Die Hard Arcade. Me and my brother spent COUNTLESS quarters playing this years ago at CiCi's Pizza.
I never thought I'd actually own the Saturn version and was just about to give up and settle for Dynamite Cop.
Then I found this.
It's in pretty much perfect condition (the case has two cracks but the disc is MINT) and Goodwill was charging half the price that it goes for online.
So happy with this one.

pretty cool paid $40 for mine

Power Quest
I've wanted this game for at least 10 years. I used to play it all the time with a friend (he had 2 copies) over the link cable.
It's basically a fighting game but also an RPG.
One of the few 2D fighting games that I actually like.

Nostalgia just kicked me right in the gooch. That game was so badass to play back in the day.

Evening 'Gaf. Here a few of my 2013 pick-ups so far! Technically I received Layton and Paper Mario alongside my 3DS XL as a present from my kindly mother at Christmas. I included them in the picture anyway; they're both much better than I expected them to be! Theatrhythm is fun too; I bought it in the sale for £17.99.

Where did you get that shirt?
 

Yes Boss!

Got the three new Batmans on Blu for $33. Seems like a nice price for all three. Have not seen the last movie but I'm gonna rewatch the first two then hit the third.

Dell Ultrasharp 27" IPS LED monitor. Looks great. First one I got had major yellow bleeding so I requested for a replacement and the second had none. Phew.

16GB Vita memory card from that Sony store sale. REALLY wanted the 32GB but it sold out.

Also, old school corner in the works. Need to look for my SNES and N64 which are in boxes somewhere.

Ha, I didn't realize it until now. I mostly shot from that angle to avoid the glare from my light.

Guess it worked out anyways.

I meant the angle in the cover art haha, it has an unique looking perspective.

But OK that's good camera work too, well done! ;)

Oh, and I guess I picked this up too.

I've been certified for a year but never got the physical copy.

Sort of off topic, but related to what you just posted, how long would you say you should study for the A+ Essentials part? I'm supposed to take it Friday but I'm thinking about moving it to March or something. I got really lucky when I got my Net+ (got 720, the exact score I needed to pass) and I'm not exactly sure how much time I should've put into studying for this. I know the A+ should've been first, but that's just how my school schedule went down. lol

As for Marwan,

Don't really know the circumstances. He posted his usual christmas pics from UAE/Dubai then a few days later his dad posted a message how it was bad to loose a son. The other message was from his mother, but in arabic, so I'm not sure what it said. I think something about a seisure.

I was only an internet friend but we shared a great deal since I grew up a few hundred miles from him, in the Kingdom, and we shared a bunch of the same likes such as Nintendo, the Lebanese singer Fairuz and Madonna.

That's so sad. I remember him. He had kids too. :(
 
Ah, I assumed you bought it on 12/12/12 in the states.

Envious.

I read somewhere they sold out really quickly in the US. It was quite a hassle to get me these 2 already, so I can imagine what it would be like to try and get some if you don't live in/near Belgium.

Yeah, it wasn't even available in most of the US, and even then it was something like $85 for a four-pack of bottles.

I would've bought some if it was sold in my state. Oh well.

You could try and find Sint-Bernardus' Abt 12, which is fairly similar to Westvleteren 12, but not as limited in production. So it should be a lot cheaper too.

The wiki page explains why it's so similar:

What does the yellow bleeding look like? How do you notice it? Thanks! (Still can't open my monitor yet...)
