I was recently showing my girlfriend (A photographer) this thread and she asked if anyone who plays videogames knows how to resizes pictures I told her clearly not.

You got beaten by a week, oh snap.

 

[ErnieMcCracken]

Figured I'd bite for $5. Don't usually game on the PC but this certainly seems worth it.

I haven't seen to many of those this month. Bii and _Dementia are the only ones of note and they size their pictures.

but that can't play DQIX!


=) nice pick up.

 

[JEKKI]

Oh noez stock intel fan :lol Nice build

Nice !

But change the CPU cooler, and do a little cable management

why is the stock fan bad and what is a suggested replacement??

I donno much about computers other than other than the one we got at my house my mom put a couple games on there and I play-*&^%!@;>\]$#

This is more of an anti-pickup...

Protip: a soft case is not enough for a handheld with an open screen. Good thing my 2000 still works! I'll miss the suave color though.

 

[grap3fruitman]

Never watched it before today and liked it a lot despite some really cheesy spots. Though, would I rather it take itself very seriously like other super hero movies or do I enjoy the mix? Not sure which I would have preferred. BD burning up that warehouse scene was fucking awesome though.

This is more of an anti-pickup...

To be fair... you picked it up... after dropping it. Bu-dum-tish! Seriously sucks though. =(

I got one too. It goes good with my Metroid Prime one.

 

[RoninChaos]

I haven't bought anything gaming related this month so far, but I did pick up some stuff this week. Excuse the shitty pics.

New office chair, the Markus from IKEA. Love it, very comfy.

New fragrance.

The original guici by guici is amazing. How does the sport compare?

 

[SonOfABeep]

what exactly is meant by re-sizing photos?

I size them down to be viewable easier in the thread, but are you talking about editing/cropping them?

I just have a simple point-and-shoot and I take photos quickly as a way to participate in the thread, because I like seeing other people's pick ups.

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

I posted the rest of my retro pickups for this week in the 1000 yen challenge thread.

The only pictures I want to post here are of my UNOPENED copy of Chrono Trigger SNES and an unopened/unsold Sega Dreamcast Dream Eye. I put down 600 yen total for the two of them.

The Dream Eye was never opened and the batteries inside the packaging exploded from being 10 years old. Every thing else inside was just fine and still sealed. Even the box wasn't faded or dinged up. An incredible find.

I may end up ebaying the dream eye and Chrono Trigger as they seem to be worth some cash and I really don't need or want either of them. I do admit that Chrono Trigger box art looks pretty slick though. Usually I find loose carts or bent out of shape, faded boxes.

 

[Silicon Knight]

The original guici by guici is amazing. How does the sport compare?

I love it. The Sport edition is a bit lighter and more citrus-like than the original. It's more suitable for day-to-day use if you ask me. Also, the scents lasts an entire day easily.

I wouldn't worry too much about it, its the first time in a year I have seen someone mention it (lets be honest, we all enjoy spying on stuff in the background of people's pics)

There isn't really anything wrong with it, the standard fan will have your CPU operating at quite a high temperature. Mine was running at around 65C under load (Australian climate if that means anything)

With an after market cooler you'll get lower operating temperatures and you can overclock that summumabitch. I've gotten a 25% increase with my load temp below 45C. Running the CPU cooler can go a ways to extending its life too.

this

except fucking iphone(3 and 3GS) photos. I hate those. I dunno why but even my first VGA Nokia cellphone camera takes better pics.
freaking blurry mess

I hope iphone 4 takes better ones

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Still no Project Diva 2

Fuel was £6.99 in Sainsburys so decided it would fill the gap between now and the later August releases.

Bought Alundra 2 off eBay on the 12th July and, due to seller circumstances, only arrived today.

 

[atomico]

New copy is $28 on Amazon.

I don't live in the US
You need to factor in the international shipping + customs/taxes + hassle

Oh, and I just learned about the region-locked Games On Demand stuff while trying to buy ME1. sigh...

 

[Griffin]

A notebook cooler (LEDs can be turned off) and a USB charger with eneloop batteries.

What do you mean by "sizing" their pictures?
I don't even…

pixel width and height. For example justanotherotaku perfect size. Mortalmonkey on the other hand could shrink that picture of the kane and lynch comic down a bit. Just thoughts I love this thread it's probably my fav on GAF so I'm just throwing out a thought to keep it the classiest thread on GAF.

 

[Gameboy415]

And yes, that's Taromaru for the Sega Saturn. Been after that game for about 10 years now. Never picked it up due to it's price and rarity, till now.

Nice! Where did you score it and how much did you pay?

1000 yen challenge thread? I can't believe I missed that while I was living in Japan!
I remember seeing Dream Eyes quite often, but never that cheap. As for Chrono Trigger, I too found a mint CIB copy for only 150yen at WonderGoo a few years back.


.....God I miss shopping in Japan

I picked up a bunch of stuff this month so far (well for me at least).

I really needed to catch up on the manga... i'm still behind in Gantz and Yotsuba&!

First two books were alright so I bought this one too.

Gah... Classes are coming up in less than a month... I need 3 more (expensive) books :'(

The Overlord DLC... Something a bit more gaming related.

Here's hoping it's good. I still have to play it.

Two Steam games I got earlier this month.

 

[tsurugi no mai]

Alucrid: Very lovely photo layout. Well done.

[MisterNoisy]

To be honest, I picked this up for use at work:

Unicomp Customizer - their remake of the classic IBM Model M with the same buckling springs.

With your charming personality, it's painfully obvious you don't have a girlfriend.

Alright, this arguing about resizing pictures is getting annoying. Don't the rules in this thread clearly state not to go off on others here?

 

[Foxtastical]
