Well Friday last week a Sony Vita truck arrived at my office with a load of Vita's to play around with. There was also a competition to win a Vita if you scored the fastest lap on Wipeout 2048. I came 1st. 
I also won a trophy for winning too:
Now I just have to wait for Sony to give me a call and post me a Vita, can't wait!

Got myself a new amp and the Collector's Edition of FFXIII-2:
Also had the opportunity to get some stuff signed after an Interview with Hironobu Sakaguchi:
Oh, and the shipment from Vault 101 arrived. Regular Nuka-Cola tastes quite good, Quantum-Cola is awful.

Oh man, pristine copies of FFVII, Xenogears, and Chrono Trigger (they're in my top 5 JRPGS). Great stuff, Chaz.

First time posting in this thread, been following it for a couple of years now and I have to say, you guys make me all jelly inside, anyways:
Already owned Resistance 3 (excellent game) and Zelda, was just trying to compare the cartridges. Man, vita games are small <3 now we wait.

Nah, it's not sealed. I bought it used back in the day, it's not in pristine condition, but it has served me well nonetheless. CT and FF7 are autographed by Sakaguchi and Kitase btw., hope that one day I'll run into Mitsuda and / or Uematsu to "complete" them.

Man, Uematsu's signature is the one that's missing for me. Unfortunately we can't trade sigs like those Panini-stickers with the soccer-players on them.

Today is a great day. I finally got my driving license, so now I can think in to get some mony to buy a car
. Finally!!!3DS Tekken
Capcom prints for some project ^^.
Catherine regular edition (I don't want to unbox special edition but I want to play this game),
Soul Calibur V
Paranormal Activity 3 BD.
all the things that i cant get in my country i got them here in the shopping wonderland that is the US of A.
Videogames New York still had them, gonna change the stick and buttons to seimitsu so i can play shmups.
Never bought any guides before but my mom told me to buy books before i left so might as well start by buying something im gonna read. its a shame bayonetta doesnt have one
Games, Blazblue CS Extend is missing since amazon hasn't delivered it yet. Espgaluda II <3
Definitely one of my favorite pick ups.
This bad boy was looking at me at the Nintendo store in NYC couldnt resist and i took him home.
and the Pièce de résistance #197 First 4 Figures Darunia. he was just too tempting. Also wouldve taken the link and midna one but i would have no idea on packing it.
Funny story about darunia, it was my last day at NYC and i had to take a plane to DC, problem was i took the huge darunia box with me as carry on, unlucky for me it didnt fit the standard size of carry on so they were going to charge me 150 usd for an extra bag, i literally begged american airlines and TSA to let me pass it as carry on and thankfully they did, now returning to my country is going to be kinda tough.
me trying to fit everything in one bag.

This time, a more major pickup:
Nubert NuVero 4 High-End Monitors
.........
Top and back-views:
Well, they are rather large for compacts, as full-range 2-way speakers go:
So, how do they sound?? As good as 1100 for a pair can get. Actually, about as good as a passive compact can get. I mean it, this is current end of the line performance for any price.
Top end is about as resolved as a ribbon without any of the ribbon sound, and the radiation characteristic is top notch when you compare horns and ribbons. I still slap my face when Dynaudio dealers insinuated that an Esotar-2 tweeter is just not feasable in a 2500 compact pair. Fuck you, this box has a better silk dome and costs less than half.
Mids are crisp and clean, if not partucularly lush, liquid or transparent but as good as 2-way can get. And that's still veeeery good.
Bass is pretty good from the get go and in a small to medium rooms, if the recording has the right kind of bass, the room will shake. It's no hindrance that Nubert also offers this little Gizmo:
The ATM (Active Tuning Module) extends and linearises the bass response of the chassis down to 40Hz (-3dB). While that's not subwoofer levels, any music besides "I love my subwoofer" tracks will sound deep and tout. Also features two knobs for bass/mid-high manipulation but instead of the normal plateau characteristic you have slopes which means the tonal characteristic of the music does not change when used. Rather, it simply makes highs more brilliant or gentle and makes the bass stronger or weaker. Great for tuning it to your room so small rooms don't get overwhelmed or large rooms don't feel starved. If I want a recording to actually sound darker, well, the Marantz amp still has the classic tone controls to add to this.
Oh yeah, and contrary to the usual mediocre tech used in tone-controls, this one doesn't influence spatial resolution one bit. Thanks for taking this serious, Mister Nubert.
All in all, if you are in the market for high-class compact speakers and don't want or can't place a sub, this is the top candidate. No questions, no contest. Also comes with a hassle-free 4-week return policy. Jaja, die Schwaben
Finally, the end of my quest for an actually awesome sounding compact 2-way. *sigh of relieve*
I can't reconcile the incomprehensibly advanced text with the fact that you put the speakers on piles of books.

Bayonetta does have one, even a limited edition one, but they may be sold out.

I don't think I posted Amalur yet, but I got that last week (very disappointing game tbh) and I got the MI set just for collector's purposes.
I also bought Double Fine Happy Action Theatre on XBLA just now.

Holy effin' shit, that's amazing! It's worth like a bajillion bucks or something right? (guesstimate).
It was worth every penny. Being a Earthbound fan knows no financial limits.
And no, Escargo Express did not ship it even though it came in a EE box.

Your front cover of UMVC3 is way better than the japanese one i have.
should i feel bad to say i got the 3DS for 139 brand new?
seems like a good deal
They sell for $149 with your choice of Mario Kart or Mario 3DS here in Canada =)

Target advice: always check at register, their price tags are always wrong.
Great piece. And a great photo of it
Thanks kindly!
I'm surprised by how heavy the watch actually is. It'll take some time to get used to it!
