Passed on the last one because an update locked out blu-playback through component. Tempted to get the new one.

Will that have a good fps on Far Cry 3 at max settings?

yea, but for some reason everyone gets stuttering from driver issues. it's an issue in both AMD and Nvidia cards.

My rig has almost the same specs and I had everything maxed out with not a hint of lag at any point. The only issue I had was the long initial loading time, even on my SSD.

I found a cheap like new copy of Akira on Amazon and I figured since I've never seen it and I've always wanted to watch it, I just snag myself a DVD copy of it

Special shout-out to Yes Boss! for helping me source the ashtrays. Today's photo is presented in TATE MODE in YB's honour.

Those ashtrays are from Rancor´s Tokyoshmups store right? The Kit Kats are his signature. Been meaning to order some, but I don´t really want to setup a PayPal account.

 

[Minus_Me]

I have that version of Akira. Looks good on my Oppo blu ray.

 

[Blastoise]

New TV Going from 55 to 70 inches was even more awesome than I thought it would be.

With remote controlled backlight from Dealextreme ^_^

Can you give me a link to this?

 

[Tunic]

Just starting up Ni No Kuni as we speak and I am super excited after watching a couple hours of livestreams of the beginning of the game. Finally invested in a PS3, so many good games I have been wanting to try for so long. Felt like the perfect time to purchase one.

[B]Club Sega & Taito ashtrays[/B] - Been after a few since my last trip to Japan. Now to take up smoking again.
[B]Joystick Gamers![/B] - Gorgeous photos of various arcades in Japan.
[B]Anarchy Reigns PS3[/B] - Kamiya asking Kotaku [I]"Do you eat shit?"[/I] deserves a double dip.
[B]Balloon Fight Wii U VC[/B] - 30 cents? No brainer.
[B]Mysterious Japanese KitKats[/B] - A nice surprise that came with the ashtrays. 'Pumpkin Pudding'? 'Vanilla Ice'? Forget smoking again, I need the full taste experience.[/QUOTE]

Cool. How do you like Joystick Gamers?

Three cheers for terrible US cover art!

Picked up some disc only Gamecube games over the last few weeks from Gamestop's 75% off sale.

Baldurs Gate Dark Alliance
Chaos Field
Fight Night Round 2 (Thanks to the Unprecedented Partnership between EA & Nintendo this game included Super Punchout.)
Freekstyle
Incredible Hulk Ultimate Destruction (Gamepro gave this game a 4 out of 5!!!)
Lord of the Rings Two Towers (This game has held up very well. Great game so far.)
NBA Street Vol.2 (Nelly is a un-lockable character.)
SSX 3 (For all those wondering, yes, this game is compatible with SSX 3 on the GBA via the GBA to GC link cable.)
WWE Reckoning 2



Decided to try printing up some covers to see how they turned out.
Got the covers from http://www.thecoverproject.net/ and used glossy paper.
Got my purple dvd cases from mertline a while ago.

Covers came out OK (i'm using a inkjet printer). Definitely not retail quality though. The black color not being deep enough was the biggest problem. Here's a side by side of my real F-zero GX cover and my printed Chaos Field:

 

[Ratba]

I bought these yesterday for £7 each from my local store and if you note Bioshock 2 is the Japanese version with English language

That's not the Japanese version, it doesn't have the right rating tag.

 

[BlackJace]

Insanely shitty cell pic

Awesome that this edition came with the soundtrack CD.

 

[AkIRA_22]

I found a cheap like new copy of Akira on Amazon and I figured since I've never seen it and I've always wanted to watch it, I just snag myself a DVD copy of it

OH man! you are in for a TREAT!

[Prowl]

[cj_iwakura]

Impulse buys from random sellers.

[foobarry81]

So Dokuro finally arrived about a week ago! I had ordered if from Play-Asia on Nov 13th. But customs apparently preferred looking more closely into this small package instead of the containers full of illegal viagra passing behind their backs. Turned out the value of the package (around 24 euros) exceeded the legally allowed 22 euros by a whopping 2 euros. So I had to cough up another 21 (twenty one) euros to get my package.

Professor Layton and Pandora's Box
Kirby Mass Attack

Radiant Historia: prices have been going up and up for this one recently. It's crazy. Luckily managed to snag a copy right before that at a still decent price.

And then some Metal Gear stuff (building a collection):
Metal Gear Solid
Metal Gear Solid 2: Substance (this is the CE with the Document of Metal Gear Solid 2 included)
Metal Gear Ac!d
Metal Gear Ac!d 2
Metal Gear Solid: Digital Graphic Novel
Metal Gear Solid Portable Ops Plus
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection for Vita.

 

[Urishizu]

Outstanding! You have fine taste.

 

[SlaughterX]

 

[Easystride]

Outstanding! You have fine taste.

Thanks! I love to rewatch Ozu films. They are just so relaxing and often surprisingly humorous (especially Equinox Flower).

 

[jonno394]

Few Blu-rays, really Happy with Getting the Clone Wars and Nameless Gangster Digibooks for £10 each off ebay

 

[Tomodachi]

What's your opinion on the Performance MX mouse? I've been eyeing it since forever.

 

[Sylver]

Something "stupid" but awesome , my gf come back from Cuba and gift me some cohibas and (not pictured) Romeo y Julieta habanos.

 

[PapaJustify]

To the surprise of a lot of people here on GAF, I have never seen the "Willi Wonka and the Chocolate Factory"

 

[Xtincthed]

Finally obtained the US 2001 Ico poster.
Three cheers for terrible US cover art!

the European art is so much better indeed, but still it's a nice poster!

 

[mr_toa]

Yeah... going to be busy for a long time.

Quite - that's an awesome pickup
