NeoGAF APRIL 2013 Pick-Up Post!! Show Us Your Gaming Goods + more!
- Thread starter MarkMan
- Start date
I've got Tomb Raider on the go and Bioshock on standby for the 670. Silky smooth and looking great.
The 3DS arrived yesterday - I couldn't hold off anymore after the last ND. Loving Luigi's Mansion so much. Fire Emblem is on its way too. The resolution takes some getting used to when coming from my Nexus 4, but the old brain soon adjusts. Also picked up Tetris on the VC, which I haven't actually played in 20 years, but was shocked to find just how familiar it felt; menus, music and, of course, gameplay.
reVENGE of the jedi? errr what
edit: okay never mind wikipedia told me whuddup

That was RotJ's original title.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Finally broke down and bought a 3DS XL. SMT IV along with the new Zelda game pushed me over the edge. Picked up Fire Emblem, Super Mario Land 3D, and actually found a sealed copy of 999 to play before picking up Zero Escape. This should keep me busy for a while, and there's still a few other games I want to pick up. The joys of not buying a system when it launches...

Pandora's Tower, to complete the Operation Rainfall trifecta. Like I said in another thread, I never thought I'd see the day.
And of course, I had to have Soul Hackers. No idea when I'm going to have a chance to play it. Plus a couple cheap DS games to round out my 'way too large already' DS collection.

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Games (felt really dirty about buying DmC and therefore breaking my 1.5 year Capcom boycott, don't like Ninja Thoery, have no real desire to play it either but only bought it as part of 3 for $100 offer)
I've never seen a single Alien movie.

You're in for a treat. Fuck me, I wish I could experience it all over again for the first time.

Looking forward to it. Would you recommend seeing Prometheus before or after the Alien movies? That's sitting in the backlog too.

A waterproof keyboard? What?
It's actually the most comfortable keyboard Ive used to be honest and no issues with gaming.
More Info.
Just got this same keyboard and agree -- awesome keyboard feel -- and its nice to be able to clean food crumbs out with ease. No canned air needed!

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Yeeessss! <3 Still annoyed that Madman didn't bother with a Blu-ray release here, but hey.
Also I totally forgot to include Luigi's Mansion 2 in that shot.

How much did this cost you?
ShopTo. I know they're banned on GAF but they've added PayPal as a payment option now so I'm happy. Ordered on Tuesday, came on Wednesday.

I picked up the biggest retro PC haul you will ever see in your life!

So, after a particularly nasty incident with a shoplifter last week (I got elbowed in the chest, and in retaliation I broke the guy's nose), I managed to persuade my area manager to give me a pay rise. So, money issues are all sorted out thank fuck.
As a nice present to myself, I thought I'd go and trade in a load of crap into my local CEX and buy a 3DS XL after I sold my last one when in need of cash. Went in, and had £105 credit after trading in various bits and pieces. Had my eye on a nice white 3DS XL. Mint condition and boxed, but discounted to £140 due to the installed Mario Kart 7 being deleted when they formatted it.
Anyway. I brought it. Took it home, and loaded up the purchase history on the eshop. hooray, Mario Kart 7 is on there! But wait a minute, what's this? Digital copies of Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 3D Land and a few random VC games too! So far I've only downloaded the two Mario games:
but fuck me, for once Nintendo's shitty tied-to-console policy has worked in my favour. A mint condition white XL, three retail games and some VC titles in exchange for a load of old tat and £35
yay

And a lot of Criterions
Love Criterion, gotta catch 'em all! There's a lack of La Haine and Branded to Kill in your photo... already in your collection, perhaps? I'm looking forward to getting Bande à part next month.

Watch them in order: Alien, Aliens, Alien 3, Alien Resurrection and Prometheus
I'm happy to see many people are buying Fire Emblem, I hope Nintendo won't think twice to get the next one out of Japan.
Finally bought a new desk. Absolutely love this thing.
My old desk (back when I still lived at my mother's) for reference:
Also picked up a copy of Fire Emblem from the Eshop. It's awesome!

My God, that setup is sooooooooooooooo sleek. Build the computer yourself?
You should start a museum. That's kid in a candy store material.

Welcome to the small but exclusive Infinite Space club. Nice find, hope you didn't have to pay too much for it.
My brother watched it and said it was good but not great. What happens in it is similar to the movie "The Raid: Redemption" but the Raid was better.
Have you seen the raid? It's great.
Might watch Judge Dredd and see what I think.

If I ever get a Wii U and/or 3DS it's because of these games... (and Monster Hunter Ultimate).Some pickups from the last week or so:
Congrats! Glorious pickup!
