For the record, the first console set up at MAGFest was a Nintendo, so I could participate in this challenge. 


-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

Too bad that I didn't get another run in today. I think I would've actually had a shot at the top spot if I had put my regular amount of time in this week.

Okay everyone, it's prize time!  This is the first of what I hope will be many random prize giveaways this year for the Weekly Contests.  Remember, the more people who play each week, the more likely there could be a prize giveaway.  Low turnouts likely won't result in a giveaway, but not every high turnout week will be a random giveaway.  And that's the beauty of these things.  You never know when they are going to happen.  Anyway, this week's drawing isn't going to be for one prize, but three prizes in one!  That's not too shabby   The lucky winner will receive one cart only copy of Ghosts n' Goblins for the NES, plus Playstation TV download codes for downloadable content for The Lego Movie Video Game and Sly Cooper: Thieves of Time.  Ghosts n' Goblins is in great shape with no writing, no ripped labels, and is free of any other blemishes.  The game has been cleaned and tested on my front-loading NES and worked the very first time.  The winner will not be disappointed in this game   The download codes for the two Playstation games expire on March 31, 2016, so don't let them go to waste.  Here is a picture of the prizes (sorry for the blurry pic):



For those of you unfamiliar with the drawings, here's how they work.  I have assigned everyone who participated in the Super Mario Bros contest a number from 1 to 34.  I will use a random number generator to determine the winning number.  Since this is the first giveaway of 2016, everyone is eligible this time around (remember, participants can only win one random giveaway a year so everyone has a chance to win something).  Here is everyone's number:

1 - Mrs. Landers
2 - matt
3 - erizisto
4 - arnpoly
5 - MegaMartyr
6 - hitmantommy
7 - laddersandcakes
8 - Jandrem
9 - EgasKrad
10 - Brock Landers
11 - Milwaukee_Nintendo
12 - zobber
13 - Commander Santa
14 - gutsman004
15 - PDork87
16 - bertsampson
17 - RichardHead
18 - Kawaii_kills
19 - JamesRobot
20 - Philosoraptor
21 - BilltownSparty
22 - Vectrex280996
23 - rokubungi
24 - Ferris Bueller
25 - Red
26 - barrelsAndRivets
27 - Krunch
28 - TWarwick07
29 - alpenanews0506
30 - scaryice
31 - ne$_pimp
32 - kamakaze_ekun
33 - NostalgicMachine
34 - skinnygrinny

I will announce the winning number shortly.  Good luck everyone

I'm sure somebody will manage to 1cc it. I've beaten it a few times, but not without a handful of continues.

Could be worse.  I've never played 24 of the next 28 games on the slate.  Gonna be some rough waters ahead ;(

I have never played the game before mostly due to the reputation it has, but now I have no excuse. I am excited to see what the big outcry on difficulty is all about. Can't wait. Maybe by contest time I will be able to at least reach the participation points level lol.
