Initially I baulked at 'The New 52' concept as nothing more than a half-hearted marketing stunt that would be quickly buried and forgotten but I've found it to be a good jumping in point. Haven't ever really been into 'cape & cowl' comics but the Batman Inc book has been surprisingly good. If anyone has some recommendations of other new DC reboots to watch out for I'm all ears.
Hit Girl because children using harsh language makes me giggle.
Games and Kubricks. Nothing beats that new smell from either.

Wow, that bezel is insane. Wish more TV manufacturers would do this, thin bezels make a set look so much nicer.

Good god you're right. It looks like it survived a fire. Mr. Sam please explain why that strap is so brown, it has piqued my interest.

Why not just get rid of it?
Here is everything I bought in June. This month will probably be a little easier on the wallet.
hahahahaha best post ever.

Hit Girl was pretty good. Batman Inc was decent too, but a lot of setup (and retconning?). You should check out a trade of the recent Batman stuff. Snyder is doing some cool things. "The Black Mirror" is like a horror graphic novel.

Thanks for the heads up on The Black Mirror. I'm kind of keen to check out The Court of Owls collected but it's only available in hardcover at the moment. Will wait for a trade or go the digital route if I wait it out for a Surface or grab a new iPad sooner.

Wait..wait..There is a Hit-Girl spin off comic now?...
I demand a Hit-Girl movie right now ( HG was the best thing about Kickass).

It's a mini-series (four issues?) with the focus on HG that bridges between Kick-Ass 1 and 2.

It looks like a wilted banana peel.
In expectance of my 3DS XL at the end of the month. Got both for 50 total.
Where?! Looking at the boxes I bet somewhere in the Netherlands/Belgium.

Possibly the only anime I will spend money on this year.. the Promo Heaven Coin is sweet.

Though not a pick-up, I did dig these 1990 Revlon Mario Shampoo/bubble bath's out of my basement yesterday.

Had to rebuy the NGE Issues, because I lost them while moving from my old place. And yeah I bought the #1 of Highschool of the Dead, too.

Amazing. I wonder if the bottles have any value.

Not got any pictures of them, because they're not new pick-ups, but I finally got a display shelf, mainly so my Codex Edition of Brotherhood wasn't sitting in a cupboard somewhere. Also decided to stick my Collector's Edition Skyward Sword guide and OoT 3D guides up there.

Is that lens cleaning disc necessary? I have Wii for a long time and it works fine (without lens cleaning kit).
They're the full OVAs in the original format (gunbuster ep 6 is windowboxed), and they both have brand new science lesson omakes and brought back the original seiyuus. A lot of fun.
No subs though.Though not a pick-up, I did dig these 1990 Revlon Mario Shampoo/bubble bath's out of my basement yesterday.
Is there anything left in them? Try them, maybe your skin won't fall off.
Super Smash Bros. was displaying an error message constantly. I asked a friend and he told me that cleaning the lens would likely solve the problem. Lo and behold, it did! Well, it will still crash if I try to play Smashville, but beggars can't be choosers.
It's since been untied and put on the side. I'm pretty confident I won't accidentally chuck the remote at my TV or a pet or something, though you never know.

is it weird of me to be upset that the characters are taking baths in their full clothing? who would do that? its absurd.
Oh sorry, should've mentioned I got them second hand. Cheapest price available over here is 37 per game.
A new month and new things.
Loving the Nexus 7 so much I gotta get some books!
What's with all the Amazon cards?

P4 looks amazing on the Vita screen. Also the first Vita game I've ever bought with a physical instruction manual!
It's a single sheet of paper, folded in half
She is absolutely amazing.
But I'm still waiting for the release of three other figurines from Guilty Crown, Tales of Xillia and Madoka Magica.
And I forgot to post this yesterday:
Gravity Rush (US PSVita)

Yeah I got the same message from SSB though that was the only game to show that error.

I always thought of that when i was a kid.
the pink peach one is full, most are empty or have less than 1/2 inch of stuff in them. I'm curious if soap can actually go bad?

Got the GotY. This time on 360.
I'm told it's because Smash Bros. has a dual-layered disc - which is fairly uncommon for Wii games - and so it's harder to read for used Wiis, particularly those as grubby as mine.
Looks to have a white back, which I believe were the ones given out to people that attended Google I/O

Yes, I love when fireworks do this. Makes it 10x more awesome even though if it just said something like "Loud Explosion" it would be the same thing.

Two posters arrived today!
E.T. - Really like how this one looks.
'The Avengers' - From the Tyler Stout lottery. Still can't believe I was picked. (Weird Angle I know)
Detail shots:
To see the full size images, and a few more detail shots of both, check this album.

My local Goodwill continues to be awesome!
PS1 - Alien Trilogy - $2.99 & CIB
PS1 - Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes - $2.99 & CIB
PS1 - Silent Hill - $2.99 & CIB
PS2 - Champions of Norrath - $3.99 & CIB
PS2 -Red Dead Revolver - $3.99 & CIB
PS2 - Rampage: Total Destruction - $3.99 & CIB
PS2 - Timesplitters: Future Perfect - $3.99 & CIB
PS2 - Winback - $3.99 & CIB
Plus I got ~30% off between my Goodwill card & a birthday coupon so I only paid ~$19 out of pocket (I had a few bucks in store credit too).
I think someone unloaded their entire Playstation collection because there were a TON of games on the rack today.
There were a lot more decent games, but most of them I already had, were in bad shape, or weren't complete (missing manuals, box art, etc.).
Plus there was an annoying reseller guy with a handheld scanner who was blocking most of the rack and didn't move an inch when I said "excuse me" and went to grab a game.
I was worried he grabbed some amazing stuff before I got there but the only thing of interest I saw in his cart was Final DOOM for PS1.
I might swing by again tomorrow to see if they put out anything new!
