I can ditch my original package Fallout, I've always wanted to try out the Gothic series, and I used to love Simon the Sorcerer on Amiga CD32.
The fact that all three cost me less than $11 on Gog.com helped out too.
Here's what I've bought and what I'll buy this month:
PS3:
Final Fantasy XIII
Resonance of Fate
Xbox 360:
Final Fight XBLA
After Burner Climax XBLA
Ketsui (JPN)
SSFIV
Wii:
Red Steel 2
Cave Story (this is pretty fucking rad, btw)
Infinito Supeisu

"Not for resale" two pack from SSJN. Thank you, sir.
Is Pure any good? I've seen new copies here really cheap, and I was tempted to buy one.
Its pretty awesome. Gets challenging though.Quote:

Again, Pure is brilliant. That game gives me full confidence that Split/Second is going to rule too.
Few more to my pile of shame
32GB iPad + Apple case. Better pics coming when I take pics of my new apartment. :D
Fallout 3 GOTY Edition for $30 via ebay.
Maybe I should just pm melf directly.
Is 20 bucks for a CDX a good deal?
Yes, that's a good deal considering a loose one goes for $60-80. Make sure it works though, they are fragile.
Otomedius Gorgeous (Platinum Hits) - J360
I love my CDX
It's a very damn good deal.Quote:

Grabbed the digital download version of MLB 2K10 for the PC over at ebgames.com for $2.99. I wasn't planing on picking this up in favor of The Show on PS3 but for three bucks I figured I'd give it a shot.

Knog Art Dog messenger bag! I really like these. I will post more about it in the bike thread, because messenger bags that don't look like garbage bags are way neat.
That looks great! Does your uke fit?
I haven't tried to put my ukulele in it. I don't think it would fit unless i didn't have anything else in it.
like all your tampons and make up
I only use those to soak up the blood and cover the bruises of people i BIKE FIGHT.
:lol: you so silly
16GB with the same case for me.Quote:

Congrats on the car purchase.
A friend of mine has Sync in his Mercury and it is pretty slick
Yeah that and the Sirius they gave me, which I played around with for 10 minutes and am already addicted to.

I'm really jealous. This is the car I really want right now. However, I just bought a 2010 Ford Focus for my wife, and my current car still runs fine, so I won't be buying a new car for myself for a while.Quote:

Hell, there's only 1 game coming out in the next few months I really want to pick up right away (Lost Planet 2) and that's just for the multi-player. These will make up the bulk of what I play until this winter or so.
That's truly amazing. I'm still trying to finish games I bought last year. I thought living on my own would give me more time for games but that isn't even the case. Hell, after the Gears crew disbanded I only turn my 360 on once a week if that.
But we do live in different places so that can be a huge reason why I play less games.
Gunbuster the Movie Blu-ray for $13 used at Moviestop. Quite the find, it's one of those retarded Honneamise releases that goes for $40+ normally.

$30 from the Best Buy private employee auction website (that my friend was so kind to invite me to). It just came today and as far as I can tell is 100% brand new!
http://www.astrofaz.com/Ebay/MadcatzManetteBison_v1.jpg
$20 from Gogamer.com
Obviously I'm sticking with my TE stick for SF4 but this should be great for the Cave shooters and XBLA games.
Ordered the Comcast HD triple play today to save on my currently insane monthly phone bill that skyrocketed due to a friend who simply refuses to stop calling me for 45 mins. at a time, and I'll finally get some HD out of my HDTV as well. I also bought an HD capture card for $85 off of Amazon and some component cables to make use of it. Since I plan to buy a PSP next week, I also got the Power Stone Collection for $10 and Wipeout Pure for $4 at Gamestop today, and bought Guilty Gear something or other for it at Amazon's Warehouse Deals site for $6. Picked up my new glasses today as well.
I also picked up a few games from Blockbuster but not as near as many as Timber...
No More Heroes
Condemned 2: Bloodshot
Virtua Fighter 5 Online (360)
Bionic Commando (360)
all for $15
On the none game side of the haul, $99 worth of chicken, turkey and red meat from Sams Club
I've gotten used to grass-fed beef. I can't buy anything else. It has a better flavor but it's expensive as FUCK.
Shouldn't it be?
I guess my question is does Sam's Club sell grass-fed beef?
Yeah but at $8/lb I can only afford to buy it every once in a blue moon. Probably cheaper if I just go to the NJ farms and pick it up.Quote:

Or you could do I what I do and make friends with the butcher at Whole Foods and get hooked up all the time with amazing hot beef injections
Maybe I'll do that. I don't eat beef enough to have to make friends with him but maybe I'll go back on it if it's at least $5 a pound.
If you have Earthfare, that is comparable to Whole Foods as well.
I don't.
I'm talking about getting Ribeyes and New York Strips that are almost $20 per pound wrapped up with a $3.49/lb ground beef sticker on them.Quote:

The guy behind the counter ain't gonna lose his job for some guy he wouldn't even recognize on the street. That Whole Foods has to get hundreds of thousands of different customers per week. It's on Union Square so yeah.
Beef talk, for realz
Yo Wendy's don't know SHIT about grass-fed Beef.
This pic is prime material for the Sword of Love thread.Quote:

Apples if I remember correctly. It's been a while.
For the girl I got:
Rabbids Go Home, Wii Sports Resort, and Dragon Quest Swords
For me, it's:
Sakura Wars PS2, Dual Shock 2 controller (so I can play it, dur), and Ogre Battle 64
Espgaluda II - iPhone
Best $5 game ever.
PN03 and Gunvalkyrie. (waits, just waits)
There are a few here who are fans of both games.
I like PN.03 a lot, I think a lot of folks missed the point of that one.
I rented both when they came out and never got around to finishing them. Found them in some thrift stores for really cheap.
You mean like it was intentionally bad and we didn't appreciate it for that?Quote:

Fill us in then, Dave!
Just booked my trip to San Diego in August. Going to be visiting the SONY HQ there. Can't wait.
...a new dryer!
San Diego is amazing. I love it there, perfect weather almost every day.Quote:

and I picked up a few last minute bday gifts for Timber :)
Assassin's Creed - Used (360)
Fable II - New (360)
G-Stop mgr wouldn't take "No" for an answer on reserving Fable 3.
Her: "You can put $5 down and guarantee-"
Me: "No thanks."
Her (later): "It's actually a really good deal, so you guar-"
Me: "Yeah, I've got enough games in my Pile of Shame that I'm never buying another $60 game, y'know?"
Her (at the end): "Well, just so you know, the $5 goes to the price of the game when it comes out."
Me: "Gotcha."
Who the fuck doesn't know this shit already?
It's really my own fault for giving that stupid company my $$$. Crap.
I hope you got it cheap, or for free. CS5 is just about released and is a hell of an improvement from both CS3 and CS4 (Adobe did phone it in with CS4, so there's no surprise there).Quote:

That would be Apple.Quote:

I'm talking about Apple pretty much telling Adobe to go fuck themselves now.
Weird considering Adobe pretty much kept Apple alive with their art production software. For years the retort was always, "Artists use Macs! Macs and Photoshop are perfect together, there's nothing better!"
