New pickups for the end of this month:
HP Mini: It's a 1.6ish Ghz machine with a 10' screen. Bought it for my gf so she can access it while taking care of the newborn. Will also be a good machine to take on the road and tether the internet using my iPhone. Bought the red mouse because my gf loves that color.
Batman AA: I never played the demo but saw the metacritic score and I couldn't let that pass with such a low price. Funny thing, Batman cost 40$ but I got "sorta" 30$ off it since the PC above dropped from 329$ to 299$ in just one week so I went back to BestBuy and asked for the difference.
I did not buy the books but rented them at the library. They're from the Sorcellery series of Book where you're the hero (but in french) and I got a recent craving for them. I'm happy.

First PS3! Bought KillZone 2 and Ratchet & Clank: ToD. Uncharted coming in the mail (GameStop was sold out) and picking up LittleBigPlanet: GoTY edition in a few weeks!
Never understand why people would save just a few dollars out of a $60 game and get it used. You get a worn out copy and it hurts the developers. If the used price is much cheaper I would understand, but this?

Pretty much the same as the PS2 game. You can play up to four different control methods, and I don't think any use the pointer. The extra story stuff is sorta weird. They couldn't get Steve Blum or Crispin Freeman back. The levels are pretty good though. And for 40 bucks it comes in a nice slip case and with an art CD. If you don't have the PS2 game, and you're looking for an SRPG for the Wii, it's a good buy. Just be prepared for a bit of level grinding.

We got slimz...
The incase line for their new bags are really nice. I have both a 15 and 13 MBP and would recommend them to anyone. The quality on the canvas/outer is really good and the inner/soft lining is soft enough/padded enough where I don't worry about throwing my macbook in there/leaving it in there.

Its very nice.
Got it cheap for £8, has a nice weight to it, very accurate. It has a groove down the grip to put the nunchuck lead into so it doesnt get in the way.
Played it with HOTD and Resi Evil UC and had no problems, plays great on both games. Its about a thousand times better than that piece of shit Wii zapper.

I don't care about supporting the developers (yeah, yeah, I know) but I'll buy a used game if I can't find it elsewhere. Hasn't happened much this generation but it's a lot easier a lot of the time to buy used rather than order it from Amazon. I don't buy them when it's so little of a discount though.

It's an interesting movie to be sure, but I wouldn't be caught dead walking around with a shirt in support of it. Or at least, I'd avoid the person that did.nny said:Clockwork Orange-themed pick-ups:
Appy Polly Logies for the pics being not-so-great.
Creepy as hell. :O

Yeah, I was expecting it to be half the size it is, similar to regular CE boxes that come with the plastic outside.

OMG!!!
The Sorcellery series of book of "Un livre dont vous êtes le héro" was great! I remember to have read them when I was in high school like 20 years ago... (ouch that make me feel old). If you like those ill recommend the "Loup Solitaire" series up until the 5th one, after that the stories is a bit different and not as good :-(.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Got some more stuff recently, but no hardware
I want some new hardware.
Oh, actually the chair they're sitting in is a new pickup. It's mega comfy.
