Yes, I know. Here I go again. I jumped on another Craigslist seller's post and was smiling all the way through. Admittedly, I didn't know what all games where included when I headed down to buy the lot due to bad cell phone pics. But can you guess the moment that the shaking and excitement started...?
So, listing description:
Older teen in a smaller town south of here posted a CL listing for 45 NES games for $40. I will say that many were in dire need of some 409 and a rag, and I have not tested them all yet, but here is what the lot contained.
Notables:
Castlevania II: Simon's Quest [Oval Seal]
Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse
Donkey Kong Classics [Oval Seal] - $7 on VGPC
G.I. Joe: The Atlantis Factor - $14 on VGPC GO JOE!
Metal Storm (some label damaged) - $17.50 on VGPC
Metroid [3 Screw w/Oval Seal] (x2) - $7 on VGPC
Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six (minor label peeling) - $7 on VGPC
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project - $10 on VGPC
AND FINALLY............
R.C. Pro-AM II - $35+ on VGPC . Sometimes selling for much more, and in great condition after cleaning. The total asking price was barely more than the single most valuable game!
Remaining games (and many were duplicates therefore trade bait. Check my FS/T list):
10-Yard Fight [3 Screw], Adventures of Dino Riki, The, Astyanax, Base Wars: Cyber Stadium Series, Bases Loaded II: The Second Season, Bigfoot, Blaster Master [Oval Seal], Captain Skyhawk, Casino Kid, City Connection [Round Seal], Golf [3 Screw w/Round Seal], Karate Kid, The [Round Seal], Kung Fu [3 Screw w/Round Seal], Laser Invasion, Legend of Zelda, The [Classic Series] (ripped label), Life Force, Mickey Mousecapade [Round Seal] (x2), Millipede [Round Seal], Pinball [3 Screw w/Round Seal], R.C. Pro-AM, Rad Racer II, RoboCop, Seicross, Short Order/Egg-Splode!, Silent Service, Silkworm, Stealth ATF, Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt [Seal of Quality] (x2), Tecmo World Wrestling, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Tetris 2, Tetris [Nintendo], Ultimate Stuntman, The.
Yeah. this was seriously worth it.
1) Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (360)
2) Red Dead Redemption (360)
3) Deus Ex: The Conspiracy (PS2)
4) Sonic Spinball (Gen)
5) Perfect Dark (N64)

Ok, so i lied about getting anything actually beaten from the actual list. Things have been a bit crazy preparing for + going to Otakon. (went as bob-omb + Engineer from TF2...pics coming eventually) Then convention ran fri-sun...so since we got there on thirs, it seemed only natural to play video games with my roommates. around midnight, long after everyone else was asleep, me and my friend frank beat Contra!
Contra really needs no introduction or review. It is good...go play it. I do have one real question...why is the final boss a nutsack?
also, side note: while @ otakon, picked up an amazing ps2 controler!  new in box for 15$!!!!
till next time

Official Backlog Count: 208
Alrighty! I am back, and better than ever! To celebrate the first entry of my revamped Blog, Hardcore Old-School, I'm going to talk about Arcade Games!
Arcade Games. For many older gamers, they are a great source of Nostalgia. I'm sure that if you ask any gamer who was between the ages of 10-20 in the 80's/90's about Arcade Games, they'll go on forever about them. Hell, even I'll do that, despite being just a kid in the 90's. I love Arcade Games. However, these games have one major flaw. That flaw is they're punishing difficulty.
I'm not sure exactly why they're so difficult. The only reason I can think of is that Arcade Game Designers really wanted money. In short, they would develop super difficult, but addictive games that would eat away at your hard earned allowance.
One of my particular favorites is Street Fighter The Movie.
Now, before you turn away from this entry in disgust or give me all kinds of crap about how it sucks, acknowledge a few things for me:
1. The game was NOT developed by Capcom.
2. It's fighting engine is based on Aerial Attacks and "juggling" opponents.
3. Jean-Claude Van Damme is pretty cool.
OK, now feel free to quit reading, or just keep reading.
Now, while this game is one of my favorites, it's VERY difficult. Make even one mistake while fighting your opponent, and it's game over for you. By default, the game is set to Medium, which I found out by using the MAME Emulator. It may as well be on the hardest difficulty though, because if I haven't stressed it enough already, this game is hard. 
Another example of difficult Arcade Games is this:
As you may be aware, I reviewed the NES Version of Bad Dudes a while back. While that version is difficult, this version ups that difficulty 3x.
My point is, Arcade Games are tough, and not for the casual gamer. They are certainly good fun though. 
This is ReddMcKnight, signing off!
Uhhh...Right. As you can all see, I recently posted an entry on my Blog stating that I was leaving RFGeneration. Well, after reading several comments on that Entry, I've come to realize that I was wrong for trying to leave.
I honestly don't know what the hell I was thinking. I guess I was just in some kind of slump, which led me to believe that there was just no point in continuing to update this Blog.
Anyway, I guess I'm here to stay. Your friendly neighborhood Nintendo Man isn't going anywhere.
...What? That's it. Go home already! I'll update the Blog with a real entry later!
This really does stay true to its original. After Ubisoft gave Rayman a 3-D sequel, they decided that the coupe de grace of side-scrolling platformers (it's been re-released for 15 years now) had earned itself a second go:
 
What we have here is a revamp of one of the most iconic platformers of all time. Rayman mocks the concept of its predecessor while giving players all new ground to cover. After beating the game, I can safely say that this Game Boy Color exclusive is just as brilliant, challenging, and fun as its brethren. You might as well call this a sequel to the 2-D masterpiece, since it takes a lot from the original, but gives brand new levels. Once again, Ubisoft has taken everything great about platforming, added some of their own spices, and created quite a tasty quadrito(1).
:::HOME TO POCKET:::
 ---> 
Now that's definitely a visual masterpiece. I don't remember a 2-D anything on the PS1 looking that good (even some of the newer 2-D games can't compete.) Rayman on the GBC is more lush in color than most games on the console, giving it that same sense of visual dominance. They both have perfect controls, which are simple and easy to use. Add complex level designs, and you've got yourself a fine gem. Less is more.
HOME TO POCKET Verdict: It's the same game, but with different levels, 8-bits, and no boss fights. Wait... NO BOSS FIGHTS!?!?!
Well, there technically is one kickass final boss, but all that does is make you wonder why Ubisoft cut such a huge corner. The original had loads of boss fights, and they were all awesome!! But why not here? Was Ubisoft in a hurry?
But that was not a hindrance to my experience. The challenging gameplay is more than enough to keep you busy. After you beat the game, you have the option of going back and rescuing all the Toons for 100% completion. Then you unlock a new set of levels, along with a Time Trial Mode. Time Trial mode? That's as much replayability as a racing game!!
Here's a couple quick examples of how variety-tastic this game can be:
<![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/h9grKmRfUJg&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/h9grKmRfUJg&rel=0</a>]]> <![CDATA[<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/kyNJL0cD1Ew&rel=0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/kyNJL0cD1Ew&rel=0</a>]]>
(Not my videos.)
If there's one thing that needs credit all, then it's the brilliantly clever level designs. That giant grape can be used to bounce down a spiky hill, or get stuck on an enemies head and be used as a moving platform. If there was an item or a type of obstacle, it was milked for every possible situation that could have ever been thought of, without copying the same situation twice or harming the exotic variety. True genius.
Final Thoughts:
I'm impressed that they were able to keep track of all your data with a 10 character password system, because there was a lot of game to be offered. I may have beaten it, but I still plan on taking it off the shelf sometime, and beat me some Time Trial records.
Don't let the lack of bosses turn you away. If you're a fan of platformers at all, then I highly recommend Rayman. Its not commonly played, but its very affordable. I scored my copy for only 2$ plus shipping. You owe it to yourself to sacrifice a Starbucks beverage for hours of colorful platforming.
VOCAB:
(1) Quadrito: Take one burrito, wrap a burrito around it, place both inside of a third burrito, and finish it off with an all encompassing fourth burrito.

And Tuesday evening I went to pick up the sega lot i won off gamegavel from nes-rules for $20.00.
This auction was for two Genesis 2 units, with 9 total games, 4 controllers, and an AC adapter. The AC adapter included is not an original, but the specs are exactly the same as the original.

and a gameboy advance case a mario coveralls NDS case and AN Xbox 360 backpack that im pretty sure was a promotional offer from kelloggs in 2007.
Then I stopped at a yardsale And got like 200 VHS tapes and 10 dvds for $15.00 and this was mixed in.
I had a great collecting day on Saturday. I added 4 consoles(mentioned below) and over 50 games to the collection and the prices were outstanding. I was able to trade a single Virtual Boy game plus a minimal $ for a CIB Nintendo 64 system, buy multiple hockey games for different systems for $0.50 each, added two original Playstations (7001 & 9001) for a total of $4, and added an Atari Flashback console to my collection for free - Thanks RM.
So now I'm curious what I should offer/consider reasonable for an original Sega Saturn system CIB that I found for sale today. It is somewhat difficult to trust eBay or VGPC when most sales are with games and acc. or without box.
And inquiry #2 would be what everyone's favorite Saturn games are, if I am going to try it out. Tell me all about it/them. I enjoy all the stories.
I heard someone complain about how we don't talk anymore, so let's discuss a bit.
...Or So Many Games, So Little Time (And Money)!
TAKE TWO AFTER MY ORIGINAL POST SOMEHOW DISAPPEARED WHILE I WAS EDITING IT!!  Save early and often!!!
Hello everyone and welcome to my first post! In my first six months here at RFG, I've been mostly a lurker, reading quite a few blogs but only commenting maybe once or twice. Mainly I've just been using RFG to keep track of my collection, which at the moment is pretty modest in size compared to most users here, but everyone's gotta start somewhere, right!? 
Anyway, I found some pretty cool stuff at the flea market yesterday and thought I'd share my findings with you all!
THE (ALMOST) COMPLETE HAUL
JAMES BOND MADNESS! Yes, I know this site is mostly for video games and whatnot, but I'm a massive fan of the James Bond series, and my first find of the day were these three collectible cars/cards for the movies On Her Majesty's Secret Service, For Your Eyes Only, and The Spy Who Loved Me. The seller also had the one for Dr No, which I already have, otherwise I would've cleaned him out of these!
BATTING SECOND: KEN GRIFFEY JR AND FIVE NES GAMES Next up from one of the video game 'stores' at the market were a boxed-with-manual (condition about 9/10) Ken Griffey Jr's Slugfest for N64 and five NES games -- a boxed-without-manual (condition about 6/10, but with the styrofoam!) Bandai Golf: Challenge Pebble Beach, and loose carts of Othello, BurgerTime, standalone Super Mario Bros, and Pro Wrestling.
Back in the day, I nearly broke both of our (my brother and I) Nintendo 64 controllers playing so many games of Griffey Jr's Slugfest -- damn those come-from-behind victories by the computer -- so I traded it in, and missed it just about ever since!
I've never had Bandai Golf, Othello, BurgerTime, or standalone SMB so I thought I'd give 'em a whirl since the price was right! But we did have Pro Wrestling way back when we first got our new NES with SMB/Duck Hunt; it was among the first games we got (along with Ice Hockey, T&C Surf Design, and Zelda II!) from our cousins when they were trading in their original NES (with R.O.B. the Robot!) in order to get a Sega Genesis. Of course a few years later we traded in Pro Wrestling in order to get some newer games, so it should be fun to fire it up again! A WINNER IS YOU!
GUIDE MY WAY I find it pretty amusing that I paid five times more for the GUIDE for Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles than I did for the GAME which I picked up at Goodwill a few weeks ago. The guide was from another of the video game 'stores' in the market, which has an amazing selection of video game goodness (like complete-in-box Final Fantasy for NES, a Famicom cart of Dragon Quest II, dozens of boxed N64 games, hundreds of games for seemingly every system ever made, etc.) but mostly out of my price range, unfortunately.
Next up was the red GBA SP carry case with Wave Race, Bugs Bunny Crazy Castle, and the Jungle Book (torn label) for Game Boy and Blades of Steel for Game Boy Color. I pretty much was just interested in the carry case and Wave Race, but the seller threw in the other games for a bargain!
JAMES BOND MADNESS TAKE TWO! As I mentioned before, I am a huge James Bond fan, so I couldn't pass up 14 James Bond flicks on VHS for $10, even though I already have them all on DVD! These pickups nearly completes my Bond VHS collection -- for the films that actually were released on VHS anyway! -- except for Die Another Day, which the seller also had but I passed on because I didn't want a copy with Blockbuster stickers all over it (or the inevitable residue from trying to remove the stickers), and it's my least favorite of all the Bond movies, so...
A TRIP TO MY CAR TRUNK LATER... The 14 James Bond VHS put me over the top for my carrying-stuff-capacity, so after dropping off my previous finds I doubled-back to a couple booths I'd noticed on my way to my car.
First up was Super Mario World and Donkey Kong 64 (with manual but it's missing front and back covers), for a combined total of $8!
Finally we have Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball and NHL 96 for SNES, and Adventure Island II and Donkey Kong Land for Game Boy, for which the seller gave me a good deal lower total than the combined stickered asking prices! She also had a Sega Genesis Model 1 listed for $15 (but said I could have it for $10), along with about a dozen (individually priced) Genesis games like Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Marble Madness, Cool Spot, etc., but I decided to pass on them because I just cannot start collecting for another system at this time...
Rounding out my finds (but not pictured here), I picked up a VHS of Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, a factory-sealed VHS of the James Bond movie For Your Eyes Only, and CDs of Steve Vai's 'Sex & Religion' and the Century Media Records Compilation 'Identity II' featuring some of my favorite bands like The Gathering, Sentenced, Moonspell, Samael, Nevermore, and Emperor (METAL!!! \m/)
Hopefully my late-night ramblings make sense and are at least somewhat interesting to whomever may stumble across this little blog! I will try to post again in the near future! Thanks for reading!
Well, friends...this is it. I'm saying Goodbye. There's nothing left for me here at RFGeneration.
I've come to the harsh realization that no one reads this Blog of mine anymore, and that I have officially run out of ideas on what to write about. I've also noticed a lack of front-page updates and forum topics, which leads me to believe that no one visits this site anymore. (That, or I'm really oblivious.)
I've also come to the (extremely sad) realization that the Game Industry is dying, and once fine companies like Capcom and Square-Enix have been consumed by greed, wanting nothing but money, which hurts the quality of they're games. Let's face it. There's no such thing as a game made with Heart and Soul anymore. Even someone like me, who has grown up with Video Games, finds no joy in playing the crap released in this day and age. Dare I say it, even Nintendo has fallen. It's sad, but more than likely true.
I also believe that with the cancellation of Mega Man Legends 3, there is absolutely no hope for the gaming industry, or it's fans. Not to mention that I think the failing economy is going to cause a second Video Game Crash.
Well, that's it. Goodbye everyone. I leave you all with this:
This is ReddMcKnight, your friendly neighborhood Nintendo man, signing off!
Hey everyone third post of the day! Been a while since I have done that (wait have I ever posted three, hmmm o well). My brother and I have done some shopping and we purchased a few cool items. The first one was SimEarth on SNES for $1.98 which is pretty cheap, the cartridge is in great condition no tears on the label and no markings. My brother has a ton of points in Club Nintendo SO to add to the collection of our Legend of Zelda items he bought the Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time 3D Soundtrack, WHICH can only be purchased through CLUB NINTENDO! (You don't have points in the club GET SOME!!!) The CD is new never opened and NEVER will be opened. He also bought Records of Agarest War Zero Limited Edition (too add to our huge collection of Collector's, Limited, and Special Editions). Today we went to CD Tradepost in Bellevue, NE. We found a few nice items one was Atari VIDEO PINBALL complete in box!!! It was only $35.00! Then we also bought Alien Vs. Predator Extinction which is a pretty good game and can be quite costly but we bought it at $17.00. Also we purchased the Halo: The Essential Visual Guide from Borders (which is going out of business) for $13.00. He purchased the Art of Halo brand new from Half Price Books for $8.00 and it is selling new on Amazon for $45.00. So hope you all enjoyed this post and here are a few pictures. Also a few weeks back we purchased complete in box Atari 2600 Paddles in box for $4.00.
Picture 1 - Items
Picture 2 - More Items
Picture 3 - More Items
Another item that my brother has purchased is this mint condition guide of Legend of Zelda: Tips and Tactics. This guide is pretty rare and he bought it off eBay off a girl who didn't have a clue what she was selling. One guy is selling this guide on eBay right now for $75.00 BUY IT NOW price. This guide is complete even with the map/legend included. This guide is full of amazing pictures to help anyone who loves this game with the tools needed to complete this game (well me I just used the Game Genie). This guide is a great addition to our strategy guide collection and big add to our collection of Zelda items.
Picture of the Guide:

Here are the games that I hope to finish in the next several months:
1. Resistance Fall of Man
2. Ocarina of Time-3DS
3. Silent Hill Shattered Memories-PSP--Currently playing
4. Heavenly Sword-PS3
5. Tomb Raider Underworld-360-Currently playing
6. Bayonetta-360
7. Vanquish-PS3
8. LA Noire-PS3
9. Resident Evil 5-PS3-Currently playing
10. Bastion-XBLA-Currently playing
I have to say that I really enjoyed this game. This was the game I bought back when the PS3 launched and I really liked it then but got stuck. I found the game to be quite challenging but one that made me feel like I had accomplished something big when I got past a certain section. I do wish checkpoints were a little closer together but I finally completed this game last night. Excellent game that I feel holds up much better than Halo 3 does after going back to play each one after a long time away from them.
I recently purchased Resistance 2 at Target for $10 and I think I will be playing that one sooner rather than later in anticipation of Resistance 3. But before that, I have these other games to finish up!!
Hey everyone! Been a while since I have posted about our eBay chronicles. I just moved back from Florida because the job market is very hard down there. BUT WHILE I WAS AWAY my brother kept on eBay shopping. For a purchase of $40.00 he bought 36 SUPER FAMICOM games in their boxes all but one is complete with instructions. Some of the popular titles would include Sim City Jr., P.T.O. II, Romance The Three Kingdoms III, Super Baseball II and some others. This collection is awesome and definitely adds to the great import collection we have started. The Super Famicom as is the SNES is one of the best systems ever made (Sorry Sega Fans) the system especially in Japan had hundreds of titles and our new addition is only a small percentage of games to come. Hope you all enjoy please leave comments and here are some pictures with some descriptions.
Also in another eBay purchase he bought two ULTIMA Famicom Games complete in Box!
Picture 1 - The Complete Purchase Part 1
This is 34 out of the 36 games.

Here are the games that I hope to finish in the next several months:
1. Resistance Fall of Man-PS3
2. Ocarina of Time-3DS

8. LA Noire-PS3
9. Resident Evil 5-PS3
10. Bastion-XBLA
Several months back I intended to write here more consistently to help me get through my huge backlog of games. I haven't done very well actually blogging but I have done extremely well playing and finishing games.
In my previous blog, I mentioned it was my new year's resolution to actually finish games this year. I finished three games in 2010--Heavy Rain, Splinter Cell Conviction and Alan Wake. I have a big problem of starting games and then playing them a quarter of the way through and then starting something else. I really like to buy games as well. Whenever I find a good deal, I have to buy it if it is a game I am interested in(darn you Cheapassgamer!!). Due to these issues, my backlog has grown to well over a hundred current gen games, not including retro system games(I own pretty much all of them).
I have to say that I am quite proud of myself this year with the games that I have completed. Even though I haven't blogged here as much as I intended, I always new I would eventually and it has kept me focused on finishing games.
On to my completed games since my last update on March 3rd. The list is in no particular order.
1. Metro 2033--Xbox 360
I bought this for $10 at Sears on clearance and thought I would really love this game as it was an FPS with horror aspects. It was ok but I didn't find it very fun. I hated the fact that I always had to worry about my stupid gas mask. It annoyed me and I never felt at ease with the game. Maybe that was the point the developer's were trying to make. Who knows. I'm glad I only spent $10 on it. This is the only title I couldn't wait for the game to be over.
2. Silent Hill Homecoming-PS3
I love survival horror games. Love them. This got a lot of so-so reviews but I have to say with my 5.1 surround sound headphones on in the dark, this was an awesome Silent Hill game. If you like Silent Hill games, you will like this. I bought this the week it came out and just finished it!
3. Back to the Future Episode 1-PS3
I have a problem with PSN and XBLA games. They are very easy to buy but then I rarely play them as i feel like I need to finish my boxed games first. Anyway, this was short and a fun little diversion from all the FPS's I have been playing. Episode 5 just came out this week so I have a long way to go to finish the entire series.
4. The Darkness-Xbox 360
This is another game that I got right when it came out. It was in the early days of the 360 and there wasn't much out so I got this and enjoyed it for quite awhile but then got sidetracked. I really enjoyed it overall. The shooting aspects weren't the best but "The Darkness" powers were a lot of fun. I wanted to finish this up before The Darkness 2 comes out next year.
5. Chronicles of Riddick-Assault on Dark Athena-Xbox 360
I loved the original Chronicles of Riddick back on the original Xbox. I found this game at Target several years ago for under $10 and had to snatch it up. Most reviews said the games was average but I really liked it. It had great atmosphere. It also comes with an redone version of the original game but since I had beaten that already, I didn't play it.
6. Bioshock-Xbox 360
What a great game!! I loved the atmosphere! This is another game I bough right when it came out and just finished it. Finding Bioshock 2 for $5 new helped me want to finish it as well as the awesome looking Bioshock Infinite that is coming out next year. I have to say that I thought the shooting mechanics were't very good though.
7. Fear 2 Project Origin-Xbox 360
This is another FPS that is horror themed and unlike Metro 2033, I absolutely loved this game. Great atmoshpere and gunplay especially with bullettime! I knew I would like it as I loved the first Fear and will love Fear 3 when I find it cheap later this year.
8. Enslaved-Odyssey to the West-Xbox360
I needed a break from FPS games and this did the trick. This is an excellent third person action game with beautiful graphics. I got it at Gamestop new for $15 this spring and couldn't recommend it highly enough. It came from the same company that made heavenly Sword which is coming soon to a PS3 near me.
9. Crysis 2-Xbox 360
I very rarely buy full priced games but just knew I had to have this one. Awesome, awesome FPS with great graphics! There is something about bullet time that I really like in shooters.
10. Halo 3
I felt guilty about not finishing this one up a long time ago. I bought it the day it came out and played a lot of it but for whatever reason, put it aside. I loved it back then but when I went back to play it recently, I found the game seemed old in comparison to games like Crysis 2. I still enjoyed it and recently purchased Halo 3 ODST which I will playeeventually before picking up Halo Reach(hopefully before Halo 4!!)
11. James Bond Quantum of Solace-Xbox 360
I bought this on a whim from my local Pamida store for $10. I knew it would be a short romp and I had this desire to play a Bond game after watching the recent movies. It was just as many reviews stated at the time--an ok FPS. Nothing special and a bit generic.
12. Dead Space-PS3
I thought I would love this game as it was survival horror and I love survival horror. But then I realized that it wasn't really survival horror but an action game with horror aspects. Once I accepted that I enjoyed the game but still don't like where this generations survival horror is going--more action oriented.
13. Resistance Retribution-PSP
This was a really enjoyable game third person shooter on the PSP which will no doubt play a lot better on the PS Vita with two analog stick. Regardless, great game that got me back into playing Resistance 1on the PS3.
14. Pilotwings-3DS
As I generally have to buy any new system that comes out right away(which as of today I am quite upset about as it is dropping to $170!!), I got the 3DS with this as it was the only game that really interested me. I also bought the Ghost Recon game which I really am enjoying more but need to finish. This game was a fun little romp that made me really start to like 3d. Once I beat it I got rid of it as I didn't see myself going back to play it.
So there is my very long list of games that I have beaten since March 3. Quite a list if I do say so myself. Now on to what I am currently playing:
Resistance-Fall of Man-PS3
Silent Hill Shattered Memories-PSP
Ocarina of Time 3d-3DS

Some of those members might even choose to write about gaming and collecting! Whatever they write about, you can find it on their blog. You can either see the latest community blog entries in the feed you see to the left, or you can browse for your favorite blog using the menu above. Interested in having your own blog hosted on RF Generation? It's rather simple, first be a registered member, and then click the "My Blog" link that you see in the navigation above. Following those two steps will certainly get you on your way to blogging.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy our entries, rantings, and completely unrelated series of thoughts. We write for you to read, so we certainly hope that you enjoy our material.
