bothers Commodore 64 when I was about 5 years old and this PC came out way back in 80's. Well I was talking to my other brother today and he told me that he had bought a C64 from a friend not too long ago. I almost jumped for joy when he looked it up for me and let me borrow it to see if it was working so I will be making a Youtube vid soon about this awesome find and how we get it to work since we still haven't hooked it up. I am so geekely excited to try this out as I have so many fond memories of playing on it as a child :)

Mayaguez Game Expo 2011

We went to the Mayaguez Game Expo on April 2nd, 2011. We had a ton of fun watching the cosplayers and browsing the dealers room. I bought 2 Lucky Star figures and a handmade plushie, I'll be taking pics of the plushie soon. All the cosplayers were really nice and there were some amazing costumes. I especially loved the Okami girl one and the Deku Scrub. Sadly the Okami didn't win anything but the deku scrub did win. Here are some pics of the Expo:

I am truly and majorly obsessed with Lucky Star. This anime makes me laugh like nothing else can. It is packed full of gaming, otaku and other nerdy references for those of us who love this kind of stuff. I recently went to a convention and picked up two Lucky Star figures: Yutaka (this one) and one of Miyuki I will post later.
