Finally took the plunge! Can't wait to get it all installed.
 
Was it on clearance/sale at your local Sears or something tag still shows 40 bucks? Just got a 3DS and would totally pick up Star Fox at 22 bucks. Shame we don't have boxing day stuff down in the south.

Sears in Canada has HALF-PRICE off all video games until December 31st. I assume they are clearing out their stock.

Got some games that are not out in Europe(Catherine/Otomedius Excellent), Kirby Mass Attack and a 3DS charger so I can play it while I am in Montreal. Also bought Sonic CD/Street Fighter 3rd Strike on Xbox Marketplace and Sonic Generations/Zuma Deluxe(gift) on Steam.

Loving Saints Row so much thank goodness the Bombcast exists. Pretty happy with the 3DS I had a DS Lite prior so it's a pretty big jump in Nintendo technology for me.

The bound book my cousin knows I like character design she had bound a collection of gengas from Macross Frontier. It's a average series but I loved the character design.

Wow, should be a beast of a system!

I imagine you're keeping the 5970 from a previous build? Any desire to upgrade that, too?

Gah, I don't know if I'll be able to resist upgrading my i7 930/GTX570 build this year...

I'm actually thinking of upgrading to whatever Nvidia releses next which I think is the 780.
Might also get Ivy Bridge from a friend in Intel.

Last pickups of 2011. Gundam Extreme is on its way, but there's no way it makes it before January. Probably next week, if YesAsia's still performing as well as they have.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
I just got like 12 new games to throw in my backlog on Christmas. But with the recent sales at Gamestop, I just had to do my part to support developers and "unique" games, and purchased Rayman Origins and El Shaddai. I know both of them will be cheaper before I get to them, but the developers deserve at least something.

Rayman better be decent, GAF! I'm trusting you ;) ... Also not sure which version of Call of Duty to keep. Might keep them both, but I'm leaning toward returning one. Tell me, keep the X360 version or PC version?

Also grabbed a pair of Calvin Kline jeans on my way to see the flick New Year's Eve with the family.

None of my closest friends have either, unfortunately. So which community is better for just "dropping in" with? I'd imagine both are pretty bad, lol. I typically prefer PC to X360... just about 90% of the time. But for CoD, I play so casually and for just an hour or so a week, I don't care too much. I'd rather just have fun in short bursts, regardless of platform.

If I was u I would play the xbox 360 version cause If u don't like it u can still return it and with the pc version u can't after u redeem the code on steam.

Didn't even think of that. I don't trade in too often nowadays, but it's a good thing to have just in case.

Thanks!

Pretty good month. Got some games from some Black Friday deals and some gear for winter.

DSCN0862.jpg

Christmas haul was pretty good. Always Sunny, Boondocks, some cologne, and an iPod mount for the car.
 
To make this short, I've won like 8,000$ of gaming gear and electronics and I haven't gone through the stuff yet (save for a few things I've given away for christmas). Thing is, I went on TV and everything and I've been openly bashed on facebook and twitter for being a bad winner or something and I wouldn't want it to happen again here if people recognize the stuff I've won on that show.

Should I take pics and all? I don't see the point of doing it for myself unless there'd be interest in seeing some of stuff I got.

I'm curious about everything now. Why were you bashed? How is someone a bad winner?

Basically, they call the winner and they announce it live on TV. That day, I had college exams and when I got home, I took a nap since I was tired and suffering from a pretty bad headache. They called me about 30 minutes later and woke me up in the process and I was told that I won third place but they couldn't reach the other 2 winners so I won first prize by default.

I had a shitty winning reaction, I'll admit but it completely took me by surprise and I could only blabber incomprehensible stuff and I got cut off the line before I could even thank them. Cue facebook bashing.

Fuck those people. It sounds like a misunderstanding. Good luck fending them off and that it blows over sooner, rather than later.

Post some stuff for me. I want to see <3

I had to record a segment when I went to the TV station to pickup my prize and people are starting to recognize me when I'm at work or at the grocery store. It's kind of weird.

I don't think I can take pics and upload them until the start of next year though.

Wow. Fuck those haters. You were tired as hell and they're judging you for that? Glad to know all those people are peppy 100% of the time.
