NeoGAF JULY 2011 Pick-Up Post! Show Us Your Goods! (Real pics or BAN!)!
- Thread starter MarkMan
- Start date
I got them after scouring GAF for recommendations for closed cans, and I think they sound fantastic -- or at least the few hours of L.A. Noire that I've played with them so far did. They're super comfortable and the extra-long cable is a nice plus. They don't completely block out all outside noise though, but that's okay by me.celcius said:

An RPG and an action game to hold me over until the big guns this fall.

My very first figure. Never wanted to spend the money on a figure but I finally saw a One Piece P.O.P. in stock and decided to go with it. Not sure I'll be buying any more or at least any in the near future but I like it. Perona's probably one of my favorite non-Strawhats.
Also picked up my first Lego minifig today. Probably just stick with the one as well. Not bad getting one from my favorite sport on my first go. Wouldn't have minded the hazmat suit guy either.
And picked up this little guy before my blackout dates started at Islands of Adventure this year. Really sucks that my friends and I couldn't go in before the final movie. But at least he still smells like chocolate almost a month later!

12 years waiting for this moment. 12 fricking years! This is the best purchase I've ever done.
Wow, that show better be worth it.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
A few cheap pickups!
Got Dirt 3 for filling out some foreign survey for AMD. Can't be a free new release!
And they sent me another freebie key for some reason! Worked out a deal with a member on another forum to trade it for Batman AA GOTY, which is on sale today. That way we both "win".
I highly encourage EVERYONE to support the indie developers behind the Humble Indie Bundle #3. Five fantastic games for whatever donation you feel most comfortable with. Anywhere from a penny to $100+. While you can be a cheapass, I implore anyone who takes advantage of this to pay at least the average, which hovers around $3-$4. I bought four bundles. One for $10 for myself. And three for $3.51 - the "average" donation amount at the time I purchased. This supports indie developers, charity, and DRM-free gaming.
Here's a free code for the first person who read through all of my babbling EMB95-3TVFF-56WVZ It will work if you "activate a product" on Steam. Enjoy!
And finally... this isn't really a purchase. But I want to show off.

Last pick ups of the month (at least the wallet hopes so):
Metroid: Other M - loved the gameplay videos and what I played at a friend. Was only 15 at MediaMarkt.
Sakura Wars: So long my Love - finally found for a reasonable price.
Humble Bundle #3 - loved the other 3. Steam-free, yay!
P.S.: How I hate the USK logo ...
P.P.S.: Damn you, you Catherine owners. Need to get a PS3 until the PAL release

The supremely beautiful Fractal Design ARC. It's got loads of fan mounts, all are both 120mm or 140mm (which I have filled with fractal 140mm) and even an off set space for a 240mm rad up top.
Here is a great video review
You can get it Here in Australia and Here in the USA

So here are a few of my favorite things I got from comic con, not including the cool shirts and autographed posters I got:
Some thing from the Tekken room, not sure what it is. Maybe some tin card or something. Maybe Markman can clear it up for me.
THUNDER CATS!
And this next one needs the back story. Capcom was holding a contest everyday in the Asura's Wrath scream box. People scream in a box and a computer rates their scream from a scale from 1-100. The highest scream of the day gets to choose any item from the Capcom store that they want for free. In the case of a tie they raffled between the top scorers. So me, my brother, and my girlfriend line up, just to play for fun and get some free Asura's Wrath swag. My brother got 90 and I got 94. MY girlfriend steps in and gets 100. There's already about 10 people who got 100 so she gets put into the raffle. We continue walking around and 30 minutes before Comic Con ends she gets a text saying she won. They didn't have any arcade sticks left so we decided it's better if she just got the most expensive thing so she got the $375 Ryu statue. #26 of 200. She has no place for it at her house, so I get to keep it at mine :]

Bought a new Macbook Air last week. Replaced my old 11,6" Air with a brand new 13,3". Loving every minute I use it. Didn't expect such a huge speed benefit from the new i5 cpus and double the ram. Best upgrade I've ever made.
I also bought a Windows Phone 7 (LG e900 Optimus 7) for a mere 175 branded but unlocked. Replaced my iPhone 3GS with it. I'm not sure yet if it's going to be until the iPhone 5 comes out or if WP7 is going to stay. I really like what Microsoft delivered with the OS and basically every app I need exists on this device. If it wasn't for IE as the only browser, it would be perfect.

Caught the Amazon Yakuza 4 deal.
Purchased this on kidrobot and then literally right after that read in this thread about getting them on ebay individually. Then tried but Kidrobot wouldn't cancel the order.
Got my order... opened it and ..... fuuuu.gif
ANOTHER CHUN. If anyone wants to trade please hit me up. Seriously.

In Photo Booth? There's a option up in the menu bar for that. I'm at work so I'm stuck on Windows. Otherwise I'd tell you exactly where it is.

Thank you! Didn't know there was such an option. This is awesome! I was trying to flip the image in Preview.app, but while it shows the image correctly, it stores it in the unflipped version that obviously only OSX knows how to handle.
