Has anyone actually managed to get a nendoroid to stand of it's own volition? Mine just won't stay up. The "stand" is absolutely useless, wouldn't help a housefly stay upright.

Oh yeah, got Pixeljunk Eden too, but can't get a decent photo of the screen. It's either got an eerie glow without flash, or the flash kills it.

I was kind of busy last month, so these are July pickups:

MegaMan2.jpg

Mega Man 2 on VC. I completed it the same afternoon I downloaded it, and that was the first time I've ever played it. Needless to say I enjoyed it. And continuing on the downloadable games theme:

KulaWorld.jpg

Kula World from the PSN store. Brilliant game, and I've been waiting to play it ever since I played the demo (back when it had the Japanese 'Kula Quest' name) about 10 years ago but I was put off by the £60+ Ebay prices due to its rarity. I couldn't say no for £3.49 though.

Edge.jpg

This month's Edge.

GersStrip.jpg

The new Rangers home kit (that's a football/soccer team for those who don't know). I like it, and hopefully we'll be able to improve on last year's successful season.

:D

That's the new North American Criterion release. Any online dealer should have it (including amazon). Make sure to get the remastered Criterion and not the older Anchor Bay disc.

I finally finished my photobook for my recent vacation and got it printed. Came in the mail today! Overall I'm pretty happy with it, just ordered another one for my family.

Front cover. I created a 10x8 hardcover book with a dust jacket.

My book totaled at 170 pages. Thickness comparison with the pathetically thin latest EGM issue.

I had pretty simple layouts for my pages. I wanted to display big photos, so there's not too much variation you can have in terms of page design when the photos take up so much space.

Haha, poor choice of words. "I had it printed by a company" is technically more correct.

I used Blurb, I like their software and they have quality printers. http://www.blurb.com

There was a guy last month who showed his iPhoto book printed using Apple software. I prefer Blurb because they're cheaper and I don't need to use Apple software. This book cost me about $60 including shipping.

It looks great, nice photo's too. I'm not expecting "real" photobook quality paper and print but it seems like it will be more than well. Thanks for the heads up.

Wow, great job, the book looks awesome. I'll have to show your post to my sister who just came back from Tokyo. She also wants to create a book using her photos and she wants to borrow my Mac in order to use iPhoto. I'll tell her that there are other solutions.

SnowWolf - If there is anyway you could make more copies of your book and make a profit, I'm interested in buying one.

Let me know.

I am extremely flattered, and yeah, Blurb does allow me to sell my book to the public through their bookstore. I'm kind of surprised you would want to buy it though. $60+ for an unknown family's photobook, really? My only concern is that about 15-20% of the photos feature family members prominently and I'm pretty paranoid about online privacy and all that. I can strip out those pages and upload a streamlined book, but the flow would probably be ruined.

Then again, I AM pretty lazy, it'll certainly be a lot easier to sell the book as is ;)

If you're serious about buying the book (remember, it's not all scenic photographs, there's plenty of touristy family photos), I'll think about uploading my book to the Blurb bookstore. I don't care about making a profit so I'll only increase my price by a few bucks to cover their fee.

Is there anything in particular you're looking for? The pic I posted that has the shopping mall with multi-colored floors is Dream Mall in Kaohsiung. Honestly, I've been to Taiwan 3 times in the past 4 years so Taiwan wasn't a major focus for my camera on this trip and only takes up about 25% of the book. I did have a major Taiwan vacation four years ago where I went around the entire island. If you want scenic photos from that, I can send you some but honestly you can find a lot better just by going through flickr.

Recent goodies. Mostly from the TRU site error and budget releases on Amazon. They utterly failed me on SC4 though. I accidentally ended up with 2 copies of Oblivion GOTY for PS3 from the TRU sale. If anyone is interested, let me know.

It's still early for August, but here's the loot so far.

In the upper left there is the Nike+ wristband. The art in the TWEWY manual is exceptional, and the fifth Penny-Arcade book is perhaps the best to date.

Its all good. I didn't realize so much of the book was family photos. I got the impression the book was all scenery shots. You don't have to go to all of that trouble.
