Purchased a hard to find copy of the Sonic CD Soundtrack for 27 bucks new.:link:
I decided to pick up a used wireless adaptor for my (2) 360s, instead of sending them off to MS for repairs. I doubt I'll ever pay $100 to have the Ethernet ports repaired on each console.
Bought off eBay;
- Afterburner Complete, 32X (complete)
- Toki: Going Ape Spit, Genesis (complete)
- Amok, Saturn (complete)

Justice: Cross on vinyl
Also moving into a new apartment today! So that's cool.

that works? the ethernet is fried on mine too but I've been too cheap/lazy to go wifi or mail it in (plus it's out of the free warranty now)Quote:

JUST SAYING
I had that Technics turntable back in Atlanta. :cry:
The plastic lid had broken, but it was still awesome. Dust magnet.
How much?Quote:

They're $14.98 around here.
There's so many CAGs in the area that it's hard to get shit ridiculously cheap like I used to be able to.
I'm convinced it's the "flipping" douchebags who buy games only to resell or trade them in.
What's wrong with that?
Yeah, it's not too bad. It connects through the USB port. I couldn't do it with the old Verizon router I had, but the new one has a strong signal in my livingroom.Quote:

Because it artificially raises prices for people who actually want to play the game while also adding to the GameStop coffers at the newly inflated price.Quote:

It's absolutely part of a free market, but that doesn't change the fact that they (and I'm not including you in this, since you run a business and have real skin in the game) are douchebags. Companies who pollute rivers and what not are also douchebags but part of a free market. The key is that consumers not support that behavior with their business in the latter case.
well, ideally, some of them would have the sense to take it to ebay and sell it as an auction, and you could pay exactly what you thought it was worth. You'd get the game cheaper and they'd make a few bucks for taking the time to find it and list it.
Win Win!
Purchasing goods and reselling them above cost?! Why, I never...Quote:

I just laugh at people who laugh at people as if what they devote their lives to matters any more than anyone else.
It's especially hilarious where in one thread people are all like IMMA DO WAT I WANT I AINT HURTING NO ONE and then in another are all like YUR DUM AND AN ASSHOLE CUZ YOU DO WAT YOU WANT BUT IT ISNT WAT I WOULD DO.
I know I do it too. A lot.
Whatever you say hobo.
I picked up Arcania 4 for 360, it was on clearance at BB (not a great deal or anything). I think I will return it though.
I grabbed that a few weeks ago from Amazon for $18.
Melf said it's ok.
And how much did you sell it for, you filthy gypsy?
I don't trust that achievement whoring rican. He plays anything for points.Quote:

Yoshi just complained about game flipping douchebags then bought games from a self admitted flipping douchebag.
Just wanted to point this out.
Par for the course. He also does that with game companies and sequels.
I'm aware. I wonder if he's aware.
He didn't buy shit. It was pretty much a 1 to 1 trade.
he's still supporting the douche flip industry.
The deal was also agreed upon long before the flip discussion. I have no idea what the fuck Mech is talking about though.
Don't worry, the rest of us do.
Among other things, he's talking about how you hate Nintendo so much that you buy all their systems, and games. Including handhelds.What does that have to do with anything?Quote:

I don't care what Yoshi does with his money and/or bloated game library. I can live without the polemics though.
Whatever. You hate the company, but support them with your money, and you can't even admit to yourself that you do it. You're hilarious.
Pocket resuscitator and sphygmomanometer. Gonna be some exciting times in about a month or so.Not sure if troll...Quote:

I like the packaging too, but too bad, it is still Zelda.

Wheeee.
Also bought a bunch of stuff to rip the carpet out of my new room and stain the floorboards.
Should be pretty great once it's done!
I'd like to think the carpet is brand new as is, and you're just a bit crazy: "can't make no drawings if I can't no slide in m'socks"
What card is that?
Hardwood floors beat carpet every time.
Totally. Also allows for interesting rugs.

It is.... a TEW-623PI Wireless N PCI Adapter.
Needed an adapter! I totally bought that model because it has three antennas, no other reason.

They're for my fucking computer, you know.Quote:

Depends on how well the install goes, really.
Western Digital Scorpio WD5000BEVT 500GB HDD for my PS3 so it can hold four countries' worth of Welcome Back games
Purchased a 120GB HDD for my 360 and the Rockstar Mega Friendship Pass. I'll also pick up Ocarina 3D later this month because I have an Amazon credit I must use. Other than that, it's a cheap month.
I got a 60 GB HDD for my old 360 as well. Hard drives for everyone!
Andrew: need a transfer cable?
Got it, but thanks!
Crysis 2 (PC) = $40 at Fry's
Metroid Prime Trilogy (sealed) $10, RentOne seems to have a few of these after they've sworn "its the last one" twice now.
last one on the shelf on that day, maybe
Buy them all, profit!
I got Halo Reach Limited Edition in the mail today, $23 used from Gohastings. This is actually one of the coolest LE's I've seen, without including a whole lot of useless shit or taking up space. It's not in perfect shape, but for what I paid I have no complaints.
Profit is pretty much the idea here, especially with Gamestops extra 50% trade in bonus right now, a $10 game will net me $45 credit. I can live with this kind of turnaround.
Or you can sell on ebay for twice that. Don't be silly.
Fuck, I will give you $50 for it. Cash.
Come on dude, he can trade it in. It's like bartering and it doesn't cost him anything right?

Found myself spending a ton of money on vegetable and fruit smoothies, so I bought a blender to make my own. Also got the new Lady Gaga and the Costume Quest DLC.
Got my new convertible laptop, and it is amazing.

It always works in the beginning, and then the blade gets dull and you end up throwing it away.
Oh Christ, here comes kingofblenders.
So solly lobotbitme, you brender no goody. Must spend the equivarent of Ruthiana's GDP if you want good brender!
I am a blender snob.
I actually just bought a Ninja XL blender a few weeks back on sale for $60 (normally about $100). Seems to be as good as they get without spending like $400 and I'm happy with it so far. Much better than the last 3 I've owned.
I have that Blendtec fucker. It is worth it. Y'all bitches better recognize.
cheapassblenderowners don't understand the power of Blendtec.Quote:

Missing the point.
Got inFamous 2 for review today, and bought Shantae and Wario Ware: Snapped from the eShop.
One of these:
You got a broken video link? Sweet...
It was broken for a second. It's not fixed?
There it is!
I'm surprised icarus would buy a white polo shirt personally.
