What's up with Pokemon? I have to be the only guy who doesn't know shit about it. Is it like a RPG or something. I remember watching a few cartoon episodes back in the days that had something to do with cards and a character called pikachu. Or maybe that was Yu-Gi-Oh. Why is this shit so popular?
I doubt highly you're serious on that but on the off chance you're not. Cartoon, massive multibillion dollar toy line, and Nintendo handheld RPG line of games with spinoffs too including a yugioh card battler and pikachu is the mascot more or less. I'm more surprised I'm even finding this junk anymore, especially pokemon considering that pokemon go phone game as it's like crack for everyone.
Renting a van in America after all the "hidden" fees will cost you over $300. Not including gas. I drove over 1400 miles. Even at .15 a mile.....think about that.
Dead on accurate there. I went into looking at that for moving stuff around 4 years back and it was nauseating. After you then add in the gas on top, plus any road stops you make for food, drink, sleeping, etc. It's no wonder people pay the added fee to just pay someone to throw the shit on a truck and do it for you and just box stuff up yourself as it's a joke.
And back to where that started, I don't like scratches. I actually had laid down cardboard and blankets with the tailgate of the Edge, not a scratch anywhere. You can get stuff into cars and stuff fairly easy if you're smart and not reckless about it.
Finally...cosmic fantasy 2. I had that back in the day too, bought it new from turbo zone direct, it was slightly stiff but for the time it was a really fantastic RPG for the system. I'm not sure how well it has aged in nearly 20 years since but it was fun.
...Today I even had a few more little cool things pop up, just couldn't stay home. I got a complete G1 Transformer of Thundercracker with all the accessories (no manual) for $30 (books $60+ on ebay complete.) I collect G1 Transformers when I can find them, usually local but a few I will snap up online if the price warrants it. I'm pushing 70 between normal sized types and the little minis and some of the micromasters too.
