So, when was Tales of Vesperia released for X360 again?

I hope it was worth the wait. :) 3D Archives was an obligatory get and Sonic Generations a spontaneous purchase I decided to get since I realized classic mode in this might just be true to the first Mega Drive game.

I had to try very hard to keep myself from bursting into laughter in the middle of the campus library.

Got it from local fb retro gaming community, the price was embarrassing but I can not be happier.

Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Good stuff! Looks like it's in excellent shape - the white border on mine's a bit dull.

In case it's any news, blackoak translated an interview with composer Naoki Kodaka that elaborates on the sheet music in the back of the manual.

Yeah it was in mint shape and got it for 50.00 US dollars.

Indeed! Very rare limited pressing of Government Plates. I think there are only 900 of them.

Just got one of these cases for my Surface Pro 3
Really well made and truly improves the usefulness of the SP3.
Looks good too...very professional looking. Many sleeves/cases for tablets border on the juvenile in terms of design and color choices.

My girl wanted an embroidery machine for Christmas. I had to learn the software to get her comfortable with it. Once I realized I could make hats I was hooked.

Cobra on the right isn't a recent purchase, but Armaroid Lady indeed is.

You ever see the 1:1 reproduction of the psycho gun in your searches? Passed one up once for cheap and always regretted it. I obviously need it.

Just got back from my 2nd trip to Japan a couple of days ago, and I expanded my game collection by quite a bit while I was over there. Not pictured is the JP 360S that I bought, a nice replacement for my old-model JP 360 I had to get rid of a few months back (was on its last legs).

Yeah there are a bunch of psychogun replicas out there, I myself owning the most recent 2014 version.
They date as far back as 1983 (with the ’83 model still being the only psychogun replica allowing the launch of missiles goddammit!), and have been regularly manufactured and produced every few years since 1998.
Almost all have been 1:1 scale (sans a couple), made from PVC, with Blue or Black colour variants.
The 2014 replica is the only model with silver plating on the shaft, and is made entirely from ABS plastic as opposed to PVC, so it’s significantly sturdier. It retailed at 9,500 yen, and can still easily be found new at that price. So if you want one to go with your red leotard, I do highly recommend the 2014 release.

or better yet, become the ultimate Space Adventurer with this handy psychogun screwdriver set:

I don't actually own a ds, but my girl friend does so I thought I'd buy a few games for it. EO3 already has me totally hooked. Tried polarium for a few minutes this morning, I really suck at it, I can't survive more than a minute or so :x I also have electroplankton on the way.

I'll have to stick skies of Arcadia on the back burner till I'm done with EO3 I think, but I'm really excited to play that.

First game in the Warriors franchise I actually play. Is pretty fun.

How's that Puyo Puyo game on the XBOX ONE?

They did a review and achievements walkthrough over the weekend on Windows Phone Central (www.wpcentral.com) --- the verdict seems to be that it's a worthwhile pickup.

Spec Ops Jr Wallet, Photon Freedom with covert nose, and a Gerber EAB. I dig how the wallet has a spot to hold change. Seems to be super durable too. The Photon is great. Flashlights have really come a long way. It's so handy to have a flashlight available at all times. Now that I have the EAB I don't have to mess around with sharpening knives anymore. Really easy to carry too.

Playing Tetris and Puyo Puyo at once is pretty crazy, but in a good way. I'd say it's definitely worth getting.
