A day in the life of the PCEFX village idiot....

late to the party on this one.

but god damn, bernie. you spastic bastard.

[BigusSchmuck]

Don't feel too bad Bernie, when we fired up that n64 I got from you my wife spilled wax all over it from one of her candles. Thankfully it didn't damage the unit too bad, but now we are wondering if we got the Bernie curse...

The day I brought home a new NES game I found at a thrift store I happened to slip when I was putting it on the shelf and knocked a copy of SUPER GOJIRA off and it landed on it!!  I got the SNES game from Bernie.  O_O


I'm kind of creeped out by how happy and accomplished Bernie's old Super Godzilla looks here......

[Necromancer]

Godzilla is yelling at Nimoy and Shatner "my dad's not a cell phone!"

[galam]

Does the snes cart weigh as much as the REAL Godzilla to do that kind of damage just from falling on it? Or is that particular star trek cart made out of cocaine and is just fragile?  Because drug lords often make legit looking items out of cocaine.

I think it's cocaine.

Wow, that looks like some heavy damage just from a SNES cart falling. 

I accidentally dropped my set of keys on my Sega Nomad and it cracked both the outer protective screen and the LCD screen underneath.

Ouch, that stings

On a lighter note, in a sadistic way, village idiot stories are kind of entertaining

Plastic gets brittle as it ages.

The Curse of Bernie continues...

Well, I'm sure most of us have NES carts a lot older than that and have taken a worse beating. However, I'm sure the storage condition over the years could certainly play a part.

No, wait, I still say its cocaine.

BTW, I have Bernie games I'm kind of afraid to touch now. Not sure what I'll do when I need a TV Sports fix.

I made a stupid mistake like this last week.

I couldn't find my external hard drives' AC adaptor. I was getting impatient and had a project I really wanted to finish that was stored on it. So I looked through my room and found my old laptop's AC adapter from 10 years ago or so. It looked like it would worked, the plug fit and be voltages seemed ok.

So I plugged it into one, the drive turned on. The light blinked a few times but then quickly shut off. I was confused, but went ahead and tried it in the other one.

Long story short, I now have two shiny gray/black paper weights.  

Oh and their real AC adaptor? It was under the table that I looked on over and over that day.  

Not sure if it relates back to Bernie's curse, but this all took place in the room where the PC Engine I just got now sits.

Did you get your PCE from Bernie?

[SmaMan]

No, it was some guy in Japan. Now, it looks like it may have traded hands a few times, so if Bernie had it at one point...

The guy in Japan is Baruni Kawasaki, Bernies long lost cousin.
