Pics of the nastiness, probably a dozen or so dead roaches, roach shit on everything.
That shit is horrible, burn it burn it all down.
I've been thinking a lot about how I might store my handheld consoles in a practical and safe way, and decided on using these foam trays with the small cubes that can be plucked out.
I'm pleased with the results so far and would love to pick up some more trays to finish off my collection and perhaps use these for other things like controllers/accessories.
The one set back is price, the ones I have were picked up from a games hobby store.. with quite the mark up, so if anyone might know a better place to find these I'd love to know. [UK based]
That is pretty fucking cool.
*edit*
I'm going to add a story from my days as an assistant manager for a Funcoland. So we had this regular family that was just dirty as fuck. I mean every time they came in as soon as they opened the door their particular stink would just smack you across the face. They would trade shit in and it would always take some one hours of cleaning it to make it able to be sold. Like an N64 they traded in once that must have lived near a ferret cage because it was covered in ferret piss and like that wood shavings people use at the bottom of their crate.
So one day they come in with a nasty box with a filthy NES and a bunch of dirty as hell looking cartridges. So I barely touch anything getting it set up to test it right on the counter, plug it all in grab one of their games, open up the frontloader and slide the cartridge in. As the cartridge reaches the pin connectors I hear this sccchhllloooocccrunnnccchhh, and I'm like
what the fuck was that. I look up at the family and they're just kind of like what ever it makes that sound some times. I don't even bother to try and power the system on but back the cartridge out slowly and look at its connector. There, between the case, bisected by the pins with one leg still twitching and antennae wiggling around is a now dead cockroach, that was obviously just a live.
My reaction was to throw the cartridge into their box and scream for them to take their shit and get out of the store, emphasizing the NOW!! part of it. To which they seemed confused about why I was upset, which just lead to me screaming go go get out NOW take it GET OUT!!!! and letting them know if they ever brought anything like that in the store again they were banned. Probably not my best possible reaction.
My district manager showed up like 2 hours later to scream and yell at me and when I explained about the cockroaches he changed his tune, then it became ohh fuck them gross. You have to be careful in a store setting, once those fuckers get in, it's impossible to get rid of them and you don't want to be the used game store selling cockroach infested goods.
