Another Phantasy Star related mastery... this time, Phantasy Star II for the Genesis/Mega Drive. Lots of grinding in this game, and more needed for the achievements. Maps definitely needed.

I hate when you go to a restaurant's website and you can't just look at a menu. They want you to start an order. I just want to see what you have, dammit.

Was considering streaming after work today, but I’m beat.

Another Phantasy Star down, this time the first one for the Master System. Good game. Less repetitive than PS3 and less annoying encounter rate than PSGaiden. Recommend maps for the dungeons or map your own.

Got a new electric shaver. It requires one of those USB power blocks to charge, and of course is not included. Should I use the one that came with my Zune? #zune #microsoft

Neat. Looks like it's the SCPH-5501 version based on the outputs. Seems like lots of people preserving software, nice to see someone working on making sure the hardware to run that software continues existing.

Second Phantasy Star related mastery. Easy set. Some ambiguity on the "finish game with all characters lvl 30" since some characters leave your party before the end. I just made sure everyone was 30, but that was a lot of grinding.

Phantasy Star Gaiden on the Game Gear (translated). Straight forward simple RPG well suited for the portable system. No idea how many batteries you'd have to have to beat it. Better get an AC adapter.

Just mastered Phantasy Star III on RetroAchievements. Pretty straight forward set. Mostly progression. Anyone else into RA?

Toad. Saw this toad in the parking lot this morning. Big storms last night. I moved him to the fence so he wouldn’t get smushed. #toad #amphibian #didnotpeeonme

Magic Knight Rayearth (Super Famicom/SNES) was... a game. Short and simple, it might be a good one for someone just beginning to play RPGs, but someone with more experience will find it boring.

Scanned and uploaded an old TurboZoneDirect mail order catalog a few years back. Still wishing I had bought a copy of Magical Chase for $40... I did get a controller cable extension, Time Cruise, and TV Sports Football.

While not generally considered one of the top Saturn RPGs, Albert Odyssey will still put a little dent in your wallet... but then that's true of any halfway decent Saturn game.

The Dual Shock 2 controller for the Sony Playstation 2. The standard controller for one of the best selling consoles of all time, this controller is familiar to just about everyone. The design was cemented in the PS1 era and soldiered on to the PS3 with minor changes.

The Atari XEGS Joystick is essentially the same thing as the regular Atari 2600 joystick, but with a beige shell to match the Atari XE. It's just a little rarer since it came with the less popular XE system.
