What's in the box!?

Spoiler

New lamp for the projector.

Fringe The Complete Series Bluray
Amazon UK had it on for 45GBP. At less than a tenner a season, I couldn't say no. I've only seen the first three seasons. Looking forward to watching it all.

Robocop Trilogy Bluray
Remake trailer put me in the mood for the original. I was just going to buy the first, but the trilogy was only 2 pound more. I've never seen the sequels. I've heard the second is just OK and that I may as well use the third movie as a drinks coaster.

Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood Part 1, Part 2 and The Girl Who Leapt Through Time Bluray
Been on an anime kick since I got Eden of the East. I've seen the original Full Metal Alchemist and look forward to checking this one out. Never really investigated much, but I'm guessing it's more faithful to the anime? I've had The Girl Who Leapt Through Time on my movies to watch list forever and I don't know why it's taken me so long to grab it.

Batman The Dark Knight Returns and Mud Bluray
Really looking forward to checking out Mud. Take Shelter was one of my favourites of 2011 and the buzz for Mud has been great.

Kind of went a bit nuts lately. After GTA5, I'm going super frugal for a while.

that water-thermometer-thing's colors being in the shot and totally going well with the tingle colors? complete accident

 

[RiamuBME]

Have to love CatBug from the Bravest Warriors

That t-shirt has made my day. I must have it.

My pickups. I lucked out and didn't have to go with the Walking Dead bundle.

You saw the best three seasons already. It kind of went downhill a bit in terms of story and production values. I really wish they had a bigger budget and different writers for the final season especially becauae the series was so good and ended of on a bad note. But I know its too hard to not want to finish it after seeing the first 3 seasons. All the other pick ups you made were great as well.

Eh, here's a vote for the opposite opinion. Past season 3 is when it gets into the heavily serialized stuff and moves away more from the "case of the week" format. You needed that to get to this point but the evolution is definitely nothing to frown upon!

 

[Yes Boss!]

Thank god at least someone other than Nintendo still has the common sense to still release a retail platformer:

 

[gutterboy44]

Received my Olly Moss print. Happy with my draw.

 

[bodeiseifer]

Bought brand new, metal slug 7 and contra 4 on this thing is 2d heaven, I still can't get over how good the screen is, or why its so good, the low pixel density and super crisp sharpNess make 2d games so delicious.

[Takamura-San]

Got this for $2 in a garage sale today.

Feels great so far. No IBM but it does the trick well.

 

[spadge]

I like those honey whiskeys as well from time to time. Especially Jack Daniel's. Good choice.

Not too bothered about the Jim Beam Honey, it just tastes like it's been sweetened a bit rather than the honey taste JD has.

Jim Beam's Red Stag Cherry is amazing though.

ah. the DS probably my fav handheld after the Vita.
that 2D goodness (the hardware felt much better than the 3DS too)

There's a rumour that there's an IBM5100 in Akihabara iff you want one to go with it.

 

[Vipershark]

Final Fantasy VIII

It's unfortunately used, but I got it for super cheap and aside from the small crack on the front of the case, it's otherwise PRISTINE. The discs are absolutely perfect and it even includes a mini-strategy guide.

So with the purchase of Final Fantasy VIII, I've reached another of my collection goals, which was to collect [at least one version of] every mainline Final Fantasy game (meaning the numbered games, not including sequels or spinoffs, and not including 11 or 14 since they're MMOs).

(I hope this is okay to post here. If not, I'll edit it out.)

NES Generation

SNES Generation

PS1 Generation

Sucky Genera-- I mean, uh... Double Digit Generation

[Shengar]

My first wave of online ordered loot just arrived. First are these beauty from Play-Asia

Funny thing is that I ordered AA: Trial and Tribulation and AA: Phoenix Wright first back in the end of August but it didn't shipped yet because of backordered unit.

Then my biggest order of books yet

What's the inside?

These books are for for my friends

then these are to add even more to my already ridiculous backlog of everything:

My last good of today is just cheap vacuum flask and food container for my everyday needs.

 

[foobarry81]

Ermm... what about Rayman/Ubisoft? ;-)

 

[DidntKnowJack]

Pickups from the last couple of weeks.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Ermm... what about Rayman/Ubisoft? ;-)

Yeah, still gotta get that one.

Kinda forgot that it is now multi-plat. I still tend to think of it as a Wii U game.

 

[Messofanego]

Just bought a couple of 2013 albums, Woodkid's The Golden Age and Fuck Buttons' Slow Focus.

Woodkid - Run Boy Run

Fuck Buttons - Brainfreeze

SO GOOD

Yeah, I'm not surprised his music has been used a lot elsewhere. Stirring stuff.

I was on vacation in August and bought way too much in that time (and in the last couple of days).

Spring Breakers (Canadian Blu-ray)
Once Upon a Time: The Complete Second Season (US Blu-ray)
Oblivion (Canadian Blu-ray)

I really wished they picked a cooler cover for Spring Breakers, but then I guess you gotta show the actors properly.

 

[nny]

Brothers; a great experience. Everyone should give it a try.

Daytooooonaaaaa!

I was glad with the Edge cover I managed to find.

It's been a while since I got a LEGO set; I like this one a lot.

(just imagine they're lifting their glasses and have watches P)

 

[Beats]

I always forget to post stuff the month that I get it, so here's everything from summer till now. : ]

Wouldn't be surprised when it comes on a lot of people's GOTY lists.

Yep, it will be in mine!

[mikeysteena]

Haven't posted in here for a while and grabbed some pretty cool stuff

New Sneaks!! Wanted these for ages!

Also, decided to go handheld only next gen so....

3DS Xl Mario Kart Bundle. Had £90 store credit with Game so only paid £80 cash

Picked up this preowned for £90. its not pictured but is in fantastic condition and came with 4GB memory card too!

Some games to play on it, having a ball so far!

And finally (by far my favourite pick up) the newest member of my family. Say hello to Koopa! sorry bout the picture quality but was chasing him around the flat and couldnt get a decent pic of him

 

[Dereck]

 

[oneida]

$15, all complete

 

[Crash55118]

Stumbled upon a copy of Metal Storm at Goodwill. It was not priced and from the sounds of it shouldn't have been on the show floor as I think Goodwill now does online auctions for some of their video game stuff. It went to the back and got a price check of $10, so I was ok with that although $2 or $3 would have made for a better story.

Also graduated in August and finally got my diploma last week. Time to get a real job.

I love the Infared AM90. I beat my pair to death. Might grab another pair

I remember liking this Indiana Jones game, although I only recall whipping enemies to death in the demo. Any good?

I too have only played the demo, but I remember having a blast with it. I guess this haul is “ good licensed games", since even OutRun required the OK from Ferrari!

How does it feel?

How is Colorful? Been thinking about grabbing that, too..

Metal Storm goes for like $50 now, so still a good deal.
Congrats on graduating!

And of course Neogaf

 

[Crash55118]

How does it feel?

I thought it would feel good, like a weight was lifted off my shoulders, but now it just feels like 3000x the weight was thrown on. I guess maybe once I get a job and into the swing of things the anxiety of failing may subside, but hey that is what got me through college so maybe it'll help me get through my job search as well.

 

[WiiRevolution1]

As I usually do I'll be posting a pickups video of the last months pickups. Last month, I really didn't get anything aside of EarthBound and Might Switch Force 2...this month however, I spent $400 on a HUGE NINETY TWO BOOK HAUL!

Video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqtZaaWAzSc (This is like...a very long video lol.)

I now have a humongous book backlog. D:

Yeah, shouldn't have spent so much money on books, but atleast I got enough to mid next year lol. (Excluding some series I need to finish...)

I also got Pikmin 3, Mario & Luigi 4, New Super Luigi U, and seven Pokemon Rumble U figures. Glorious month.

 

[SirUltimos]

I went to a videogame swap meet today and picked up some goodies:

Here's my haul from the swap meet:



Not bad for 100 bucks.

 

[Beats]

How is Colorful? Been thinking about grabbing that, too..

Hmm, I enjoyed it quite a lot. If the premise grabs you and if you enjoy slow and reflective films you'll probably like it. There's a good amount of realism to it as well, and the writing is solid. This review convinced me to give it a watch.

Gaming related stuff

ICO & Shadow of the Colossus Collection up-close

[punkmaggit]

I actually haven't seen the movie yet - hoping it's at least half as good as the first one.

The music is Balance & Composure - Things We Think We're Missing. Absolutely loved their first album and this one is even better.
