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.

They seem to be on the larger side of large. About 21" across. I'm pretty thin, so the large is a bit loose on me. But hopefully it will shrink a little when I wash it. I'm going to try a medium for my next shirt.

As for the shipping cost to the states, I can't remember exactly. There are two options though, one with tracking and one without. Either way, the total cost in dollars is not exactly cheap for a t-shirt.

Got this today and I'm still as bad on it as I was back then. I graduated High School when this game came out..:lol Thinking about checking out the new Wii Ware game also.

What are your impressions on Soma Bringer? Does it have English subs/localisation?

Hey, here's my sweet stuff.
It would seem I'm not very good at taking pics, look at the light reflecting on it, a lot of pics are like this, sorry I suck. I wanted this thing so bad, they had 1 more copy at the eb when I bought it a month ago.

Not too far in this game yet, only 20 hours

These were $100 off so I bought them. Pretty sweet.

This was super cheap and I've been using iPods since 2g, so I wanted something new. Zune has it's ups and downs.

My brother just came back from Lebanon, picked me up some stuff.
This is the best gum out there anywhere.

This is called Shisha. Fruit flavored tobacco that you smoke...

...with this. Called a Hookah. Most of the ones in Canada that I've seen are usually 1/3 the height of this one and finding a big one is easy but it costs around $100+ . This was $40. I wanted a quad tube but he couldn't find one.

a fair amount of stuff, but finally paid up to get this (went unboxed to save a few hundred $!!)

It's an awesome game, isn't it?? :D
How much did it set you back? I miraculously found my copy for only 250円 (about $3!!) last year but I know it usually goes for a LOT more.

Picked up a few more things over the last week:

0908Sony.jpg


-激写ボーイ2 ~特ダネ大国ニッポン~ (AKA: Gekibo 2) - Really interesting side-scrolling photography game.
-ポイニーポイン (Poinie's Poin)
- Weird 3D platformer with a very vulgar full English mode.
-Ghostbusters: The Video Game - Traded a copy of SW: The Force Unleashed for it. Great game!
-Jingle Cats - It was 100円 and I loved the Jingle Cats X-mas CDs as a kid so I had to buy it.
-THE イラストパズル&スライドパズル (Illustlogic & Slidelogic) - Picross & Slide puzzles for PS1

0908Nintendo.jpg

-Yoshi's Island SNES Guidebook - Great art and a bonus manga in the back. Only 105円.
-Pokemon Ranger Guidebook - 100円. I love these Japanese guides!
-巨人のドシン (Doshin the Giant) - Another game for the N64DD I DON'T have yet....haha

...and last, but CERTAINLY not least. My miracle pick-up of the year:

0908Spidey.jpg

-The Amazing Spider-Man: Web of Fire for 32X - I CANNOT believe I found this! And at a Japanese recycle shop of all places! This was the last 32X game released in America and since there were so few copies released, it's incredibly hard to find and expensive. But I got it for only 2625円 (about $27)!!! :D :D :D

I'm a sucker for cheap deals when browsing the mall...$10 for a new copy of the witcher!

The clerk carded me when I bought the game...I'm 23 and don't look that young. Anyway, good times. I think I'm going to dust off my old xbox since I take it there never going to add backwards compatibility for Oddworld.

That's a pretty hookah. Damn, I haven't smoked nargila in ages.
 
I haven't posted in this thread in a while, and normally I wouldn't, but I found this down at a music store at the beach today.

I've been playing it on my Acekard with the very well done English translation and I love it. It might be tough to go through in Japanese however. The game is a fun hack-n-slash rpg and the story is good so far, it's broken up into different chapters. Graphics are great and you have a wide selection of characters to choose from in the beginning. There are also a lot of quests from NPCs to break up the storyline.

Canada deal only. They were retailing at Future Shop for $400, The Source had them for $300(which is what you guys pay anyways, damn Canadian dollar), Just price matched with FS and got them for 289.99.

Yea they're pretty good. We've been doing this a lot lately here, experimenting with the coals and what not. The stuff burns way too fast though compared to the real coals, but I love that stuff.

What kind of drums are those? Those aren't the Ion drums, are they?
ION'S. They're pretty sweet. I made fun of people who were buying this a year ago but after breaking my 4th drum set, I could of bought an ION with that $ so it was time to invest.

Of all things in this thread, I am most jealous of this. Nice find!

It's pretty good. I'm not one to buy CD's but those were 2 for $25 at HMV. Deadmau5 is from Toronto, so I gotta support a local artist.

Its got some crazy lows. With the right car audio system, its almost painful :D . My buddy says a few of the songs are similar, which they are in some cases, but Deadmau5 sticks to what he's good at. "Sometimes Things Get, Whatever" and "I Remember" are both great tracks in my opinion. If you like Deadmau5, check out Kaskade.

The slimer should stick down then pop up in the air. Lots better then any old bobble toy.

I've actually got two jank HDTVs (one Samsung and one Vizeo), so the games could look better. If you are looking for tips there are usually threads that pop up from time-to-time about how to make Wii look better on HDTVs...usually they involve buying a plasma. Also, start with component cables at the very least to split the colors.

I went fishing this past weekend. Our group ended up with 12 king salmon and one lake trout. I ended up with about a dozen filets like the one shown.
