I am in China right now. These are my first pickups here.

 

[lolez2matt]

Good deal on all the ds games <3

 

[mandiller]

I built the same PC I have different brands but the same. I didn't get the Hyper cooler though. Whats your idle temp?

My idle cpu temperature is about 32 degrees celcius. I've also put a 140mm fan into the top of the case which didn't come with it and that seems to be doing its job.

 

[Madrical]

Yeah buddy, new computer (mostly)

What case is this? Looks amazing and looks like it'd be easily modifiable (does that make sense?) which is what I want.

 

[Tenck]

I got Pokemon Stadium 1 and 2, LoZ Ocarina of Time, Banjo Kazooie 1 and 2 all for $8 today at a yard sale. I wish I could take a picture but my laptop is held captive by a virus

So I have nothing to upload my pictures with. D:

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Just got into the show recently, so I picked up:

$15 each at Best Buy... seemed like a deal worth taking advantage of.

 

[jinnosuke]

 

[Sourtreats]

I've seen several people buy two copies of OoT, why is this?

The gold ones are just pre-order cases in EU. They only contain a poster.

I didn't buy them it was free, i don't have a 3DS

Yep, and several super market gives them even if you didn't pre-order it.

 

[Asparagus]

My first laptop, very happy with it so far ^_^

 

[buhdeh]

Impressions so far? I read about the hybrid drives a while ago and thought they seemed like an excellent compromise between size and speed. Perhaps it would be nice for Seagate to bump the flash part to more than 4gb though, unless it doesn't seem to slow it down too much?

Also keep in mind that this is a 7200rpm drive. I use an ultraportable 13" laptop (3.5 lbs, no optical drive) and the hard drive vibration was VERY noticeable on my laptop. I imagine this would not be the case in a larger/thicker laptop.

 

[WEGGLES]

You should. It's like $20-25. Easy as pie to install, and will allow you to easily OC your CPU. Even if you don't OC, it'll run cooler and quieter. Stock intel fans are kinda wimpy.

pretty easy to take the old one off and put the new one on huh?

Looks like the fortress series from Silverstone.

I got this today at a flea market. The guy selling it refurbished the motor and the lights.

Holy shit that is amazing. Totally jealous!

Couldn't help myself on Tuesday evening.

I'm hoping the diphenhydramine will stave off the porphyric hemophilia.

You seriously get the most amazing stuff at flea markets and thrift stores.

That's a really neat item!

Thanks, I spend a ton of time looking so if I didn't find anything worthwhile every once awhile it would suck.

 

[DJ Crimson]

Yea

 

[Skel1ingt0n]

Still selling for ~$140 @ Amazon and Best Buy. Can't beat that!

 

[Litflynt912]

More retro goodness...Thank you Alex!!!!

 

[KingHenrik30]

Still selling for ~$140 @ Amazon and Best Buy. Can't beat that!

Anyone know what the trade in for this would be?

 

[HYDE]

If you open this, will you please post some Bazillion, Pillow Talk, Saifon, and Rodin high resolution art? If not on here, somewhere else, and let me know. You'd be my hero.

 

[RomanticHeroX]

Anyone know what the trade in for this would be?

Gamestop stopped accepting plastic instruments long ago so probably less than $15 for just the game.

 

[noirebanana]

Picked this up a couple of days ago for a dollar. They don't make quality soundtracks like this anymore, that's for sure.

Very cool. Where did you get it?

 

[SlaughterX]

Yes, I know the shirt is yellow, says Springfield and Simpson, but I'm not related to Homer. Also I will never wear this shirt.

 

[The Albatross]

Picked up a few new things last week.

First, I was in dire need of a nice, small, yet powerful 2.1 system for my bedroom TV. I have a Samsung 40" LCD but the sound is just horrible... like just piss horrible. So I picked up this Onkyo system for like $200 and change on Amazon:

Here's what I got:
Onkyo HTX-22HDX Ultra-Compact HD Home Theater System (Black)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BEDQRQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Sounds just great, especially compared to my stupid TV speakers.

Also picked up NCAA '12 and of course:

[purg3]

[Grokbu]

STUFFLES

http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a140/likchan/Pick-ups/Flynnfig.jpg

and a SHITLOAD of Steam games from the summer sale.

Nice. I'm considering picking up either of the Alter Vesperia figures. But I'd better hurry, since they're starting to get hard to find (outside of Ebay).

 

[JimmyBoy]

Yay, Microcenter deals and BestBuy giftcards!

 

[JEKKI]

whooo~!! another gravel nophic!!

Batmaaaaaaaang~!!!!

any other good recommendations I should read???

 

[Ninja Scooter]

if you are looking for Batman related, the Loeb/Sale stuff (Long Halloween followed by Dark Victory) are fantastic and natural followups to Year One.

Sticking to Batman or are you willing to branch out?

Long Halloween and Dark Victory, The Killing Joke, and The Dark Knight Returns are other awesome Batman graphic novels. I'd also recommend checking out Neil Gaiman's Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader. It's pretty short, so I don't recommend buying it, unless you like collecting. You can basically spend half an hour in your local bookstore or library and finish it.

Superman also has some good stuff. I HIGHLY recommend checking out Superman: Red Son. I also bought Secret Origin, that was also a good read.

Wow. That's one of the coolest pickups I've seen.

Space Jam soundtrack is great stuff.

Im branching everywhere!! yup, Red Son is next on my list!!

I am reading DKR rite now, and Long Halloween & Killing Joke are on my radar too!! I'll add Dark Victory there too!!

then my friend told me to read Justice League Tower of Babel so that's in the list too!!

thanks doods~!!

 

[chepu]

So First Pickup Post!

Ive got more pics but figured one will do!

Its a Venezuelan Made Famiclone, a NES that only displays a blinking Green/Pink Screen, the SNES is fine and the Virtual Boy is in Mint Conditions, even has the plastic package, manuals and that Duracell cardboard promo...Guess it was used only once.

By the way, all of them have Original A/V and electric cables.

Edit: Forgot to mention, All that stuff was free, so maybe I'll sell it all down the road

 

[RomanticHeroX]

VB Wario Land is the secret best Wario game.

Batman has a lot of really interesting stories. Depends on the era you're interested in. Grant Morrison is doing interesting things with the character but it's out there.

If you're into Superman, Red son is phenominal. Secret Origin is good as well. All Star Superman is the best work any one has done on Superman for the last 20-30 years. If anything, All Star Superman is in the same vein as Year One or The Dark Knight returns, in the sense that it takes the amazing characteristics of Superman and multiplies them. I can honestly say, in my opinion, there probable isn't a better Superman story out there.

Any of the green lantern trades starting with Green Lantern: Rebirth are awesome.

Kingdom Come is also a great graphic novel. So is New Frontier by Darwyn Cooke.

Give Hush a shot too. It's dense and over the top sometimes but Jim Lee's art is great.

Why would you buy 2 sleep aids ?

Sweet haul! I wish I could find VB Warioland and Mario Clash for a decent price.
