Haven't tried them yet (at work) but I should be able to try them while commuting home. Judging from the headphone thread in the OT, this should suit my basic needs for powering the M50s. Eventually, I'll probably look into something more heavy duty - both in headphones and amps - but since I mostly use them on the train, these should be more than enough for now.
whooo~!!! Im back from vacation!!!

Having used both Kobo and Kindle I feel that the hardware is pretty much the same. The only real difference is the file formats supported, really. I'm a Kindle App user on iOS, so I went for Kindle, but the actual usability for the two product ranges is close to identical.
My big order from Games for Canada finally came in! =D

Here's one not in the pic I also got this year.
You spurned my gift of love, so I had to give it to somebody else.

My rematched reddit secret santa's gift arrived today. An absolute hero for saving me from the lack of gift from my original santa.
More books, books, books. I love pop science books.
Also, I love this new camera I got. These photos are a zillion times better.

Yep. Live two minutes away from the movie theater.
A really big and heavy Bronica SQ-A (6x6 camera), 80mm 2.8, 220-film back (buying a 120 soon), two Fuji Pro 160NS rolls and a couple of accessories (two different viewfinders), two matte prisms and a Capital lightmeter. I love it and I'm on my first roll. Gonna shoot a lot during the weekend to try it out, taking notes after every shot. Loving the square format, composition is a lot different than 35mm
Also bought Starfox 64 3D and Steel Diver!

Cell phone pictures incoming! You have been warned
This was an Xmas present. I think I love it. Or I did until my stepbrother jumped up onto it while I was using it. It has a weight limit dipshit! I'll be getting a new, unbent one sometime in the near future.
Hey, you need to turn this thing around the other way, so that both of the lower braces are against the door frame.

There's certainly no good reason to have imported, but at the same time it feels so nice to have.

Very nice, man. I have a Mamiya RZ67 myself, and I love it. Enjoy the world of MF photography.
Haven't got a camera at the moment, so no photos - but I imported a Nyko Powerpak+ for the 3DS from amazon.com.
Arrived on Monday, gave it a full charge, been playing on my 3DS every day with full brightness + 3D + wireless, as well as a good two hours on Chrono Trigger just now...AND IT STILL HAS THREE BARS LEFT
holy fuck, it's awesome

I haven't preordered a game since Wind Waker (OoT Master Quest bonus disc FTW). I've never paid in full for a preorder. I've never bought a collector's edition, even back to my NES days.
What can I say, I'm hyped for this one.
amazon doesnt charge you until the item ships, just a heads up
An envelope from Japan! What could the people of that fine country have sent me?
Ohhhh
WONDERFUL
HHHHnnnnnghhhhhhhh!
So awesome!
I was at the store earlier today and saw this: (crappy quality)
I got the Nightmare on Elm Street Collection on Blu Ray I'm so happy because I always wanted the DVD Collection but it didn't come out in my country (that I know of) so it was quite a surprise to come across with this little package (I didn't even know they were making a blu-ray release). I've only watched Dream Warriors so far and I'm pretty happy with the quality.

Got a PS2 and a few games.
Got a PS2 and a few games.
Fine assortment of PS2 games you got there.
Is that so?
I have a 5770 too. Everything else in my PC is new (i5 2500k), except this card.
I run into problems, for example, with Arkham City in 1680x1050 and I think everything on high. Skyrim also doesn't run as fast and beautiful as I would like.
What do I have to get to be able to participate in the High-Res Screenshot Thread? ;-)
I'm a german student in switzerland and so on a very tight budget
, that means no 7970 for me. (Apart from my budget, I would never pay so much money for a single gpu...)Thanks!
