I paid good money for this Dynex!
Picked up a couple other things today, because I got 'em on the cheap.

Super Street Fighter IV. Playstation 3. $10.
Life. Blu-Ray. $46.
Decided to get SSFIV for the PS3 instead of 360 (I have the vanilla SFIV on 360)..
Where'd you get SSF4 for $10?

Pappasman said:I bought a Wii points card and scratched off 2 of the numbers by accident. I guessed it though and got my 2000 points. Close call :lol
lol, the same thing happened to my brother, but he ended up scratching like 90% of the numbers off. come to think of it, i don't think he ever got his money back.

That's pretty cool. Sony is actually supposedly releasing the first digital Pellix-type camera later this year.

Someone just PM'd me about this as well. I probably should've clarified it when I first posted my pick-ups.
I got Super Street Fighter IV when it was on sale for $29.99 at Amazon.com. I also had a $20 video game credit from purchasing Super Mario Galaxy 2, thus bringing the game down to $10.

First arrivals of the month. Such a difference in price too - one cost £5 and two cost ~£50 each. Can you guess which?
Also, not pictured, ticket for Ricardo Villalobos in Belfast tonight

Stuff from May, but I've been pretty damn busy the past month to really sit down and gather it up for picture time. :lol
Got some stuff from the Nintendo World Store in NYC: Bald Bull Shirt, NWS Shirt, Yoshis, KeyChain Chomp, and SMG2.
Had to satiate my mecha need: HG 1/144 Gundam Astraea Type F2, HG 1/144 O Gundam, Revoltech EVA-05
Lost Planet 2, Macally iPad Case/Stand, and the iPad Camera Kit
The Bell & Ross BR 01 Airborne Talisman watch. I love this thing.
And this little grant for a proposal I'm currently working on in bringing education through gaming. I love you Media Molecule. <3
OMG Bro that watch is awesome..
Did you pay like 5-7k for it? Or is it a replica or what?
I have coveted that watch since I saw it in Vegas
Decided to go prowling a few used game shops downtown the other day and for about eight bucks came away with these:
Highway Star (also known as Rad Racer) and Tecmo Super Bowl, still has the manual and the poster with "all 28 NFL teams" totally crispy and fresh!

Okay, so May was one hell of a month. This is mostly due to Kinokuniya Bookstore in NYC (NYC vacation was awesome!) and Anime North in Toronto last weekend. Let's get started.
PS3 TE Stick Round 2- ~$160 CAD
Fucking beautiful. I love it.
One Piece Volumes- $5 a pop
5 dollar manga at Anime North. What can I say, I went off :lol
Various guidebooks/magazines- $10 each/$4 each
Those magazines are hard to find even online, let alone at that price. Very cool items.
STRONG WORLD Artbook- $18
Dragon Ball 12- $4
EGM- $6
More Kino pickups, and the new EGM! I have yet to see it in Canada, unfortunately.
Galaxy 2- $49.99
Galaxy 2/Pokemon Black and White mag- $11
Super Mario Bros 3- $4.99
Obvious pickup is obvious. And I found Mario 3 at Anime North for cheap, so why not?
Pokemon Emerald- $20
LTTP/4 Swords- $10
MGS3 Subsistence- $20 (first disc not pictured)
Evangelion Complete series- $60
So I found an awesome Gamestop in NYC, and picked up some games. I never owned Emerald, so I decided now was the time. Also never finished LTTP, so this fucker has been in my Micro since I picked it up. Loving it!
I picked up the MGS trilogy boxset last year, but Subsistence didn't come with the second disc. Major bummer. Now that I have it, I can finally play MG1 and MG2. Been looking forward to this for a long time
Finally, Evangelion. Found it for a great price at AN and picked it up. I've never watched the show, but have only heard great things, so I've decided to give it a view.
WHEW. Better take it easy with the spending now.

Vox-Pop said:Wow. How many pages? Was this a history senior research class? My thesis paper was only 16pgs.
Yup. Well, not a class. At my school (or should I say former school!) every student, regardless of major, can opt to do a yearlong independent study with one professor who knows the most about the suggested topic in place of additional upper level classes. At the beginning of the year my advisor told me anywhere from 50-85 pages when others were saying 30-60, and as I got further and further into the writing process she told me just to keep it under 100. Ended up with 95 after some severe editing :lol

Picked up a Hauppauge HD PVR for recording gameplay from my favorite games and such.
Here are the first few videos I made using the capture device:
Ridge Racer Turbo Mode:

Modern Warfare 2 "Crowded Skies" Montage
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YU45trnGwXM
The sucker puts out amazing high framerate captures. What you see in-game is what can be captured in a large video file. Youtube doesn't do it justice, my files had to be dumbed down to fit on their site.

Extremely. I already have a habit of walking on the balls of my foot so the transition wasn't that bad.WEGGLES said:
That said, the true test will be when I walk around Disneyland. :lol
My pick-ups over the last few weeks:
Some older games.
I can finally play a "Sakura Wars"-game without printing out hundreds of pages with the translation guide!
Just Cause 2 LE + SSFIV
DEUTSCHLAAAAAAND, DEUTSCHLAAAAAAAND....
Reading material.
Didn't dare to buy this game without the guide. :lol
Already finished this. Great game.
NIER for cheap, and I still have hope for AP.
And finally, I had this in the mail today:
Glad I put this game on hold after having only played about 16 hours.
I'm so happy that I can now play this with japanese voiceovers...I think I start again from the beginning (even though the chinese version is compatible with my european save files).
