Locke's Quest

I was looking for that at my Toys.... Is it fun like I think it is?

 

[Bad_Boy]

but it started to storm really bad(not a uncommon thing here in North Carolina) so I put it off for another day.

What part of NC?

Creedmoor/Butner..a few mins from Raleigh/Durham

 

[enewtabie]

I'm so jealous of you right now. Waiting for Tuesday for my copy of Arkham and Metroid.

 

[SW20]

My first of many Pick-Ups posts!

 

[red shoe paul]

Very. Very good.

 

[SW20]

Very. Very good.

Been looking for this game for a long, long time now!.. I'm a little irritated because couldn't find one with a box and manual!!!

 

[alba]

Got both on ebay for cheap

 

[Chorazin]

Yeah, it's a really fun game, lots of twists on the tower defense game. I played a few hours on a friend's copy, so I'm glad I was able to get it for cheap.

 

[KanZolo]

Had a Brendon Benson week in celebrtion of his new album.

Tuesdy: Picked up the CD

Yes. I'm a total fanboy. Heres one of my fav songs if you've never heard http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5WzRc3u5ac&feature=related

 

[Patriotsbball5460]

IcaMaxi Supermarket (love them) lowered the PS3 price to €299 ($427) from €399 ($570) just to clear their stocks before the PS3 Slim comes.

So I picked one up, and Resident Evil 5.

Is this the first PS3 in the thread since it was marked down???

 

[-Winnie-]

THAT BLOODY CIRCLE!!!

 

[Buckethead]

I was going to post in this thread, but then I saw Liquidus' stuff and now I want to kill myself because I'll never measure up.

 

[Efrendal]

Few things i picked up this month. Batman for the PS3 coming in a few days. (i hate you iCon )

 

[finskninja]

- Termo Electrico: Very practical item. I think in Britain they call it electric teapot or something like that. I'm a "Mate" junkie and I'm constantly drinking it all the time. I bought this because you can regulate the temperature of the water and since the "Mate" needs to be a few degrees below the boiling point, it's usefull specially for me and my sutpid memory (always forget that I put the teapot in the fire and the water is always boiled).

Hehe is that a pot of gold i see there???

 

[finskninja]

Went to Sinfonia Dramatica, a concert with music by Chris Hülsbeck and Yoko Shimomura preformed by the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra.

Was it a good concert? My wife and i were going to see that one but we decided to see Kebnekajse instead

You probably already heard of him, but you should check out Jason Mraz!




Something else completely OT, How in the fuck is it already the 24th 0_o! Damn this month flew by!

 

[tracky_dacks]

Went a little crazy last week.

iPhone 3GS (w/ invisibleSHIELD screen protector) replacing my Nokia E71 which I loved.

Just Mobile Xtand. Rotates 360 so you can view it vertically and horizontally.

Entry level Mac Mini, keyboard and Might Mouse. Upgraded the RAM to 2GB and installed Plex. Makes for an awesome HTPC!

Love seeing iPhones in this thread.

It was alright. I find Yoko Shimomura's music to be kind of bland or dull, but the Royal Philharmonics were great as always. Chris Hülsbeck's pieces were a lot more interesting.

 

[tracky_dacks]

Love seeing iPhones in this thread.

It's an awesome device, but admittedly I miss using the QWERTY keyboard of the E71. But I'm getting the hang of it.

Anno 1404 Limited Edition, numbered 430/30.000

The box is real wood and leather.

Comes with the game, a crafted wooden compass, artbook, bonus DVD, a few seeds of some tree and a poster.

Also i picked up Drakensang and the perfect soundtrack for it

 

[MarkMan]

I love the 3GS. I'm gonna get one in a week or two, so much better than my current G1 and my old iPhone (first gen)...

I like qwertys too, makes texting while driving easier :x

A Twist In The Myth is excellent. Enjoy it.

Edit: I really hope your driving while texting bit is an aborted attempt at humor, MarkMan.

 

[Liquidus]

Picked up a carton of smokes and some cheap Sony MDR-XD 200 headphones:

 

[Jago]

Extra harddrive:

 

[Digital-Hero]

Only downside is that I don´t think I have time for all this goodness

Holy crap!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! x 10

 

[dragonflys545]

Finally

 

[WEGGLES]

Prof Layton Get!

So far just as excellent as the first.


To bad the box art is shit. Why'd they put that dumb blue bar on it? DS boxes are small enough as it is. :{

 

[neoism]

Well, I got 4 plain colored T-shirts.

A bunch of Car cleaning supplies!( I hadn't cleaned it in like a year! :/)Took me 4 hours!

2 Tickets to District 9, we Loovved it, one the best movies I've seen this year!

To lazy to post pics their plain...

 

[Yes Boss!]

Damn, I'm pretty down with the box art. I specifically enjoy the Nintendo log0 on the blue background that makes it appear old-school (could do without the dual languages, though).

Anyways,

Picked up part two of three for VC:

 

[WEGGLES]

Damn, I'm pretty down with the box art. I specifically enjoy the Nintendo log0 on the blue background that makes it appear old-school (could do without the dual languages, though).

I like the art, but I hate the big blue bar taking up a good 1/3 of the space covering the nice pic with stuff that should be on the back of the box.

It'd be like if they put a big blue banner over a large portion of a MGS box and it just was like "SNEAKING MISSION" with stock screen shots. :\

And the dual language is law in Canada. (Which is dumb for games like Layton, since it's only in english....:lol :lol :lol )

I'm guessing a big part of why the box is set up that way is because a few big US retailers have their games locked in cases so you can only see the front (Wal-Mart, Target). To the casual DS user that likes Brain Age, etc., they'd have no idea Professor Layton is all about puzzle-solving/brainteasers unless it is specifically explained on the front of the box. Which it now is.

Couldn't they have just put a sticker on the shrink wrap?

Oh well. That lame box art ruining bar doesn't affect my enjoyment of the game

 

[MarkMan]

New bag for my Macbook Pro. Nice canvas texture with blue lining (my fave color!) !

sweet case...Incase bags are always top notch!

 

[Conrad Link]

The Japanese Layton cover is similar isn't it? Probably some universal decision.

Edit: Just the blue bar thing is the same, dunno what it says in said bar whether its a similar theme or not. :lol Knew there was something similar about the two though.

[SmZA]

Bought two more PS2-games last week, making my PS2 collection almost complete, for my taste.

Both were new&sealed, around 21€ each. (SotC is from India actually :lol "For Sale in India Only" )

Awesome, I've been hunting SotC on PAL for ages. I've seen those Indian sellers on eBay but assumed they were pirated or otherwise crappy. I've just bought one from the same seller as you did

Nice setup! I got the same case when I built a new rig. Could be quieter but it's all good.

[Spayro]

New shelves to add more room for the damn Might Muggs. Cheap metal ones ($5 each) and they add some stuff on the walls since the room is kind of barren.

I like the little Chuck Palahniuk collection there.

 

[ha1f]

New bag for my Macbook Pro. Nice canvas texture with blue lining (my fave color!) !

How's the quality on that bag? I'm looking to pick up a new backpack and the slim form factor of some of the incase stuff has really caught me eye.
