A pair of sandals.



Much needed to be worn with socks this year. Speaking of which...



A pair of socks.

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.

Nice. What's on it? Is it a GST, or is arranged? I had a SMB3 7'' that I was disappointed to find was all arrange tracks. I'm guessing the 12'' has both?

Ah, that's a shame. Still, it's a cool item to have in your collection.

[rapoon]

iphone died, these are all stock photos.

received both of these today

one of the best books on brutalism

[broken harbour]

Found this in the wild yesterday:



Clearly, owned by a collector, it looks new, its in a clear case, but he also only opened up the original plastic on the end to make flap so you can take the cartridge in and out, even the poster it comes with doesn't look like it's ever been unfolded. He also had Super Turrican which I passed on but now I'm regretting it... might go back today and get it.

wolves in the throne room cd and cassette preorder



Cone the Weird - boyhood print


none have arrived but I bought Allan Holdsworth tickets, United Nations tickets, Mammoth Grinder and Power Trip tickets, and Pinback with Tera Melos tickets.

[rapoon]

^^^ not my style but really nice linework. introduced me to a new artist.


ordered today:



Platinum 3775 Century w/ Ultra Extra Fine nib.

[Some-Mist]

it's probably the most standard print by Cone as most of his other stuff is... well... kind of weird lol.

are you good at writing/calligraphy?

it's actually something I've always wanted to get into but I have this innate 5th grader chicken scratch handwriting and I think I'm a lost cause. One of my buddy's who just got married had his wedding invitations done in a custom calligraphy style his friend created by hand and it was pretty impressive stuff.
I guess she charges people a decent sum to do their invites which would be something nice to have on the side.

[rapoon]

I use all my fountain pens for illustrating and sketching. it makes the whole process that much more enjoyable.

if you're ever in the market, I can't recommend the Rotring Artpen w/ EF nib or the Platinum Carbon Pen enough:

[Some-Mist]

not in the market just yet, but those are pretty reasonable in price (for a beginner like me) especially when compared the new one you just bought..

[rapoon]

I also have a TWSBI 580 which I love (bout $50. well made, very wet inkflow)

of all my fountain pens, the Rotring Artpen is my favorite. The Platinum Carbon is great for cross hatching.

Last of my beloved UMECHAN TEAM Famicom port quartet that I needed to get, and the most lovingly presented. Gradius II might have the blingin reflective box but clear blue plastic has no equal.

One of these days I'll get an awesome camera.

inFAMOUS Collection
Yakuza Dead Souls
Yakuza Kenzan

[iconoclast]

The most awesome thing I've ever bought:


So fucking excited to finally see them live.

[Some-Mist]

Yakuza Kenzan

can you read/understand japanese? I always wanted to check out kenzan but didn't know if I'd be able to follow the game at all.

also - yakuza 4 is a must have if you're a fan of the main series. I can take/leave yakuza 3 because I found the orphanage sections annoying.

[rapoon]

negative ghostrider!

but there are some good guides (youtube & gamefaqs)

[Some-Mist]

interesting... I've played many japanese only games with guides (like moon: remix rpg adventure and ikenie no yoru) so I might have to snag it and check it out. I haven't checked out any of the off-shoot yakuza titles though I love all the main installments.

[matrigs]

i love you, rancor

You should be they're amazing live! I got to see them in a tiny (for them) venue and it was pretty much one of the best gigs I've been to.

[Some-Mist]

that post is all sorts of awesome ^

how long have you had recca for?

[Stealthlurker]

I've had it for a while now... maybe several years?

[Some-Mist]

still haven't played it myself since I don't own a 3ds or the physical copy, but I'm pretty jealous
that things worth a fortune now which makes finding an original copy pretty terrible.

[SuperGrafx]

I like the Super Mario 2 glasses.
Any chance you'd be willing to sell 1 or 2 from the set?

[Icarus]

They are coming to London in November, and I'm going to do everything I can to see them live. :3
Hoping to see Kalafina in Tokyo on November 1st too, as I'm over there for a week around that date. Fingers crossed I can score a ticket when they go on general sale in September.

Stealth lurker please put me in your will.
