When I first got into chip back in like '07ish I went by the name ampersand.

whoa. did you paint this, then? if so, hi! big_smile

Ha.  No I didn't.  I was just saying I used to go by ampersand.  I wish I could paint.  But I'm a terrible artist.  I'll stick to building things and making others paint.

I got some super gameboys, unmodded, with pro-sound or even with link port mod.

They are European tho, don't know which version you are looking for.

Guess I should add that to the first post.  I need NTSC.  I'm currently stateside for now.  Thanks though.

Updated because I am looking for a few things now.  2x SNES's and/or 2x SGB's.  Read first post, friends.

Heh yeah RAW is the shit. Old mix tapes ftw.

Just built one like that blue and white one.

I second that motion. Or rather, just get a new batch of those white buttons in. They go well with every colour and, what is more, match the existing replacement select and start buttons.
... are those buttons on the blue and white game boy supposed to be white or off-white?

They look white to me but I can't tell for sure...  And I agree about the white buttons.  I have been impatiently awaiting their arrival!  I want some so bad!

Just built one like that blue and white one.

Blue painters tape wouldn't stick.  Not sure why.  Actually I had a problem with the paint not sticking to the kitsch shells too.  I blame the paint though because I love those shells and don't want to blame them.  But I haven't seen anyone else having problems painting them so in the end, I probably did something wrong.

They make primer.

You can't use primer when painting the inside of a clear shell.

Added a modded blue DMG to the list.  Also lowered my prices that I am hoping to get.  Willing to negotiate best offers or consider trades as well.  Just PM me.

Inbox and outbox messages still say the correct names.  It doesn't say "someone".

Prices?

after high school, i'm planning on going to culinary school to become a chef.

Try and get a job as a chef or in a kitchen first before you go to culinary school or while in school.  And shop schools hard.  My wife went to the Art Institute and they talked big game about the success rate of graduates. But out of 50ish people she kept in touch with, the only one who is successful right now worked in a kitchen during school.  All the others are broke or are still on school including my wife who is now working on a different degree at a real Uni. .

I'm studying Biological Anthropology with and emphasis on Human Evolution and Genetics and I work security at night for apartment complexes.  But since they're "luxury" complexes, it means I'm bored and nothing ever happens.

My aunt loves playing tetris, so this is what she's getting for her birthday.


How much would you charge to paint another shell like that?  I can gather the rest of the parts I just want a shell painted like that.  My wife has an obsession with rainbow stuff and plays bubble bobble all the time so that would be great to give to her.
