I know the internet well enough to know that you cannot find it on the internets for less than 30. So after a little deliberation and calling Jonathan to make sure I wasn&#8217;t crazy on how much it was going for, I bought all five, and then went home and put them all up on Amazon Marketplace for 25 dollars. By the time I got back from work, they were all sold. I&#8217;ve made like 60 bucks and got copies of a game I love into worthy hands. So I suppose it&#8217;s a win all around, huh?<br \/>\nAnyway, sorry, I had to brag. That money is going straight into my &#8220;buy a laptop because I want one and I should buy one before they stop selling Windows XP&#8221; fund.<\/p>\n<p>In other news, Diggnation is coming to St. Louis on the 20th? What? I&#8217;m almost tempted to go. I probably won&#8217;t, but as I said, I&#8217;m tempted. I&#8217;d have to say, meeting Kevin and Alex would be pretty neat. The downside is it&#8217;s obviously going to be at a bar that will be crowded and filled with very, very drunk people, if listening to previous live Diggnations is any indication.<br \/>\n&#8230;wait, the 20th is a Wednesday. So cancel that, I have class. Oh well, as I said, I probably wouldn&#8217;t have  gone anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I guess it&#8217;s time to KoL before bed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I was burning time in Toys R Us before class and I see not one, not two, but five copies of the original Phoenix Wright sitting in a clearance bin for 10 bucks a pop.
