Gotta love a Lego set that comes double boxed and then shipped in an even bigger box. Now, I just need to resist the urge to open it and put it together...

No pictures since I don't own a camera.
However, I did pick a Nintendo 3DS today!!! So excited and I didn't know what games to buy. I picked up Samurai Warriors: Chronicles, Professor Layton and the Curious Village, and Dragon Quest IX just to have something new to play and pre-ordered a copy of The Legend of Zelda: OoT.

My cell phone is crap and hard to get a decent pic out of. Haven't messed around with the camera yet. I will probably update my post tomorrow then.

If you get a chance, some impressions of WKC Origins would be really appreciated. Seems very few places are reviewing/giving coverage to WKC 2, and even less Origins.
I actually purchased that stand back in 2006 when I purchased my first plasma. However, when I moved to my current house, I build a home theater with my TV mounted on the wall and all equipment behind glass in the wall. So, I just used this stand upstairs for my retro systems and it has served me well. Believe it or not I actually have a 27" Sony Wega (SDTV) sitting on top of it.Mithos said:
I think I purchased it at some local AV shop. I've seen similar stands floating around, though, so they aren't impossible to find. It's worked out very well for stuff like this, though. The stand was made to hold a 60" rear projection TV, so there is plenty of space!

not quite that much. about $275 actually. I want to keep it to resell it. I was going to buy a bunch of the giant Millenium Falcon but didn't and now that it is out of print it sells for triple it's original price now.

I would love to buy one of those giant Lego sets. But I'd need a man cave to hide it in once I'd built it to ensure no little hands touch it.

Jealous of the white PS2. I don't own a PS2 at all and never did, but if I came across a white model I'd snatch it up.

Ha, at least it was Last Stand that shattered, might as well burn that shit anyway.luffeN said:
To be brutally honest... It is not that great of an advancement. The idea behind the twist-able d-pad and how the setting change works is solid, but the problem arises from the shoddy craftsmanship preceding it.guest1321 said:
The side walls of the d-pad circle no longer present an issue, but the sound that the d-pad makes is horrible. It truly feels like you are holding a very cheap device, the surface is unnecessarily slippery and when you let the d-pad go from an angle, it makes a horrid clank-clank sound. For comparison: the d-pad on the DS3 is completely silent. There are more problems: the range of pressing the d-pad down is still very big and it is hard to recognize when you are doing it on purpose.
All in all: it is a step in the right direction, but only a step. The new concave analog sticks are a surprising improvement, I must admit. Lessons learned from the GameCube controller, wink-wink.
The original 360 controller had analog sticks with a relatively smooth surface, with four raised nubs in the principal directions. This was not the best solution, because the nubs got worn down - the northern-most first, then the others. This in turn made the analog sticks more slippery and the number of times you had to adjust the thumbs went up.guest1321 said:
The new controller no longer has any nubs. Instead, it has a circular embossed area in the middle of the stick, with a raised edge going all the way around it. This is a much better approach in my book, because your thumb now rests on the edge itself and there is a lot more friction, meaning less adjustments and inherently better control. Time will show if the new surface gets worn down as well.

I fucking hate you so much.
EVEN MORE because you got it for $275.

Can I come over and build it with you? I'll bring some Orange Crush.

Got these this week:
Target had SSFIV for PS3 in the bargain bin, so I grabbed it for just under $15. Also grabbed Back to the Future in sucky cheap 3 disc packaging for $15. Retail is $20. Told the dude in electronics that I read it was going to be $15 on Sunday and he went ahead and gave it to me for $15 today.

Nice. It'd be great to see the other other stuff. It's the retro items in these threads which always make them for me.
You've given me an urge to buy a white Saturn and Super Famicom!
