I haven't started to read Saga yet but I've only heard good things about it. So far i can say that the first few pages are great and i also love the art.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Awesome! Didn't know about this book, and Gravity Rush is one of my favorite games. Thanks.

I'm really not a fan of lighting inside a PC case - oftentimes it looks a bit too gaudy and/or tacky for me. But, I also wanna show of my components (half the fun, right); so I *think* I managed to keep it classy - though I did go to town with some Windex right after I snapped this picture:
Also bought some DC games to kill time with from a user here:
And yay $20 sales:
And some clothes on sale:

Just got these two in the mail. The only real question is: What do I spend that $30 eShop credit on?
The Legend of Korra - Book One: Air (US Blu-ray)
Awesome. Is TLoK Region 1 (or A or whatever) only?

fukn hell how bad did that ink hurt? lines are nice and straight too.
My first tattoo, but it really didn't hurt. Felt kind of like cat scratches. I get back pain a lot so I may have a higher tolerance than usual though. Been looking into getting the right artist for a long time, decided on Dali in Ebisu as he specialises in black and grey, twenty years under his belt and a great gallery. Graphic Tribe Tattoos (NSFW).

how old are u? I've got 14 inks and as I got older it hurt more and more. esp 6hr+ sessions.. the body kinda gives up. for me, wrists and shins were the worst. I really thought the head would hurt more as there isn't much fat or flesh.
although Urs is a simple ink, the lines are very nice and clean.
I could not agree with you more! I'm 28 now,and after 2, 6 hour sittings on my ribs. I'm ready to give up.
28 in October - session took around two hours. Hurt my back a lot more than my head! I was expecting it to feel a lot more raw afterwards... I guess that'll happen soon enough.

Haha cool. it's gonna get itchy as shit though! keep it moist, use benpanthen ointment regularly and keep it clean. pat it down, don't pull or scratch and you will be cool.

we bought a puppy, have been promising my wife for a long time that when we finally got a house she could have her puppy, so this is our 2lb yorkie
a little different experience then my last dog, a boxer that I had to give to my dad when i moved into my apartment
Just fyi be sure to take him/her to the vet at least once a year, we just lost ours to kidney failure and pancreatitis. It is supposedly common in the yorkie species, other then that enjoy the little guy.

Started playing DMC3 the other day (HD) and I noticed my copy of DMC4 went missing so I had to grab a copy. Also, got a copy of NFS Most Wanted U while it was dirt cheap on Amazon.
The bigger purchase this month was my newly acquired dream car: 2014 Audi S4:

Great month for S4's! That's a very sexy car
Can't wait to get my A4 back myself after shipping it cross-country.
First pickup of my final week in Japan (been here 5 years). Also got a Wailord plush. Good combo.
That's a real tattoo?
Whoa, nice S4. Would have got one myself if my budget was $20k more when I bought my new car last year. haha
Pokemon Adventures. Volumes 1-7.
I've played the games, I've seen the TV show and I've played the card game. Yet, I never bothered with the manga until now. Having gone through the first volume, the art and writing is amazing. Simple yet endearing; unlike the mangas of today where action/fight scenes are peppered with abstract artwork and dialogue. I usually have to flip back a few pages to understand what the hell just happened. This is not the case with Mato's art/paneling. A good example is below. The action is explained, the action takes place and the result of it are all displayed on one page. One page! Bleach/Naruto/Attack on Titan/etc. would have taken 3-4 pages to convey all of this.
Also, Poliwrath's got #thatpower

Yeah, I was able to test it some more. Highest speed downhill I've got so far is 68 km/h (42 mph). Zero speed wobble too. I think it's a good time now to learn how to slide, haha.
Thank you! ^_^

It's codefree.
Hit a local pawn shop in search for old games and a CRT for my TATE setup, and got these two. Not bad for about $5 USD a piece. GT2 in particular was pretty mint, as good as new, not a scratch in sight. Silent Hill 2 though is a bit overriden with stickers, but nothing good old Goo Gone won´t solve.
Also got these with the bonus Fire Emblem / Megaten $30 eShop promo. Already had Sakura Samurai and Mario Minis.

That's a really good price mate! I got mine for $49.99 on sale lol
Oh yeah. I couldn't pass it up at that price!
I was also looking to put together a list of musou games that I'm still missing and I still had a couple to go, so I just ordered Warriors Orochi Z from Japan for $40 including shipping as well.
Never thought I'd like this genre so much.
Played it many years ago with some kids on a PS2 but never thought they would be so entertaining. Always fun to discover something new like this.
Can't believe just how many games are out there though! lol
I'm just going for the PS3 ones for now and it looks like I'll end up with 20 games when all is said and done!
Even the 3DS one is looking very appealing at this point. Gonna be an expensive summer with what I have coming from Japan later this week.

Did you get original print of Orochi Z or The Best"" print? Cause if the first one that is really cheap, where did you get it?
I was waiting for the price drop for Sengoku Musou 3 Z but I don't think it will get lower then $65 anytime soon. It's not a bad price, but $50 would be much better
It looks like you right, summer will be very expensive but what can you do, it's so hard to say no GundamBanshee

A good friend of mine got me a really awesome gift for my birthday (which was last month, but I didn't get around to posting it until now - sorry bud!)
A wicked cool Versa Emerge shirt and Arrow Ring, Fueled by Ramen CD, Disgaea 3, and a cute card, to boot.
Thanks again, B! I love 'em.

Woah, VersaEmerge! ♥ That arrow ring looks pretty cool.
You should get Disgaea 4 if you don't have it. Your friend is awesome.
Working on getting a better camera, but here is my pickup from earlier today!
I got a great deal on it too.
God that Famicom themed Game Boy Micro is hot. I got mine for 20 dollars with 5 games on Craigslist a few years ago but it didn't come with the box. Awesome pick-up.

Some recent acquisitions:
A bunch of awesome Treehouse giclees and lithos:
These next two are damaged, but they're replacing them soon. I'm getting artist proofs as replacements!
Double-sided GTA V promo poster:
Double-sided MGS legacy collection promo poster:
Tomb Raider Reborn giclee signed by the artist! These were not signed originally.
I have an extra signed one in case anyone wants it.
Signed Daisy Fitzroy canvas:
A couple of promo RE4 posters:
This one's double-sided:
This here I posted before, but a few people had asked how big the billboard actually is. I added a ps3 controller in the pic for scale. Hopefully you can now see that the billboard is much bigger than a cake ornament.
Diamond Plate Loot Chest:
Two very special MGS posters. The first one was exclusive to E3 2013 and handed out only to VIPs, and other lucky folks. The second one was used only as a display piece at PAX East. They were not handed out or sold.
VBOTM shirts:
and the best for last...
I lucked out and managed to get my hands on this awesome AC IV pirate flag kit!
The chest looks great, and the flag is very nice quality; it's huge too!
I have an extra AC IV pirate flag kit available for sale in case anyone is interested.
Here, I took a pic comparing the sizes of both flags from the last two flag kits.
As you can see, the pirate flag is considerably bigger than the colonial flag.
And here's one final shot of both kits!
That's it for now, I think. I'll be back with another short, but sweet update some time soon hopefully.

Yup. They turned it into a (crazy) 22-color screen-print.
Yoshichan
And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Nope, haven't played it at all! I will probably get back to it eventually!

I have never played any pikmin game so i honestly don't know what to expect. How bad can it be?
If i do not like it i can give it to my nephew or something.
Picked up pikmin 3, wiimote and nunchuk
(Which i hate but forced to use with some damn games)
