How are you liking it? I was just looking at this and its smaller 24" counterpart and I'm kind of curious. Any hick-ups or anything that's irked you with it?

None so far, although I've only used it as a computer monitor via HDMI - works fantastic. Having a little difficulty calibrating it to my liking however I doubt it's the monitor's fault.

But you could start a whole new thread called, " MarkMan isn't crazy, he just really really likes arcade sticks." ;p

Seriously though, I'd love to see the massiveness of your collection. It has to be legendary.

360-controllah for PC so I can play Dirt2 which I got with my graphics-card.

Sucks that it isn't wireless though. Otherwise a comfy controller, my right thumb hurts a little though, not sure how I had it positioned.

That is the tastiest shot of a controller I have seen. Congrats.

The manual for Killzone is amazing, it's like a tabloid.

Some weird puzzle I got for christmas.

 

[Mr. Sam]

It was very... Blu Christmas. See what I did there?

You got your Casino and Raging Bull:

My three personal favourites - picture quality was awesome on all three of these. Oh, and you can just about see the crotch of my jeans (my jeans, not my actual crotch!) poking in at the bottom. A little post-Christmas treat for you there:

I'm yet to watch either of these, but I definitely am looking forward to it:

I saw - and loved - Moon in the cinema early this year and have always wanted to watch Twelve Monkeys:

Last but not least, the greatest sitcom off all-time side by side with the only two games I got this Christmas. My brother was meant to get me the latest Ratchet & Clank game but got me a (admittedly rather nice) jacket instead. The bastard!

Hectic December so I'm a bit late with this (some of it was at the very end of November):

Some more stuff for Christmas but need to get around to picture taking.


But the most important pickup was non-gaming:

[Loxley]

Amongst the bunch of DVDs and books I received, the thing that I' most excited about:



Intuos4 Large Pen Tablet; the thing is sexy as hell Quite a nice upgrade from my mom's seven year old (and tiny) hand-me-down WACOM. Finally I can draw with my entire arm and not my friggin' wrist.

I've had an intuos3 for ages and since the damn things are nearly indestructable I can't get an excuse to get a new model anytime soon. But damn that looks slick, great pick-up!

 

[iamaustrian]

to the people with pics taking problems:
use the makro function of your cam. it's for super close ups and every digicam has it.
you will be surprised

$5 games

Damn, $5 each!? I've been meaning to pick up Valkyria Chronicles and Disgaea 3 and really wouldn't mind throwing them into my backlog if they were 5 bucks each.

My recent pick-ups/gifts in the last week:

Water Life. Blu-Ray box set. $19.99.
This is the lowest I've seen this set at Amazon. When it was first released, I was kicking myself for not picking it up at $41. In the past few weeks, the price would fluctuate anywhere from $49-$71. One day, I was randomly checking my wish list (as I always do) and noticed it dropped to $19.99. I'm not sure if it was part of a Christmas sale but I immediately placed the order. Unfortunately, it's not that great. I started up the first few episodes (they're in increments of half-hour segments) of Water's Journey and it just didn't impress me. Some shots/scenes are very detailed while others looked like they were recycled from older footage. The inconsistent quality in image and the erratic narration/awkward audio transitions make this doc difficult to enjoy. If the first disc I watched is any indication, I'm glad I only payed $20 for it. And no, it's not even comparable to Planet Earth or any of the BBC's nature docs.

Apple Remote. Apple. Free/Gift.
Got this from my secret santa coworker. It was quite funny when my other coworkers asked me what it was. "WHY DO YOU NEED A REMOTE TO CONTROL YOUR IPHONE?!" I explained to them that it was for my Macbook/Apple TV and everything is right in the world again. I'm going to sync this aluminum remote with my Apple TV whereas my old white remote will be synced with my Macbook.

Starbucks Gift Card. Amount: Unknown. Free/Gift.
From my auntie. She didn't write the amount down and instead, wrote "guess!". I'm hoping it's at least 15 bucks. That way, when I'm out with my friends, I don't yell out "drinks on me" only to have to pay the difference.
Givenchy Play. 3.3 fl oz Cologne. Free/Gift.
From my special lady friend. I really love the subtle smell this cologne gives off. I think I actually like it more than the Armani Code that I just bought for myself recently. She also got me a pimpin' red robe and a skinny black tie (both are not pictured).

Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers Dino Megazord. Free/Gift.
Quick and dirty picture. From my brother. When we were young, we've always wanted this but our parents would never buy it for us. Or rather, we would always pick something else when our birthdays/Christmas would come around. One year, I would pick a model naval battleship; another year I would get Karate Fighters (remember those?) and another a Super NES. For some reason, the Dino Megazord would always elude our wants due to other toys catching our interest. A decade and a half have gone by and now I'm 23. With no interest in the Power Rangers franchise or action figures/toys, this little package brought out some great childhood memories. Even if I'm not going to do anything with it, it's easily my favorite gift this season.

 

[oblo]

I just felt like buying something today, probably because I had to work, oh well.

Also bought Professor Layton en de Doos van Pandora (Dutch version) for my parents last week, hope they play together, my mom should like the story but she'll need my dad for the puzzles.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Sorry for the blurry iPhone photos. First off, an Aaron Rodgers bobblehead I received from a Secret Santa exchange.

Then I went nuts on my PSP Go this month. Really loving this thing.

Mad Men S1 and S2 on Blu Ray. Halfway through the first season now, and it is VERY engrossing.

And finally, my authentic Aaron Rodgers jersey. GO PACK!

So awesome. Always wanted one of those when I was a kid too. I did end up getting the slightly cheaper version, it wasn't quite as intricate only the legs came off still had fun with it though. Very cool gift.

 

[Ettie]

I've finally got an HD console. \o/

Things that are hard to make out:

GS Giftcard, 25$
8GB PQI Flash Drive
Untold Legends: The Warriors Code (PSP)
Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles (PSP)

 

[charmed699]

Sorry about the dark photos but I took them tonight after coming back from work.

I got Mushihimesama futari ver 1.5 due to you guys mentioning it on the topic earlier on. It got me curious so I checked a video on youtube and that made it a priority to buy straight away.

Some games I got for free at work:
Sonic Rivals 2
Evolution
Stupid Invaders

Kirby Super Star Ultra
Mario and Luigi RPG Soundtrack Collection
Best of Crush 40

New WD 320gb external hard drive which my PC won't recognise for some reason so I cant back up data.

 

[sam27368]

is this game any good?

It's very good, although when you lose a life it costs you a FORTUNE to restart the level.

 

[neojubei]

20 bucks at bestbuy, cannot beat that

 

[comedy bomb]

New WD 320gb external hard drive which my PC won't recognise for some reason so I cant back up data.

Use it for your wii.

 

[Beq]

New WD 320gb external hard drive which my PC won't recognise for some reason so I cant back up data.

Assuming you are using windows...

Windows key + R

Then type in diskmgmt.msc

your hard drive will show up there, make sure it is the external one (the one you need to format to FAT32 or NTFS). And you should be good to go.

 

[ibu]

20 bucks at bestbuy, cannot beat that

I am still yet to play this game... fullstop. I have had it a year as well.

 

[SlickVic]

My Asus G51 was by far my favorite pickup this year. Of course buying all the PC games I did this year certainly helped with that.

 

[cjdunn]

Yet another very end of the month image dump:

Amazon sale

Prescription sunglasses for $75

Amazon BBC sale

Another pair of Rockports

Fight Night 4 used for $15 from GameFly (hat tip to CAG)

LumaLoop a different kind of camera snap. Pricey @ $60 but better than the standard neck strap.

Finally!

I didn't get anything post-worthy for Christmas, except for an Amazon gift card.

Just found these at a local convenience store! I'm in SE Pennsylvania if anyone else is looking. They had Pepsi Throwback as well, also with the old school label. The Dr. Pepper is WONDERFUL!
