This isn't exactly something I just bought, but I think it fits. On Saturday I waited in line for 5 hours in Palo Alto CA to meet Yuji Horii. It was an early launch event for Dragon Quest VI on DS. I got him to sign my copy of VI, as well as my NES copy of Dragon Warrior 4.

Here is the legend himself drawing a slime on my NES cart.

Section Z for the Famicom Disk System

The biggest difference so far is that this version has a save option unlike the u.s. version.

I collected FDS for a while too, and Section Z was a pleasant surprise. The save features on disk versions are really nice, worth the loading times IMO.

I try to avoid it. Those rounds I bought with the piece for conceal carry purposes. My 4 die reloading set and brass for .50 GI isnt here yet so I can range shoot, and I'm scouting someone to custom make a bullet mold for it, it's an uncommon caliber of course.

I've had good luck reloading .500 mag brass and pouring my own lead cast bullets for it, I'd use that mold but it's a 440 grain bullet and too long for the GI brass cases.

I can upload the scanned manual (if you want) from which this poster is made of. But it's only 600 dpi (I don't have a better scanner :? :cry: ), but for me it looks nice enough :D .
Then you can cut it like you want and you can get one made in a print shop locally or online (I used a online print shop since our little town has no print shops :roll: - mine has cost around 17 Euro incl. shipping)

Not so much something I bought as something I searched for, found and made. I'm a HUGE Sleep fan and really wanted to track down as much of their old footage as possible and found what looks to be all of what's out there. I made DVD's and covers (which I'm pretty stoked about) and CD's with all the audio I can find (the pic is missing the CO show from this past year - I think my fiancee has it in her car). One of the DVD's is a house party Sleep played in 1992. Amazing. I'm just super stoked I could cull all of this together!

And it goes without saying that if you have some footage not listed on those DVD covers - HIT ME UP!! :mrgreen:

I absolutely loved their track in "Gummo", but I've never heard anything outside of that. What song would you recommend next for a person who liked "Dragonaught".. (I think that was the name of the track..)

That is a great song and I would highly recommend picking up the album it apprears on, 'Holy Mountain'. You'll hear the Sabbath influences and the fuzzy, 1970's amp tone. It's a stellar album. Standouts are Evil Gypsy/Solomon's Theme, Aquarian, Holy Mountain and The Druid. If you get the new reissue, it has a cover of Sabbath's Snowblind, which is amazing.
