[typing]
Man, I've been feelin' sick all friggin' week.
But who cares? Not anymore.
Let's go thrifting.
[intro]
I'm not feeling terribly adventurous today, so we're just going to hit up a FEW Goodwills.
Checking out the glass case near the front first off and...
yeah, pretty much just the typical random assortment of new games left over from Target.
[laughs]
Although, right next to the case you have this right here
which lets you know that you are INDEED shopping at a Goodwill in North Carolina.
Yes, this is one of Tony Stewart's tires.
Certified by Joe Gibbs Racing of NASCAR.
Oooh... Learning to Speak Five Modern Languages.
Well, modern in the late '50s, it appears.
Although, I guess they haven't changed too much, but, yeah, not exactly what I'm looking for today.
Aaah, this is more my style! Bratz! Rock Angelz!
And, of course, there was no disc inside. [Groans] What a loss.
Now, here's something that ACTUALLY strikes my fancy.
This is the Cirque Glidepoint Portable.
Perhaps a future bit of Oddware here. This is basically a touchpad for your desktop.
Speaking of different, here's a piece of CAD software.
This is Drafix QuickCAD?
These things always intrigued me, but for seven bucks it's a bit much.
Course, something that I just can't pass up for seven dollars is Microsoft Flight Simulator!
This is version 5.0 for DOS.
Really cool, I actually did not have this version.
Also found Need for Speed Most Wanted
for the PSP, but of course the disc is not inside.
Jerks!
Oh, hey! Impossible Mission for the Wii?
Hah, I had no idea they remade this game!
Thankfully this was taped up so the disc WAS inside
and that's cool, I definitely grabbed this because
I just want to try it out, I like the original.
Also found Sonic Colors for the Nintendo DS.
For $5? Yeah, whatever, I'll take a chance on it
and the box is really cool. I like that sort of holo-foil thing going on.
Ooh, an Atari 2600!
Looks to be in pretty decent shape.
And $29, it at least does come with the video cable.
No power cable, though. Ah, whatever, I've already got a ton of these
but it's still cool to see them in the wild.
Speaking of "in the wild," look at this wild thing!
This right here, [laughs] besides looking rather hideous,
is a Hewlett-Packard SpaceBall.
This is made for, well, CAD programs as well as other 3D design stuff.
This lets you manipulate things in 3D space, supposedly more easily.
It's just too odd not to pick up.
Ooh, yeah! Tiger Electronics game, here is Ninja Gaiden.
Only a dollar! Awesome price, totally would have gotten it,
but the screen looks completely ruined.
It's all mashed up and there's some, like, weird stuff going on
with the liquid crystal, so, agh, that sucks!
Oh, hey, what's this box up here?
[Pearl Jam's "Even Flow" plays]
And, of course, over in the women's accessories,
I found all of these Saints Row IV Wub Wub Special Edition
collector's edition items.
Thirty bucks for 'em, though? That's just way too friggin' much,
but, yeah, it's always amusing when you find all this stuff
at Goodwill. Look at all these things for Dead Island: Riptide as well.
Aw, and then down here. [laughs]
Oh, poor Duke. Yeah, these are the Duke Nukem Forever busts
that came with the "Balls of Steel" edition of the game.
[Duke voice] Aw, what happened?
Sorry, Duke, that's what you get when Gearbox releases
a sub-par game about you and nobody buys the Special Editions!
Over in the random junk section, I found some random junk
as well as this right here. This is a mousepad
from Ducks Unlimited that also comes with Duck Hunter Pro.
OK, well that's just weird enough that I've gotta get it,
especially for $2.
This game is apparently by Headgames.
Yep, the same people that did Extreme Paintbrawl
and Extreme Boards & Blades.
Aw, man, are these—
Are these Shake Weights?
Euuuugh
Yep
Oh yeah, that's definitely what they are
and now I feel dirty. How did they ever sell these things?
[laughs]
Eugh, anyway, I think after that I need to go to the Salvation Army Store.
And right inside, uh, oh, there's a lioness
just chillin' over here on the couch.
Nice lion!
Back in the puzzles and board games, though,
I happened to run across something that's for the PC.
This right here is Interplay Gamefest.
Yes, it comes with Starfleet Academy: Chekov's Lost Missions,
Star Trek: New Worlds,
Starfleet Academy: Strategic Command, and
just Starfleet Command.
Yeah, normally I skip on shovelware compilations like this,
but, yeah, Star Trek, man!
You'd have to use the Force to resist this!
Over in the books, I happened to run across
an Animated Storybook.
I do like some of these, but the only ones that I really collect
are the ones that I remember playing as a youngster.
And, oh, Pooh, this is not one of them.
Over in the generic CDs, I found some generic PSOne games, although [grumbles]
It's the wrong direction that drives me crazy!
Anyway, this is Q*bert. Oh, cool, this is a game I didn't have, may as well get it.
Also happened to run across Extreme Pinball for the PSOne.
Which is awesome, I didn't have it for this system.
And this is the sequel to Epic Pinball, one of my favorites.
Oh, hey, Top Gun Jets on VHS!
Aw, man, this looks like one of those things I would have borrowed from the library years ago
and just, like, watched and thought it was so cool.
'Cause being a little boy in 'Murica
Oh, here's a box that I just cannot resist!
This is full of travel adapters from, looks like the past thirty years.
Yeah, I don't know why, but I find these kind of collections just fascinating.
I seriously spent like ten minutes looking at every one of these in detail. It was awesome.
Over in the electronics, happened to find a
ComShare 350 telephone line sharing device?
Talk about one of the most boring things ever
and also something that is so woefully obsolete now that it is completely useless.
Kind of love it.
Over in the keyboards, though, I did find something of interest
and, uh, that is underneath these others here.
This is an Apple ADB Extended Keyboard.
These are quite well-known keyboards for '90s Apple users
and I already have quite a few of them or I would have gotten it,
but it did get me looking around for other Apple things
just in case somebody dropped off some stuff, and they did!
I found a case over here full of 3½" Apple floppy disks,
all of it looking to be for software for Power Macs, the 6100, 7100, and 8100 series
and system 7.5
I already have all of this stuff and, plus, all of it I think is for free
to download through Apple nowadays, so yeah, I had no need for any of it
but it was still cool. You don't normally see loose floppies.
And lastly, moving on to my favorite Goodwill.
and, hey, the construction is pretty much complete.
They're just finishing up the parking lot over here.
Ooh, and look! They've added automatic doors!
It's like the future!
And, yep, the section here is just about finished off.
They're really just adding some flooring and fixtures
and it will be ready to use.
I anticipate the next episode we'll be walking through here.
All things considered, it's looking pretty good.
Except for the other side of the store over here
where they've completely started ripping it up instead.
Looks like they're building some sort of training center or something for employees over here.
This is where the clothing used to be,
so I'm assuming that other section is going to be full of clothing now.
Anyway, over in the rest of the store,
Let's take a look at the auction case
'cause there's always some interesting stuff that I'll never have.
Like some pretty sweet air rifles
and samurai swords and other weaponry.
And a bunch of video games.
Aw, man, some cool Atari 2600 stuff
and even cooler NES stuff over here.
I mean, there's a lot of games, but, oh, those poor boxes!
Ew-hew! This isn't creepy at all!
This is a seriously old-school baby carriage... thing.
I-I don't even know. There's gotta be a proper term for this
because this is fully involved!
It's got, like, hoods or bonnets, or I don't even know what you call it.
And those giant wheels and the, the... wire everything,
and it's all set for horror movies!
Oh, look, an actual piggy bank.
Ah, man, you know, I've always wanted to buy one of these
just so I could money in it and smash it with a hammer. [laughs]
Like, that's the only reason I want one. Is that wrong?
Speaking of wrong...
Oh, dear! This is a...
classic wildlife collection, but I don't... [laughs]
remember seeing any classic wildlife that looks like a cerberus.
That's quite the striking statue, I gotta say. It's kinda cool.
Perusing the electronics, and, eh, it's mostly junk today.
Well, except for this down here.
This is an old GE tube TV.
I just love the look of these kinds of TVs.
And you know, if I had more space, I would so collect them.
I just like old TVs like this. I love the switches.
I love the tubes themselves, and the hum and, like, the heat,
and, ah, it's just really cool.
On the opposite end of the technology spectrum,
we have a frickin' Sony Blu-ray player!
This is a BDP-S300.
Crazy that these things are already showing up at Goodwill.
This is actually the second one that I have seen
recently for, like, under $30 or $40.
And just looking around the pots and pans
and crappy coffee makers, and well,
I don't know why this was here,
but there was a PSone controller. Like, the actual PS-"One."
I really like the style of these.
They have a cool connector on the end
and the R2 and L2 buttons are nicely shaped.
Over in the puzzles and board games,
and I saw quite a puzzling thing.
Oh, yeah, Print Master Gold: Bonus Pack.
I have actually been looking for Print Master Gold, a very specific version,
for a long time now, so I always check these out.
And unfortunately, this is not that version.
The one I'm looking for is...
Well, I mean, I'll know it when I see it, but it's the one I had as a kid.
One of these days, it'll be mine!
Until then, hey, why not get this?
Survive the Millennium Bug!
Protect your PC while there's still time!
Year 2000! Aw, Y2K.
It was such a big deal. No it wasn't.
It, it was a big deal for no friggin' reason, basically,
but... this is my kind of thing, man!
Heading towards the front again, and, ugh,
on an end cap over here, look at this!
Ah, Windows 98. Second edition.
It's the upgrade, and you know, I passed on one of these
a couple episodes ago.
This one is, like, the opposite of that. It's in fantastic shape.
Oh, and underneath that, it had SimCity 2000: Special Edition.
My favorite version of one of my favorite games ever.
And yes, I already own, like, ten of these things, so I don't need another one,
but it's just really cool to see such a nice condition copy
just out in Goodwill like this.
Over in the games, there's a pretty cool little find.
For someone, not me. This is Super Mario 64.
I already own it, or I would have gotten it,
especially because it's only $3!
I think this is the cheapest version of this game that I have ever seen.
At least in a store like this.
Checking out the music CDs, 'cause why not,
and well... [laughs] I'm glad I did.
This is Daggerfall.
But not just normal Daggerfall, this is the Interactive Preview disc.
Basically a demo that they sold or distributed with magazines and stuff like that.
Really, really cool to find this as a lover of Daggerfall.
And one other thing caught my eye here
and that is Guy Spy and the Crystals of Armageddon.
A DOS cartoon adventure game that's very similar to Dragon's Lair, from what I understand.
Never played it, but hey, maybe I will now!
And that is all for Episode 14 of Thrifts.
We got nine games, one of 'em with a mousepad,
two software packages, one PSone controller,
one goofy-looking Spaceball thing,
and one trackpad for desktop computers.
All for about $41 total.
This was a fun haul.
I didn't go too many places and got some cool stuff anyway.
And definitely came across some interesting things in the store as well.
Some of these items I may never actually use.
Like, seriously, the Spaceball?
I don't know, I'll probably do an Oddware video on it or something
if I can get the software for it, but yeah.
Definitely some games and gaming devices that I will be playing with in here for sure.
And I'll be really curious to visit that Goodwill store next time
and see the hopefully complete construction.
That's it for this video, though, and I hope you enjoyed.
And if you did, then you might want to check out some of my other thrifting videos.
There are 13 more prior to this, and probably gonna be a lot more in the future,
so stay tuned for that.
