This was like a dream catch. list price was 17,800, was marked down to 14,900, got it for 13,000. only has 87k km. after i got it back, i found a speeding warning from arizona in the glove compartment, the previous owner was a woman born in 1931. so mostly highway miles, driven by a little old lady. the car is like new, loaded. sunroof, power everything, leather and wood everywhere, cd changer and all that. its just gorgeous.

I'm in San Diego, CA. Good luck with the house purchase! Gas prices down here are ridiculous!

hehe, I wasn't sure if you were bring a dick, or if the SR50's big bike-like bodywork had deceived you :p
Naw, but that scooter does have a bike-like body now that you mention it.

Still, I like my Buell.

These are my March purchases. I would've posted them in that respective thread but I was waiting for a certain game that I purchased in March to arrive.
SANY0743.jpg

I went to pre-order MGS4 LE and told the guy I didn't buy the DMC4 CE there and he goes into the counter and gets me one of those. Thought that was nice of him. MGS TSE, what else is there to say, I love it. RSV2 is now consuming a lot of my online time now that they fixed the server issues.

This is indeed my biggest PSP month ever with these 2 high profile games. I haven't talked about it in the official thread since I was waiting to finish CC FF7 (which I just did tonight!) but I can't wait to play GoW. The game I was waiting for that I bought in March (Dragon Warrior 7 in GREAT condition) finally arrived today as well. All in all, gaming wise, I think this was an excellent month.

Odd choice for a personal car, what made you get one? They're awesome vehicles though.

Coming from someone who has seen all episodes: That's the opposite of "Money well spent.":D
 
Late last month + uh, now.

Vidya gaaammes. Play-Asia sale. :(
Bottom right is the special edition of the hilariously awesome Blood Grinder movie.

I also came across a Saturn this arvo, which was kinda cool considering mine's been crapping out for a while now. But I didn't notice this is actually an American Saturn 'til I got home!

thingssat003.jpg


Came with a step down adaptor..

thingssat004.jpg


But I still need to get something to actually plug it into the bloody wall to see if it even works! Does anyone know if the Saturn Action Replay will run PAL games on an American system?

Nope, as I said, it's still at the dealer as record amounts of snow stop me from bringing it home. Right now it's in the basement, in a room full of other bikes (KTM, Aprilia, Thor, etc)

Sorry bud, ill learn to read one day. Enjoy our new bike :)

What is that? It looks Sega related?

It's Segagaga!

"Back in 2001, over in Japan, Sega released a niche Dreamcast game called Segagaga. It is dubbed a "Sega Simulation", which already sounds distinctly different from your typical video game. The concept behind the game isn't too far from reality - Sega is in DEEP trouble, having lost all but 3% of the world marketplace share to the insidious Dogma Corporation. In order to save the company, the president initiates the super secret plan Segagaga, wherein they pull some random kids off the street, put them in charge of the company, and hope they put the company back on the track to success. Naturally, you're one of those kids."

Too right the postage is bad for Australia, $27 hurts the pocket a little. Thats why I grabbed 2 shirts and the coffee mug. I figured that the postage spread out across those items makes it just bearable.

If I'd known anyone else was interested, I would've gone halves or something. I want to grab a few other things from there later. Aussies PM me if you want a part of that order or vice versa.

Never put Voyager at the top. That is a known rule.

It was initially released only through Sega's online store, D-Direct. In addition to the standard jewel case, it was also released in a DVD case, as well as issued in a special edition boxset that included a t-shirt and some pins. Since the game met with some success, it was eventually released into retail, although it's still not an easy game to find. Anyone willing to brave the Japanese language will find one of the most original, self-referential titles ever made, a stroke of genius that's a virtual dream come true for Sega fans.

I was always curious about this game, but fearing too big a language barrier I've never even searched for it. Even without understanding the game, that package alone is a great collector's item; congrats on your purchase.
