    		 first off i wanna say thanks to retro junk...without this contest i really couldn't have taken the time to post on these message boards, and now I've met some really cool people and Had some interesting conversations, I'll be stickin around for a while, and hey I will probably write more articles too!

    the other articles in the conest were great too, and me and Edymnion were neck in neck for the longest time...it's too bad we both couldn't have won...

    but thanks everyone for checkin out my article

    i got a lot of good feedback fom there and on the message board and it sparked a lot of conversation which is what i wanted to do...

    but yeah, so i was told that i should share with the board how i spent the money for amazon...man 250 bucks goes fast...anyway here is what I got, a bit of nostalgia mixed with current times

    Good, my chance for sweet, sweet vengance!

    Nah, I'm kidding, congrats Thew!
    While you were shopping at Amazon, I went out for some fun. Hit my local gaming store and bought some really nice gaming supplies (for the D&D'ers out there, I bought Five Nations). Then, I hit a videogame shop and bought myself Resident Evil 4. And to top it all off, I finally went to see Batman Begins (killer movie, btw).

    Heh, looks like you have less expensive tastes than I do though.
    I was looking at a Nintendo DS, and one anime box set (sailor moon season 2). Whatever was left after that was going to go to the guy that runs the Cities of Gold server with all the episodes on it that I got my copies of the show from. Wouldn't have been enough for one of the DVD box sets he wanted, but I could have still gotten him a book or two.

    Oh well, next time!

    		 Things are changing all the time. Things come in cycles...We may have another contest someday. Who knows?

    Anyway, more unneeded necro-bumping has happened. As such, this is another thread that deserves a lock.
