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

[moh]

I was jealous of everyone's super nice watches so I went on eBay and bought this one for $4:

now thats some bawlah-ass shit, right there.

[EllertMichael]

Do you have a hi-res picture (JPG, PNG, TIFF, etc) of that?

Wondering this myself...
Looks really fantastic, Stealth!

A Sony a99 DSLT camera

[xbl0x180]

That's a balleur camera. Did it come with the lens or did you get that separately

[RaidenViper]

That's a really nice camera.

What is the price range on these?

I just looked it up and it's a few grand I have a cheap0 Nikon I got for free at work

[neorichieb1971]

Sony do a nice NEX range of cameras. Very small, but very powerful.

Almost 3k $

But judging from the specs, That's some real good equipment

I'm much happy with the pictures from my Nikon 1 J1. So a new camera is not really what I need.

I already had the lens.
a99 is a great camera, i am still trying to learn how to use it, there is an massive amount of options in the menu... mostly because of the movie function i guess.
Also it has EVF wich a bit hard to get used to as my old camera did not have that.

[PC Engine Fan X!]

Is this EVF short for "electronic viewfinder"? On my old-school Canon S50 digital camera, there's a manual viewfinder in-addition to the LCD viewfinder screen setup (which nice to have for framing them shots).

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

I'll ping my buddy and see if he can send me a hi-res image. I'm in the process of trying to get him to do a poster based on the cover of R-Type on the MSX/68000k.

Soul of Chogokin Space Battleship Yamato. Very cool toy.... has a remoted and the ship can play three songs from the show, bridge alarms sounds along with the bridge windows lighting up, wave cannon lights up and sounds to go with it, along with the rear thrusters lighting up, and gun firing noises etc.

It's has nifty other bells and wistles on the body. The LED lights are really cool; they fade in and out plus change color... not just on and off but a cool fade effect. Plus all of this is done via remote. Really nice toy.

[Octopod]

^ That's bad ass. How long is it?

[Strider77]

about 17 inches long or 425 mm

[shmuppyLove]

OMG that's fucking awesome

The little scale fighter jets on the base are a super nice added touch!

Must have been expensive ...

Just got visited by the Internet Fairy. On Friday, I got a notice in the mail that they would soon be installing 100-megabit Internet in our building for only $60 a month (which is less than my existing cable Internet,) with potential for up to a gigabit, and already managed to get it installed today. It took about three seconds to decide to ditch Comcast... Just downloaded Left 4 Dead off Steam (about 6GB) in less than 10 minutes.

absolutely beautiful - Is that the one that Hideaki Anno was involved in the design of?

[Strider77]

No that was a model kit.... this a toy (for big kids). Diecast, plastic etc.

[Stefan_L]

Is this EVF short for "electronic viewfinder"?...

Thats correct... and it is not easy to get used to after using OVF (optical viewfinder) for many years.

How much was it? It's awesome.

[Strider77]

Used locally for 230.00, but there is a story behind it. I bought this twice, it's back where it belongs is the end of the story.

I have seen them from 260 to 300.00 new. Here is a better pic.



Also got this last week

Seems like a lot to me. I pay 35€ for 50mbit, and that includes free land line calls.

Internet in the US is slower and more expensive than just about any other civilized nation in the world. Vexorg is getting an awesome deal by US standards.

[Vexorg]

Yes, this is replacing Comcast service that's advertised as being good for up to 50 megabits (but in practice I don't think I've seen more than 35 Mbit down and 7-8Mbit up) and costs about $5-6 per month than I'm paying for this. I think Comcast offers service that is supposed to go up to 105 megabits, but at a cost of $120 a month. Either way, anything that results in less having to deal with Comcast (which is a near-monopoly on any sort of halfway decent Internet connection in this area, I think CenturyLink DSL tops out at around 12 megabits around here) is a good thing.

Oh yeah, and the new one has no bandwidth caps either (although I haven't ever really had an issue with that anyway.)

[Adderall]

I get 100 down and 10 up for about $70. That said, even if comcast came out with something better I would never switch to them.

Vexorg that's pretty awesome.. make sure you hide any torrenting so you don't get throttled.
