Cross post from the PC thread. The fine folks over there helped me pick out parts for my new build and provided guidance along the way. Here's what I got:
Case: Fractal Design Define R4 w/Window (White)
CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD4H LGA1150
Memory: G. Skill Sniper 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3-1600
Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB SSD + Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB + WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX780 3GB Superclocked w/ACX Cooler
Case Fan: Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition
Power Supply: Rosewill HIVE 650W
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24F1ST DVD/CD Writer
Operating System: Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit)
I have a QNIX QX2710 Evo II on the way and will order a new keyboard/mouse soon.
Superb cable management.
Keep in mind that Windows 8.1 has a mouse lag bug that needs to be manually fixed for every game you play.

A few pick ups today:
My first physical game pick up of the year and probably my last physical PS3 pick up (unless it's still in my home theater by the time Persona 5 comes out):
Excited to play, but waiting until tomorrow so I can dig into The Stick of Truth tonight:
And the last of the Matt Smith era. I didn't really like the episode that much, but I loved the regeneration:

So much great stuff right there, you shopped well
I have to ask, are you planning on mailing it back home, or taking it back yourself? I've always wondered about the logistics of buying a large amount of items in Japan and how to get everything back... I'm interested to know what you'll do with that lovely lot dragonlife

Dude, nice. Season 3 has a phenomenal soundtrack.Recent pick-ups:
Vanishing Underground, Mayfly Man, and The Lie in Leinster Gardens are my favorites. I can't stop listening to the last one... so many feelings.

Also wondering the same. I'm going to Japan this july, and want to bring back a lot of stuff.

Just brought two bags. Made it back no problem. And this is the 5th time doing just that. Just buy some bubble wrap or wrap the heavy stuff in clothes.

Do you have to declare any of it at all? I'm picturing a Midnight Express situation here

Omg that Kirby cover
A little something from the Blizzard Store.
Wrath of the Lich King Soundtrack for the last patch of the expansion, Behind-The-Scenes DVD for the original game and a Blizzcon exclusive hardcover edition of the artbook 'The Cinematic Art of World of Warcraft: The Wrath of the Lich King'. The book is a beauty.

No, low priced old electronics. Not like brining back a bunch of alcohol, specialty items, or $1000+ laptops, etc.

Where do you buy these cases? I would love some for my Chrono Trigger and SNES FF games.

My fave pickups over the last couple weeks...

I think I actually like S3's ost a bit more than the others, but that might be due to the use of a more electronic sound than just the usual strings. I also have a lot more favorites off this ost than the other two due to more feels actually.
Lestrade - The Movie (yeah yeah, but it's a fantastic piece) and The Lie in Leinster Gardens are at least two of those favorites.
Yes they are. Took me about a year to hunt the three down.

Great cases. I would definitely recommend them. If you were only looking for a couple PM me, I have a couple of never used ones still that I won't be using.

This thread is exactly why I will never go digital. I like having games with great artwork I can hold and look at.

Some recent pick ups that I haven't posted
Damn, I like that Taiga. What set/version is that, if I may ask?

Got it lightly used from AmiAmi. That is the Standard Nendoroid Taiga, I wish I had found the special edition one that comes with her smiling face but this really looks like her so I am happy.
Didn't know that either. I just moved from 8 to 8.1 a few days ago. Seems to be a simple fix:
Just upgraded to 8.1 a few days ago. Looked it up...Seems a simple fix though ...right click game .exe -> compatibility -> run this in compat mode for windows 8. Check the box on that same tab that says "Disable display scaling on high DPI settings".
Unless that's wrong..someone feel free to correct me

New Watch
What is this amazing watch and where do I get one?
Goddamn! Very nice, dude. I always love seeing timepiece pickups on here.Didn't post this last month, so will this month. And don't care what y'all say, the thing is completely bad ass.
One of these days, I'll have a job that will allow me to join the club. :^)

I will tell you right now. It is an expensive hobby, however the key is to be smart in what Manga series you are collecting and most of all, shop smart!
I buy all my Manga online (only once in a blue moon, in stores) and I check prices across Amazon, Amazon marketplace sellers and The Book Depository.
I used to have a TON of manga but over the years I decided to sell them and cut my collection down to only those that I truly appreciate.
Oh mah Gawwwd, I NEED that watch. The Goldeneye skin is fantastic.New Watch
