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

[moh]

god damn, thats a fancy looking coffee maker. congrats

[rugdoctor]

3rd model to the best available in NZ..cafe coffee is rediculously overprice here to I plan to use this to put an end to that...will take me 422 days at 1 cup a day to recoupe the price of the machine. Self cleaning too which I like.

will take me 422 days at 1 cup a day to recoupe the price

the fact that you have done this math.

[rugdoctor]

hey...cant help it, its in my asian genes

[moh]

hahaha, enjoy the coffee, bud

[psoslayer]

No manual?

[trap15]

What do you think the thing on the bottom right is?

[pestro87]

I've gone from:

5:00pm - "This looks cool!"

7:00pm - "meh - not as good as I thought"

9:00pm - "Fuck this. Anyone want a used copy of Ginga Force?"

Really? :O I wasn't expecting that... What is it that you don't like about it?

[drauch]

What do you think the thing on the bottom right is?

Oh, those aren't mini posters...I guess I've got manuals tacked all over my wall.

[rancor]

Really? :O I wasn't expecting that... What is it that you don't like about it?

I think for someone that enjoyed Eschatos it will be fun, but I really wasn't into that game either. It's really just a matter of a thousand minute details that annoy and snowballing into the game not being fun (for me). One of the things that annoys me the most is that there is so much shit going on in other planes that have zero effect on what you're doing at the moment. Holograms of rabbits above, enemies out of range below, floating coins and credits drifting toward, around, and away from you. It really is a pain to discern what is harmful/helpful every split second, especially when there are so many varieties of bullets looking to wreck your shit as well. This coming from someone that doesn't see any problems with the small and oddly colored bullets in Garegga..

It's not a bad game - it's just not for me.

Thanks for elaborating! I was wondering for a split second if I should cancel my pre-order from Play Asia since they still haven't shipped it yet ( ) but I feel reassured now

Also, I'm with you on the color of the bullets in Garegga, haha.

Got this some time last month: Rodotron 666A-29 Tri-Sync Chassis...



Got this last week: a cab http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 90#p877890

That looks like my first attempt at a supergun, minus the Rubbermaid stuff I used.

[Deca]

1/10 scale drift chassis!



I'd actually been working on getting this since last September or so but stuff kept getting delayed. It was worth the wait though, local friend runs shop.tinyrc.com and just added the stuff on to an order of 3R mini-z parts. Got me a great price!

Also, I actually got this next one back in December, but it's pretty damn awesome! 2003 SVT Focus (60k miles!), finally own a sporty car! The car came with the nice multispoke rims from the EAP, these 5spokes have my winter tires on them.

[CHI]

Wow, you must have a big supergun
I got this chassis for my cab so i could hook-up my 360

Wow, the cab of the early nineties... i remember i use to play Flying Shark on one of these machines using my knuckles (hence: the buttons )

Congrats Mate .
Never reprinted so pretty hard to find .

Wow, that's nice to know, cheers for the info dude, it came with the cab i got recently

[AKRATEN]

Pixlejunkie made me this device so that I can record some video's from my arcade cab.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R5LOgfvu9A
here is a video I made with it.

Thanks Pixlejunkie and Muchi Muchi Spork for your help with this project.
I am really stoked.

[rugdoctor]

Dont know how "awesome" the product is, but the price was:

For $32/20quid, I got this (stick #25) delivered in 2 days from online retailer



I tried to order 2 but the order system say no Also running out of excuses for the missus for arcade stick collection.

[Softdrink 117]

rancor, thank you. This is totally awesome.



I was really pleasantly surprised by the quality of the parts. Not only is almost everything cast in the appropriate color, but the overall level of detail on the kit components is easily on par with-- if not outright better than-- a lot of other high-grade kits I've seen and worked with (Kotobukiya comes to mind). Very cool stuff, indeed.

I'm definitely going to build some of the other kits on my backlog first-- I'll wait to tackle this in real MASTER QUARITY until I feel good and ready for it.

[psoslayer]

What do you think the thing on the bottom right is?

Ah, true. Looked like another copy to me. The small flyer on the manual space was misleading me.

[Necronopticous]

[Stormwatch]

A pleasant surprise: bought the Caanoo wifi dongle for $4, got this strap as a freebie.

[null1024]

incoming SONY products

Dark gray PS1 controller, a $20 pair of Sony headphones, and a silver PSP to replace my old duct-tape covered one that's beaten up enough that it crashes sometimes and doesn't feel like turning on sometimes [possibly related, but I'm too lazy to fix it, gonna sell it soon, and it's likely an easy fix].



Despite looking sparkled and black like that, it's more like an inverted color version of the normal gray PS1 controller.
And I'm so glad I got a PSP 2000, the d-pad is miles better than the 1000's. Not that good, but still better.

This PSP has some duct-tape on it just to keep the battery door from falling off, but it's not nearly as bad as my old one, which is a mess of duct-tape and scratches. And the analog nub on it is screwed up.

[system11]

Yeah.. well, I can see what game this is.



Owned.

[Vexorg]

Got the rest of the stuff to build my new PC today:
-Asus P8Z77-V motherboard
-Core i5 3570k processor
-16GB DDR3 RAM
-256GB Samsung 840 Pro SSD
-Corsair H100i closed loop water cooling system
-Some random DVD-R drive
(not pictured) Seasonic X-850 modular PSU

Oh, and also got a copy of Muchi Muchi Pork/Pink Sweets that just happened to show up at the same time.

[Kiken]

A little late on this but:

Ginga Force for 360 and Strikers 1945 Part II PCB.

...also, time for a brand new car:


Finally, a new computer desk (although, this was a belated birthday gift from my folks):

[shmuppyLove]

Yay a Honda Fit!

I love small cars that look like sneakers

Now get with the modding:

[mesh control]

I found a Carhartt jacket at the Goodwill for $12 a few weeks ago and I got the patch in the mail the other day.

[DEL]

Not sure if its awesome, but it looks pretty cool. I recently got myself a Neo Geo X Gold.

If anyone here has any info about forthcoming game card releases for it.... I'd be very interested

[Fudoh]

If anyone here has any info about forthcoming game card releases for it.... I'd be very interested

just a day or two ago another card was announced, again a full collection of games including Metal Slug 2 and Blazing Star. tba for late April or May. They'll also bring a FW update, likely to stop loading roms from the SD Card.

And speaking of it: roms are playable without any modding if you use a re-wired SD to MicroSD adapter. There's also a fix for the emu itself which produces a MUCH better picture. Kills the edge enhancement and does proper linedoubling (448 lines instead of 480).

[dingsbums]

2 PCB's ( but this time no pictures of the PCB's because Vimana is installed in the Astro City & I was to lazy to take it out just for a picture )

^Ace haul! Love Mazinger and Nadia! What's the beach babe volleyball game?
