Warning, long post incoming. These are my pickups for the last couple months.
First, I got myself an iPad
Accessories for iPad are way too expensive, so I bought a sort of photo holder for 100yen ($1) and use it as a stand :lol
There was a sale this weekend where you could buy a WiMAX router for 1 yen (!!!) when subscribing for the service. There's no long term engagement, so I can stop whenever I want, and I only pay for the days I use. It's the perfect deal. This little thing allow me to share my WiMAX connection with 10 other devices, and the speed is really impressive (at least compared to the 3G I usually have on my iPhone). This thing is really awesome!!! I can't wait for my next trip out of town so I can use it :lol
I took a speed test on my iPhone to compare. This is with 3G:
And this is with WiMAX (this is in my room, where I don't get that much of a good signal. It's even better if I go out downtown)
Games: Super Mario Galaxy 2 (one of the best games I've played in a long time), Batman AA and Red Steel 2 (very very cheap from sales in the UK
)
There's now way I will ever get the Fortune Hunter edition, so I made my own little Collector's edition for Uncharted 2 with the soundtrack and the official artbook (both are really so beautiful
A few recommendations from GAF: Bone (the complete series), The Life and Time of Scrooge Mc Duck (vol.1, the 3 others are coming soon), and Nintendo Magic.
Some blurays: Toy Story 1 and 2 (so hyped for TS3, but I can't find any theater that is showing it in English in my town T_T ), Life from the BBC, and Pirates of the Caribbean (the 3 movies)
New music: Asian Kung-fu Generation (their new album and single, and also their last live on bluray), Chickenfoot (live on bluray), Dr Horrible (on bluray too, I must have watched a dozen times now), and Voices (live Final Fantasy music, on DVD).
Thank you amazon.co.jp for selling me all the junk food that I need but can't find in Japan
A new rice cooker to replace the old one that stopped working
This one is a Sanyo.
This last one is for Markman. I think I found your next arcade stick :lol
