Yup, that's a Wacom Cintiq 13HD. Very expensive indeed... but so awesome :D

Phew ok, I remembered that I have an HRAP EX-SE now, it's going to be alright ...
Exact same thing. First stick was an EX2. Now use EX-SE. To be fair the stick is pretty decent for an inexpensive stick. Until you are spoiled by the EX-SE

Ha, yeah they are pretty horrible. Originally bought it as a cheap stick shell to mod using a PS360+ when the notoriously unreliable PCB gave out. I might do it a bit sooner!

Long time no post. I recently remembered that I like video games, so I called up Japan and told them to send me their unwanted items.

Just a teaser ;)

And here's a few more pics of the kit. Most curious part must be the pack of Arcadia flyers.
Question: was there a poster in the original kit? If so which one?

Got me some stuffs.

Played SR the Third because it was free on Games with Gold and it was pretty awesome and bought SRIV on last week's Gold sale and people told me to play 2 before IV so I went to Gamestop and grabbed a used copy today. Gonna play it once I've beaten 3.

Image
Grabbed two Astro Boy figures at a flea market that I didn't know were going to happen today at the local nerd association's weekly meetup.

Image
They turned out to both be this one though so I didn't open the other one further once I saw that. It looks a bit better than the picture shows, it's weird light/angle.

Image
And this landed in the mailbox yesterday. It was a thing I felt I needed.

I've been looking for a decent Tetsuwan Atom figure for awhile now. I tend to go for larger 1/6 or higher scale figures (preferably made of resin or cold cast), but the prices on sites such as Rakuten or Yahoo! Japan can get absolutely insane, even some of the new-ish ABS-PVC stuff can fetch prices one wouldn't just sneeze at.

Yeah, I rarely drop a lot of money on figurines - those two I bought for 20 SEK ($3) each. It's my entire stance on figurines these days, I buy if I find cool for cheap.

But yeah. Six possible figurines in those boxes, and I got two of the butt filling pose. Would've probably most liked the one that has Atom fighting Pluto, but, hey.

Didn't the PS2 Astro Boy game suck?

Omega Factor is excellent though.

Oh man, I've wanted that Super Mario 3 LP and Zelda 7'' for a long time. (or the Zelda LP. Not picky :P)

I just can't convince myself to drop the cash on them.

Honestly yeah, the GBA one is the only really worth playing these days.

I've been watching for the Zelda record for a while (didn't want to pay what it normally goes for). Lucked out and got it for about half of what I've normally seen it at.
