Everything I got today:
Okay, I suck at taking photos. You're gonna have to point me in the directions of some guides to help me make better use of my SLR. What kind of lens and settings are you using to boot? Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a nice shot of a black item like that? I can't even fathom how you managed to get such a nice picture. I hate you. =PChryZ said:
Thats Raizings finest game? Maybe I should make a note to never play anther game by them, I was horabley disapointed when I found an arcade that had it. Maybe I'll give it anther shot some time.CaseyTappy said:A New month , a new PCB :

Does the board have the terable English Translation that makes Zero Wing look good, or just Japanese?

Just arrived. Ordered it on Monday when Amazon dropped the price to $17.99, and I had a $10 game credit.

^ Canadian package for 3D.GameHeroes - One thing I like about that release is even the Canadian version preserved the 'inside cover' art... usually it gets neglected

I consider myself a fairly advanced C# programmer already. It's hooked me since they first time I started using it and I've followed it very closely since. I bought these two books with that in mind. I haven't read through them yet, but I've flipped through them.
The C# Programming Language is, to quote from the preface, "a complete technical specification of the C# programming language." It goes into every feature of the language, explains it, and has annotations given by various professionals. I'm really looking forward to looking deep into the language implementation.
C# in Depth says it's for intermediate to expert programmers. It's also written by someone who is very active in the community and who I greatly respect. It's different from the other book in that it seems to focus more on using the features rather than how and why they were implemented. Although, it does get into a little bit of that. I think this will mostly be useful for improving how I use currently as well as introducing me to features that I haven't had a chance or reason to use yet.
I bought the PSU with SLI in mind and its cable management made it pretty easy to reduce the wiring to a bare minimum. Helps with air flow and the ease of working within the case. Spending a few extra minutes on the wiring can save you a lot of time in the long run.Misterinenja said:
The EXIF details are in the image. Lens was the tiny "Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 Aspherical Pancake". I don't use specific settings, my cam is usually in aperture priority mode. Just take many pictures in a semi manual mode. Review your pictures and check the EXIF of the ones you like. It will help you understand how to get certain results and to pull them of with different subjects/situations. Also: take many many pictures. Here's another shot from the same "session": pic. My GF1 got a nice color profile for dynamic B&W, but you can get the same results with post processing in Gimp/Photoshop: desaturate, then adjust levels (boost blacks and whites).grap3fruitman said:

This was from last month
Nier: Pricematched EBGames' 9.89$ offer at BestBuy, got it for... 7,79$ :lol
SSF4: Got it for 20$ at VG+. Finally received it.
ACB: Got it on launch for 35$ (friends of Ubi's price)
Enslaved: Was 39,99 minus 25$ gift certificate.
GT5: No rebate on this one.
Club Nintendo platinum prize.
App Store Gift Card
eSata HDD enclosure: Put a 1Tb HDD inside to expand my PVR from 20hrs of HD to... 150!
Radeon HD 6850: Got that card to replace my Nvidia inside my main PC. Got a Quad Core for really cheap from a work collegue and built my MAME PC for my cabinet.
Speaking of the cabinet, it's probably my pickup of the year.
Started like this (CRT Cabinet with SF2CE):
Then it looked like this (Replace the big-ass CRT with a LCD, paint the doors, tweak the token to work with the PC which at the time, was a mid-range Pentium D.)
To finally end up like this (powered by a Quad Core PC with a Nvidia 9800
I know I just bought SUPER but I needed a SF4 (10$ on STEAM) on my cabinet. It's all configured to work perfectly. I'm really excited about this one.

Big upgrade considering my previous one was an 12 year old corolla
That car will last you forever....
I sell Acuras, and it's amazing the mileage people put on those things. The guy I work with has 250,000 on his 99 TL
Enjoy the RSX!

That Chateau De Lisse and Faugeres are both a Grand Cru, and from the St. Emilion region of France, that would make it some of the top rated wine from one of the greatest wine growing regions in the world.
Good Pickup!

I paid good money for this Dynex!
My birthday was on Monday, so I got some stuff from that, and I had a couple buys from Black Friday, and some completely unnecessary purchases, as well! This doesn't include the shit I bought on Steam.
The big thing is obviously the speakers. Adam Audio A7Xs. These are for my computer, and they are fucking incredible. I can practically see the sound. I wanna get an external DAC for 'em, but even as they are now, they're seriously some ridiculously good speakers.
Then I got a Tripp Lite surge protector, because I'm out of outlets and don't want all my fun shit to fry.
Then I got Saving Private Ryan on blu, Eden of the East on Blu, Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu 1.5 (which got here just a few minutes ago), and Fist of the North Star Vol. 2.
Pretty awesome, except that I have no time for this stuff due to law school
Oh well, a few rounds of Daifukkatsu won't kill anyone.

Question to all of you who buy Japanese games: Do you all actually speak Japanese? There's so many of you who buy Japanese games, and I'm just wondering how the hell you actually play and understand them. I'd love to be able to purchase Japanese games, but I don't speak a single word of Japanese.
