I haven't posted in these threads since December. I guess I've been too lazy. Ah well...

Got the 360 Pro 60GB Bundle as a late Christmas present in January. Got SF4 and NG: DS in February.

Some summer stuff. Used a $10 Target gift card I got at school to get Jungle Beat. Received DOA3 from Paco via the "FREE to a good home" thread (Thanks! ). And of course BlazBlue is the only game I actually got in July.

Mark, can I please have some free stuff? My b-day was yesterday and nobody got me anything.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Just one more reason the DS continues to be the best game system EVER made: $2 Game & Watch titles.

 

[feel]

good luck 10 years from now when you cant hear.

Nah, I don't push it, I keep the volume in check.

 

[SlaughterX]

Just paid less than $260 for 6 months of car insurance, YAAAAAAAAAAAY!

 

[PhoenixSFT]

I remember playing this game constantly since my uncle let me borrow it. It was one of my first big games as a kid. I always had trouble getting past the 2nd dungeon in the swamp b/c I didn't know what a Stalfos, Pols Voice, or Keese was at the time :lol

 

[Ecto311]

Great deal at game stop for $9.99 new in the wrapper. Might keep in the plastic because getting something in this condition from game stop new is very rare.

Pikmin was from the amazon sale of the day and Coraline is for the wife.

A few games I missed out when they came out from another gamestop sale.

Not pictured is the $20 bionic commando new from gamestop. Man that game is awesome for the price. I would have been happy paying full price for it.

 

[SPACECADET]

first post in here. crappy iphone pics. i was tempted to post everything i'd bought while waiting to get into gaf.

 

[Dragoon_lantz]

Lost my copy of Dawn of Sorrow, so got another. AW2 was in pristine condition surprisingly at gamestop for 10

 

[slider]

First time pick-up post so excuse me if there's anything untoward. I just went for one composite pic... although it seems people like the close-ups.

The Sheild series 5 and 7 (I have the others and can't wait to tuck into 7).
inFamous, PS3 - finally, been waiting weeks for this.
Deadspace, PS3 - can't believe I haven't played this yet. Let's hope it breaks Warhawk's hold over me.
Planet Earth, Nature's Great Events, Wild China (hoping there are lots of pandas!), Yellowstone and South Pacific Blu-rays. I've got a couple from the series still missing but I'm hoping they turn up soon. I should really check what titles they are...
Grave of the Fireflies DVD.
M83's Saturdays = Youth CD.

Should be enough to keep me out of trouble for a while.

Which EB did you pick that up at?

 

[Tigel]

First pick-up post as well!

The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition: Not very far, but I'm enjoying it alot.

Man on the Moon: some reading material
Watchmen Steelbook: watching it tonight, can't wait to see the extended footage
Home soundtrack: awesome music from an awesome documentary
The Final Break: just watched it. Pretty barebone disc (no extras except for 2 deleted scenes), but the "film" itself is quite alright

 

[Yami]

First pickup post; just like some others!

Bit late picking up COD4 and SCIV, ArcadeMania I've had for a few weeks, only properly read it the other day. Picked up a month's Live as well

Dream Theater's latest album, it's not bad.

CKY's Carver City, an excellent album, I was worried it wouldn't live up to the others; in fact it's done better.

And Transformers Universe Sideswipe, just because.

 

[Ultima_5]

Annie Hall is a great movie! I just saw it for the first time a few days ago.

 

[hesis]

First pick-up post! Finally...er...picked up a 360 a couple weeks ago (maybe sooner, I lose all track of time in the summer! ) Since then I've picked up Fable II as well.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Me and you alike... Friends always barrow my games but I never let anyone touch my Link's Awakening. It was also my first big game as well. I was around 5 or 6

 

[Cant0na]

i wanna read that book.

heard steven cohen on World soccer daily podcast talk about it as "the best thing that came out of becks coming over here and wasting everyones time"

 

[MrBeggar]

Where does a person acquire such a treasure chest?

Thanks for the nice comments fellow Gaffers.. I thought I'd give back since I got alot of inspiration of how to do up my condo from here..
but yeah DoctoWho:
I bought it from urbanbarn.com
I've seen alot of ottoman's but in terms of size/quality and to match my current leather furniture this was the best choice.

 

[Scythian Empire]

Picked up Metal Gear Solid 2 for £2 online. To my horror, when It arrived in the post a couple of days later, my dog had ripped to shreds the casing of the game. There's a minor scratch on the disc and was all working fine up until today, where the game freezes at a certain codec moment.
My dog owes me £2

 

[n8NMONSTER]

Got these today:

Coraline and Watchmen.

I'm amazed I beat it without a guide when I was younger. I think I just tried every combination to defeat those enemies at the time. I'm headed to the 7th dungeon and there are several items I needed but didn't have at that point and how I figured to get them all around ten years ago is beyond me.

I'm five chapters in and it's good so far. The first three chapters were really good but the last two I've read have been very repetitive.

 

[red shoe paul]

I'm surprised not alot of people I expected picked up either Coraline/Watchman day 1.

 

[MarkMan]

Some parts came in...

Close up of me balls...

And finally got a second one...

 

[GodfatherX]

1998 Honda Civic

not the nicest or newest car in the world but it gets almost triple the gas mileage of the 98 Grand Cherokee Limited I have been driving for 2 years

 

[Finance]

Got these today:

Coraline and Watchmen.

hey you have any advice in getting those white bestbuy stickers off?

my brother usually orders his blurays from amazon, like he did with watchmen which hasnt arrived yet. but he went and picked up the T2 special edition at BB today and they stuck that sticker on a paper cover just like on your two movies.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Whoops, forgot I got this while I was away in San Francisco. Picked it up from Cosmic Bus in the the Buy/Sell/Trade thread...a super resource! Image is exquisite. Anybody who thinks the blu-ray is about as equal as the old Media Asia DVD is either crazy or has a shitty TV.

Get rid of those Altezza tail lights and you have one very clean Civic right there.

 

[grap3fruitman]

Only $25 for the whole lot. Thanks Amazon and SonyStyle.
Still kind of pissed that I didn't get Uncharted and VF5 from SonyStyle though. =\

 

[Anso]

FINALLY got a hold of the Wild Arms 5 PAL release. Was only released in France and Italy in limited numbers :3

 

[IrishNinja]

Stuff from JUNE!

awesome, i just discovered uyama hiroto last month or so while searching for things like the nujabes.

nothing this month unless i can pull off some XBL points for Sam & Max/Monkey Island, though Call of Juarez looks tempting.

 

[Lonesome_Raod]

Wild Arms V got a UK PAL release. Several stores stocked it around here when it released.

With English box art and all that? Would love a screenshot of it since I have heard otherwise. I realize many might have stocked the import version but I think it was the same way with Ar Tonelico and Rule of Rose, both never made it to the UK because of various reasons. 505 Games ftw.

Modern Warfare II Poster

60GB Pro Jasper + RE5 + Wireless Controller + HDMI cable

Actually I did even more research and it seems a few UK retailers got Wild Arms 5. There's still some confusion what release that was since many claim the manual was in english/spanish and similar stories. I've yet to see an english-only game.. Ah well, still worth my money, just like Ar Tonelico.

 

[Nachkebia]

This thread is evil.........

 

[Bliddo]

so good

 

[Goidil]

Something for Xbox and Xbox 360. Call of Duty 2 is definetely one of the best FPS I've ever played.

Ridge Racers and Monster Hunter Freedom Unite with an "unoffensive" dragon

La Rabbia by Pasolini and Guareschi. A very interesting movie of 1963 divided into two parts. "La Rabbia is a strange film composed entirely of documentary material. I did not shoot a single frame. Most of it is made up of extracts from newsreels, all of which are banal and reactionary. [...] My idea was to offer a marxist denunciation of the society and events of the time"

Rent a Hero n.1, Astroboy Omega Factor and others games for Game Boy, Dreamcast and Superfamicom.

The last game I bought for Nintendo DS was Pokèmon Diamond, so I decided to buy some games for this console.

Yes, I discovered him this January, love this album to death. Also nujabes is probably one of my most favorite artists ever!

[Frawdder]

Picked these up earlier this month. Easily one of the best shows I've ever seen.
