What time is it?
Huzzah! Congratulations!
I received Tokyo Jungle in the post today and decided to share my last few months of pickups.
I'd never seen Whisper of the Heart until this purchase. It's one of my favorite Ghibli movies now.
(sorry for being upside down Botinacula Sountrack!)
Finally retired my WRT54G. You served me well for 8(?) years. I'll miss you tomato firmware. My IP phone was just too much for you to handle.
Time to give Tokyo Jungle a whirl.
Excited, ordered it yesterday and it arrived today, and I didn't pay for Saturday shipping, sometimes Amazon really comes through. You too, UPS. Diablo mouse is actually really solid, comfortable and am really liking it so far. Obviously the video card doesn't make much of a difference in Diablo 3, but it's nice seeing BF3 and Skyrim in Ultra settings with 60fps.
Now, I need a Network Interface card (Any recommendations?) and a second Acer 23' monitor, and I'll be in business...and even farther down the road, a new Case with better cable management, my current setup is a mess.
And undoubtedly my biggest news, my new apartment. The wife and I have both received jobs in Orlando and are moving there from Savannah next month. We managed to find an elderly couple looking to rent to take over our house long term and that solves the selling problem, for now! Very excited!

My friend and I picked up a lot of beer, and will proceed to consume it while driving drunk...in GT5.

...Blimey. What's wrong with black electronics like everyone else?
Uhh, the ability to get other colors I like better? Maybe I don't want to be like everyone else...
Chesky I know we're friends but I'm sorry. I have to rob you.

Cool, congrats. That area gets pretty busy around the holidays, but its very nice. Welcome soon to Orlando!
Thank you, my wife is absolutely obsessed with Walt Disney World, so I am sure I'll be spending a lot of time at the parks, but I love the Orlando area.
Birthday loot! Also got $100 in Amazon GC's and a check from my mom.
(My young nephews gave me the $2, coolest gift ever
Blow Your Pants Off is sooo good! I'm in love with Neil Young's "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" and Walk of Shame is pretty funny too!
Ordered this back in May and got it at the start of this month. Works like a charm so far. The screen is excellent so I decided to add a few Blu-Ray sets.
I also got Disgaea 3 yesterday at a GameStop sale. They also had Disgaea 4 but it wasn't part of the sale and it is one of the more expensive games they have for some reason.

Took advantage of Best Buy's 100% trade-in bonus last weekend and cleared out all my old games. Paid for most of the iPad, which I've always wanted. Holy smokes what an awesome device. I've been in iOS gaming heaven for the last week.
Then after using the iPad I became really unhappy with my Droid X, as it had become seriously janky as of late.
My first Apple purchases since the original Shuffle. I must say it is a really elegant experience compared to what I have been used to.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I was at a gaming con over the weekend, got a pretty decent haul. Plus my Gungnir copy came in the mail.
Nice. Always wanted to play the Sakura Taisen series, but... yeah, I can't read it
Then again, I still haven't bought the ST game that came out in the US, so I guess I should just blame myself.

Welcome friend, welcome.
Went to the denver comic-con and got to meet J. Scott Campbell. He's a super chill dude and took tons of time to just talk with fans. I was surprised, because he had a small booth set up. I almost missed him.
Got all of these signed.
One of my favorite artists, awesome!

How reasonable?
£70. I've seen them go for over £100 recently.

Where can I get those chrome controllers for the Xbox?
My 'Toy Story' Mondo poster finally came!
#90! Weirdly enough I have two other posters that are #90!
I love prints like that. I have a few myself. I should be getting 2 more in the mail tomorrow Who is the artist and where did you order it from?

Kudos to you, liposome, but I do hate you just a little bit. I've been searching the Goodwills around here for somewhere around 15 years and the best gaming related items I've ever found are a few SNES games.
Everytime i see goodwill hauls like this i want to commit suicide.My first pick-up post! Went to the Goodwill on a whim and found these:
I think I'll be visiting there more often.
Been goodwilling for almost 5 years now and have yet to find anything decent, mostly sports titles and overpriced original xbox's.
Amazing haul and i want to rob you.
Couldn't believe it myself, man. All of them were just there on a shelf. Stuff like this usually doesn't happen to me. Walked over to the register with the biggest smile on my face. Cashier even gave me 15% off the games and the N64. Receipt below:
Just moved into the neighborhood, and went there with no expectations. They even had unused (but discontinued) furniture from Target in there (bought a couple of pieces for the SO). Definitely going back there again.

EXACTLY THIS! The best thing I found was Motorstorm. That's it. Everything else is as you said: sports games and overpriced xbox games.
-sigh-
Whoever gave all those games to goodwill is crazy. Those games would've gotten a decent price.
Rygar 8 Bit
Jaguar 64-bit
ugh just bought ff8 and 9 for 10 each and bought megaman legends a while ago for 30 boooo but nice find god damn
Last Month's Stuff
Ghost Talker's Daydream Vol. 6 Don't know why it took me so long to pick this up, Ninja Girls Vol. 9 and Rohan at the Louvre. Man I love Araki's art
May be the only person that thought John Carter was fantastic, never saw the last two Underworld movies and the box was cheap so what the hell, I absolutely hate Sucker Punch and think it might possibly be one of the worst movies I've ever seen and yet I bought it cause it's pretty, go figure.
Yakuza Dead Souls on sale from Newegg, couldn't pass it up and glad I decided to bite on the 3DS card case when I did since it's no longer available on Club Nintendo
*sigh* My brother got me into "the shoe game" this month and I picked up these bad boys. Jordan 4 Retro Military Blue. Glad I was able to get these but was unable to snag a pair of the Air Yeezy 2s
I love Chucks so I bought another pair.
Late to the party on Cards Against Humanity but jumped on them when they were back in-stock. Stupid expensive ass ink
Hangover II Best Buy steel book I got for cheap, I know Ghost Rider Spirit of Vengeance isn't an Oscar winner but I pick up every comicbook movie, & Unlimited Blade Works yay!
Lollipop Chainsaw might be my favorite game so far this year! Went with the physical copy for Gungnir since it's not Vita compatible, Operation Raccoon City while a turd is worth the $17.99 I paid for it, Gravity Rush is fantastic!
Recommended by Turvy so I picked it up
More Unicorn is always a good thing, haven't seen Chronicle but I hear good things so I picked it up, Hidamari Sketch xSP, and I already own the collector's edition DVD for Sin City but for $5 I'll gladly purchase the Blu-ray
*sigh* Impulse buy for me while I was at Best Buy picking up Chronicle & Sin City. This will be my 5th DS I think? Anyway, I'm loving it and can't wait to play Pokemon Conquest this week on it!

Brand new unopened Silhouette Mirage! Yeah it's the ps1 version and not the Saturn version but I think it's still good and it was cheap!

Wait, Goodwill sells games!?
Goodwill sells anything people donate. Well, maybe not porn.
