Kuro Plasma TV, 7.1 Reciever, 7 speakers, 1 subwoofer, and a new white Dual Shock 3. I got a few other stuff too...will post later.

EDIT: I bought these for my parents, I'm currently at my parent's house in the States so I figure I'd treat them to a late Christmas gift. XD

Game related merchandise I picked up recently (the patriotic snapshot in the background is from a US vacation a few years ago; it was the only shelfspace I had to group them together for a photo):

Where did you get that Patapon? I've been looking for any Patapon related merchandise but found only a shirt (which I bought :D , I'll upload the pics later).

The Valkyria figure is excellent too, I found it on E-bay but it's a bit expensive.

So how was the reception on the sticks?

I must know!

They didn't have a lot of them on the floor, but that being said, the overall reception on the sticks was pretty positive.

I must admit though, when I first went to try it, I think I spent like 5 minutes trying to find the 'Start' button. :lol But other than that, me wants really badly right now. :D

Not really a GET!, but more like I got a pair of wire cutters and went on a LED rampage in the Antec.

Tales of Eternia stole my time. Amazing game, amizing graphic and amizing soundtrack.
Finally also Millenium Actress came to Italy, after 6 years!

I played it just two times and I found it very enjoyable. Half arcade, half simulation, is a great racing game.

Got back from Japan...picked up quite a bit of stuff to keep me occupied until my next winter visit to the family over there...

Bought the stick last year, but finally picked it up in dec/jan. Customs destroyed the box, though...so fucking pissed about that. Picked up ToV for dirt cheap, used

Went to Comic Market 75 to pick up the music CD's by Shikata Akiko (vocalist for Ar Tonelico I/II) has an amazing voice and is extremely talented :)

Lots of manga (120+, some not pictured here) both used and new...ran on average around 250yen per volume...some as low as 105yen (~$1USD) though Hidamari Sketch ran pretty high at 850yen+/volume :(

Oh man, I need that fricking book.

Not that I want to put you off, but I was a little disappointed in amount of time spent on the classic adventure games. Star Wars and Indy makes up almost half of the book, whereas I would have much preferred more interviews/stories/art/images from the adventure games and nothing else.

I've yet to really delve into the Star Wars stuff, but it covers everything from X-Wing to ObiWan to Force Unleashed.

I'm sure I'll get value out of the X-Wing/Tie Fighter stuff, but yeah...

Thats a shame, I don't even like Star Wars :(

Ah well, I'll wait for the price to come down then!

I got a Wavebird and Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn today. I was only planning to get the Wavebird, but I saw Fire Emblem on the shelf for just $10. That was too good of a deal to pass up.

Is this magazine worthy of replacing my EGM subscription? I've done a little research and it's quarterly now, which kind of sucks. But I dunno. It's between this and game informer.

it's a good magazine, but it's a lot more cute than serious so it definitely isnt EGM.

u can download all the issues on PDF file on their website tho, if u wanted to preview.

I was always under the impression you lived in Japan.

Depends on the company I work for. Current company doesn't have plans to expand to Japan so I'm only spending a month in Spring and Winter each atm.

Previous company I worked for had me there for about half of the year and the other half in the US.
 
Cosmic Bus, love that tie and vest!

Anyway, here's my pick-ups for the month.

The Orange Box, Ratchet and Clank Future: Tools of Destruction, Ninja Five-O, Super Puzzle Fighter II, Ninja Gaiden: Dragon Sword, Game & Watch Collection from Club Nintendo

Yoshichan

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
