How much would you pay for a used NES?

I still have my beloved NES from my childhood. I do not care how rough times are, that is something I would never sell. I am that emotionally invested. That is how I am, and some of you as well. Not everyone is like us, to some it is just a toy and needs to go.

SO when you put one up on ebay and get over 13 grand something is up. I read on in this here. http://videogames.yahoo.com/events/plugged-in/old-nintendo-system-sells-for-13-105/1389101

I knew it had to be bundled with some rare collectors cart. The thing is, none of us knew something like that even existed. All the game I had we fun and pretty popular. Super Mario Bros, Castlevannia Contra... stuff everyone played.

I ask you guys, how much is your NES collection worth? Anything super rare?

In which I discuss Objectivism, Ayn Rand and Popular media.

I found this on the old el jay and it brought up some interesting ideas I had not considered. As a scientist I feel compelled to replicate this experiment. In fact, I could get all my supplies at 3 stores, and I bet they could be found in the same shopping center. Just a quick trip to Petco (for the fish tanks, hamster and the series of tubes), Gamestop (for a Big Daddy action figure) and Boarders (for a copy of The Fountainhead ). What the hell am I on about about? This.

Horrible, horrible news regarding 'Spider-Man 4' :(

They fired Sam Raimi and the whole cast  :(

Dylan Baker will never get to be Lizard.

A Trip to the Moon

So I got in the mood to watch this film and asked my friends if they add it on DVD. I was instead informed by Luke that it could be downloaded as it was in the public domain. Yet another reason to love 100 year old films. Being a silent film i decided to add my own soundtrack,  courtesy of Vernian Process. A pox on youtube for forcing me to cut it up into two parts.

The Green Hour - Herbsaint

Oh look, some poor absinthe that is technically NOT absinthe. PS it sucks. I am only doing this for completeness.

The Green Hour - Obsello

Today I review a fantastic Spanish absinthe. Also, mucking around with new video editing software. I know I need help.
