Amazon trade-in promotion from last month. I could have gotten an additional $15 off (so it would have been $13.99 lol), but I have still yet to receive my ECA membership info. I am going to see if I can get Amazon to prorate it. To be fair I should probably add in the $67.98 I spent on two copies of KZ2 from eBay that I used as my trade-ins.

Moved into a new apartment this month:
Living Room:
Kitchen:
Bedroom:
Bathroom:
Now I need to decorate it, any suggestions?
Needed a couch as well, this was taken in the store as it will be delivered next week. It is a Natuzzi.
Because I am lazy I picked up a Roomba 550
Upgraded my wireless router.
Also got a new 2009 Volkswagen GTI, it drives real nice!
I suppose I bought a bunch of games too...but that would be too many pictures as there are already a ton!

Damn that's incredible. You have bought two more. :lolDynamic3 said:

Yeah I really didn't mean to come off as an asshole but I'm pretty sure all of those are bootleg. I'm not going to sugar coat anything because I've downloaded some episodes of stuff that still hasn't come out on DVD (and don't look like they are coming out on DVD any time soon) but I would never pay someone to burn something for me, let alone 45 bucks.
Although I do think its a bit ridiculous that their still are no Rocko seasons available.

More like $35 bucks for everything. Should have explained that in the previous post. I don't have that kind of free time to search the internet to download that much content. Whatever, I'm happy with my purchases because who know when (or if) most of these shows will be released on dvd. All play tested and they look good on my SDTV. If the mods have a problem with it I'll gladly take it down.
From top left:
RDS Flexfit Hat, Allsop mouse pad, 2600 Quarterly (v. 26, # 2, finally got it), Blazblue, Case of Heineken (one dead soldier pictured), Universal ipod Dock (iPod is always charged now), Deadmau5 - Random Album Title, The Chemical Brothers - Brotherhood, Red 360 controller play and charge pack, and 1400 XBL pts.
Philips Arcitec RQ 1060
This was worth every single penny ($270 CAD). I had about a $50 shaver and the blades were starting to go so I went to the store and walked out with this. This model didn't come with the washer part, but its easy enough to clean under a tap. Best purchase all month, maybe even all year. Makes shaving so much quicker, easier and with better results.

finally...
->
(WLAN, 14.6 of the "up to 16" contract-phrase via LAN)
2 days w/o internet until it was clear, that my router needed the newest firmware update for VDSL and I managed to get access to someone's internet to download the update.
worth it... now everything is so ... fast :lol
(and it's cheaper than my old connection, too ^^)
oh and some new BDs too, will post photo later though

I normally wear Large t-shirts, but are these shirts on the smaller or larger side of large? I've been burned on euro sizes before.

Wlan hurts the ping I guess, have to check LAN downstairs. Though look at the difference, I had no problem kicking peoples ass online
besides in games I suck at
Upload is fine, nearly 100% of the max upload. It is DSL, your's cable I guess. My download could be higher but it depends on your region.
@zoku88: sry, I only posted these to show the difference, this a life changing August-purchase for me :lol
oh and here are the new BDs:
on a related note (AC): I hate removing stickers(-residues) >.< Seriously why?? It is not hard at all: either put them on the plastic foil or use easily removable stickers.

There's a little bit of Rocko on DVD: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001EHDSRU/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I, and I assume many others, would prefer full season sets but I guess it's better than nothing.
sikkinixx said:Ugh... I'm jealous of your upload
You may not want to look at mine then....

Always loved dipping into the Pick Up threads before my account was activated, now I can take part myself
Apologies for the not too great quality, just got my phone to take pics with.
Couple of game related books I've been meaning to pick up for a while...
Almost done with the Mass Effect one, it's not too bad, some nice background on the universe and such. Shall be getting the second book once I'm done I think.
Got the first volume of Walking Dead a while back, thought it was about time I grabbed the next one, not touched it yet though. Got Mirrors Edge for about 8 quid, glad I never got it at full price, lots of good ideas and it can be fun but it's horribly frustrating at times.
Downloads:
Enjoying this alot, crazy hard in places though. Wonderful personality throughout though.
Not at all worth 800 points, but oh well I had some fun with it. Had they charged 1200 for it I'd be pretty pissed.
Finally decided to jump in and bought Persona 3 FES, gonna borrow my little sisters PS2. Sadly it's STILL not bloody been posted, really can't wait to play it.

I ordered this back at the beginning of June. Because they're ceasing production they've been really hard to get hold of, but finally it's here! ^_^
Of course I now can't do anything with it because we still need to decorate the wall it's going to be mounted on! :lol

And I'm struggling to pluck up the courage to mount it.

Thanks for pointing me to that shop. Just ordered a Total Recall and Aliens shirt. They seemed to have Terminator shirts too, but not any more. The Die Hard one also is out of stock in my size.

*hi-five* I got the same pair last fall as an early birthday present to myself, as I loved the colors of 'em. And like you, my size (9 M) is damn near impossible to get, but luckily they had it.
Gameboy415 said:
The only thing really crappy about those is that 1) They are Amazon Exclusive, 2) They don't include all the episodes as you said and 3) They are part of this "burn on demand" program of Amazon. When you order those DVD's Amazon burns the episodes on DVD-R's and gives and puts them in a case. It is apparently completely legal because they worked out a deal with Nickelodeon but for some reason Amazon burning these on DVD-R's unsettles me.
Dragon Quest: Chapters of the Chosen for £6.93 (my first Dragon Quest
)Mystic Quest Legend
Street Fighter Alpha (Game Boy Color)
Game & Watch Gallery 3
Mole Mania
Game Boy games were dirt cheap off ebay, Mole Mania I'm particularly pleased with as I've been after that one for some time. Mystic Quest was only £3.50, so I thought I might as well. As for Dragon Quest, I got that for £6.93 off thehut.com with a £1 voucher they gave me for not having shopped there for some time (the usual price is £7.93). My first Dragon Quest, so looking forward to getting stuck in!
Marvel vs Capcom 2 on 360. I now have HD Remix, IV and MvC2 on 360. What can I say, I love my Capcom fighters!
