I finally got the MGS2 Subsistence statues, I had the first set for a while but I've been looking out for these. Solidus is especially awesome.

I also got the MGS4 charging stand.

Except for some sluggishness in the touch screen (which I'm slowly getting used to after months of using my iTouch, hard transition) it's seeming to be a pretty nice phone. I don't use phones for much mind you. Just calls...and text. Yea...

If anyone else has one, how can you adjust your pics to fit the screen? It's annoying the way it crops them. Probably due to them being from my previous phone which was an LG Chocolate.

So dude, what's the book about?

A quick Google search tells me it's "Tales Inspired by Tori Amos." WTF? Will I like this even if I'm not a fan of her music? The art looks ace but Tori Amos... not so much.

Well I'm not a huge Tori Amos fan either, but it's basically little illustrated stories based on song titles or concepts (its not like the song themselves are illustrated). I mostly got it because I love compilation books, and it looked boss.

hey, is Kino no Tabi a light novel?? Or graphic novel? thanks!!
Click to expand...
It's a light novel - nice and light, easy to read ^^ Some nice chapter cover illustrations as well.

Someone already answered the Accent Core question, but yeah, I was pretty shocked too. I hadn't seen it anywhere, then POW, top shelf for a fiver. Real double-take moment!

I'm in Kauai right now on vacation, but I'll post a couple of things I picked up along the way while I was here on this awesome island.

Bought it at Costco in Kauai. I'm fucking loving this camera.

2008aug2.JPG


Some stuff at the local shop that was on sale. Can't resist the lazy bum hat. :D

2008aug3.JPG


Got this a couple days before my trip. <3 Gundam

2008aug4.JPG


Bought this on impulse from D2D, but I haven't really played this much on my downtime here.

I'd have to say this has been the best "pickup" this month for me so far. I'm fucking glowing because of it. :lol

Really awesome girl though. Sooooooooooooo cute. ^^

That controller on the left in the top picture, how is it? I was thinking about importing it and wondering if it was good or not. D-pad seems like the Nintendo cross shape and they sold one that was wireless, and the longer grips also look good.
Click to expand...

It's surprisingly great! Yeah, the D-pad's more traditional and feels pretty solid. The longer handles are nice. Battery life seems impressive too, I'm only using cheap knock-off brand AA's, but I haven't had to replace them yet.

Awesome haul DS.

Are you sure the SD card is legit?
Click to expand...
Hehe, thanks. I bought the SDHC card separately so it's all good. Time to jump into bed though. Got a long ass day ahead of me before I head back to Cali later on tomorrow.

I picked up quite a bit of stuff when I was in California last week.

I know a lot of people say PSU is bad, but it was just $10. Almost any game is worth $10.

My launch X360 took a dump so I got a new 60gig (kept my 120gig hd). Man is this one quite and it seems to load faster than my old one.

TRUE with two 65 CFM 120mmx38mm

When I was benching I'd run two 130 CFM Deltas on it, pretty loud.

Having 3 fans like that actually hurts thermal performance. But it looks cool I guess.
Click to expand...

Tell me why?

The spacing between the TRUE's fins is really small so you need pressure or some sort of flow to drag the air through it.

Where did you get that rack/table that contains your gaming systems?
Click to expand...
Walmart. Got it for $70 bucks. Oh and it comes with a desk, the one with my laptop sitting on it...pretty decent for what I paid for.

See World Heroes? All the games to the left of that arrived in August. Starting on the far left that's Neo Turf Masters (MVS to AES conversion), Robo Army, Art of Fighting 2, Samurai Shodown II, Crossed Swords, Ghost Pilots and King of Fighters '94.

Bought some Genesis stuff this month, too.

Cool, thanks. I had my eyes on them for a while, but never ordered because there were no solid impressions of them on the internet. I will probably order them soon.
