Yer so I haven’t played many games at all this week. I’ve been playing black ops as usual (which I won’t talk about again), played some minecraft multiplayer, played a bit of scott pilgrim the game and umm I guess I’ll talk about about collecting video games. 

I play minecraft all the time, but I haven’t played a lot of multiplayer, but seeing as the game now runs (just) on Tanyas laptop, we thought we’d give it a try. It was actually pretty fun. I’m not sure why but just having someone else there makes everything about the game much more fun. Hopefully we’ll play some more of it soon. After I had messed around in the multiplayer I thought maybe I should try out some server mods. It was really fun just giving myself 64 TNT and absolutely destroying the map, I did remember to back up the map before I did all this. So yer pointless destruction is fun, who knew.

I finished the Scott Pilgrim game ages ago but I only found out yesterday that there’s multiple endings, so I figured I’d try and complete it with every character. I’ve already finished with Scott and Ramona, I thought Scotts ending was hilarious. Anyway I really like the Scott Pilgrim game, the soundtrack is awesome and the 16-bit graphics look amazing. Plus the story follows the books pretty well and there’s tones of little nods to the series. 

Right so this weeks post isn’t super short I figured I’d talk briefly about a recent experience with collecting video games. I’ve got all of the consoles I want for specific games, so any others I get are only if they’re really cheap. Today I bought a zx spectrum for that very reason. It was super cheap and came with 40 games. So I couldn’t really turn that down. So I take it home and of course it doesn’t turn on. I thought maybe it was the power supply so I looked around and my nes power supply was the same voltage, but had a lower amperage. I figured that it’d be fine so I put it in and the consoles light lit up. After that I unplugged it just to be safe and not cause it any damage. Now I knew the power supply was the problem I thought I’d check the fuse, so I open up the plug and there wasn’t a fuse. After replacing the fuse I think I’m finally good to go, but of course when I plug it in nothing happens. I think I may have shorted it out, because now the nes plug won’t work either. So the lesson learned from todays purchase is “don’t swap plugs”. On the plus side I still have all the games and while I was out I also got a couple of original xbox controllers for pennies, a really good condition original devil may cry and a dragon quest game. 

So thats it for this week sorry it was a bit short this week hopefully my random collection tale made up for it. Anyway I’ll leave you with a picture of my new wolves that replaced the ones that died last week (yer these aren’t allowed to leave the house)
