Nothing beats hearing a knock at the door and seeing the postman with a package from Hong Kong!

Bunch of stuff from the last few weeks!
Child of Light says it's in English and Japanese voices and text yet it's completely in Japanese and I'm not sure how to change it, perhaps a fellow GAFer could assist me?

If your Child of Light is R3 (Asian) and it looks like it (catalogue VLAS 36064), you have to download the 1.01 update to enable English support, and then switch your vita language to English (United States). Then it should show up in English text on your home screen.

If for any reason you have your vita set to English (United Kingdom) it will stay in either Chinese or Japanese

Edit: Pickups

Akiba's Trip Vita - Edit: Pic attached

How does Remote play work from across the globe? I'd imagine it would be laggy as allll hell

It was a bit laggy. Watch Dogs would run OK and then stop for a bit. Trials Fusion was difficult due to the lack of control on the throttle but did seem to run better than Watch Dogs. Child of Light was perfectly playable as it's turn based. Occasionally the picture would break up but it would quickly recover.

It was actually better than I expected. The internet was very slow to any US site, so I didn't expect it to work at all.

Regardless of how well it worked, I still find remote play to be like magic. You are literally on another part of the planet and you're playing a game machine that's in your home. Man... technology is crazy.

Let's play some games!

Nice pickups. I thought you were Sinthetic at first, haha.

Haha! I don't recommend being like me at all.

Haha, I wish I had some of the stuff he buys ;)

You seem to be doing not too bad on your end man.

-I was psyched to find a Twilight Princess guide in good shape (but missing the poster) for $7 at Half-Price Books last weekend.
Flash forward to yesterday evening - I find a better condition Twilight Princess guide (with the poster!) and all of the other guides for under $2 each at Goodwill. D'oh!

-I got a new set of speakers on Amazon and they sound fantastic! Definitely a huge upgrade from my previous setup (Energy Take Classic 5.1's).

-Got some new stuff to watch and test out my new speakers. :)

-I got a lot of great Nintendo stuff in the last few weeks - some of which I've wanted for ages!
I got Wii Chess, Congo's Caper, & the Secret of Mana 2 repro on eBay, Solar Jetman & Naruto at resale shops, and Wii Sports Club for $25 via Target's pre-order promo last week.

Yeah, it's R3. Okay, my Vita hasn't been connected to the internet in over a month so I haven't downloaded anything.

I'll give that a try once I can get a good wifi connection.

Thanks a lot! :D

I think the update was only 11MB. All the English text and voices are already on the cart

You can always just use my picture (I also bought a Framemeister this month):

Twin Peaks jumper from teevillain. Don't normally buy things like this (or clothes with any prints or graphics on actually). But I've always wanted a lame red christmas pattern jumper, and for $23 shipped to the UK I had too!

Damn fine!

The last pic is interesting, because it shows the members of your ME squad, including a salarian! That's the bartender which you can see in older prototype ME videos, so maybe you were supposed to recruit him at some point?

Bought Rune Factory 4 from the XSEED online store and they threw in a couple soundtrack CDs, pretty cool even though I haven't played either of the games. Also got a new book to read.

Youkai Watch 2 (Ganso edition) (3DS), finely shown by Jibanyan. Already have the digital version of Honke edition, but wanted a physical copy too - found it for a decent price and went for it.
