How To Get Fat like Iodine Opossum

We all know everyone wants to be just like the one and only Iodine Opossum. You may have developed the 'I don't care' attitude. Now it's time to develop your body.


First, you need to get fat ... to be proportionate, the average human probably needs to be well over 200lbs.


So here is a a tip from Iodine Opossum himself on how he got his outstanding figure.


First, I just eat everything I see, you can't care about stupid things like your health, high-cholesterol etc...

Afterward, I wasn't gaining efficient enough. So, I decided to get some of those 'How to' books. I recommend. 'How to Get Fat' I never gained so much fat efficiently. So if you want a body as fat and sexy as mine. Get fat! :)



This is the book ...

Cartoon House Restoration



After working on it a few hours, I got the projector to play the film correctly ... Unfortunately, two of the movies were broken due to age so there are three more that work good, but still need to be cleaned.

As you can see, these to wires go to the coin mechanism and once those are soldered back to where they need to go, then technically speaking, it will be completely repaired. 



Here in this image you can see the wooden coin box and on the far left where you can see the relay. That is what powers the coin mechanism. When you put a coin in, it would power on the projector for a few minutes and then power down. 
 


Cosmetically there is still some work. This image is after probably 25 minutes of intense scrubbing.

Confession Time

A few years ago, I suffered from video game addiction. I didn't think it was a thing. I used to play video games from when I woke up in the morning and played them all day until about 3 - 4 the next morning. I used to call in sick for work just so I could complete a quest on a new game I got. I eventually got fired and it turned my life around. I found help for my issues and I'm over it for the most part.

Unlike some of the Video Game Addiction sites I have found online, I'm not trying to ban gaming or bash gaming at all. In fact, I want to do the opposite. I want to educate people about gaming and it's history and teach the importance of moderation.


I want to be here for you all, I want to provide a service where I can help those suffering from game addiction. I mean all gaming too, one of my friends recently recovered from a Magic the Gathering addiction, so it's out there and I am here for you.

Next, I also want to be there for parents as well. Many parents don't understand the ESRB rating system too well and I want to provide classes on video game rating systems so that they can be well informed when purchasing games for their children.

In the future, we can make the world a better place. One piece of knowledge at a time.

Blog (Not-So) Weekly Update [3/4/2016 - 3/11/2016] - #12

Well ... hello, I've been gone for a long time haven't I? Well, I guess I'm back.

Anyway, the reason for my hiatus is I'm starting to settle down. I got married and got a job and I guess I'm living the average American dream (even the country is more of a nightmare). That being said, A lot has happened in the state of the collection ... I officially got a team of people and opened a museum of gaming, called "Iodine Opossum's Museum of Gaming" (IOMOG). You can find us on Twitter: @IOpossumMOG and on Facebook: IodineOpossumMuseumofGaming

After I opened those museums. I noticed at many schools here in the US seem to teach using a dull, boring manor. Many students think all learning is boring and stressful. So, I came up with a plan to teach people using a hands on approach and letting kids learn science and history. I opened more museums under the Iodine Opossum name. All museums so far listed below.

Iodine Opossum's Museum of History (IOMOH)
Iodine Opossum's Museum of the Occult (IOMOO)
Iodine Opossum's Museum of Science and Technology (IOMOST)
Iodine Opossum's Museum of Gaming (IOMOG)


There are also a lot of items I added to the collection. So many in fact that I can't list it all.

VIDEO GAME REVIEW #1 Bloody Roar (1997); Platform: Sony PlayStation.



In 1997, Bloody Roar was released. It is a unique fighting game, that had MANY sequels. Personally, it is one of my favorite games, but I'm not reviewing for me, I'm review for you. anyway, it is ran on 32 bit graphics, which to today's standards SUCK, but people who are nostalgic about the PS1, the graphics are still quite good.

Graphics Rating: 3/5 


Next I'm going to go over the storyline of it. There really isn't one. You're humans that can become anthropomorphic animals and you just fight.


Storyline Rating: 1/5


Now everything Else. All I can say about the game is, basically you fight and when you build up your "Beast" you become anthropomorphic animals and you fight (I know a bit redundant from my storyline section on this game). The game does have some unlockables that are pretty badass. The Characters though are quite boring and really have no backstory to speak of. The overall satisfaction of the game is also dragged down by the soundtrack, It's REALLY bad, it's that corny 90's rock kinda stuff you hear quite often in some of the older games. The soundtrack is so bad, it become good in a bad way. If you play, you better get used to the COMP. move spamming over and over again. It is an enjoyable game, but in small doses.


OVERALL RATING: 2.5/5

Blog (Not-So) Weekly Update [5/30/2015 - 6/6/2015] - #11

My computer broke so I wont be posting anything for a while. I'm using a tablet. Other than that I'm not really buying much, only boxes of loose games I have. Also, this fat, fluffy opossum is getting married soon. Yayyyyy, he proposed to me and I'm so excited.

I got a few games too. Can't remember the names of them right now buy they'll be added someday. Also, I did end up getting a replacement lava lamp to the one that broke.

Anyway, I'll update ya all again someday. Have a good life.

Blog Consolidation

So, if you don't already know ... I have like 6 blogs ... all of them are very similar ... I am going to consolidate them all to this blog.
Most of the content from the other blogs will be on here as individual posts that will carry the name that was the standalone blog's name.

Blog (Not-So) Weekly Update [12/2/2014 - 12/9/2014] - #10


So ... I found these in a lot that I purchased a LONG time ago ... I am thinking they're bootlegs or ROM hacks for the Atari 800 computer because a lot of the games that are written on the label, do not exist or are not on any database that is, but most games I have been able to find.

 
 
 
Other than that, my scanner died ... so no more scans for a while ... I'll probably photograph my larger items.

Nothing new.

Blog (Not-So) Weekly Update [9/16/2014 - 9/23/2014] - #8

Not purchasing anything new until I catch up on this blog in the collection. Other than that, the only update I can say is I've been adding pictures all day until late.

That's it

I'm Trying My Best

I've been working through the night for the past few days trying to post my entire collection ... It's almost 5:30AM and I have just finished for the night ... it's still only a small fraction of what I have. I decided not to buy anything else until I finish this blog.

This winter, I will start construction on my game room, which will be open to the public, by appointment only. It probably wont be available for that to happen until mid-2015.

Happy Gaming!!!

A few weeks ago, I bought a Mortal Kombat II arcade cabinet ... Cosmetically, I give it a 7/10 ... functionality though ... Almost perfect ... I eventually plan to buy Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 3, Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Mortal Kombat 4.

I will also be adding pictures of the Arcade Manuals too.
