This Month's Haul - July, 2014

There's not much to talk about anyway. I missed the "to you" part of his question. I don't get heartburn about repros, unless they're games readily available digitally, which most aren't. I just was coming from a literal standpoint. They are piracy, just like Super Mario Bros. is absolutely not retro.

edit: If we want to get into feelings, we should ask ARBM, as I hear he perfectly represents the core gamer.

Super Mario Bros, not retro.

Super Mario Bros elements in Tetris DS, retro.

... and I got this, new in the box for $5! I hate this controller with a passion, but I intend to review it, so I'll get something out of it. I've seen loose ones go for twice that, so to find a new one with the box for cheap was nice.

I'm really amazed to this day they made a joystick like that. I'd always thought making something for a left-handed market was beyond fucking stupid.

Careful. After gays and women, maybe the southpaws will be in line to whine about inclusion. Beware the leftian trifecta especially.

And you the Corp Gamer.

I think we've got something here.

I'm left handed and i thought that stick was stupid.
Most of us from that era were arcade gamers. Why sega thought to go against the grain, I do not understand.
