As a junior member, this will be my first pick up post for this threads and what a best way to start this is to post stuff what I got on my birthday (which is yesterday).

Let's start with what I got myself for my birthday

Dragon Quest 6: Realms of Revelation
Professor Layton and the Unwound Future
Metroid Prime Pinball
Final Fantasy the 4 Heros of Light
Hamtaro: Ham-Hams Unite!
Ragnarok DS

Nothing crazy really. Just few more DS games for my collection.

Now, let's go to what I got for my birthday as a gift from my friend

The Final Fantasy Legend
Final Fantasy Legend II
Final Fantasy Legend III
Final Fantasy Adventure Mystic Quest
all....free. Make my birthday much more interesting. Sadly, I don't think I will ever going to play those 4 games as I don't own a GameBoy/Color/or GameBoy Advance handheld. Most likely will wait till I get a Game Boy Player. Wanna play this on a TV screen.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

Defender. It took me 2 years to find a good one!

Asteroids is new too, but it kind of blends (left of Zaxxon).

I am totally jelly of all of this stuff. That must be a business, right?

How is it that Scott Pilgrim isn't available digitally for eReader/iPads? Blows my mind

It is.

Better late to the party then never to the party. I got a huge back log to work on now. Any recommendations?

What type of genre you like to play is maybe a good start to look at.

They're many DS recommendation site on NeoGaf you can search for. If you want a quick but update list, check this site.

Ohhhh yeeeeeah. Only took eight years.

 

[sixteen-bit]

^nice, I'm jealous.

 

[thebeeks]

An nostalgia-induced impulse buy and a 'You've been hunting the damn game for years now, it's never going to get back under $75, you might as well just get it now" buy.

Just out of curiosity why did you choose the DSi Xl over the 3ds? They're similar in price, no?

 

[BannedEpisode]

I cant answer for him, but having owned both I can easily understand someone buying an XL if their primary focus is going to be on DS games. The screen is awesome, and sure you can play DS games on the 3DS but its not comparable in terms of DS gameplay experience.

That would be my guess anyway.

Pretty much an awesome find, but what/why did it take you eight years?

That Hamtaro game is way better than it has any business being.

 

[KariOhki]

Pretty much an awesome find, but what/why did it take you eight years?

Various reasons. Not having the cash, not wanting to spend the cash, then the price jumped up to around $120-130 for the game and I decided to wait to see if it dropped any. Then I just kept putting it off. Finally decided to spring for it since I had some extra money.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Amazon UK finally came through. I had to just give up on a US release, and fortunately this is region free.

I don't know if it's the Metal Gear fan in me, but I love that box art for the MGS: HD Collection.

Excellent documentary. *thumbs up*

 

[Liquid Dust]

Picked up a Canon S95! Thing is an absolute beast as far as point and shoots go. Great manual options too. Highly recommend.

Taken with a crummy phone camera

S95 was great at Superbowl village though!

FYI the evangelists were out in force^

Oooooh... I'm jealous. I just decided I wanted these. They're all the actual Square releases, too... not the Sunsoft reprints.

 

[Cannon Goose]

and mgs hd collection with the nice litte usk logo <3

Ahaha, that is ridiculous!

 

[Danny-Boy]

Ahaha, that is ridiculous!

You think that's bad go check out the aussie ones.

 

[Blablurn]

You think that's bad go check out the aussie ones.

it can get even worse around here :/

 

[dreamfall]

Great midnight release, ridiculous haul. Revelaitons confirmed, and with Twisted/UFC coming this is a crazy month. After this, not much until summer so...

 

[Alastor]

it can get even worse around here :/

Well, GAF makes alternative covers for just this reason.

 

[Cannon Goose]

You think that's bad go check out the aussie ones.

Actually I am from Australia, the ratings on our boxes aren't as large as the one in that photo.

 

[Georgious]

I've been using a regular tablet for a few years now, but the Cintiq feels much more comfortable to use and let's me work a lot faster. I can't really say if it's that much better than a tablet objectively since I don't know all that much about tablets, but personally speaking it certainly feels a lot better.

Seeing everybody and their mothers post Redline pick-ups, I decided to check it out tonight.

Holy shit, what a movie. Un-freakin-believable. Hands down the best anime I've seen in years.

 

[Misterhbk]

I wasn't planning on picking this up at all, but a buddy of mine offered me the whole bundle for 170 after he'd just picked up the 3DS a couple weeks ago. I simply couldn't say no. I'll be picking up Tales of the Abyss the same day I pick up all my Vita stuff now xD

Now all Nintendo needs to do is announce a new Pokemon game for 3DS and I'll be set for handheld gaming all year long.

Long live REAL HANDHELDS! down with ios!

 

[Upsidedown Fuji]

Ohhhh yeeeeeah. Only took eight years.

Whatever you paid for that copy of Rayearth, it was worth it. Its one of the best things that came out of WD. Enjoy!

Aussie here too, yeah they're not as big as the USK ones...although they're just as bad.

Amazing buys!

Tell me, is that Zavvi MGS: CE? LOTS of people complain that it came damaged and broken and that it's not a real steelbook? would be shame for that price...

Also, loving the FF XIII-2 stuff. I haven't even played FFXIII... yet...

Earthbound! Brilliant.

I'm very glad I got my MGS HD Collection from Play Asia.

Though I will be replacing that cover with the colourful Limited Edition one soon.

 

[nny]

Nice! Welcome to the browncoats! Now the next step is the movie "Serenity".

and mgs hd collection with the nice litte usk logo <3

You got MGS3: SE, MGS: PW... and what is that first one? Can't seem to identify under that GIANT USK logo. God, I hate it sooo much!

The latest Ascension expansion was finally released so I went and picked it up

I've only played two games, a two player and four player game. The expansion adds some interesting new cards, but I think it feels a bit lacking on its own. There seems to be a much smaller amount of "draw a card" or "banish a card" cards, so you end up with Militia and Apprentices sitting in your deck longer than you really want them to.
I haven't done it yet, but I think combining it with the first expansion, "Return of the Fallen", would make for a very fun game.

Here's a picture of the game set up, just two players. You can see the new game board along with the new always-available monster, the Fanatic and the new Event cards in effect on the opposite side of the board. The quality is a little low, but you might be able to make out the new Mystic and Heavy Infantry art. There is also new art for the Apprentice and Militia, which I appreciate. It's a nice touch.

Also, latest Edge. Love this months cover, very classy. I've only read the guest columns and the article on Mojang so far.

And I picked up the Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign book for the Call of Cthulhu RPG. Started running it for my game group and we're about two sessions in. First session was great, the second a bit lackluster as they stumbled around following the wrong leads. I look forward to getting really stuck into it. Also pictured is the 30th Anniversary hardcover edition of the core rulebook. I've had this for a while, but I thought Gaf might appreciate it. It's gorgeous.

 

[StayDead]

My copy of PhotoKano for PSP came today.

(First release bonuses)

(Back cover/Game's heroins)

^^

 

[FL4TW4V3]

Last month's Edge (it's always late around here)
Latest GamesTM (the best alternative to Edge, at least in Europe)
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (as always, LTTP but got it real cheap)
2xNeed For Speed: Hot Pursuit (I ordered a copy for a friend and jumped in myself)
Edit: Forgot Logicomix (great graphic novel about scientists' search for the truth)

Is that case one that goes onto your belt buckle? Where did you get it? I need one of those but not in that color.

 

[Misterhbk]

No it doesn't hook onto a belt buckle or anything. It's just a normal case. I'm pretty sure it can from GameStop. But having a 3DS hooked to your belt sounds kinda heavy.

Eww, old Saturn pad. Stuff that sucker down the garbage disposal first chance you get. Otherwise nice job. It's great to have the Saturn backlog to fall back on in tough times. I've been rocking Shining Force 3 myself lately.

 

[tanooki141]

The new album by The Fray off iTunes.

VVVVVV on the eShop. Great but short game.

Another awesome eShop game.

Reprinted covers and new cases for Wii games w/o real covers and movies that were floating around the house w/o cases.

Blurays, the ones w/o real covers were from a Blockbuster closing sale.

Last Zelda guide I needed...

(I love these old guides.)

...to complete the collection.

 

[evilive7]

Largest. Pictures. Ever.
