Nice hauls guys. I love the SF Udon books, I have the SF Tribute. Great coffee table books.

I sold off some dead wood to my LGS (and Shenmue to a friend for $40) and was able to finally get my hands on Skies of Arcadia.

I haven't played a new (new to me in this case) RPG since Grandia 2 came out. Really looking forward to it.

Seeing Queens Blade next to Secret of Kells is hilarious to me. Quite the contrast.

My oldest daughter wanted to design some shirts with these fabric markers so I thought I'd give one a shot too for fun. Thought it turned out alright. Guess I didn't buy it but close enough.

Yeah I wasn't actually aware that Too many games was a half a hour drive away from where I live until one of my friends sent me a picture of himself with the Two best friends play crew.

Will definitely need to look into going next year.

The Track and Field controller wasn't working 100%, but I only paid 10 dollars for it with the game and it turned out to be a simple fix. Nice port of Track and Field too. It not only includes all the events, but also has an initial entry before starting the game. I was happy to finally get a Guncon 2 since I got Time Crisis 2 for cheap a couple years or so ago and never got around to getting the gun for it. Made sure to get the cable for it too (ten dollars for the gun and five for the cable).

lol at that first pic. Almost looks like one of the vendors at the show (especially with the sticker on Air Fortress), when it's actually from my box 'o NES games.

Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?

Those are just retarded buy it now labels. I found one that I could actually bid on and it ended at 30.00 dollars.

Picked up a few things at Anime Expo: my first Nendroid, a small artbook by Lunatic Joker, some new thigh highs for my Nyaruko outfit, and I finally got around to picking up Espgaluda 2.

Sorry for the long post..

Here are my pick ups from the last month or so.

New reading material.

Image


Stocking up for a trip to the range with the GF (she likes shooting the .22)

Image


Some table top games.

Image

Image


LEGO store just opened up down the road. Got a Mini fig Simpsons and a TMNT Key chain

Image


GameStop had a B@G! free sale recently and so I picked up these six games.

Dead Rising-$17
Last of Us- $17
Beyond- Free

Image

Witcher 3-$51
Dying Light-$40
Alien- Free

Image


Got Guilty Gear XRD -Sign- (or whatever its called) for $#) on Amazon for the collectors edition which was 5 bucks cheaper than the stand alone copy!

Image


Got the new Blazeblu for %50. The Tomb Raider Temple of Osiris was on clearance at GameStop for $5 so why not?! It does not have the game but a figure, map, and art book.

Image


Here is the back of the TR box to give you an idea of what the stuff looks like.

Hifiman Modified He-5 "Code-X"
S/N is #0001 , ok ,it might be easier to find model that sounds this good but sometimes it's all about "scoring" that holygrail that you have been looking for a long time.

Nice supergun pestro! Those things seem rather luxurious, practically more expensive than a candy cab itself.

Thanks man! :) Really glad to own one! Yeah, they're not cheap, lol, and the shipping + duty fees also added a bit...

Decided to get the DOJ Type-A kit from Kotobukiya. Looks awesome :D :awe: And so was the taxes and fees also :evil:

Image

And since I have acid burns on my PGM mobo that came with the DDP2 from Yaton I bought a spare - just in case. This one came with battery cell holder from the factory. Haven't seen one of those before :-o Might be I haven't been looking in the right places. Unluckily the case is pretty beat up.

The previous week-end, my CPU vent died on me and I have to buy a new one.
I decide to get the Artic Alpine 64Plus to fit inside (with some complications, but it works) my Aspire M1201:
Image
This big guy can handle 100W of CPU, so it will last long enough.

In the same week-end, I bought a Microsoft Sidewinder Force Feedback 2 Joystick from a pawn shop for just 6 euros. Granred, it wasn't in a box and it didn't have the power cord, but with the PS2 cord and the Windows 7 drivers I was able to use this thing:
Image
It was complicated to use in shmup games, but I wonder if is doable with enough training.

And, in these days, I bought the Humble Game Making Bundle for 12 euros. Considering that I plan to develop videogames in the future (I'm busy with university), paying ten bucks for saving more than one thousand dollars is a great deal that I couldn't refuse for any reason.

A few things I picked up for the summer, various genres for various consoles I somewhat collect for. NES games, especially uncommon ones, are really hard to come by these days, and that Dracula X cart is the first one I saw locally in ages, so I traded for it.
