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

Speakers/headphones are almost always the bottleneck for sound quality in any system. If he's using them for a PC with a dedicated sound card of any kind, that's already good enough.

The Amp is REALLY important......

Got a couple of new Super Famicom games — without needing to sell a kidney, no less.

[BIL]

Nice. CIB Sparkster's definitely one of those typically kidney-pricey SFC games, sadly. Worth it too. ;3

I've been curious about the SFC Takahashi Meijin games for a while. Hudson-branded stuff in general, really... finally getting into the PC Engine, so I've been enjoying lots of stuff sporting their name.

[CIT]

I actually just got Adventure Island cuz it came extremely cheaply with GS Mikami. Never really been into the series, but supposedly that's the nicest one in it. Soundtrack by Yuzo Koshiro as well, though what I've heard so far didn't impress me that much. Second one on SFC departs from the Wonderboy formula and has an overworld and RPG elements.

Sparkster, yeah... took me a loooong time to finally find a decently priced one in nice condition.

You mean, departed from the formula of the first WB? Most WB games departed from the formula of the first game and also have RPG elements.

Yes

[MintyTheCat]

Got the greatest masterpiece of German cinema:

Now that does look rather interesting - I shall have to look into that

[qmish]

I dunno. If it were me I'd sell the Buchla and take that $3k or so and put that all into euro. Euro is blowing up like crazy right now and the stuff module makers are putting out these days is insane.

That depends on what each one searchs for.

You can have 9U of euro and perform modular suite realtime and that would be awesome.
Or you can have small box of modules and overdub sounds and that would be awesome.

Some people choose best modules for them from different manufactors, some stick just to certain ones, like having Make Noise Shared System or Wiard or Buchla above.

Goodbye, world.

Finally upgraded to a newer phone, the cover came with it for free.



If anybody is interested below is my previous phone which I bought 8.5 years ago.

Kevlar-capped according to the seller (I wear steel-capped at work, so it makes for a welcome change).

[RaidenViper]

Goodbye, world.

Nice Dao! IIDX is the best.

How much did Empress cost you?

[cj iwakura]

Goodbye, world.

YOU LUCKY BAASTAD

You do realize how valuable Empress is now, right? Hundreds. Never parting with my launch copy.

I got lucky and blagged it for about 8,000¥ (about £50) before shipping etc. Both discs and manual, not a blemish on any of the contents. I'm aware of how much it actually goes for, which is why it's never leaving my side.
The FP7 EMP is brand-new. Loving it. IIDX is completely different to anything I've ever played, and it'll be a fun journey getting to a decent skill level.

[Tarma]

Airlink 100v step-down transformer. Decided it was time I got a proper 100v step-down for all my Japanese kit... most UK step-downs only seem to drop to 110/114v which is fine for US equipment but really isn't that suitable for Japanese consoles.

[Obiwanshinobi]

How's Pop'n Rhythm (Pop'n Music) for the Wii? Neither my kind of a genre (yet), nor do I have any urge to buy any more Wii accessories any time soon, BUT Konami having put its name on the box, I doubt it's no good whatsoever.

I was pretty much into IIDX at one point. Was able to clear some 10s/11s. Bought Empress on release date and it's still flying around here. Never came around buying a dj dao board though. Good stuff.

Every shmupper should play IIDX.

I got the Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U bundle.

[Obiwanshinobi]

"Only On PlayStation" now? Then again - stark, budget layout of the lot makes it seem as if that caption made it there by accident.

[gbaplayer]

I got the Xenoblade Chronicles X Wii U bundle.

Me too. And what a great Game Xenoblade Chronicles X is.

[Obiwanshinobi]

Still no time to play any of these yet.

RoF is long as hell. I didn't like the story much, and the map system is just weird. But the gameplay was really good, and inventive. I'm always torn on buying it again or not.

[TransatlanticFoe]

Yeah it's long and the arena grinding bits are really tedious. You need to grind and it's probably the best place to do it, but you have to repeat the same fight several times before it unlocks the next stage.

The battle system is ridiculously fun though, once you figure it out - no thanks to the barebones tutorials. Some of the debuffs are cheap as hell though, get poisoned or frozen and you may as well restart the battle.

[Domino]

That's six months worth of stuff right there.

[RealPlumpBox]

Bought some stuff for me instead of Xmas shopping....Oh well.


LEGO The Movie the game based on the movie based on the toy- $20 new Best Buy.




Skylanders Swap Force- $20 new Target clearance.




Wasteland 2 Directors Cut _ $20 new GameStop.




Rodea the Sky Soldier- $20 new Amazon
Some tasty K-cups- $8 Amazon




My monthly TacPack




Lastly me and the GF after about 50 hrs. beat everything there is to do and every achievement in Peggle 2. That game is now our bitch.

[BIL]

Quality haul - Metal Storm, Solbrain, Burai and the Konami STGs in particular. FC carts always look so alluring in a big multicolour batch.
