On Sunday, I went to Settlers Cafe because Reno told me that they were having Green Lantern draft that day. I reached there at 3 pm, only to realize that they had run out of DGL and instead, were having a Modern Age Constructed tournament. I just sat around, watched the matches and bought myself some black pepper fries to munch on.
After the constructed event was over, the organizer suggested having a Marvel Origins draft. Everyone wanted to play, but there was only enough packs left for a 4-man draft. We ended up drawing lots and I managed to get in. Anyway, I lost and everyone got crap cards (except for Reno), so it didn't matter.
Those crazy VS players were still itching to draft, so they suggested going to Chris' shop. There were 10 of us, so we all got into 2 separate cars and hitched a ride to AMK. (I didn't feel like drafting, but wanted to get a free ride to AMK anyway. hehe.)
When we arrived, everyone went for dinner, except for me since I had something to eat earlier. I met Bahamut at Chris' shop, and when Kyo came, we went for dinner at Breeks. I haven't been there for so long that I have forgotten what I liked. Then I saw the garlic mash and it was heaven all over again. The menu seemed so foreign to me. I chose to buy the chicken leg since Bahamut said it was okay.
On Monday, I went to AMK. I decided to drop by Cash Converters with a whole bunch of my N64/SNES cartridges (around 20 of them). After selling 26 PS1 titles the other time, I was excited at the prospect of getting more money for my junk. I took a queue number (16) and saw that they were currently serving number 8. I went to hang out at Chris' shop for a while, dropping in back at the Buy Room to see if it was my turn. Within 15 minutes, I saw that the queue had jumped to 14! I quickly ran in with all my stuff and waited. To my horror, the number dropped back to 11 after that. I was too lazy to go back to Chris shop, so I just decided to continue waiting.
Max & Darius dropped by soon after to accompany me in the Buy Room. We chatted for nearly half an hour and it was finally my turn. I brought my stuff to the table and the guy couldn't tell what I had. I explained to him that I was selling Nintendo 64 cartridges and even showed him a nice list I typed out to make keying in the titles easier for him. He suddenly said, "We don't take in Nintendo and Sega cartridges. Only GameBoy." I felt very pissed when I heard this and wanted to argue that my N64 carts weren't the 16-bit SNES variety, but felt lazy. All the cartridges probably seemed to the same to him anyway. I felt like yelling at Cash Converters for not printing what kind of cartridges they were buying on their poster explicitly. To show my anger, I picked up my plastic bag full of carts and tossed them at the ground in the centre of the room for everyone to see. I wanted to just strut out of the Buy Room empty-handed, but heck, I just picked everything up and left.
At this moment, I swore revenge. The next time I come to sell more of my PS1 games, I won't bother to type out a nice list for them. Let them sort out the huge pile of mess themselves. And I won't even help them when they scratch their heads over some of the Japanese names of the titles.
Anyway, after that, I had a quick dinner with Max & friends at KFC. Then it was back to Chris shop for more idling before I went home.
