Evangelion 2.22 on blu ray??? RAWR, need to find (US)! I'll have to take lots of pics of the stuff I've gotten the past 2 weeks. Kinda been splurging since I found out I wasn't going to be moving.

Poweredge T110 for running VM Ware ESXi. Starting to study for the VCP exam. Already went to the mandatory training class, so I need to get it done quickly.

And my new i5 760 I built with help from the guys in the I need a new PC 2010 edition thread.

Good luck. I took the VI3 class in 2008 but never pursued the certification. I wasn't a fan of the course ware but the technology is becoming more and more essential. I hear V-Sphere is a good improvement over 3.5.

I'm thinking of using my desktop to run ESX also.

Not many here care about retro stuff but I'll keep posting anyway. :(

I haven't made my rounds to my local BookOff and HardOff recycle centers in a few months and I was surprised to find some cheap Saturn and Dreamcast games.

I got all the Shining Force III scenarios for 100 yen each along with DOA2 and RE:Code Veronica for 100 yen each also.

I sold off Shining Force III Scenario II before I left for Japan 3 years ago and have regretted it ever day since. But now that I've found the holy grail of Saturn games (for me) once again, I'm in a euphoric state!

All discs, cases, and manuals were in near mint condition. I couldn't imagine a better pull than this. So totally stoked.

vSphere is significantly better than 3.5. Hopefully the upgrade we have planned at work will happen soon. I'm just amazed how many people go to the class and never used VMware and think they will take the exam the next week. Waste of 3k for the class and $175 for the exam.


@Upsidedown Fuji - Sweet pickups. Too bad scenario 2 & 3 never made it stateside.

Just got the stick today, Saturn was end of last month. Also got Blazblue but that's pretty much it for this month (besides Summer of Arcade games).

Gonna order some Siemitsu buttons and stick for it soon, really like the 4 colored xbox buttons so might do the same but with clear versions. It's a pretty amazing stick, really high quality. Sad to see my Mad Catz TE go but I already own a Hori EX-SE and don't need 3 sticks. Dont really need 2 to be honest but I love that hori. Good times.

Open for suggestions on Saturn games, need to find a stick for that as well.

Welcome to the Saturn brotherhood!

Here's some good games to check out:

Shining Force Scenario I
Dragon Force
Panzer Dragoon RPG
Die Hard Arcade
Saturn Bomberman
NiGHTS Into Dreams
Guardian Heroes (it's pricey but well worth it with a multi tap)

I'm sure there will be even more suggestions. :D

Seeing stuff like this is much more fun than all the new pickups (no one ever mentions the retro titles I post either, so we are a dying breed). Keep 'em coming.

Don't not post retro stuff dude. Retro is awesome, and always will be.

Posts like this make me wish I had a friend in Japan to find cool stuff for me as it might be awhile before I can swing $10k to fly over there for a week(most being spending money):lol

Funny you say that. Even my friends back home never ask me for anything. It's very confusing seeing as how they're as much into retro games as I am. They're probably turned off to the shipping cost...

So much stuff I want. Wonderswan games, Neo Geo Pocket Games, Epoch Game Pocket Computer Games, Random weird Saturn/Dreamcast stuff, I'd go broke.

Oh and some other recent pickups:

I used to spend almost all of my free time scouring shops like Book-Off and GEO looking for retro games while I lived in Japan. :D

Where the hell do you people get retro stuff in such nice condition? I never have such luck and thus find it hard to want to obtain more retro games/consoles.

What 360 model is that? I need to replace my current one at some point, but I'd prefer to avoid that ugly-as-sin glossy system.

My first post in this thread, fitting cause this is my best month in a while.
Clockwise (click for fullsize)
1. Eggplant squid dish from my favorite thai takeout joint
2. Pentax DA Limited 40mm Pancake lens for my K-X
3. Bunch of classic PC games someone at my work was selling, $40 for:
- Tie Fighter (OG and Collectors Edition), Strategy Guide and Defender of The Empire expanison
- Dark Forces 1 and 2
- X-wing
- Slip cases of Soldier of Fortune and Deus Ex
- Duke Nukem 3d Atomic Edition

Having these games again fills me with joy but with a tinge of sadness as well. Those games came from the golden years, games haven't been as good since then and I don't think they ever will be.

4. Iphone 4 16GB I got in the mail from Fido yesterday.

That heatsink looks ridiculous, but then again, I haven't seen one in four years since I built the PC I use now. I'll upgrade if Battlefield 3 is what I hope it's going to be (PC exclusive)

Hell yeah, retro pick-ups (though recently I started to call them Vintage :) ) are my fave as well. Older stuff is much more to my liking than the new stuff even though I post more newer stuff than old. Pretty logical I suppose, seeing as most of my new pick-ups are in fact new, it's hardly in keeping with the thread if I retro-actively post stuff I bought 20 years ago.
