Cool, glad you enjoyed it, keep an eye out for Venum's free workshop, too, he has them once a month. Look up "free 2b free". I've been friends with Skill Methodz for years before they moved out there, they're all dope!

Nice. I really need to pick up the Patlabor blus. Shame they never came to the US, but alas.
I bought the HK BDs because I gotta make budget cuts somewhere. (planning to pick up the GITS2 Innocence Absolute Edition from Japan and maybe a Ghibli movie I like or something to make the shipping costs less painful which is gonna run me $toomuch)

I am 87% (somewhat real accurate estimation!) sure that these are just ports of the JP BDs with the extras and extraneous audio tracks stripped to fit on BD25, as the JP BDs are BD50s but only 26.7GB (P1)/28.5GB (P2) each. Hong Kong distributors do this sort of thing all the time for BDs and DVDs, and Panorama (the HK distro who did the Patlabor movies) has done it for like every release of theirs I can find info on.

Regardless of that, they do look pretty excellent and have (proper, not Engrish) English subs, and lossless Japanese audio. No English dub if that's your thing though.

I should be able to confirm if they're ports of the JP BDs or not in a day or so if you want me to PM you the info. Better to spend $25 per movie than ~$100! :>

Note that the third movie doesn't have subs.

A lot of HK discs have subs too, so I recommend checking those out (research don't blind buy!) whenever you can. Like, the Ghibli HK BDs (from IVL, HK branch of Disney/Kadokawa or something) have the same real English subs as the JP/US releases (no Eng dub though, so avoid if you're a fan of the Disney dub. also the HK release of Nausicaa has subs with messed up punctuation, avoid) and the non-shitty coverarts (pretty much just the amazing JP covers with what I guess is Chinese characters + small English translation. example) to boot. I'm going to order some of those next. Aside from Ponyo and Nausicaa, I'm lead to believe that IVL just ports the JP release as well, so no worries about video quality + they all have lossless Japanese audio. They use BD50s for all their Ghibli titles. They come out only a few months after the JP releases, compared to the... years it takes for Disney to release shit here, so that's something to consider if you don't want to drop $90 per title on the JP releases and don't want to wait forever.

First time posting my own pickup. Fundam lives up to its name. The two keyrings are from JJBA, they look pretty awesome up close.
 
How is it on PC? Did you get a chance to play it on the consoles for a comparison?
Finished it already on the 360. Didn't have the chance to play it yet on the PC. but, judging from the reviews and the impressions, It's better than the console version tech-wise and content-wise for a good reasonable price point, obviously.

PC version is way better than the 360 version in every single way,it's really a great port,however the actually game is still boring and repetitive as hell.

demons crest and knights of the round!

My brother had a Sega Megadrive, and I was a PC gamer only until the PS2 came out so never really knew much about the SNES or any of the games. Got Super Metroid and some Zelda carts kicking around as well which I picked up for free.

Spent many hours watching others complete Starfox, and I did have a job interview with Rare just after Donkey Kong Country came out. I was more excited about going to Rare due to their Ultimate Play the Game history than any of their more recent stuff, and I think it showed, but what can you do except geek out when they have the Golden Key of ACG in their reception area, next to an Alien 8 model and a 6ft wide Ultimate banner over the fireplace!

Now I don't know what to play first!

And if anyone care.

Lapboard is actually deliver,the design it self is great, give you more space for your mouse and the Keyboard can be at any angle, really very comfortable to play on your comfy couch with this thing,it's better than any lapdisck or any other solution really.

It's not bluetooth but the range is good ( this is the new and improved version, model 9000 older versions were crap iirc) However, its mouse is complete and utter garbage, if you want it better use your own wireless mouse (I however use the weird G400 since I can't play without her).

Got all of these fairly cheap by taking advantage of coupons/online sales.


1202-Games1.jpg

Blood Drive and El Shaddai were dirt cheap on NewEgg and Rayman was $20 @ Gamestop.
After searching high and low, I finally found a copy of Rock Band 3 at FYE of all places.
I got the BlazBlue LE for $40 thanks to an Amazon pre-order and I FINALLY tracked down a copy of Fatal Frame on XBOX! :)


1202-Games3.jpg

Got RE: Revelations with the Circle Pad Pro and free pre-order case at launch.
I finished the game the other day and I loved it! (It makes me wish RE: Mercs had Circle Pad support too!)
Jake Hunter was dirt cheap on Amazon and the 3DS card case is from Club Nintendo.


1202-Games2.jpg

Got Rhythm Heaven at launch and a few classic games for my collection.


1202-Games4.jpg

I got the 3 games in the center (Blaster Master, Battletoads, and Bubble Bobble Part 2) for about $20 thanks to some Half-Price Books coupons and I found the boxed NES games at Goodwill.
