Wife wanted something to take out the few mice we get in the summer. I fucking hate cats and this one is no different. Thought the picture was decent though.

Daughter seen the videos on the xbox dash and here I am with this in our house. Not the worst and walmart has a deal for a $15 gift card that you can get the next set of figures. Now I hope there are some decent marvel figures for this in the future.

By recommendation of tons of people and amazon having a really decent price. Like it a lot more than my D40 that I had and the video out of it is amazing. All of the pictures are taken with this (even the pic of the cam since I had a replacement sent from amazon - thought it was dead because the batteries for these come dead. They sent another one and it was the same. Never got an electronic that had all dead batteries like that.

It starts with a picture you think is decent next thing you know you are asking the cat how it's day was.
 
Edit: More stuff came today.

Jumped back on the Vita Train so I picked up some games for it:



Fixed the monitor on my Neo Geo 4-Slot! Great to play all the carts I picked up in Japan!





Carts outside of the games in the 4-Slot (Neo Turf Masters, Metal Slug X, KoF 98, Magical Drop 2)

 
Picked up the NEO-GEO pad for PS3/4 and PC. liking it with SF3, but it is more loose and precise than the SEGA Saturn pad I've been using.

Only allowed to get one from play-asia though, would have liked two

Thanks! I really can't express how happy it makes me to know I achieved this. A year ago, I didn't think that I had it in me.





Honestly, I didn't even consider doing Comptia. Less than two years ago, I was a 31 year old with a dead end job and no IT experience. I enrolled at my local community college and took some Cisco classes. With those classes under my belt, I set the goal to be CCNA certified "one day". With on semester to go, I decided to finally go for it over the summer. I wanted to get the CCNA more than I want my college degree. It feels great to be certified before I even graduated. I put resumes out last weekend, and I already had three responses. Certs really do help!

I'm sorry if this comes off as bragging...My advice to anyone going for CCNA; if I can do it, (a guy with no IT background), then with the dedication and discipline to study, anyone can do it.

Wish one of my local colleges offered Cisco courses guess it's time I stop being lazy and pick up a study guide for CCNA

:O I WANT THAT! lol where did you get it and how much does it cost? I bet it costs extra for that unicorn blood :(

oh, sorry man, just read your comment now. :3

found it on one of those daily-deals-crap sites. it was something like 15 bucks? really cheap. it says "Tutti Cuisine" on the knife, but can't find any official site. :/

After using a Jansport backpack for...about 9 years, I bought a North Face Borealis.
I received a $10 coupon from eBay for selling an item so I got a mousepad that costed <$10 so I paid nothing for it :) Steelseries QcK mousepad. Newegg gave me a load of packing paper for some reason.
Bought a j/fit super high density foam roller. I think it's a good long term investment since I workout and the foam roller at my university's gym isn't that firm. Additionally, I don't think I need to rotate the picture >_>
My cousin gave me his Logitech G5 mouse since it's been sitting in his room for a while and I needed a new mouse to use.

I also picked up the Origin Humble Bundle! :D

After about 6 months hard work and effort (teaching a lesson, tests, interviews), I got me one of these. Go back to University in just over 2 weeks for my teacher training!

Congrats! I hope you teach your student with your hobby if necessary ;)
 
So I decided to pick up a Nexus 7, and I really should have posted this hours ago. Warning, horrible pics from my Vita camera that do NOT do this thing justice

Oh and what's this? a random PSN card?

Said card was used to get some Valkyria Chronicles DLC (I grabbed Selvaria's DLC because it's Selvaria and I liek Selvaria), Pinball Arcade DLC (White Water and Space Shuttle, only played White Water so far which was fun) and Divekick. Yesterday was a good day :)

Doing your PGCE?
Yup, starting at Sunderland Uni in just over 2 weeks, and my last day at my current gig is drawing near. Every so often I get hit with pangs of "am I doing the right thing?" But I think that's just how long I've worked there for.

Congrats! I hope you teach your student with your hobby if necessary ;)
Hehehe, for a precondition of the course, I was in my wife's school doing lesson observations. Of course she's a gamer, I'm a gamer, and all the pupils know...
I think I blew their minds when they asked and I said my Gamerscore was >60k. Didn't so so well when they asked for my Kills/Deaths ratio though ;( lol

At last, long waited package has arrived
I'm quite worried when I don't see any bubble wrapping in the box but it turns out the artbooks is in flawless condition. The page difference between VC1 and VC3 artbook really noticeable when you hold them.

no problems! I also cannot find it online - that's very weird ... maybe it has some kind of magical element to it ;) and if so the 15 bucks were well invested

I can't wait for mine to arrive.

Is the label good? It doesn't look so good on photos.
Mine came yesterday. The label is... okay. It's not super nice. But overall I'm happy with it. I have a Japanese cart coming soon, too. I may as well buy a repro of Earthbound 0 and a Japanese Mother 2 cart to have one of each in each language, hah.

I was afraid that the label wouldn't do it justice. Since I don't live in the US, I will take some more days for my cart to arrive but I can't wait to play it. Hopefully my guide will arrive before the cart does so that I can play using it.

I'm also waiting for my Earthbound Zero, but I don't have any of the japanese releases. Buying them is something that I'm thinking about it, it would be nice to have them in my collection.

^both for a nice price from play-asia

^something led me down an early 90s music rabbithole and I rediscovered this song which was on the first tape-compilation I ever owned. that was my jam when I was in in first or second grade lol.

^shirt is actually navy-blue. the pic is kinda crappy.

^this was the most amazing bargain deal. it popped up in the amazon uk marketplace for 63p (!) which is INSANE. I was afraid that it was just a disc or something but it's in very good condition with the only negatives being the Club Nintendo code got used already (well, it expired on the fifth of this month anyway which is a bummer so it wouldn't have mattered) and that it's a German copy but for that insane price? I can live with that.

funny sidestory: I went on a little bike adventure to take these pics which ended with my falling off my bike twice, slipping and sliding down one of those rocky dirt hills on my butt, cutting a toe on a thorny bush bleeding into my sandals but thankfully I still had to shoot the EO2 pic so I could clean my foot in the river.

snapping pics on a table is so last-gen, guys. step it up! :D

Can't remember what I've posted and haven't posted, so, if the PS3 games are repeats, I do apologize.

Game pick ups from recently:

And Disney Infinity figures, the detail on them is incredible:

All 4 of these came in the last 3 days.

I'm a little jealous. Just a little. :mad:

SteelSeries Flux Gaming Headset. $43

Finally got myself a proper PC headset. So far, so good. Not sure how well the mic works but will put that through the test a little later today.

Wow! I took a class in CCNP routing and found that to be very challenging. I assume you have real experience in network engineering. Congrats to you too.

Very impressive indeed! I'm finally going for my CCNA after spending the last 7 years in IT hearing that I need to get it. Passed ICND1 and working on 2 as we speak.
