Scribblenauts still in wrapper. I cancelled my order after Giant Bomb ripped it a new one, but clearly my request didn't go through properly. Not sure if I'll return it or not.

Haha, I saw Mongol with a specialist for Mongol history in cinemas :lol

But I learned a lot in those two hours by having all the "liberties" pointed out... starting with the fact that Mongols back then lived in the woods and Genghis Khan had a familyclan of about 400 people when he was young :D

PSP 3000

I traded some 360 and Wii games at Toys R Us to get the price down. This one's for my U.S. PSN account and my old PSP 2000 is for my Japanese PSN account since you can't share two different accounts on one system.

Street Fighter Zero 3 (missing the spine card)

The only version of Alpha/Zero 3 were T. Hawk has his backwards walking animation. Heck, the arcade version doesn't even have it. The Saturn rocks!

I've gotten a lot of games recently, but only this one matters for a long time. I used my son's
HORRIBLY UGLY BACKPACK that he INSISTED on getting when I wasn't around to veto it
Backpack as a prop to show my excitement.

Christopher Tin is the guy who did the title screen music for Civ4 (it's also the first track on the album). It finally came in the mail after about 2 weeks, number 375/1100 and signed by the man himself.

Some cooking utensils for my Kitchen!

An extremely kind unsolicited donation from GAFer Lambtron! Get to play Panzer Dragoon Saga and Enemy Zero.

P1020653.jpg


And the Big Guns this week. Totally love the new PS3 cases...it is a small thing but that shitty Spidey font really trashed the Sony brand...finally gone, thank fuck. BaHB for Wii awesomness! Two great games...not sure which one to put in first.

And haven't bough cereal since the early nineties but I was at Target and that big-ass end cap caught my eye...for old time's sake.

I can't wait to receive my copy! I have listened to the download version like 20 times now, it's so good.

By the way, Christopher Tin said he included a "special something" from the recording in Abbey Road Studio. What was he talking about?

Then I hit up PSN for a couple games...

2009octpickup13.jpg


I sorted out the LBP stuff I picked up from Sony and Mm with my desk setup when I was back in England...

2009octpickup18.jpg


Then headed out to Costco and Macy's with the wifey to get some household items...

2009octpickup23.jpg


2009octpickup12.jpg


Then ate at Shin-Sen-Gumi in Rosemead for some oh so good ramen and an accompanying shirt...

2009octpickup22.jpg


2009octpickup20.jpg


And last but not least, back in England we stopped by the wifey's grandparents house and found this laying about in storage.

Ha!

I was just up in the Rosemead area today! Bought my Uncharted 2 and Boy and his Blob at the Rosemead Target. And finally stopped in to Japan Video Games in the area to check it out. Wanted to snag Space Invaders Extreme 2 but they did not have it. No White Classic Controller Pros either :-(

Wait, have you always a tea drinker or did you pick it up because of England? I'm a life long tea drinker and if you are looking for the best place to order loose leaf tea in the US order from Upton Tea Imports. They have enough buying power to get most of the teas that US could never bid on a few years back. They even offer first flush darjeeling from all the best Indian estates. They take care of you. Cannot recommend them enough!

The wifey's English so I have been a pretty avid tea drinker for a bit. I'll definitely check out the link though. Definitely want to up what we have in our personal stock.

Initially the assortment can kinda be intimidating but Upton (finally) have access to most of the teas that used to be bought up at the auctions by the heavyweights in Europe/Asia who always had first pickings. They also offer inexpensive small samplers from various estates. I've been using them for about fifteen years.

Steeped loose tea with milk is the best thing in this world.

Yeah, I knew that it wasn't the most accurate re-telling of historic events. Still a beautiful shot movie and well worth the ten bucks.

That is the Euro limited edition.
The European release is pretty awful due to it being 50hz (16% slowdown) with huge borders.
It feels like castlevania in slow motion.

Just for fun... can anyone past a pic of PS3 cases lined up on a shelf, with Uncharted 2's new spine style in the mix? Just want to see how they match up together (and based on the new PSP cases I've seen next to old ones, the answer is... not very well :lol oh well)

Ah thank you! :D

So what'll it be then... mixing in the new cases alphabetically, or segregating the new cases from the old? Looks like you haven't had to make the choice since Uncharted 2 is alphabetically the last title in your collection.... but soon that day shall come and you will be forced to make a choice! :lol

Personally I'm just gonna mix em in. My Genesis games are alphabetical regardless of box style. Anyway it's kind of neat to be able to see the era of the game at a glance. I've also got the occasional enhanced Greatest Hits version of PS1/2 games which I mix into the collection anyway.

I love this stuff :D

Just picked up these converters for PS2 -> 360 and PS2 -> PS3. So far, the Xconverter360 does a remarkable job.
