The first box that I have gone through as part of my Garage Cleaning, as you can see I have a small variety of stuff here. We’ll start from left-to-right:
Snorlax Balloon:
I think I got this from a K-Mart or something around seven years ago. The stem broke off a while back, but surprisingly the balloon is nearly as full as it originally was. I’m probably more like Snorlax (excluding the weight thing) than any of the other Pokémon with my recent sleep schedule.
GameShark (PS2):
A GameShark for the Playstation 2. I never used it. It simply did not have the same appeal as the Game Genie did. This was also after a while that I stopped using codes for games. I can’t even remember why I bought it.
Pikachu:
Pika Pika! Although the battery is dead, it would say its name when you squeezed either of its paws, and I believe that its cheeks would light up as well. Pikachu died 
Game & Watch Gallery 2 (GBC):
For some reason, I still own this although I have no systems capable of playing it. I don’t remember too much about it besides that I didn’t play it that much. I guess I will throw it up on eBay for 99 cents.
Lethal Enforcers II: Gunfighters (Sega CD):
Another game I am no longer capable of playing, the disc is housed in a Resident Evil: Director’s Cut (DualShock Edition) case. Unlike Game & Watch, however, I played this game a ton along with its prequel on the Sega Genesis. Excluding Duck Hunt, the Lethal Enforcers series are the only light gun games I’ve ever owned, and I have always treasured them for the unique play time they offered me. Mostly playing through the games with my brother, my light gun skillz are unparalleled, and yes, even when a civilian is shot in their face, it was intentional.
Paid to Play: An Insider’s Guide to Video Game Careers:
An excellent book that I recommend every person interested in landing a job in the industry reads. While I already knew everything they discussed about my particular interest, learning about the other multitude of jobs in the industry was not only enjoyable, but informative as well. A very entertaining book that eradicated boredom when I worked at a call center for a few months, you should definitely check it out.
Chef Aid: The South Park Album:
My brother’s disc that I should return to him, I don’t know why it is in my possession. Featuring a crazy mash-up of various artists, Chef Aid is certainly one of the more interesting albums I’ve ever heard. Along with Chef’s “Chocolate Salty Balls (P.S. I Love You)”, Cartman’s rendition of “Come Sail Away” is certainly the most famous of the tracks. I’ll have to burn this to my Zune later on tonight, although I could do without a few of the songs. I would have rather had more tracks by the characters from the show.
Bubsy in: Claws Encounters of the Furred Kind:
One of my favorite Sega Genesis games. I still have the original box and instruction book along with the game. I’ll be going into much more detail on this title in the future, but I will say that this game has a personality to it unlike just about anything else I’ve played. Dying in one hit resulting in a plethora of different death animations was one of my favorite aspects of the game, but there is a lot more to it than that. I would like to see this released over Xbox Live Arcade or the Virtual Console soon. Also, this is the only Bubsy game I’ve played, but I can see that Bubsy was widely mocked when I look him up on Google. I have a faint memory of the carnival level being one of my favorites, and I own the soundtrack on my Zune (weird, right?).
The Kama Sutra by Anne Hooper:
What a random find, especially since I didn’t buy it. But flipping through it, apparently I’m a fan of something called the Elephant Posture? Man, they really do have the best names for this stuff.
Nintendo Entertainment System:
An old NES, of which I have two of. What more needs to be said?
Pokémon 2.B.A. MASTER CD:
When I was heavily into the Pokémon craze, I ate up anything related to the franchise, and this included CD’s. I loved this CD when I was younger, but trying to listen to it now is a struggle. Unlike The First Movie soundtrack, the songs actually deal with Pokémon, and that isn’t necessarily a good thing. This CD is now only something I would play as a joke, like in the car with a bunch of friends or something.
Pokémon: The First Movie Soundtrack:
While barely any of the songs are related to Pokémon, the songs are easier to listen to, as they are just whatever the hit pop songs were at the time.
More Garage Cleaning to come!
