WOW man, your carpet is awesome! looks sooo soft.

:lol

It's actually a blanket. I was thinking the same thing though as I posted the picture. I knew somebody would see it as carpet. I was pondering carpet made of such material at the time.

It's David Hewlett's movie. He plays a main character on Atlantis, and since they're all such good buddies behind the scenes (as the Stargate disc special features show) he just got them all into the movie. In fact, some of the sets and props in ADB are actually re-used from Stargate Like the sci-fi ship in the fictional TV series in the movie, is actually the Prometheus/Apollo set from SG1/Atlantis.

My pickups - hooray for paydays!

Man, what a release Resident Evil 2 was. Not too many moments in gaming since matches the nostalgia I have for that gun shop scene.

Let me know if you're able to get into VP2, I haven't been able to, but I really haven't given it the time it deserves.

My quest for "getting those games I should have long ago" continues, now with some cheer leading action; trying to finish my Paranoia Agent collection now that Geneon USA has jumped the boat (I'm in Europe, do you Americans find it any harder to get ahold of Geneon releases? Or is the availability the same over there?); and hey, this year's Pearl Jam X-mas single didn't arrive on April! *yay*

OSU!

I bought 2 heat sink since both are rated the best, I wanted to see which woks best with my Core 2 Extreme 3Ghz processor. The Tuniq turns out almost impossible to install due to my motherboard’s huge heat sink surrounding the CPU, it’s screws are impossible to screw unless I have midget fingers(plus they’re the type you screw with your finger not screw drivers). So eventuall I took it off and installed the Thermalright 120 Ultra Extreme, it fit flawless and my temp dropped a good 7-10 degrees!  best HS EVER!!!


the other ram heat sin are for a friend, so i just ordered them for him.

the zalman VGA cooler is to cool my 8800GTX

I just got back from a wonderful two week vacation in Japan. It was my first visit. My partner and I went to Hakone, (Mt. Fuji), Osaka, Kyoto, Yokohama, were blessed by the Emperor and his family for New Years and of course I had to visit Akihabara. The first electronics store I visited was actually Bic in Ginza. In my excitement over actually getting a copy of Famitsu in Japan along with all the promotional videogame papers I was carrying (they give out so many), I walked out without paying for Famitsu! Yikes! Anyway when I visited Akihabara I went to Trader Super Potato the all the other PC shops...deals all around. Especially at Traders! I also would like to tell anyone going to Japan to find the locations of a chain called Book Off. Map them BEFORE you go, it's alot easier. The best place for random bargains ever! I had so much fun!

Here are some pics of stuff I got:
Art of Gyakutensaiban I bought at the Mandarake Sibuya.

PopNMusic PS1

Zero Divide! It's been so long since i played this! This was in the junk bin at Trader!

This was also in the junk bin! The MaestroMusic I have had a curious interest in this game since Mad Maestro for the PS2. I could not believe my luck!

Wonderswan and NeoGeo Portables and a Doeraman game (my partner loves Doreamon!)

Saturn games were 50 yen to 100 yen each for the most part. I assembled most of the following from Trader Book Off and any of the expensive prices were from Super Potato. And I found Zero Divide Two i the Trader junk box!!

Then I was in Book Off Asakasa (where we stayed) and found this! What a find! 15Yen for the game and controller!

Below, the Saturn was 3000yen at Traders, the Fighting Stick was 180y and the Driving stick was 1yen! I almost left the stick behind but my partner packed it! He's the best! The Famicom is a junk 100yen model

Nodame Cantabile for DS a rythym game which guest stars the Taiko Drums from Taik from Taiko Drum Master!

holy shit

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

Another one. I'm trying to get all their albums back in MP3 format rather than the AAC I originally bought them in. Three Cheers is probably their weakest album (as an album and not just a collection of songs), and probably just because it doesn't have an ending song on the level of their other two (Demoliton Lovers and Famous Last Words/Blood). But that's like saying one sandwich is weaker than two others because it's missing a few slices of turkey.

Yes, I'm analyzing My Chemical Romance albums. It's Sunday.

I bought Ratatouille from Amazon in the Blu-ray sale, it should be here next week.

What...is wrong with you?

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

It's actually impossible to convince anyone that this is a good band, and it's all because of the hardcore fanbase. I guess it's also hard to convince nongamers that gamers aren't all sweaty, pimply faced nerds and that all Christians aren't militant nutjobs.

Well fucking put. Still don't like MCR though.

You know, after actually listening to their albums (especially black parade), My Chem is not bad at all. I'm not so much into the scene and blew them off to the side, but their music is rather enjoyable.

 

[twilitesparklemotion]

I actually believe that's a personal choice. Some people (me) like the style, others (you) don't. Some people can't stand death metal vocals or hair metal vocals, either. I like both.

EDIT:

Black Parade from start to finish (especially if you drop Cancer, which is very :'() is completely fantastic. My Chem knows how to end an album.

pics of CRAZY bargains

damn. It must have been fun, all that "hunting" for bargains. :/

 

[DSFan1970]

damn. It must have been fun, all that "hunting" for bargains. :/

It was fun, but I spent about just a few hours 'hunting'. It's insanely crowded in in Akihabara, and I could only stand it a little while. It was nice though to see a place where games are taken seriously (like here) while being sold to by people who also love games (not like here).
Bookoff though I did go out of my way to find. Excellent place. I did buy alot, but how many times am I in Japan?

Thanks for that wonderful post, I'm planning on going to Japan sometime in April! It'll be my second time in the country(first time I was too young to remember), so it'll be a fun/confusing hunt I guess... lol...

 

[Alpha_eX]

Annoyed at Play-Asia for screwing me over a second time by not sending a full set, first Zelda then those, dammit!

These are cool, got the set for £10, already got the Baby Bowser and Blue Defino guy from some random Gashapon shop in Japan, nice to have the full set.

 

[neojubei]

Not to go off topic, but DSFan1970, you've totally made my decision for my travel plans. I haven't been back to Japan in like 5 years now, so instead of going to San Francisco I think I might spend 2 weeks in Japan with my friend in May.

But...Gerard Way can't sing for shit.

I'll give him credit for his appearance on Every Time I Die's Gutter Phenomenon, but besides that... you won't find them in my collection. Besides, he and Keith Buckley's singing...the difference is indiscernable.
