Went to Swansea today. Wasn't really looking for anything in particular... just happy to get out and about really, been head under with work recently.
Games shops were obviously the first port of call, Black & White looked tempting in EB, but perhaps I would buy it later.
Nearly bought the new Stereophonics album, and nearly bought the Spagetti Western trilogy on DVD as well.
With a few things on my mind to buy, I headed off for a lovely little games shop, which can be quite expensive, but you can get some really good deals in there too.
In I went... and went to look for the price of Black and White, to see if it was any cheaper. Not much. I had a voucher for EB as well, so it would be cheaper in there.
Then, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed something in the corner of the shop.
The Gameboy section.
A Gameboy Advance. On a shelf.
Imported from Japan.
For sale.
I've been quite worried recently, because a lot of my dreams seem very real. The other day I woke up convinced that we were living in London.
The price of the Gameboy Advance was £100. I had that much.
They had F-Zero for sale as well.
Hang on.
I'm standing in a shop in Swansea, the same one that I accidently stole a processor from all those years back, some regulars may remember, and I have a Gameboy Advance in my hands.
Seconds later, it's in my pocket.
How lucky, is that?

I'll take a break from F-Zero, and tell you what happened with the processor.
I was building my first PC, and I didn't want to get anything wrong... so I went in, and asked if they could show me how to put a processor in, as I was worried about the pins.
They plonked it in a motherboard that I was purchasing, and I was suprised at the loud scratching and bending noises that the chip made when you placed the lever down.
"That's supposed to happen." He assured me.
I went for another look around, and he put the motherboard back in it's box. Finding nothing more to buy, I paid for the motherboard and walked out.
I nearly went back with it, after finding the processor still inside, but I was told it was "his mistake, not yours".
It took me over a year, perhaps two, before I could go back in.
