First article for me. Curious what the community thinks...

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

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.

It's certainly an article that hits home for me. I remember very similar feelings when starting to explore NA, and meeting people from the site in person significantly helped speed up the process of feeling more comfortable. Now we have a really good local group that meets up semi-regularly, and constantly share finds with each other.

I didn't even know you could collect closets, but I'm glad you switched to Nintendo.

I was touched by the solid shout out for the referral. I dont mention na to every local person I buy or trade games with out there, but the ones I can tell are truly passionate and heck, actually want to talk Nintendo for a while, will definitely hear from me how awesome of a resource na is, and Ferris was clearly in that category just 5 min after talking to him even though we must have talked for like 45 mins.

Now I am curious, do you guys tell everyone you meet about na? Or do you feel them out first? Personally I kind of don't want to be responsible for referring someone that will instantly go in the hall of shame, so I kind of judge it.

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

Know any NES cartridge variants that I don't have on this list?

Let me know if you have confirmed any that I need to add! Thanks!

I enjoyed this article. It feels good to meet others who have similar interests and be part of a group that accepts you.
