Didn't see a May thread yet. Starting off by ditching my short lived Windows Phone experience for the Galaxy S4. Also bought the official Samsung Car Dock which is quite nice.

I ordered a 3DS Circle Pad Pro XL from Nintendo's store and just got Liberation Maiden from the 3DS eShop.
FarCry 3 Blood Dragon (started to play FC3 again, but I may just try this first since it's shorter)...don't know whether to play either on Normal (seems to easy in the og) or Hard (might get frustrating)
Sherlock Holmes Steam midweek deal
Stealth Assholes to the Max DLC
My Circle Pad Pro XL arrived! Monhun is SOOOOO much better now.
I also got a butt-ton of Nintendo Powers from Yoshi!
Got Tank!Tank!Tank! for free on the eShop. I'm sure I'll play it someday.
3DS eShop sale lead me to buy Dillon's Rolling Western, Kirby's Adventure 3D and Nano Assault EX.
Also, Splatterhouse for $5 at KMart. Glad I waited!
Soul Sacrifice
I did a little retro shopping this past week.

Grabbed Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen, Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon and Tales of Graces f over the weekend, along with a new Onkyo receiver. I'd been using the same Marantz for over 15 years and it finally crapped out. :(
Craigslist haul from a college kid:
Mint cond DS Lite/charger
Nintendo WiFi USB
And 15 loose games for $50
A local game store does $45 trade on the DS/charger and the games I'm probably keeping fall into the category of stuff I'd never pick up unless dirt cheap ( New Super Mario, Metriod Hunters, Mario Kart DS, GTA Chinatown, Diddy Kong Racing). Win win.
$45 for a DS lite?
What do they sell them for?
Last time I was in $90, hoping the guy on the phone was semi-capable to read off a computer screen.
I'd buy that SMB DS from you depending on the price.
Jesus, I need to move to where you are. That's $20 MORE than I sell a DSi for! DS lites are $50-60 depending on condition, and they sit.Quote:

Yeah. I can't see how you can sell a used dslite for $90 when a new DSi is $100, but if they can do it, more power to them.
Frame of reference, same place marks up Mario/Duck Hunt and Tetris NES to $15....and sells aplenty.
After about an hour of PSN struggles, my PS3 is updated and I am downloading Journey. I half expect it to be stalled out at 5% when I go back upstairs.
Tell me about it. I've been using the hell out of that system. Get a $20, $30, or $40 PS3 game for $13 - $15? Oh yeah.Quote:

I do that too. I get the PC version without leaving my house.
That's why you're such a pasty mofo.
2013 Kia Soul+. Neat! First new car ever. I will be turning it into a mini Jurassic Park car ASAP, probably.
Scion XB is getting discontinued and no longer looks like a cool box thing, otherwise it may have gone that way.
Still have the motorcycle. :tu:
dude, do it. Do that, like now.Quote:

I also got a couple more games for 3DS with Club Nintendo coins, Art Style Aquia DSiWare and 3D Classics Excitebike.
I get so mad just looking at that thing.
Seriously. Paying $25 to actually complete your $200 system is bullshit.
There's a fully decked-out JP Jeep in Orlando. Shit's hilarious.
Most people seem ok with driving beige or silver nonsense around, and they are free to do so.

The greatest day.
Also Journeyman Project 3, Fate of Atlantis, Clandestiny, Silverload, Reah and a PAL Double Dash. $2 a pop, $3 for DD.
Someone donated ALL their PC adventure games. They had Phantasmagoria 2, Sanitarium, Riven and Myst III, Overseer, and more. $2 a pop.
Amazon package today....
Art of Bioshock Infinite
Under Defeat HD PS3
Fishing Resort Wii
How is Under Defeat? Videos on you tube look pretty cool. Reminds me of 1942.Quote:

It could be worse. It could be a PSVita and then you'd have no games worth a shit to play on it.~Quote:

I have become what I once hated.
I'd like a PVM so bad but craigslist is bare.
for what it's worth, we've always hated you.
I hate you too, Paul.
I got Uncharted.
Was out randomly shopping and found a huge storage ottoman, a bookcase and a storage cabinet for a clearance price of $55 combined. The ottoman will hold controllers, the cabinet will hold systems and the bookcase will hold games. Yay, storage!
Storage Ottomans are the truth.

I got a GBA SP+ backlight LCD and modded my OG GBA with it.

That modded GBA is cool. Is the mod difficult? I love the SP, but I do have a spare sp and GBA laying around.
I have a GBA and a broken SP (board is fried but the screen works fine). Could my GBA be modded using the SP parts?
A gentleman from Japan taught me how to write my name in japanese.

The lesson was kind of expensive, but included this game.

Next, ask him for some manicure tips.
Mod is pretty easy all you have to do is file away some bits on the inside of the case for space to accommodate the new LCD and solder a single wire for power. The SP+ LCD has this $5 ribbon cable adapter I got from China so it can plug into the existing regular GBA connector.Quote:

The game looks amazing in 1080p which is all I wanted (I didn't like how the 360 game looked) and the amount of content here is insane, but this port needs some work. There are weird frame rate stutters all over the place and this is a game that absolutely cannot have frame rate stutters. Leaderboard replays also don't seem to work right.
You are so gay.Quote:

I checked. Mine is AGS-001. :(

Kingdom Heart 3DS $10 at BB. The 3DS backlog is ballooning with all these clearance sales....
Same here! I keep scooping up 3DS stuff because trains are boring.
Actually, I barely buy console games anymore...
Wasn't sure where to put this, but a bunch of Ghibli blu rays are 55% off today for Amazon's deal of the day.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/goldbox/ref=cs_top_nav_gb27
Suikoden Tierkreis, FFT A2, and Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragon complete from Gamestop for about $50 total. The Suikoden is in suspiciously good condition. Maybe it's pir8?
While not a 100% guarantee, most rpg players tend to take care of their stuff.
Thx Papple, you put this in the right placeQuote:

Spent $2 to get the full version of Radiant on the OUYA.
Dark Souls (PC), really dig it. Getting my ass kicked all over the place, trial-and-error killing big things.
Injustice: GAU (PS3) digital d/l
I preordered DKC 3D. Yea, as a port it seems to have its problems, but it's still one of the very best games this gen and would be great on a handheld.
Diff, Best Buy is running a DKCR 3D pre-order promotion that includes a free download code for Super Mario Bros: The Lost Levels.
Maybe you're already aware or it doesn't interest you, just thought I should mention.
Got a free copy of Penny Arcade's third RPG thanks to their giveaway.

Ditto. Thanks for the tip.
I crawled out of the PC dark ages thanks to an early birthday present from my wife. To celebrate I just bought a bunch of stuff on Steam, including Ys Origin and Torchlight II. Oddly though, I'm most excited about playing through System Shock 2 again.
Edit: +1 more game, thanks to Jeremy.
Even at free, that sure is a lot of time to be trapped in Penny Arcade World.
I think I paid 180 points for it a while ago, definitely was entertaining and worth that price. I know next to nothing about Penny Arcade but it was fun times. One of the job classes let's you turn into dinosaurs.Quote:
