Penny Arcade advertised a contest in which the first 500 people to complete Bayonetta on Hard received a shirt. Pretty neat. I had no idea I made it until it showed up today. ...and yeah, that's a Bayonetta Matryoshka doll on the sleeve.

Haha, jinx :P

I told Kiken, hey, you just need to load up your save ;) It took him a while to do it, and we weren't sure if they'd accept an import copy entry, but here it is! :lol:

^ weird that the artist would use paint , an not computer-art for that type of thing :? But im all for traditional painting, just guessing it was a lot harder to get that pixelly old-skool arcade 'look' with real paint?

Not sure if there are sneakerheads here, but I have a thing for finding vintage DS shoes - picked up three pair of Nike ACG's and four pairs of Nike Prestos in the last two sneaker hunting trips. Love me some DS OG's :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I'm a somewhat sneakerhead. I'm still pissed at myself for not buying multiple pairs of those Olympic Presto's. I still have them, and they're beat, but I love em. People used to stop me everywhere in college and be like your shoes are fucking ill! I get weirdass looks everywhere when I wear my yellow Puma's. Any soccer heads know them as the trainer versions of the V1.10's.

I used to have a pair of those green black and silver Nikes. Those are some comfy shoes, and more durable than I expected.

The Olympic Prestos were the shit. Never copped, totally regret it. Prestos have to be the most comfortable shoe Nike has ever made.

Same guy I got these from has OG Clogposites in the digicamo print. Totally sick. Might be the ugliest shoe nike has ever made, but man, you got to give them props for doing so.

Here's a better pic of the Prestos I shot while drinking my morning coffee:

Ahh much better pic now. That's not what I pictured for the fugly ones in the previous pic.

I always see Nike sneakers that I love, but my foot is too wide for them. I wear a 4E and have stupidly high arches, so I end up buying whatever fits. :(

The straps across the arch are pretty tight - hoping they won't take too long to break in!

@brentsg - Nike runners are notoriosly narrow but the sb line tends to be pretty good for wide feet.

HOLY CRAP! These just came to me this afternoon! I've been looking at reviews of this particular set of headphones for months now and I've had high expectations for these things. Even a wannabe audiophile like myself is satisfied with the current quality of these things!
I love these things so much already that I don't regret spending the money on them, which set me back on my funds for the Xbox360.

So what are the specs and model no. on that cool headphones set, ATH-A700s? Sounds like it set you back some serious $$$. Are they pretty good with heavy bass output as well? And would you say that they are good enough for DJing or just some serious pro-audio reference studio headphones hooked up to an A/V stereo reciever/amp instead?

I've got an older Techinca produced PR-HT600 stereo headphones with solid heavy bass output...it still works like a charm despite it's age.

The thing I don't like about this kind of headphones is that they press my head too hard. After like an hour or so using them, it starts feeling uncomfortable. I've tried adjusting the tightness to no avail.

I'm getting a new external hard drive and a controler for traktor (DJ program if you dont know) this month. so yeah back on to headphones Im looking for some good inear ones and maybe some over ear ones for when i play out. I was looking at them monster cables/Dr Dre beats for the over ear and Shure for the in ear ones but its all over my head when it comes to actual info/spec. sugestions?

Won't be using the S-video much when the RGB cable gets here, but a nice little addition nonetheless.

The model number is his username, iirc :lol:

Audio Technica make microphones/shields, headphones etc so I'd assume these are low end market monitoring headphones for producing/djing with balanced audio range.
