I was going to pick up Ridge Racer, SF4 and Pilot wings but decided i need some pokemans and an rpg in my life so this is what i got
 
Sorry for the blurry pic. Got our new Scottish Fold kitten over the weekend. World, say hello to Fry. Our other Fold, Leela, is not amused so far. :\

You guys don't have Scotch whiskey in the US or is it too expensive? I only see people recommending US whiskey.

There is plenty of Scotch whiskey in the US. It's just a matter of personal preference. I favor the taste of Bourbon but I know some people that prefer Scotch.

Haven't got any photos of it yet, but I just got Kirby Super Star Ultra! Seems to be very hard to find right now, but amazon had it for £18, and I had some credit to use. Not bad.

Getting irritated with the larger EU/UK boxes now I've got the super-slim UK 3DS ones though...tempted to get a few USA DS boxes and simply put the inserts into them.

Got these for pretty cheap, sadly my NES started resetting soon after I got them and after cleaning the thing out it refuses to turn on :(

Picked up a PSP Slim and downloaded Trails in the Sky from PSN. I did get a Go but quickly returned it when I realised just how uncomfortable it is to use.

Since I was getting a Slim I figured I might as well pick up these two as well.

Picked up these two with the store credit I had left over. It's gona take a while to get that gunk off RR7.

£2.99 for Lost Planet 2! I enjoyed the demo so grabbed it when I saw it at that price. Neuromancer has been one of those books I've been getting around to reading forever.

And finally a few games on Steam. Bit Trip.Runner was a bitch to get into but I enjoyed it in the long run.

How is PES ?

I like it a lot, I'm more of a FIFA guy, but it definitely fills that football (soccer) need. The 3D doesn't add a ton but its neat to see the banners and stuff have a sense of depth and the corner kicks look a lot more epic. It's so nice to have a stick on the 3DS makes controlling much easier rather than the D-Pad.

Take everything out of that case (manual, disk, cover) and pour a little vegetable or olive oil on the sticker/gunk and scrub it off with a paper towel. Works like a charm :)

Feels good to finally be able to post so I decided to put everything I've gotten this year up through April instead of just the things I picked up this weekend. My birthday was in February so a lot of this comes from around then.

I also bought a camera connexion kit and hdmi out

I followed GAF's hype and imported 999, and also bought the UMD version of peace walker even though I have it on PSN and I only have a PSP Go but this game being my 2010 GOTY I needed to have the box on my shelf !!

I think I covered the bases.

Elijah Craig 18 year single barrel
Infinite Space
Radiant Historia - following the GAF hype and using my tax return to do so

Bought some more pearler beads and peg boards, but thought showing off the Bartz the Blue Mage and Amaterasu I made with them would be more interesting.

I should probably pick up a better camera at some point, too.

Couldn't install it until I got:

My very own screwdriver set. >_> lol
The tool that came with the battery pack sucked. It only worked on two of the screws on the 3DS.
Glad I finally got it attached, though.

Amazing bead art dude. Ammy is especially impressive!

Cool cover. What's in that guide exactly?
 
Found this in a thrift store for about $60. It's only missing the windshield, but it's meant to be a collectible pedal car so how it ended up in a thrift store is a mystery to me. Now, if it was only real Shelby...and if I was only a little kid again and I could play with this damn thing.

I normally dont go on shoe benders but I had been wearing the same threadbare pair of Adidas Campuses for almost 2 years.

And yes, my shelf is dusty and has a coffee stain on it.

Nice, I think I have listened to Stop Making Sense more than any other album, well if you include watching the dvd as well.

woo!

I know you just got this and all, but the sooner you can give us any impressions about how good this battery is, the better. I have been holding off on a 3DS purchase specifically because of the battery life issues

Finally got my hands on it! Too bad I have to work a night shift today, so I can't start playing it until tomorrow.

Does that sticker on 3rd Birthday say FFV? Is that already on the EU PSone store or is that a stealth confirmation?

How does it look in 3D?

Are the backgrounds polygonal like the arcade and console game or 2D like the PSP port?
The 3D is pretty understated to be honest. And it's using 2D backgrounds, only layered in 3D with various depths.

I haven't had a lot of time to play it yet so I can't really tell you more about the game right now.

If it's any consolation, FFV was confirmed for PSN Release today... in Japan.
