That sounds like a fantastic show. I wish I was closer to Toronto.

Also I am a firm believer that Loveless always sounds the best on vinyl (often with a good set of headphones).
I'm a good 3 and a half hour drive from Toronto but considering the 3 headliners are band I REALLY like it's more than worth the drive.

My dad travels a ton for work so we're going the night before and getting a free hotel room since he gets so many Holiday Inn points :D Going to be so sick.

And I'm listening to loveless right now, and it sound excellent on vinyl. :)

Came in from Amazon used. Hoping it's as good as I remember ZOE1 was. :D

It's better in just about every way. Better characters, less repetitive combat, wonderful story, amazing bosses, more subweapons and much more interesting missions. All that and a Gradius-style minigame.

Been playing this off of Gamefly, but I like it a ton and don't want to hold onto the rental for two months (for Awakening). Also Stone Prisoner for 'free'. :lol

I always see people with strategy guides for new games and such. I always figured people only got those when they got stuck :S

Bought it more for the art and such. I'm not a big fan of strategy guides, however I am a big fan of killing trees in the name of needless art I'll forget about in a month.

Ahh gotcha. Like a make shift artbook.

The only strat guides I've got are for Animal crossing just for item lists :lol (had to get something with my NP sub.)

I miss the old strategy guides that Diehard Gamefan used to put out. Particularly the ones for Capcom games. They would always include not only the official artwork but most of the production sketches as well. I still have my Darkstalkers: Jedah's damnation and Street Fighter 3 strategy guides.

awesome!:D :D I don't even like anime that much, ploo is my favorite EVER... and the only set I own. If FLCL is priced right it's a definite buy...

:lol :lol I can't believe ploo's been on Bluray for 2 months. The last time I checked, they said it wasn't coming...

You should def check amazon for that shit bro, all there anime boxsets are like half off, I went all out once I saw that :lol
Yeah I bought it like a minute after. I was amazed at the $38 price tag!:D :D I got lucky with the DVD set, it was 200 and I got it on an off chance for 75...in 07 I would have bought it on BR for 200....:D :D thanks though!

I'm weak, I know that.:D How reliable is this model? No problems so far with ppl who have it?

No problems but be ready to play the Japanese version of some games. Uncharted 2 has no blood and Ratchet has giant eye brows when you play him. :(

i agree with everything except that.

Vanguard Bandits - Might end up returning it because after I left the gamestore and got home I realized it had the Making of Lunar 2 (from L2:EB Complete) instead of the Lunar 2 Demo Disc

Tales of Legendia

Persona 1 Guide - Can't believe I found this... I believe it goes for $50+ on ebay. I got it for $10, but its pretty beat up.

My new Alienware OptX 21.5" Monitor! :D

Very nice. Best gaming monitor. I'll be getting one whenever and if ever I get back into PC gaming.

Double dipped on Cowboy Bebop. I already had the original release, but remastered video, 5.1 audio and the whole thing was as much as one of the original DVDs. So that made it pretty easy.

Rocknrolla, cheap ass bluray ftw.

Glenlivet French Oak Reserve 15 years old, very nice stuff.

Just got back from the Splicers Unite / GameStop Midnight Release Party for BioShock 2. I got some really cool stuff and a special surprise from 2K! All the Developers that attended signed out copies, so they kindly signed my CE! I am so HAPPY! I was the last one to get their copy ( held out for a lone CE since I pre-ordered at a different GameStop; Manager was kind enough to let me purchase the last one available ) signed, so I believe they took more time in talking with me and signing it. <3 So ecstatic! :D

Signed CE:

Sorry for the crap quality! I know my camera sucks. I haven't actually opened the game yet, so maybe inside content pics later. For now, sleep. It was all worth it...
 
Finally, I feel like I've made it. This is one of my favourite thread's on neogaf, seeing all the things I cannot afford.

Here's my entry for the month:

The House of the Dead: Overkill

Tatsunoko vs. Capcom: Ultimate All-Stars and a Classic Controller Pro.
 
So these arrived late last week:

I didn't touch STO since once I activated that the time would be ticking down.


I did however play 28 hours of Mass Effect 2 and got this before I finished:

If your 360 is past it's warranty, it's pretty easy to fix. I fixed mine in about 45 min. Hardest part was taking the damn thing apart (which wasn't all that difficult).

Are those Gamestop stickers on TG16 games?! Did some GS employee take them in as PS1 games or something?
Haha, nah. He didn't have cases for Shockman and Legend of Hero Tonma so he threw the hu cards and manuals into leftover cases that happened to have gamestop stickers on them. Hopefully I can find legit cases for these 2 games sometime in the future.

i think it was a comic con exclusive a few years back - it's numbered to 250. A friend of mine picked it up for me.

Nah cause it's the red ring MS will still repair it for free, it got picked up earlier today.

Doubt I'd ever try and fix it myself, I'd probably rather pay for a repair in that case. Don't have the money to be buying a replacement if something were to go wrong.

Hoping for a quick turnaround. A friend of mine who sent his in not too long ago got it back in 9 days.

Reeeeeeeally need to finish Mass Effect 2, I was mere hours from the end!

I still don't see the appeal of shoe gaze.

You're just not listening to it loud enough. Put on some good headphones, crank it and let it wash over you...

When your brain starts tingling you'll know it works...

I feel so stupid for forgetting to mention what was inside them. I was so tired.

The "Splicers Unite!" wrappers contain a black BioShock 2 t-shirt ( I believe it has the CE box art on the back and a Big Sister head on the front ), a Red Bull and then the one that I opened last night had a paper slip advertising the "Wiiings" Plasmid. It's pretty cool! I heard that the wrappers contained different pieces of paper, but I have yet to confirm it ( only opened one ).
