Hold on, I need to pick my jaw back up from the desk.

Went full-on geek with this game.

^ Awesome poster.

I bought my copy in May, but I just got it in my hands today. So good, but looks like crap on my 1080p Asus monitor through VGA. Will try it on a CRT later.

I am selling my 580s. Already have a buyer for one and am working on the other. If those sell for what I'm asking it will come out to a difference of $250 or so for the 690. Also have a potential buyer in my 3D monitor so that would help some too. Felt I had to get off of 1080p to let my GPUs shine.

Final pic of it in my case:

Nice card, kinda surprised there's no backplate..

That is absolutely beautiful! I have the Mark III battle damaged suit and it's displayed proudly. I'm holding out for Hot Toy's Dark Knight Rises' Batman; I missed out on the DX Bats

Waited a long time for this, but to summarize a quote from you couple of months back:

I'm content with my 580's. I'm done upgrading my PC for now. I probably won't be upgrading anytime soon.

So now time for me to be petty and jealous, and say I told you so.

I told you so. *I'm really jealous and it looks awesome* congrats.

 

[Souther]

A lot of nice stuff in this thread. Enjoying everybody's pick-ups.

oh my god LOL

I held out as long as I could, but with the gk110 not even hitting this year went ahead and made the jump. 690 is an amazing card and my office area is SO much cooler than it was with the 580s. Right now I don't even need to overclock it since just about every game runs at max settings @ 2560x1600, 60fps. I'm limited at 60 anyway because of the monitor.

Thanks for compliments, and you really did make me lol with that quote. Also funny how I pretty much said the same thing 3 different ways in the quote. Was really trying to reason with myself to not do it lol

Nice card, kinda surprised there's no backplate..

You and a lot of other people. Most expensive card in their lineup, no backplate. Buy standard 680, can get the backplate. Logic, where is it.

 

[Infinitemadness]

Damn, I have Miranda coming on Monday - looks like I'm going to have to do some work on her. I was already planning on redoing the white outfit because the wash they put on it just makes it look dirty.

What do you think of the rest?

Much easier to sculpt aliens than people. I really like how everyone else turned out. Worth a pick up.

I've been enjoying your posts. Curious if you're just restocking a collection you once had or are playing all these for the first time?

have to replace everything i had i used to have a pretty big collection but had to sell off everything for financial reasons during last gen era but now that i have a steady job ive just been rebuilding my collection usually buy something every day now its pretty great

 

[plc268]

Got me another SSD that I will exclusively use for games.

And saw these Oreos at the store yesterday, had to give them a try. They're pretty damn good...

Oh, and picked up this keyboard. It's backlit (blue) and chiclet style. It's not bad, but not as quiet as my old logitech illuminated keyboard.

Ah... very cool. So using eBay mainly or other options also?

I've rebuilt my collection over the last five years or so as well having gone through a phase where I was using a lot of sales to finance new games instead. I may be selling some soon, but when I see posts like yours, then it makes me want to hold onto everything. lol!

 

[Hieberrr]

Quick couple pick-ups.

New Wallet. Old leather one was about 10 years old, so I figured I'd go with something a little more colorful.

Nice.

Amazon Sale.

Holy crap, I gotta get one of those wallets!

 

[Router]

Not gaming goods. But maybe you can relate it to GT 5???

Niiiice I was sick of waiting for the 86 so I picked up a Veloster instead. I'll be trading in for the 86 at the end of the year.

i use estarland mostly or hit up a yard sale or sometimes thrift stores and as for selling your stuff id think hard about it if you have something rare or hard to come by you might regret selling it later on

The wait was maddening. I was close to caving on more than one occasion. But the wait was worth it.

For those asking for a review.........

Thank you.

Holy crap, where did you get one of the Andrew Ryan figures? I thought they only gave those to the Dev team. /jelly

 

[IronRinn]

Both the Andrew Ryan statue and Murder of Crows Vigor replica are for sale on Irrational's site.

Wish the MoCs wasn't so expensive.

Amazon sale:

Also I finally bought a tripod for my camera, not pictured...

 

[The Grim Heaper]

How much was the Vigor replica? I can't find it on the site so I'm assuming it sold out already.

 

[iNvid02]

i really should have took a pic, this is possibly the lamest pickup shot here but i just shoved this thing straight into the pc when i got it

 

[MG310]

A model of the very model of a Scientist Salarian. Miranda is kinda meh - face seems a bit pinched and smaller than it should be plus her head and hair are one solid piece. Mordin is pretty nice though.

omg, my set is coming soon and Miranda looks hideous. the quality looks even worse than series 1.

 

[MG310]

Yeah, they put a pretty bad black wash on her that makes her entire outfit look dirty. That pic is after I put a coat of white over it. Sadly Mordin's jacket has it too.Future clothing should be as pristine looking as possible so a wash wasn't the answer.

Wish they would have spent less time with the wash and more time matching the great skin color Miranda has on her face on her chest/neck - it's super pink from painting over the white body color.

 

[JEKKI]

whooo~!!! I went to E3 today!! came back with a few shirts:

gonna go back tomorrow too!!

 

[Brick]

It was under the Collectibles section earlier today, but it looks like it's gone now. Was listed at $500.

It's no BRZ guys, but I traded* in my faithful 94 Camry XLE bad boy for this toy I coveted so long ago:

Late to the 3DS party, but better late than never. Grabbed used Ambassador 3DS for cheap.

Also, putting my Project Diva wrist strap in good use. It's like made for the system.

 

[Dynamic3]

What model is that? Thanks.

 

[TheLegendOfMart]

Oh, and picked up this keyboard. It's backlit (blue) and chiclet style. It's not bad, but not as quiet as my old logitech illuminated keyboard.

[Jucksalbe]

Late to the 3DS party, but better late than never. Grabbed used Ambassador 3DS for cheap.

Did they change the design of the 3DS a little bit? My 3DS (launch console) doesn't have those little indentations (is that the right word?) around the cameras.
