This and the X34 shares the same panel manufacturer. Check your PG348Q for odd discoloration at the corners. They aren't color shifts, more like white IPS blooms turning to yellow/amber that does not go away even when viewed directly (not at an angle). I've checking mine, was pretty worried of those, and thankfully only IPS bloom is present.

I really want one of these monitors they look amazing but this month has been expensive for me so maybe in November I can start looking at this monitor again lol....

Here's this month's pick ups!!!, One of my rotary fittings in my gpu started to leak so I switched to Bitspower dual rotary fittings and fitted some new tubing in aswell as some new fluid.

Most impotantly I added a Gigabyte 1080gtx G1 and OC'd the balls off it!!!

Also forgot I added some orange braided cables to tidy things up, stock cables damn nasty!!!

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
Having Ben Edlund on staff definitely helps with that ;D
I've never heard of the man, which is embarrassing since he also appears to be responsible for possibly my favorite Firefly episode Jaynestown and he's the creator of The Tick. The frigging Tick!
Thank you Google.

Cool guy confirmed.

Almost finished watching Supernatural Season 1 and I want more. Much more.
This is why it's dangerous to buy one season of a show on sale; Ordered 1-10 on Blu-Ray through Zavvi. :p

This is a very late response, my apologies.

The good thing is that you're in for a treat. Even the the show's creator only planned for a five season arc and left afterwards, it remained pretty great and at the very least good. Supernatural delivers the most consistently cool/great Halloween/Holiday-themed episodes ever year. It's a little nuts how they can keep the quality up. And have such a great cast of regulars and guests. Since you enjoyed Firefly, you'll be delighted once Mark Shepard joins the show. :D

Loved it when it first came out, still love it to this day... Enjoy!

My local store got it early. I was interested when it was revealed, didn't let the hate dampen my enthusiasm... We'll see if it was a wise choice

I don't remember a lot of Badger scenes besides the ones at the beginning of the pilot. It's about time I did a rewatch.
Soon.

I saw there's an episode with both James Marsters and Charisma Carpenter in it, looking forward to that one.
It might be a bit strange but I can get really excited when an actor that has played a character I love appears in a show i'm watching.

Thanks, i'm sure I will. :)
 
Will pick this up tomorrow!

Ready for 4K!

Traded in my Overdrive XB1 at the MS Store. Got a free game too (Assassins Creed Unity)
How much is the trade in at the microsoft store? Thinking about trading in to Gamestop when the 500gb comes out (already have a external full of games) but if the microsoft store has a better deal then I'd go there.

Some new viewing material from the Japanese book store...

With Olympic fever running high, happy to get these classic 'Olympic' Air More Uptempos. Same sneakers that Scottie Pippen wore in the1996 Olympic games.

New pair of 2001 Air Jordan 1 Royals. <3
 
So cool, I ordered these 2 as well from bookdepository. How's the quality?

They're really, really nice. They're printed on really high quality glossy paper, that's nice and thick and not too glossy or sticky. The Persona 3 one is a little thin, as it's only about 140 pages. But they're both well worth the price.
 
First time doing a mobile phone upload, so I'm not sure how the picture quality will come out . . . Had a short holiday in Kyoto, Hiroshima, Himeji and Osaka.

Picked up Final Fantasy XIII, Ninja Gaiden 2, Tokyo Jungle and Vanquish in Hiroshima, and the rest in Osaka. GEO was having a half price sale on games under 1500 yen, so No More Heroes, Puppetteer, Shinobi, and the Time Crisis set came out to be very, very cheap!

Astal was my most expensive game. But, lord if there wasn't plenty more (and more expensive) games I wanted to grab . . .

Thanks a lot! I've been thinking of getting the P4Arena one as well, might just take the plunge if it's the same quality as these two.

Yea that was pretty nice fan service. I think the episodes with Julie Benz and Amy Acker guesting were in S1 already, right?
 
It's an optical audio output module for the Super Nintendo. It basically takes the audio directly from the SPC sound chip, bypassing the DAC on the SNES resulting in pure lossless audio. Theres no digital to analog conversion with this - just the pure sound that the SNES generates. It's absolutely incredible on my set up. I've taken some recordings of Chrono Trigger tracks, directly from the console, as I obviously can't show it in pictures:

secret of the forest

battle with magus

battle 1

battle 2

these are all recorded directly from the digital output of my SNES.

Dude, you just blew my mind with those recordings!
 

Rich!

Damn, these sound better than the OST!

they would do! they're the pure sound generated by the SNES sound chip itself with no degradation or interference whatsoever

and they sound much better than the equivalent SPC file being played at native bitrate

Damn thats a nice looking Orange, Sprayed like that I assume?
 
Oh man, surprising pick up today. My local book shop had Hyperart Thomasson in stock and I've been meaning to pick it up for a while now.

Where did you order that one? Got the other 2 but missing the latter.

amazon.co.uk have sellers in japan selling new copies for pretty reasonable prices if you don't mind the wait. Unfortunately the English version is still going for crazy amounts of money.

Amy Acker showed up really early, episode 3 I believe. They dealt with some kind of water spirit. Pretty good episode.

She possesses something quite rare. A sort of charm, or whatever you want to call it, that only a very small selection of actors seem to have and be able to control.
I love Amy, great actor.

Faith was a surprise. A lot of sci-fi and horror shows have dealt with the concept of healers, Christian or otherwise, but none dealt with the subject with such class and grace. And without feeling preachy. That's including The X-Files.
I recognized Julie Benz but I didn't know from where until I looked it up on the episodes IMDB page. I kinda hated Darla until mid S2 of Angel so I guess I blocked her from my memory. :p

Just finished S1. The coming week is going to be very, very long.
Fucking cliffhangers...

I've been on the lookout for Bowser's Inside Story for a while... I finally won a reasonably-priced eBay auction towards the end of last week:

Yeah, I was talking about the English version. Had it ordered at amazon.co.uk for the longest time (like 1+ year!) and then they cancelled it)

The Japanese release is indeed still quite reasonable. Cheaper options than Amazon out there too.

No it's a finish that Phanteks offer, they do this case in Black, Red, Green, Gold, and Orange.

Pictures don't do this build any justice I'm so pleased with it, had it for over a year now but made some nice adjustments, Orange Corsair Dominator ram next and one of them snazzy Asus monitors :)

Edit- What an awesome desk Crazy-J....

Gamestop told me $150. MS Store told me $120 over the phone. When I got there, they only offered $80 and a free game. They said I had the "Overdrive Edition" and the regular black edition is $120. Not sure why, maybe it's a HDD size thing.

None of the game stops in a 30 mile radius had any in stock so... Yeah.
