Someone should amend the rules to include a warning/day ban for quoting a post full of images.

Nothing sucks more than having to scroll past images over and over.

Cool. Haven't had that type of ice cream in a long time.

As for me, since I got back. Stuff I totally bought five years ago. :lol

Hardware- USB Hard drive, Wireless adapter, DS Lite; the best looking one yet with the coolest case Nintendo has ever made. Ram upgrade for lappy.

Merchandise- Hello Kitty stuff. Candy, bags, slippers, etc. Gears of war messenger bag, pretty cool when opened. Has a billion pockets. MGS4 wristbands. Birthstone watch and bracelet. Nintendo and Sorny stuff. Hat, bag, etc.

Gaming- P4, various cards, SFII HD Remix.

Other- Xmas gifts, cards; many not pictured. Money, plushes, and stuff.

 

[distantmantra]

Might as well post these here instead of in the December thread.

Went up to Vancouver, BC over the weekend with the wife. Stopped and got some only-in-Canada foodstuffs before crossing the border back home.

Picked up these books at the Book Off in Vancouver. The hardcover Gundam Officials book was only $50 during their Boxing Day sale. Too bad we don't have one in Seattle.

 

[Levi]

Some nerdy books, since I am a big nerd.

 

[MarkMan]

distantmantra: Awesome stuff!

I love the Macross F OST and that Gundam book is awesome... I love Book Off!

Kadey: Nice! That ice blue DS Lite looks much better in actual pics than in stock images!

Hope you all had a good Christmas !


~Everyday's great at your Junes!

 

[JEKKI]

[Eteric Rice]

My 2-year old 5th gen 80GB iPod died

2009 sucks

Died?...

Maybe it needs a new battery?

 

[Router]

I hate corner box smashage... it's the worst.

Me too. Last thing I got from playasia.com had these little plastic tabs on the corners of the box. They saved it from crushing.

[sixteen-bit]

This game will break your mind. I only played the first level, but I kept fucking up throughout, even though the action on either screen, i.e. time zone, was pretty easy. Navigating both at the same time however is so hard. Or at least it was for me. The base platforming feels really great though.

 

[Kagari]

Some nerdy books, since I am a big nerd.

GRAAAAAHHHH F YOU LUCAS BOOKS!


/rant.

 

[Luthair]

Cheap new camera, but worlds better than what I ever owned!

Gift from my friend, dunno how Im suppose to drink it though

I love this crap!

Been dreaming of having one of these since I was 8

Amazing music, just couldn't stop myself.

 

[Jason]

I finished it about 1 week after I got it (early December). Game is pretty hard, but it's all about memorization in the later stages, since there's no way you can react fast enough on both screens. Bosses do require more improvisation. I though the puzzle parts were pretty cool, although not very fledged out.
It could have been longer (has 5 Areas with 3-4 sections each, for a total of 18, although the back of the box says it has "15 levels" which puzzles me) though -- but I don't want to imagine how tough the extra levels would be :lol.

 

[Dead Prince]

Gah. Seeing pictures of new digital cameras I'm tempted to buy a new one. Last one I bought was 2 years ago. Time for an upgrade me thinks! I should have pictures of stuff being bought tomorrow :lol [Books!! ;P]

 

[lunlunqq]

if it counts...

did not buy it exactly this month, but just a very short while ago.

 

[Carlisle]

Hitachi 50" p50s602 1080p tv.

I did a triple-take. That image looks exactly like my living room at first glance. I think we have identical tv stands, slightly different tvs, though. But same color and placement of the cable box and the whole set up is flanked by large wood shelfy things. Uncanny.

 

[Dacvak]

Hey GAF, can I play?

This is my first Pick-Up Post! thingy guy, and I'm pretty pumped. I can't take pictures of all the stuff I got in the last few days because most of it is at my apartment now, but here's some of the stuff I had back home that I could take pictures of.

Chrono Trigger DS - (Note my awesome custom Red/Black/White DS. =)
Beanie Cap - Nintendo
Sharpie - Green

No More Heroes - LTTP, but so good.
Resident Evil 4 Wii - Quite the upgrade from the GCN ver.
Army Knife - Swiss
(Not shown: Gears of War 2, Okami Wii, Wario Land Shake It! I absolutely love all three so far, especially Wario.)

Viewtiful Joe - Someone jacked my original copy, so it's nice to have it back.
Viewtiful Joe 2 - LTTP: Super excited to play it.

Pen Torch - (Warning: Explosive, flammable, and dangerous)
Fender Electric Guitar Picks - Medium
DIY Pro Rubik's Cube w/ PVC Stickers - Current solving record 26 seconds.
R/C Helicopter - 30 minute rechargeable battery.

Fiendish Japanese Puzzle - Level 6 (Hardest Level). Completion time: 1hr 14min.
Super Basketball LCD Game - $1, Wal-Mart
CO2 Semi-Automatic BB Gun - Pistol, 480 FPS

Unicycle - A first for the Pick-Up Post threads.


What a good week.

 

[ymmv]

The past month was a good month. So many (cheap!) games I haven't yet played FC2, Fallout 3, BiA en MS2 once. I hadn't planned on getting these games so soon but I just couldn't pass all those discounts: 9 games bought, 7 of 'em heavily discounted (Even the two full-price games I got from VG+ were cheap if you compare to the official Dutch retail prices)

 

[neojubei]

I also got some gift cards for Christmas.

[Skenzin]

I'm so in love with AC6.

I want to ask you, for the wireless PS3 keypad, do you need to connect a receiver to the PS3's USB port or does it work on Bluetooth.

 

[D4Danger]

Something to fill the time.

phone camera

 

[Aurelius]

Some last things I got after Christmas:
- New Edge
- Fallout 3 (LOVING IT!)

Not pictured:
- New car battery.

 

[°°ToMmY°°]

I want to ask you, for the wireless PS3 keypad, do you need to connect a receiver to the PS3's USB port or does it work on Bluetooth.

bluetooth. it directly syncs to your ps3 showing battery stats in the top right corner. really cool keypad (although buttons are a bit small for big handed people)

 

[xS1TH L0RDx]

WHERE?!

I've seen it at gamestop several times.

 

[Totobeni]

got more triggers for my Dual Shocks today

 

[QuickSilverGunk]

I'm so in love with AC6.

My friend is going to flip when he sees that "arcade" setup, where did you buy it?

 

[indigo-cyclops]

My first pick-up post:

Love all these games..

Olympus FE-370, really nice camera!

Trans Am - Red Line, GOLDEN - Apollo Star (ex-drummer from Mars Volta) - Trans Am case came cracked...

Sherlock Holmes complete collection...

The newest GPU Gems, really awesome, informative book.

Chris Ware, cartoonist, newest collection of comics called ACME Novelty Library, Vol. 19

And my pocket Arthur Rimbaud collection of poems.

EDIT: Sorry about the broken links. Fixed.

 

[Skenzin]

My wife bought if for me at Best Buy. It was a exclusive bundle for $149.00. The controllers have lots of little buttons on them where your hand grips, Theres a rudder control on the inside of the throttle and even redundant gamepad controls on both. The thing is alot bigger in person. It makes for a great gaming experience. Well worth the price of 3 games. It's the first game in along time that I woke up in the morning and wanted to play, like a kid again.

Also COD:WOW MP is alot better than expected. Maps are larger with more detail than COD4. Glad I bought it. Fallout3 is a bit of a disapointment for me. I just got out of the vault though.
