So, this month has just turned even more expensive:

Purity Ring's debut album on teal vinyl.

Bonobo's The North Borders on vinyl.

This awesome looking vinyl picture disc from Kraak & Smaak.

And last but not least. A € 290 leather jacket. Which blew a giant hole in my wallet.

It's good to be back gentle folk.

The Soul was Sacrified early

Neat for the physical release to have a sticker free flip-cover art as the stock European one isn't nothing to write home about.

They're a wonderful breed, aren't they?



Flatcoats are a British Retriever bred to retrieve game from hard to get to places. For the first half of the last century they were more popular in the UK than both Golden and Labrador Retrievers, but that changed after the 2nd world war, after which they became quite a niche breed. While I wouldn't go as far as to say they are rare, it's certainly not common to see them as pets. Even among gundog owners they are fairly uncommon though, with most opting for working type Labradors or Goldens.

And yes, the pair of them hit it off immediately and are as thick as thieves!

Thanks for your awesome reply.

You can check out the main track on that disc here: https://soundcloud.com/kraaksmaak/the-future-is-yours-1
Pretty great track in my opinion. But even if the tracks weren't awesome I probably would have bought it for the artwork alone.

 

[Str0ngStyle]

game way ahead of its time.

Internet hi Five my man. So damn good

Damn, that is some pretty sweet tune. Must resist the urge to buy the vinyl xD

Well you will have a blast with that precious game!

 

[suko_32]

Left one is the US version while the right one is the Japanese version that I bought a year or so ago. I never thought it'd come out here.

You should grab Tatsunoko VS Capcom. I think the license expired so we will likely not see a port or a sequel anytime soon, if ever.
Game is fantastic!

That doesn't look like a Liège waffle. It's a Brussels waffle as far as I can see.

Google link for Liège waffles imagery: http://www.google.be/search?q=gaufr...AWJyIHADQ&sqi=2&ved=0CDoQsAQ&biw=1680&bih=921

Liège waffles are generally sweeter and contain more sugar (which is why you don't normally put extra confectioner's sugar on top of them), there are often even little sugar lumps in the dough.

Thanks for the clarification on the difference. The waffles themselves were actually sweet without the powdered sugar (there actually is pearl sugar in the dough) but the owner of the waffle truck just covered the fresh made ones with extra sugar I guess.

I had some extra ones without the sugar and liked them more. Still, it's tradition of my workplace to have Staff Appreciation Week (versus just a day) to feature these waffles.

 

[JEKKI]

omg I got new video games!!!!

they were on sale at amazon so I bit!!!

but now I'm like $65 poorer

Thanks for the tip.

Also if anyone is looking a for a Katamari Damacy game, Munchables is recommended sort of second rate, but has the same kind of mindless fun.

My first midi keyboard/controller. Fun to just mess around with this.

Logitech Touchpad. So good for Windows 8.

Nice! I just recently took a chance and picked up the Akai LPK25 (one of their smaller midi keyboard/controllers) and am pretty happy with it.

Yay for yet another 360 shmup!

I can't get over how fetishistic the cover art is!

Nuns + torn clothing + dat territory. Surprised they didn't go for the eyepatch!

 

[jbueno]

Slow month for pickups as I´m terribly busy with work, and I´m saving up for an arcade cab, but here goes.

Needed a 360 pad for my PC, and finally found them with a nice discount so I bit. Had to bitch and moan to the clerks since they were trying to bullshit me that the promo wouldn´t apply with wired pads, but all their stock had the sticker so they went with it.

Need for Speed Hot Pursuit for $3, couldn´t resist.

And some Blurays from last month.

 

[Usobuko]

Left one is the US version while the right one is the Japanese version that I bought a year or so ago. I never thought it'd come out here.

Every time I look at any artbook, I'm reminded that the limited edition are usually miserable snippets that are not worth paying a premium for. I would rather buy the official artbook if it's available.

I'd been pining after the Japanese one for awhile, and I was super stoked when Udon announced it. I just got the English version today and I'm really impressed with it.

 

[RyougaSaotome]

Super Robot Wars J, Super Robot Wars OG2, Breath of Fire II. 500 yen a piece.

Yesterday I grabbed Mega Man Zero 2 and Breath of Fire for similar prices.

 

[Storm Prelude]

Nice! It's so cute!
I got 10 little turtles like this, thanks to my older and biggest ones that won't stop to lay eggs all around my garden.

 

[Yes Boss!]

True. I had not really taken a close look at the cover till now. Did not even see the full-on breast bump. Actual game seems rather tame, fwiw.

Well, maybe they just have a different take on Belgian waffles over there in California. (I visited San Francisco not too long ago, btw, great city!). It's just that here in Belgium, Brussels and Liège waffles are as I described it.

It's getting rather difficult nowadays to have real Brussels waffles though, I mean the real not-so-sweet ones. Not that many shops make them anymore, and all of them are located in the Brussels area. The Liège waffles can be found everywhere in the country, on food stands in all main shopping streets.

So that's why your post caught my eye. Because it looked an awful lot like a typical Brussels waffle. I guess your waffle must have been a variety on traditional Belgian recipes. I can imagine waffle truck owners would want to make their dough so that it appeals best to US or even Californian taste. I think even Coca Cola does slightly change their mix to different country's tastes.

Would you recommend holding off on Caladrius and go all in on DoDonPachi Saidaioujou next month?

Ahh, that makes more sense now, so thanks very much for the info. And yes, the flavors may have been tweaked at bit for Californians, though they are still delicious.

Anyways, I picked up some things on Saturday:

A medal

Some more books

A pair of glasses...

 

[deddonpachi]

My first midi keyboard/controller. Fun to just mess around with this.

what kind of music do you make?

 

[TheKayle]

my new babies!

 

[Rufus]

Niiice.

 

[4444244]

Some nice pick ups in here recently!

As for me, I picked up another* copy of PC Genjin 3 / PC Kid 3/ Bonk 3;

*I had an mashed up no box Hu Card only previously.

 

[Nitemare1]

Logitech Touchpad. So good for Windows 8.

I can confirm, picked one up a little while ago. Love mine for sitting on the couch with the PC up on the big screen.

 

[PaulExcellent]

You are now my favorite user on Neogaf.
Fucking rad, man.

region-locked, i presume

 

[Yes Boss!]

Yeppers :-( Of the four 360 shooters releasing this year two are region-free and two are region-locked (though jury is still out on SDOJ)

Would you recommend holding off on Caladrius and go all in on DoDonPachi Saidaioujou next month?

I dunno. That is hard man. SDOJ is the big gun releasing and if you can only go for one then that would be it. On the other hand, I'm loving Caladrius. Totally different from anything else, lots of fun with the six-buttons, great art and music. Just a total blast to play.

any idea what's in the Super LE version of SDOJ? read that they haven't announced it yet but the price compared to the Premium is kinda insane for one extra thing.

I'm wondering too. I just went for the normal LE. Gotta draw the line somewhere. $100 or $200...I choose $100.

Kinda appropriate that I'm listening to Dopesmoker the moment I'm writing this.
Awesome!
