Update 4 (Nov 15, 2012): Got it back!  Boo-yeah!  Just got it delivered back to me 5 minutes ago.  Funny thing is I didn’t mention it before, but the local repair place Costco gets to fix stuff has a old man come in a van to take away and deliver back the TV.  He has [...]

Well, if you read my cheapskate post, you’d realize I try to scrimp and save as much as I can on games.  The other GamerVets are similar.  Why pay $60 when you can find deals making the game $40? Today was another session of cheapassery, but it took extra effort as I had to drive [...]

This is the first post of our newly created Junkyard section.  Anything we can’t really categorize we’re going to put here.  Enjoy!  Should I put something I am proud of?  Maybe something funny instead?  Maybe something embarrassing.  How does two out of three sound? Funny.  Embarrassing.  Deadly Shit.  Shitty Towers.  Deadly Towers. Why I Bought [...]
