People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Crappy phone pic but just recently picked these up:

Assassin's Creed 2 - I like this game so much. I thought I wouldn't like it but I was wrong.
Silent Hill Shattered Memories - Have to try it out more, it's freaky because of too much running.

I have a feeling this will go down as my favorite and most important pick-up of 2010. Not only do I enjoy how easy and impulsive buying books through the device is, but it has re-ignited my love for reading. I was worried that I would regret ordering it just days before the iPad announcement, but now I'm only more confident with my decision.

I got one last month and pretty much share your same sentiments. I already blazed through one long book already.

I just got a DX as well (mainly for studying with my Cisco Press PDF's). I love it, don't regret the pick-up for a second in light of the iPad announcement.

Picked those up end of January, along with Assassin's Creed 2. Really liking Tatsunoko and the Fallout 3 DLC (while buggy) is a blast.

I've been without a "everyday watch" since my old Seiko got its glass smashed in. I have a nice watch with a leather bracelet but thats not something I can wear to work.

I found this nice little Seiko Automatic (actually I wanted a different model but they didn't have that one in stock, and the delivery time for that was a bit much).

Its a all mechanical watch from what I understand, it rewinds itself by wrist movement, however I wonder how long that lasts. If I put it on the table when I go to sleep will it have lost all energy? We'll see tonight/tomorrow. :p

I hope Onkel approves. :D

The back-side is see through, so you can watch all the little parts move.

Some reading material, yes I know.. Dan Brown :p In my defense I have only read The Da Vinci Code before. (The lost symbol and Zodiac arrived today, the others a few days ago, I have Hollywood Crows incoming soon)

also is installing the DVD essential to setting up the N adapter?

:(

Nice pickup!

The Power Reserve on the Seiko 7S26 Movements is around 30-40 hours, so once the watch is wound to full, it should run for about 30 hours without getting moved before it stops. putting it off overnight shouldn't do no harm.

here is a great writeup on the Movement, which is considered an all time classic among watch afficionados:

Sick watch. I got a watch that winds via wrist movement as well. I usually shake it for a minute or 2 every morning and I've never had issues with it.
What model was that watch? I'm in need of a new watch.

Awesome! I am really jealous, how much did you get it for?
Click to expand...

I got it for $80 which is reasonable compared to the $100-150 it goes for online. I really want the strategy guide, but that's even tougher to find than the game. Of course this means I have to hold off a bit on some other games I'd like, but EB is definitely worth it.

Got the SNES off Craigslist for $50 with Zelda, SMW, Starfox, F-Zero, and Mega Man X (all in boxes w/manuals and maps except for SMW)

I'm just a Junior as well, but I think its 'proper' to not quote an entire wall of images and instead break the tags of irrelevant images and only show the one you are referring to, if any at all.

Earthbound is so worth it especially in comparison with some modern drivel like Army of two! I got mine off of a CAG for $65 about 6 months ago in great shape and have enjoyed every minute of it. Alas the guide and Mother 3 for GBA are the last pieces of my EB puzzle lol.

I got Mother 3 complete about 2 years ago at The Exchange in Pittsburgh. Printed out the whole translation from GFAQs and played through the whole game (luckily I used the college's printers!)

One of my favorites of all time. I need to buy the M3 guide from Starmen.net b/c it looks fantastic.

why would you ruin the controller with those shit sticks?

youre supposed to replace the d-pad....not the sticks

Shit sticks? I won't even reply to you.

What don't you like about the default sticks?
Click to expand...

They were chewed off the controller by the dog in the picture.

Saw those on the net and figured being I play PS3 and 360 why not get some sticks like the PS3's.

Also..... I own around 10 controllers..... so it's not like i have to stick to that one controller.

Ah, makes sense. I wasn't criticizing you in any way, but was genuinely curious as to what your thoughts were. :lol @ the dog being in the picture now that I know the story!

i have a seiko watch thats powered the same way. If you leave it for like 3 days without wearing or shaking it, it will stop ticking and you will have to manually correct it, but if you wear it all day or just for a few hours and take it off, it will be good to go the next day.

Nice, I just got an "everyday watch" that's a Seiko as well. I think they are pretty damn nice and reasonably priced. Mine was $200 and was on sale for the day and I had gift cards so I picked mine up for only $75. Mine's pretty similar to your front, but it's a black face and a little less "casual" (not sure if that's the right term, but that's what I'm using). Definitely like it though!

I wholeheartedly agree and confirm the greatness of Amazon Kindle. Easily the best purchase I had done (March 2009) in a very long time, and I don't think any purchase will outdone it. It's the most used device in my house, and I grab it everywhere whether it's work or even for traveling; I took it with me while going to both Dubai and UK. Simply perfect. It's so damn funny when people think of the iPad as a "superior Kindle" when it just sucks as a reading device IMO (I will get it day one, probably, so no I'm not in the hate-wagon). E-ink or bust, baby. Anyway, congrats fellow bookworm!

I'm sick of GAF's usual hentai and moe figures. So sick. Glaze at the best figure you will ever see!

Some Poke-love &#9829; I'm back to TCG after 4 years of absence. I still have a soft spot for holo cards &#9829; Hate reverse holo, though. Got cool cards from the box (Rayquaza C, Rayquaza C LV.X, Garchomp C LV.X, the holo-rare Articuno and Moltres that outnumbers the expansion; 148/147 and 149/147! And maaaany more)
