Got it on Friday, 16 gig version. I never had more then 5 or 6 gigs on my 3G at a time, no reason to go bigger. Love it SO MUCH. The 3G S hardware + the 3.0 software finally makes the iPhone feel complete.
Awe, I see you got it finally, sweet.
I haven't really had much time to play it yet, it has nice graphics and great music, but I get the feeling I'm going to be crap at it just like Last Hope which kicked my arse sideways and back. You can change the detail in the background so the bullets are easier to se, including an option for no background at all. It's pretty bare bones with just the arcade mode and some options but hey ho.Yes Boss! said:
Wow, I don't think I've bought any games this month, but it's been very top heavy :lol Here's what got on Friday-Saturday.
iPhone 3GS, picture taken with my original launch iPhone.
And on Saturday, a Taito Egret II. My first cab!
There's a lot of work to do on the panel, but other than that it's in great shape. We just moved in to this place last week, so it was best that I got it now while some areas are still a bit bare. I should have this thing up and running with games in roughly a month or less.

You win the thread this month!

Okay. So, from January to the beginning of June, I was on study abroad in Edinburgh, Scotland. I've posted most everything I picked up over in the UK, but what I haven't been able to share until now are the things that arrived for me at my place in the States while I was gone. Enjoy.
A rather unassuming little pile, with more Media Mail envelopes than I care to admit.
An envelope from Telltale Games! I wonder what could be inside...
Oh, yes. One of my favorite pickups overall.
A promotional EP I got for ordering Dark Was The Night- an awesome, original compilation that has its own NeoGAF thread.
Gladly doin' my part for the Wii. Great little game.
The box is a bit torn up, but I got this for ~$15 off eBay. Such a cool set.
Ah, yes. I ordered the Battlestar Sonatica piano score and the signed Pushing Daisies soundtrack, but I guess they just decided to throw in the Hulk score as well. Too bad it's not the Lonely Man Theme.
The many comestibles I brought home from ol' Blighty. Too bad most of these are designated as gifts for the family. Mmm, McVitie's...
Self-explanatory.
This was disappointing. Another eBay pickup, one on which I had no choice but to give positive feedback, sight unseen. Hey, people are inherently good, right? Not so. The cover, inserts, and disc labels all obviously came off an inkjet printer. I paid 5 bucks for a burned copy of Outlaws. Dirty eBay selling bastards...
Mmm, licensed games...
Oh, yeah.
Used from EB.
This is so cool. Most of you guys would probably know Don Hertzfeldt's work best from his Oscar-nominated short Rejected. The first DVD goes up through 2005, and the second is devoted to his "Everything Will Be OK." A true genius in animation. You guys should check it out.
I gave my first copy to my brother as a last-minute Christmas gift.
EXCITE
Well, what could this be...?
SOUNDTRACKS! And one of them's signed! Happy day!
Bought from another GAFfer (though I might have to cut my losses and buy Pikmin 2 again when it comes out as a Wii re-release).
Looks absolutely amazing on PC. God, such a great game. Also, Shakespeare. Hilarious Shakespeare, no less.
$8 shipped from Buy.com. Haven't gotten around to it yet. Should I?
This is just amazing. A double album full of new tracks from some absolutely spectacular artists, with proceeds going to support a worthy cause. God, I love music.
I now know the true story behind the Noodle Incident. Fear me.
"I said, Lady L, let your soul be free/You closed your eyes/And you wouldnt see, girl/The only one who could/Ease your pain was me"
Reminds me of Metroid Prime Hunters so far, and I'm not sure whether that's a good thing or not.
Local music from another awesome band.

I've got a couple more things to put up in the next couple days, but all in all, I'd call this a productive few months. Anyway.

No I mean, look at the case around the disc. Its different then normal UMD's. Normal UMD's have the white case that says PSP on it. This one is like see through.adg1034 said:
Mr Jared said:True. I keep walking into the room, pointing at it and shouting "SO AWESOME!" :lol
I just started blogging about it, and I plan to have it up and running in about a month. I'll post updates to the stick thread
Yes please! Hopefully we can get a cabinet thread started (or find the old one, if it exsists). Definitely interested in the Egret 2, might get one next year. My monitor arrived today and I've gotta go pick it up.
Oh yeah, my Seimitsu stick just came in for my Death Smiles EX. Now I can finally complete it. I picked a blue top because, well, I had to pick something...it will just go with all the other extra ones I've collected in a jar.

Man does this thing go like stink, they didn't have the colour I wanted though.
Id say. I certainly did a double take when i saw it on Yonge today. I dont know if it was your car or some one else's. But it certainly stands out, and not only because its a great car compared to most of what was on the road.

God, it is, isn't it? You know what, I'm not in a rush right now, but I might get it resprayed gunmetal next spring.
As to the track... mad respect to the guys who don't mind thrashing their car like that, but no, I spent way too much on this to take it to track days. I'd prefer something with alot cheaper of an insurance premium to do that with

Just after seeing that beautiful arcade cabinet, I was browsing my local Craigslist and came across this listing:
Up for sale is a used SEGA Virtual On: Cyber Troopers Arcade Game. This is a two player, double sit-down game where each player controls robot mechs. One or two players operate linked sit-down units, controlling one of eight robots in arena combat. Twin joystick control for each player with fire button mounted on top and trigger buttons on bottom. This game is in beautiful shape monitors work great and sound from both machines is crisp and clear. Can be adjusted for coin operation or free play. Pickup Only. $500.00.
If only I had an extra $500 laying around! Of all the times to be short on cash

Make that 3, hoi hoi san rules
Just got these in the mail. This will be my first time seeing them and have been meaning to since my high school years :lol This whole tour caught me by surprise. Luckily a random woman told me about this upcoming tour on the bus ride home from a nine inch nails show. I've seen APC and that concert was amazing (Thirteenth Step tour with Iha and Twiggy). I couldn't be more excited to see Tool play a live show.
