Finally able to play Mass Effect 2! Got bootcamp running on my iMac. Also DQ IX is hot sauce, loving it so far.

what's the performance like? Have you had a chance to really put your foot into it yet?

I may or may not have taken her to a nice curvy back road I know of, and I may or may not have exceeded 100mph on straights.

It may or may not have been AWESOME. The sport suspension would probably hug the road quite rally-car like, if I had done those things.

Beats the pants off my traded-in 1999 Chevy Cavalier, that's for sure!!

What case is that for the DS games? Looks good!

I don't remember exactly, but I think it's called a "DS Collection Case" or something similar.
I love that each one holds 24 games, but the case doesn't snap/lock shut so it's not the best choice for travel.

I randomly found them on some Japanese home decor mail-order website and ordered a bunch for my collection a year or two ago. I don't think they're available from that store anymore, but you might be able to find them somewhere online.

perfectly reasonable. i got one in the basement, one in the kitchen and one in my bedroom :D
You should probably put the one from the kitchen and into the toilet would be fantastic.. thought probably spend a lot of time in the toilet after that >.> I know I would

I'm back!

After 4 long months of moving home and "enjoying" the resulting reverse-culture-shock and depression, I've finally rounded up all of the stuff I picked up during my last months in Japan and since moving back to America and took some pics to share.
All of the Japanese stuff was bought in March/April before leaving the country, but the rest I've managed to pick up dirt cheap here in the States:

Well, I think that's it. Remember, this stuff is from March 2010-today, not JUST July!! :lol

WOW! :O

I hope you find the time to enjoy all that stuff! :D

I wanted some extra USB-ports at the front of the PC and stumbled upon this little thing. 2x USB-ports, card readers and what I liked the most, a bay for 2.5 inch harddrives.

Sadly they only had the silver one in stock, so it doesnt really fit the all black PC tower. :p

I was a little disappointed with the transfer speed for the card reader, really slow compared to my no-name external reader.

A 2.5 inch IDE HDD of your choice can be put in this enclosure, which allows docking. I got a 80GB one.

What type of camera did you use to take these pictures?

DSLR, Sony Alpha 900 + a small flash HVL-F20AM (bounce) because the batteries were dead on the main flash. :(

My four-year-old daughter loves to watch me play video games. "We" are currently playing through Metroid Prime.

I recently played through Spyro the Dragon with her, and as soon as it was finished, I knew I had to buy the sequel. I immediate went on Ebay and snagged a cheap copy.

I played through Pikmin with her almost a year ago, and she still occasionally asks me to play it again. I tried it again a few weeks ago, but it is a little too fresh in my mind to play again so soon. I don't know why I never thought to get the sequel, but as soon as I remembered there was one, I got online and ordered it.

This is my first mac and i am looking forward to it .

Apple Wireless Keyboard as well.

I am a week late since I just discovered this thread, but congrats. I bailed on Windows about 3 years ago and don't miss it. I wanted a laptop and PC laptops are overflowing with absolute misery. After having to provide Windows tech support, both professionally and casually, for about 15 years, it was a very refreshing switch. It took about 3 days to get used to Mac OS.

After couple years, I converted my wife. She now uses a Macbook Pro as her main computer. I also retired our Windows file server and now use a Mac Mini as our HTPC (Plex.app is godly).

You're awesome for doing this. My 5-year old cousin loves watching me play video games. I went through the 50cc and 100cc in Mario Kart Wii while she watched and now I'm going through James Cameron's Avatar: The Game. We've progressed from her watching, to her controlling the nunchuk (while I attack with the Wiimote) and finally us playing co-op with one another.

She did refuse to watch me play Carcassone on my iPhone because she said it looked boring. *laughs*

Have you tried Co-Op with the Lego games? I used to baby sit my friends brother who was 4 at the time, and he had a BLAST playing those with me. Although I had to let him get all the bricks and I was "accidentally" killed several times, I had a lot of fun too:lol

From what it is

* mini replica of recording script
* Blazblue Visual book
* Specially labeled disk
* Noel Vermillion Nendoroid Petit

Japan only I think. I see a Asian version, but I dunno. I went to the Aksys english website and I see in the faq, they will not have any kind of Special Edition for it. :(

Nausicaa Blu-ray. Lovely packaging. It comes with a miniaturized Animage collecting what I presume are all the original articles about the film.

Holy hotness!

I can't wait for Disney to release that here. I know the packaging will probably suck by comparison.. but Nausicaa in blu? *drools*

Does it have the English dub? (it's not bad... Patrick Stewart!)
 
Whew, it's been a while since I've even posted. Been really busy the past couple of weeks, but managed to secure some stuff along the way.

My daughter had a great time being P2 in Super Mario Galaxy 2. It's a little disappointing that Pikmin 2 doesn't have something for P2 to do.
