Wow, did you take all of those pictures? I'm using one of them as my PS3's background.:D

Yep, all the photos were taken by me personally. The background you're using was photographed by somebody else since I've uploaded very few of my photos to the Internet.

Is that photobook ordered thru iphoto? How much did it cost?
Click to expand...

Ordered through Blurb.com. Cost me about $60 including shipping, but prices will depend on how many pages you have and the dimensions of the pages. Mine was 170 pages at 10X8 inches, hardcover with dust jacket.
 
Received a few things in the mail this week.

I'm expecting another FedEx package on Monday - hint: more MGS goodies :D
 
No pictures yet as I'm home for lunch, but I picked up a Wii today. $140 from a guy wanting cash.

*thumbs up*

So, I finally got a PS2, to play the MGS Collection I got last month. I found a craigslist ad that only said, "PS2, controllers, and memory card. There are some playstation games that I would include as well. - $25"

I jumped on it. $25 for a ps2? Sounds good.

What I got was a modded ps2 with 120gb harddrive, ethernet adaptor, 2 ps2 controllers, a memory card, a box of copied ps1 games.

Before all the modding is bad stuff comes in, I'm just saying.. I didn't do it. I guess now I can just copy my games to the harddrive and not wear out the ps2 laser though.

(they attached an external fan to the ps2 b/c it runs hot, and it runs on a separate power supply. I'm going to have to fix that eventually...)

Oh, and Blast Works for $10? I got that too.

Also picked up two pairs of shoes for under $40 total. Nice.
 
Very impressive book, SnowWolf. You've just given me some ideas on a few projects that I want to do.

SnowWolf just curious as to the camera your using, great quality pics

Most were taken with a Digital Rebel XTi with the kit 18-55mm lens. Others, particularly the ones in shopping areas, were with a Powershot S410.

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.

Parts: www.lizardlick.com
I went with 6 Seimitsu PS-14 KN pushbuttons, Sanwa GT-Y gate and a Seimitsu ball top

I downloaded the art template here: http://www.donovanmyers.com/arcade/
and just used some high-res Senko no Ronde art I had, and printed it on some glossy photo paper.

Also, be sure to check out MarkMan's arcade stick thread. Many useful resources are available there; not to mention helpful forumgoers.

Got it from my friend in Japan. I've seen the Famitsu PS3 on ebay a few times - and they usually come with the poster.
 
Bit of a busy month for me... cell phone pics sorry. Forgot my digi cam charger at aunties and thought I would take pics quickly and get them up before I get too busy to do any pics at all this month.

I got it at amazon for 703 with free shipping, when there was only one last friday(7/25). and yeah, it looks pretty fucking awesome in person. im no tv connoisseur but its a big hd tv, and its mine, so its awesome. i have no issue with color or anything, im very satisfied. with this samsung you cant go wrong id say.

Where'd you get the shirt?
Click to expand...

I pre-ordered it from hobbylinkjapn.com a few months ago and arrived in the mail couple of days ago. I'd say it's the best Gurren Lagann T-shirt in the entire website but there are some very unique shirts available as well and they sell out fairly fast ;O
 
I'm so happy cause I finally got my new arcade monitor. It's a 25 in. CRT from Neiman Video Displays. It's a little more expensive than others, but the image is really nice and has been getting great reviews from other buyers. I still haven't put in my CPS2 cabinet tho, hopefully tomorrow.

Been wanting to play STALKER for ages and finally found a cheap copy. Also saw Titan Quest and bought it on a whim based on GAF's recommendation.
