3 new Manhua. Really like this. Wonder why europe and america wont release more. I think the art is more or less far better than a lot of manga offer.

Does that mean you have 12 PS4 preorders with Gamestop? Because if that's so I heard that they've caught on to that and are calling the people who have multiple preorders through different stores and telling them they'll have to offer a refund for all but one reserve.

No, no, i'm not one of those assholes. It's just the number in line i am for each console for 1st day shipment. I'd never do that...

The game boy color version of MGS is a nice snag, very under appreciated in my opinion.

The Witcher 1 + 2 only 9,5€ is an awesome steam sale.
I always have been interested in this franchise, time to prepare for 3rd itineration for PS4.

Same as everyone else except I had planned on just renting it until I saw the hype wagon and was to late for the comic book version. :( Hopefully it's available separately as I am a zombie/apocalypse nerd.
Not pictured:

Built some shelves today with a mate.

I dislike pre-built or flatpack bookshelves for games and movies because they are way too deep resulting in wasted space and extra dusting.

Fuck that noise, It's Tool Time. Particle board? MDF? Ain't nobody got time for that shit. Pine and man sweat.

My Tokyo Drift HD-DVD has a new home.

these look really good, im kinda in the same situation where i really dont like any book cases/bluray storage shelves and have thought about either building a case like that or just installing wall shelves

My Lumia 920 was getting on my tits, awful experience. So I picked up an iPhone 5, tide me over to the 5s or the 6, we'll see.

Been through a few phones lately but I have realized the iPhone is just better.

just curious why did you not like the 920? I have been an iPhone user since the OG iPhone but I have been debating on picking up a WP8 phone and looked at the 920

Well, for the longest time I was suffering with a ton of phone soft-freezes. Basically when you were browsing or even just navigating the OS, it would stop responding. So you had to turn off the screen and then back on. It would also start seeing one-finger input as multi-finger input meaning you were zooming instead of scrolling etc. That appear to have been fixed in the latest update.

Then you have the app store which is a barren wasteland of shit, extremely few quality Apps that aren't made by Nokia for the phone. My friends with Android and iOs were always saying I needed to check out this app and that game, however NONE of them were on the store. Always some alternative ugly ass looking applications with barely half the functionality and not a shred of intuitive design.

Insane battery usage with data turned on. One day with the phone on standby for the entire day I reached 9 hours from a full charge. Without data you can go 6 days with minimal usage. So the last few months I've had to constantly navigate the menus to turn on / off data when I was home, out, not using it etc.

Too many app crashes and freezes. Image being out on a long ass walk or bike run with Endomondo running, so I wanted to change tunes on the phone and it spassed out, couldn't open Endomondo for 5-10 minutes because it just closed again and when I finally got it open, stats gone. Happened 3 times in a month.

It gets way, way too hot doing the most simple tasks. Browsing the internet can make it super hot on the back, I was out for a walk listening to some music and got it out of the pocket -- Never felt a phone that hot.

The GPS is ultra-ultra slow at finding a satellite with this phone. The Galaxy S3 and iPhone 4 I had before could find one in 10 seconds MAX. The Lumia could take 2-3 minutes sometimes.

I never had problems typing on my iPhone or Galaxy S3, however the Lumia for some reason was a nightmare. I ALWAYS seemed to hit the wrong buttons, I constantly had to delete and correct plus the Danish dictionary was pretty dismal at times.

Browser is awful. Connected to my Wifi and 170 Mbit connection, thing could take ages to load a simple page. Like navigating to GAF, it just sits for several seconds with some low-res version of the page running in the background. You can scroll but not click ... Then it looks normal and you can browse. Oh and GIF heavy sites / threads crash the browser.

It had a tendency when you pulled out the ear-plug cord to just keep playing. On all my other phones, you usually just yank the cord and the phone goes silent with whatever you were playing. Here, it often just keeps playing which can be quite embarrassing when in some public place. So you have to take it out of your pocket, stop the music, back in the pocket. To me, that's a major nuisance.

I could probably add a lot more niggles and flaws that annoy you when using the phone but I think those are my key points. However I still think the phone is beautiful and it's a real shame I have to ditch it.

I just totally love it, I spent one year with Android, Samsung and HTC phones, but damn, iPhone is just better.
One thing I noticed is that the black model scratches really easliy. When I took it out of the box it already had few scuffs, and everyday there is more of them. Love a design of black iPhone, but if I had second choice, I would propably go with white unit.
Still, awesome phone.

This thread is probably going to get a lot of these, but here is what I got in the mail yesterday:


Also, I parted way with the Pokemon Red and Blue version when I was a kid and had a chance to pick those up, which I did. I needed to get the Yellow gameboy color to play them on. I also got the Steelbook edition of Scarface at Target for $12. I thought it was a great deal.

I feel like I already posted these... but I don't think I did?

Anyway some New Balance 420's on clearance for $40. I ordered a pair of orange ones too. Comfy!
