Awesome stuff you've just bought (+pics please)

I think I always preferred the MD game over the SNES one when I was a kid. Maybe that was just because I never owned the latter myself though.

Still on the fence wether to pick up Turtles in Time. I like the game, but just not sure if I like it €250-much.

I know anything SNES is just insanely priced these days, but I can't believe games like this are considered worth anywhere near this as far as playability. Am I crazy? How is this even a consideration? I guess I've lost touch.

[RealPlumpBox]

I need to stop spending money!!

Liife is Strange LE

Cold Fear, Blinx

Duck Dynasty (I told myself when it was less that ten bucks I will buy it. Well it was $6 so I was true to my word.)
WRC 5

Quake Wars, Etrain Mystery Dungeon

ReRev2, Stick it to the Man (I don't even own a PS4)

Been wanting this forever and finally bought it.

Some new music. Juicy J, Blaze

Two new hoodies.

My monthly TacPack subscription box.

Whoa, that's awesome. Love Kofie's work, I have his book but atm that's about as close as I'll ever get to owning any of his work.

I thought the same thing when the book came out, but he made a series of relatively small pieces for his last exhibition at a price that was close enough for me to bite. I'm gunning for one of those big boys eventually, tho.

how much?! I've only been lightly hovering around the game collecting scene, but this was always one I intended to get eventually. guess that boat dun' sailed.

Congrats - that Juicy J album is amazing. After that hit, I was hoping that psychedelic hip-hop was going to be the next big thing.. But it seems to have fizzled.

What exactly are "dummy rounds" for?

Liife is Strange LE

Is there actually a disc with the game on in there? Squeenix were being really vague on that one.

A dummy round or drill round is a round that is completely inert, i.e., contains no primer, propellant, or explosive charge. It is used to check weapon function, and for crew training. I use it to make sure my firearm will feed properly and eject properly after breaking it down and reassembling. Also to practice clearing jams.

I know there is a game case but I have not opened it yet. This says it has all five episodes on the disk. Hope it helps.

DMR Vault pedals, signature edition - tired of (much smaller) cheap pedals that came on my new bike, didn't really feel like my feet were planted properly.

Edit: tried them. If you ride anything that isn't a full 'road bike', you want these pedals. Don't even look at anything else unless the cost is too high.

A pity, that she released just 2 albums and some singles and that's all.

Ai-Chan is the PS4 mascot character ..... in Taiwan only. I don't know why Taiwan gets a mascot and nobody else does. I got this through pchome global.

What is that in terms of region coding?

[NeoStrayCat]

^That's the GSRR (Game Software Rating Regulation), Taiwan's version of the ESRB.

Wasn't he asking about potential region locks? I'm sure he asked about potential region locks. Am I stupid?

[trap15]

Yes that's what he's asking about. No you're not stupid.

[system11]

I'm actually not sure, it hardly matters since you can sign up to any local PSN at account creation, and all the games are region free.

[evil_ash_xero]

I didn't know they had a mascot. Neat.

I can see why it's not a mascot, in the West.

She's too good for the west. The confusing thing is why she isn't in Japan.

[evil_ash_xero]

.....Duck Dynasty?!

Only 6 dollars, but still!

Is there a story, with this mascot? I can't seem to find much about her.

I don't think so, but she's regularly used in Taiwan branding. There was an Uncharted pack too with different art, but I haven't played Witcher 3 yet.

My thoughts exactly.

Got a replacement PS3 at a pawn shop, seemed in great shape. Fingers crossed that it lasts.

Just add "s" "m" or "l" to imgur filenames and it'l resize the image to small, medium or large thumbnail respectively. Sorry if you already knew, it was a shocking revelation to me recently. :O

Picked this up in Paris over the weekend:



BTW, Paris game shops are amazing, probably the best outside of Japan. There's a whole cluster of them on Bvd. Voltaire, between République and Oberkampf. Unfortunately I only had an hour to check them all out.

Meh. The show kept me entertained for a while. I know the game is a pile of ........duck shit.......oh well.

[Frenetic]

A new filly has been added to the stable...





(Actually, my friend has lent it to me. Goes to show it's not all about stuff the you have. It's also about the friends you have! )

Those were 50 times better during the 90's to 2007~ish, you have seen only the shadows, the leftovers from that glorious past.
Actually it wasn't only République in Paris, but in many cities as well that you could find absolutely great shops, France was a retrogaming paradise before it all went wrong with eBay and the post-crisis collectorista-maliciosa.
