It's huge, bigger than the LG G3. It's quick on its feet. It's snappy. For a 1080p phone, I'll take this over the Galaxy S5, Xperia Z2 or the One M8. The IPS screen is gorgeous, though when compared to that LG G3 1440p screen, it's edged out by the G3. Current build of CyanogenMod has the wallpaper glitch which blows out the image but not a big deal. The previous glitch about 4K video recording only in mono/single channel is now fixed, and the somewhat grainier video quality is fixed with the recent update. Comparing the two, LG G3 takes better more stabilised 4K video with its OIS+. They're also a fix for the apparent lag for the home button, which requires the activation of the developer mode.
I quickly turned off the hardware navigation button, and use the software navigation button (Back, Home, and Multitask buttons are of correct orientation on the software part, but hardware buttons are reversed).
All in all, great build quality and fantastic user experience, thanks to the very robust and customisable CyanogenMod UI. You can customise almost everything(from how icons look like to even the boot animation, from within the operating system) or nothing if you prefer the already lean and snappy default settings. Good thing about CyanogenMod is that it acts just like standard KitKat, with its own OTA updates.
Few pickups today. Dave Brubeck is mono, yum.
All were $3 each
I already have a copy of Final Fantasy XII, but liked the tin, and have Grandia II but not III.
Outrun 2 is always nice to have and I've never played much of the Assassins Creed games. Worth trying I or starting with II?

Yes we do they are in Oslo at the Oslo City mall. Oslo airport, Trondheim Airport and Bergen at Kjøttbasaren.
What game did you get for the download since you went ahead and bought Wind Waker?
Some on-sale Creative T10s, to replace my old discontinued ones (which had a separate sub). Nice sound quality, and a smaller footprint (not to mention a whole load of cables have now disappeared from behind the desk!).
Controller, for Watch Dogs driving...
Steam games - Mirror's Edge, The Bureau, Witcher 2 and Skyrim, each under £3.
Bought my daughter her own little arm chair - she absolutely loves it, and it's helping her first steps walking around.
Also bought some conti board to slot in a couple of extra shelves in the kitchen cupboards - makes a huge amount of difference when cooking.

Will probably pick Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate as my free game. When it comes to Nintendo I prefer to have physical copies of games I "care" about (if that makes any sense).
These are pick-ups between May and June
Got this for my brother-in-law
Digital copies of Mario Kart 8 and Pikmin 3
Phisical copies of Diablo 3 and ZoE HD
Got this for my brother-in-law
Playstation 3 World Cup Special Edition, includes:
* PS3 250GB
* 2014 FIFA World Cup Brasil for PS3

First ever set of MTG cards.
I have no idea what I'm doing.
Welcome to the dark side.
Life altering decision, welcome to the wonderful world of Persona 4!
Dude, such a good record. I bet it sounds amazing.
I have a really good stereo copy that I love, and that sounds amazing. The mono mix is supposed to be different enough to be worth having as well - hope to get to play it later this week.

June's been an excellent month for me, really excited for next July.
After months and months of looking at various laptops, I finally decided to go for the Sager NP7358. I was a bit skeptical, because the pictures I could find of it online didn't really impress me, but I'm more than happy with the actual product. The trackpad is kind of mediocre though.
My specs:
i7-4710MQ
Geforce GTX 860m
8gb of RAM
1 TB 7200RPM HDD
120 GB Crucial SSD
Oh, and not pictured:
The Wolf Among Us
Maybe Valiant Hearts (It looks great, I'm just not sure how much time I'll have to play it).

Yeah I actually like mono copies, they have a certain charm to them. I have a Miles Davis - Kind of Blue mono vinyl that is really fun to play.

I'm always so jealous of those who are experiencing a Persona game for the first time. I wish I could erase my memories of them and play through all over again with brand new eyes.
SwapForce starterpack was now 35 and came with a free Giants battlepack. Figured this was as cheap as it would get so I picked it up
New phone. Old one broke and I need one for work so I got a new cheap one. Works fine for what it is.
I've always been a huge Lego fan, so as soon as I got some disposable income as an adult I started collecting sets that I could never afford as a child. I'm pretty much done collecting castle & space sets so I started on the pirate line. This is one of the cheapest 'big' sets of the 1989 line and at 10 it was really a bargain. It isn't complete, missing some bits and pieces here and there, but the seller threw in some extra minifigs, weapons and palmtree so I won't complain.
I missed these little guys. Nostalgia <3

Some Xbox One pick ups
It was a kit that was sold on the main outlets here in Colombia because... you know... it's been 16 years since our National Team hasn't been in the final rounds of the World Cup and Sony knows that soccer games are system sellers in our country (believe it or not). That one was bought in Falabella, which added the yellow jersey (home) other outlets included the red jersey (away)
Holy shit I had that when I was a kid what year did that come out?I've always been a huge Lego fan, so as soon as I got some disposable income as an adult I started collecting sets that I could never afford as a child.

1989I had a pirate like this as well. So many memories flooding back
I had that exact set as a kid also. I would have been about 6/7.

Never played a Sim City game before, but I really loved the Sims when it first came out and I've always been curious about Sim City. This finally dropped to 9.99 so I figured why not.
Then, after less than 8 months of PS Plus just throwing games at me, I finally picked up a Vita..
Amazon had a crazy deal on the Assassins Creed bundle a few years back and I was always kicking myself for not pulling the trigger on it. I knew if I got a Vita it would have to be that white model. Found a seller on Ebay and I'm super hesitant about buying systems used, but the guy said mint and I took a chance. Luckily, he wasn't lying. Purchased a case, screen protector, Persona Golden and a 64gb memory card. My only gripe thus far is how much I suck at applying screen protectors. I'm literally off by a couple of centimeters and I'm tempted to peel it off and try again with the spare (I'm the reason they give you two screen protectors). Really enjoying it so far. Also haven't played a Persona game but I got it just off the strength of Gaf almost universally loving it. This should hold me over until Destiny comes out.

FINALLY was able to find those here in germany at a reasonable price. It was mostly unavailable since it launched in february, and if it was available somewhere it had an exorbitant pricetag.
May I ask where you got them from and how much you paid?
