Custom Video Game Covers - Cheap Man's Collecting!

Want to get cheap games? Keep an eye out for "loose" disc games. For whatever reason, loose disc games are really cheap, usually $1 at garage sales.... and I usually talk it down being a true Thriftdweller!  I made a step by step how to guide for you to check out how to make your own reproduction video game covers! =D

Can you guess which my games are replica covers and which are real? 

"Nate's" Wardner Cover

I made this cover for my loose copy of Wardner on the Sega Genesis. It's put together from many generic elements of the original game. If you'll notice, 2 main people on the cover are from very popular franchises. Feel free to download the cover for your own use, I don't own any elements of the cover! Thanks for checking out the blog! =D

Custom Action 52 Cover by Nate

A custom Action 52 cover I made by google-ing some pictures. I made this cover to fit standard Sega Genesis cases. I found the manual and cartridge for Action 52 at a garage sale last summer. Can't wait to get this printed! Feel free to download this cover for your own personal use! I don't own any of this stuff!

Life is Busy!

Just had a text-chat with Ian and Lester about the status of Thriftdweller! It's tough right now to edit videos and keep up to date! I think we need to take a break right now and prepare! Maybe we'll do a Summer re-release again. It's hard to find the time and I don't want to rush making videos just for the sake of making videos. THis isn't suppose to be a job, just a past time. More updates to come! TD must meet and deliberate! =D

Mega Man Dr.Light Capsule!

Just found this, it's so dope! I want to make something like this! =D

Who Would Win?

I made a sketch about a year ago and found it in the laundry room recently. It was suppose to be a response to a question from our friend and fellow blogger EDT1138 from youtube. He asked "who would win in a fight between Iron Man and Batman?" In true nate fashion, I said Wolverine! =D

A Thriftdweller Classic Video Pick

For those who don't know, I have a video blog called "Thriftdweller" with by best friend Lester. One of the perks of making a journal or video blog is that you can look back at how silly we were at our younger age. Granted it was only 2 years ago, I still invite you to check out some of my personal favourite videos! 

Da Vlog - Sailor Moon
Lester (co-blogger/best friend) and I used to have a video blog series called "Da Vlog" in season 2 of Thriftdweller. In this episode I end up singing Sailor Moon for some reason during our regular thrift store hunting! Check it out!

This Week's Pick Up Video

On this week's pickup video from my video blog Thriftdweller, we review all the finds of the week guest starring 64BitMatthew (a fellow YouTube blogger) and Ian Beardman from Thriftdweller! Check it out!

Lunch Time Sketches - Faxanadu

Inspired from the game Faxanadu by Hudson Soft. I still don't know what that sword REALLY is? 

This posts' sketch was inspired by Hudson Soft's FAXANADU

When I was in university, I used to sketch on breaks to just take my mind off the craxy-ness of the hospital. I did this a lot and usually just thew them away. I started doing this again since my work really does drive me nuts, this helps keep me balanced and lets me work on some sketching skills, only instead of throwing them away, I'll snap some pics for the blog! =D

Any requests, feel free to drop them in the comments or message me on facebook! =D

My Worst Predictions Ever!

"From the mouth of babes"
While cleaning my video game closet, I couldn't help but giggle when I found an old wrestling magazine and remembered when I was a child, I thought "Essa Rios is going to be the next big thing". Needless to say, that never happened, in fact I had some really dumb predictions growing up, everything from wrestling to video games. It inspired me to share my Top 5 Worst Predictions Ever!

The next big thing in wrestling ladies and gents! =D
