Gaming

Finally got around to getting a second system selector thing, a couple of power strips, and an A/B cable/antenna switch so I could get all of my consoles hooked up to my TV at once. This is the first time they've been in such a state since I added the DVD player, PS2, and Wii to the mix. I've bought a set of A/V cables for my Sega Genesis/CD off eBay so I can ditch the RF adapter for that, and I bought a new 72 pin connector for my NES in hopes of resurrecting it. I'll be ordering a new power cable for the NES if the new connector fixes the system (I find it terribly amusing that the SegaCD power cable works with the NES).

I hate having to use 2 system selector things, though. I'd love to get my paws on one with 8 inputs, but those seem to be impossible to find. Surely there are enough gamers out there for there to be a market for 8+ input selectors. I also need to do something about this mess of cables.

Conventions for 2009

Furry Weekend Atlanta - Confirmed at this point. I still need to find 2 roommates for the duration of the con, though.
Con Nooga (warning: horrible flash implementation on there) - Don't know if I'm going to it yet. I'll only be there for one day, Saturday.
Starfleet Region One 2009 Summit - Considering doing it as another day trip.
JAMPcon - Another possible day trip.
AdventureCon - Yep, 'nother possible day trip.

All of those are depending on funding, of course. I've already earmarked my tax return for FWA, so it's pretty much guaranteed. I just gotta get my W2 from work. Of the rest, the ones in mid-summer have the best chances of me having the funds for them. I should be maxing out my hours at work around that time, so I should have plenty of cash.
