Some of this is from December. Sorry for the crappy pics. Post Christmas sales were kind to me.

I only ordered one of these, but a second one showed up a couple days after the first:

So, the PC I built last year finally has a desk worthy of its sexiness!

Things missing: Sound card, decent speaks, a studio light (think Pixar logo) and an amp/stand for my headphones. Then it'll be perfect!

You should keep your desk that empty all the time (plus the lamp and headphones). It looks really nice and clean. Is your pc actually plugged in or are you hiding the cables with hollywood photo magic?

I plan on keeping it spotless. And yes, the computer is plugged in... look at the monitor! The desk came with something to hit the cables in. I need a few more twisty-ties but ventilation and neatness are at their maximum right here =)

I noticed multiple people got Arcana Heart 3, how is it?? I am very tempted to import that sometime next month.


I so want that ducktales 2! I love the first, and have been trying to find the second one for my collection. I don't buy online too often cuz I try to find good deals.

PS2 External 40 GB Harddrive - $5

That's nuts for that price. I remember wanting one like crazy before FFXI came out in the states. I always thought the external drive just looked cool too.

Why does japan always get the kick-ass box art!? :(

I enjoy looking at the stuff people here pick up on this thread. It helps me find out about some cool stuff I don't normally know about.

Anyway this is what I've gotten this month so far, I don't think I'll be getting anything else since I'm broke now lol

This was kind of a clever idea on my part I think. I picked up the fighting stick earlier in the month, then I saw best buy selling these old DJ hero case/stands for $5, and it's perfect for a fight stick. Very stable

After years of wanting one, I finally got a smart phone. Droid incredible, not a bad phone, and I love having GB on the go :) Although, I'm depressed because right after I got it, I found out verizon is getting iPhone soon...

Few digital games, Mass Effect 2, Pac-Man CE DX, Tetris this month

000_0006-1.jpg

Here's all the other gaming stuff I've picked up this month.

I saw footage and other info about Ghost Trick, and I just had to get it. I had a craving to play some Pokemon bad too.

Found the dreamcast fighting stick, and I got so many fighting games on the system, that I couldn't pass it up.

I was so stoked when I found Persona for PS1 for only $20 though.

Both suikoden games were a discount through my work.

Not too crazy about DC universe, but at least it's better than Champions Online.

Rest of the games were just good deals that I wanted to try, I haven't had a chance to play them yet.

Not the only other pick-up I got from IKEA either. Just put the finishing touches to a sorely needed new wardrobe. My walk-in wasn't much to write home about.

I used to have something like that, but never really felt like I needed it. Simplicity is the key this time around!

Gears 2 - eBay. Catching up before Gears 3 comes out in the fall.
Mad Men Season 2 - Amazon. Liked the first season so much that I decided to get this as soon as I finished it.

Just got around to buying Life. + Picked up a second Ordinator so I wouldn't have to open my Morrowind box. Gamestop had AR w/ artbook for $40 recently and I got the other 3 in Amazon's B2G1 + $40 credit.

Capcom bundle + 999 & Watch bundle x2. Sold my first watch, waiting for the second bundle to get here.

Amazing thrift store pickup. The best I've seen at my local thrift stores was an Xbox 1, but they wanted $50 for it. :/
 
Few pick ups:

Got a free 360, and decided to pick up some games..
CE Death smiles, fable 3, fallout and dead raising..

2011-01-23161512.jpg



Been playing on ps3 so this concept of paying for online is new to me. Until I get a worth while game i'm just using these for fable achievements.

and some stuff for other systems:

Dude, you cant post that without saying a little bit about it! Is it radio controlled? Is it fan made or is it an actual product?
I can't stop thinking of the foreman unenthusiastically saying "is everybody ready?" before the morning races.

Hey sorry 'bout that. It's actually not fanmade. It's a fully licensed promo item. It was given away by Sega as prizes to a few lucky fans. They made 1,000 of these. This one is number 3.

Here's a link for some more details:

A little late (he came on Dec 2), but adopted him from Labs4Rescue. He made the trip from Texas to Massachusetts. he was found on the street with a chewed through clothes line around his neck.

Named him Marty (after Back to the Future) 8 months old and in full puppy mode.

I went right to eBay after I saw this and bought a set.

You're welcome.

They're more awesome in person too. Mine came with two jolly ranchers and an extra, blue star cap (not pictured).

Lol, what an odd thing to throw in there. I hope I get a blue star cap though.
