Yesterday I received a package in the mail from my friend Jennie! It took me a day and a half to gather my wits in order to try and write some semblance of a thank you to her for her unreal gift. She told me several weeks ago that she was cleaning out her closet and came across several bins of N.E.S. related goodness. Well a package containing many of these goodies showed up on the doorstep. I was absolutely floored by what was inside this cardboard dwelling and her thoughtfulness has slowly coaxed me out of my shell and prompted me to try my hand at a video blog.
Now I should preface this by saying that I have no experience in video production and I drink nearly a pot of coffee every day so my hands shake badly. I poked fun at myself so no one else would have to state the obvious in that I broke rule one of the youtube bible: the unnecessary posting of vertical videos. Link to the video is below, but to keep this blog somewhat succinct I will finish this with the update portion (spoilers for those who want to watch the video)

Today I received the following: Codename: Viper (with box), Punisher (with box), Battlechess (CIB), Iron Tank (with box), Startropics (box), Karnov (with box). In addition, she sent several loose carts: Gauntlet (the black Tengen version), Legends of the Diamond, Double Strike, The Mafat Conspiracy, Jeopardy Jr. Edition, Double Dragon 3, & 1942.
The standouts for me are: Double Dragon 3 (hands down), 1942 (which replaced my infamous masking tape cartridge - see video for more explanation), and Double Strike. These wonderful games bring my cartridge total to: 432. Thanks once again Jennie! I promise to give them a good home.
Here's a link to my fledgling Vlog/thank you:
