Yes Boss!

Damn, I've never seen such a white/clean/non yellowed New Astro City before!

Usually the speaker area is the first to go, but your cab is really NICE!

Congrats!

I love the old era Sega cabs (Aero/Astro/New Astro) :D

Man the US SNES carts are ugly as sin, why are they are so blocky. Is it just in Europe that the carts are lovely and rounded?
The European SNES is based off the Japanese design so (as you can guess) Japan also has the rounded cartridges (back in the days of old Nintendo of America redesigned the looks of the systems to make them look less like toys and more like consumer electronics, ironically the US SNES looked more like a toy...).

Europe and Japan. And yes, the US console and carts are ugly as sin. :|

Cheers for the info, I'd always wondered about the carts and weird looking console the US got.

NPC games were fuck cheap! 10€ for Pikmin, 12€ for Mario Tennis, 19€ for Pikmin 2. Another Code 25€, those PSP games 5€ each and the DS ones 20€ each...

damn, they hit my sweet spot with all of them :D

That might be the most awesome thing I've seen in a long time!
Also Gagaman: that Sonic statue is in stock on Play-asia.com if you want it sooner.

The shipping to where I am from there would be far too pricey sadly. I pre-ordered it with Forbidden Planet and they did finally send the Sonic vinyl figures last month so with any luck the statue should eventually show up. Apparently I'm in quite a queue.

I found it on Ebay one morning with 30 minutes to go. It was from a indie game shop that has been going for years, they said they paid £600 for it back when the Mega Drive was their best selling system. It was over 200 miles away to pick up but my dad does a delivery job all over the country so he got permission to pick it up when he was near that way. :D

I've been holding off until I got my new camera before taking more pictures, so some of these are from last month:

20090814-1u915s9cm8bbd7uuwa35e8sd74.jpg

Movie tickets to some of the best films I've seen this year and an admission ticket to Kennedy Space Center.

20090814-e3yt6ta2aq7gunnqm3hisn97ut.jpg

Some new Blu-Rays

20090814-m762ucupf6epy4kqj43tcjay3w.jpg

New camera! No more shitty cell phone pics.

I have a bunch more coming, but I couldn't wait any longer.

I played about 80 hours of Pokemon Pearl when it came out, and since I got my DSi I've been feeling the urge to show people my pokeymanz, so I figured what the hell.

Personal Trainer Walking is to track all the walking I do during the day that my Nike+/iPhone 3GS doesn't catch, and try to work on increasing that as well. Seemed WAY easier than keeping a spreadsheet or something!

PC Engine console with "The Kung Fu" (China Warrior) used but complete:

I ordered an AV Booster for it too, and that should be here tomorrow (the earliest) or Monday.

Got me my first (and probably last) arcade stick, courtesy of Gaf's own Kuran. I also got Wizardry and the Gyakuten Saiban artbooks off of him. Thanks dude!

Enjoy China Warrior! :lol
(but seriously, the PC Engine has a ton of great games, I'd like to grab one myself one of these days).
 
^ Whoa, that's an awesome deal for one of the absolute best games of the year.

It'll live up to the hype, especially at that price. It'd be crazy to pass on it at ~$10.

I will take a ton more pictures when it arrives at my door! You guys have absolutely no idea how happy I am, as this is something I have wanted since I was 11 and now, a decade later, I finally have it! This beautiful instrument means a lot to me, and I can't wait to play it. Dreams do come true! *sniff* :)

Gitboard? First I've ever heard of that term. Round these parts we call them either Keyboard Guitars or Keytars. BTW, thanks! :) I'm downloading the manual ATM, as I truly want to make the most of it!
