What? a pair of ear buds cost more than a psp?

They are one of the best pairs of in-ear headphones you can buy. Each bud has 2 woofers and a tweeter inside.

The sound that comes out them is amazing. It's like having a concert hall inside your skull:lol

You buy three books and get the fourth for free (the free book is the cheapest of the four). I don't see any big promotion on their website so I'm not sure if it's online.

Its by the same guys that made 2210, so its five years (or five epochs in this case). And then you have gods as leaders each with their own bonuses in play.

Instead of a moon, it has a heaven and the underworld. Armies that die on earth go to heaven as reserves to attack territories in the underworld. You can fight over crypts that allow armies to come back to earth at temples you control, or altars that give bonuses to Godswars. Armies that die in the underworld go back to your regular reserves.

Whenever gods clash in battle, a Godswar must first happen where you would roll three die each and sum the totals of the die numbers along with the number of armies of the attacking and defending territories (ie, roll a 3+4+5, w/ 4 armies = 16 total score). Winning a Godswar kills a god that was on the line, thus killing the ability to use any cards for that god.

If you have a God of Death out and it kills an army, they go straight back to their reserve, preventing your enemy from building up reserves for heaven. Or using a God of Sky lets you use an additional die for any Godswars it participates in. God of War lets you win any ties, and God of Magic lets you re-roll any 1's (again only if the god is participating).

There are also now plagues. Similar to the nukes in 2210, theyre placed on certain spots of the map. Theyre main difference is that armies can occupy these spots, but half of any invading armies that move into it are automatically killed. With that in mind, a single army could probably hold a plagued territory indefinitely.

But yea, pretty cool stuff. Theres even a chance to sink Atlantis, sending all armies on that continent straight to heaven.

My friends and I bought this today, took about 3 hours to set everything up and begin our first turn, we played 1 turn then stopped, we'll pick it up tomorrow.

It's so much more confusing than regular Risk. :lol

I really hope you dont wear those...

do u kno how much money coca cola spends for you to see their logo like 100 times a day???

you really dont needa help their cause... especially if you arent making any money off of it.

like right now even as I quote your image I feel like a tool having to help them.

like I'm part of the problem now.... such a hypocrite I am.

lol... no animosity towards u tho... I'm jus saying... :D :D :D

eBay my friend! Contacted a seller and struck a deal with him. Because he lived near a store I got the 3 t-shirts I wanted in the size I wanted for AU$80 including shipping. Great tees, fits so well! :D

Got it on launch. Ordered the US limited edition, but couldn't wait...

IMG_003.jpg


A big 'fuck you' to Gamestop.com for dicking me around. I preordered it, but 5 days after release I emailed them because it hadn't shipped. They're response was that they were unable to process to my credit card and that emailed me to inform me of it -- which somehow I did not receive. Told them where to go and got it from eBay instead. Keeping this puppy sealed.

Popcorn Hour media player. One of the best investments I've made. Going to pick a HDD for it sometime this week.

u serious??? -_- it's actually very different,

gaming industry is a very different industry than coca cola,

as gamers it's something we love and something we want to share about with other people so we're a lot more motivated to spread that sentiment without remorse.

It can be with friends or with organized groups and events.

we can look at sales figures every week or so and be like "wtf Boom Blox only 30K?" but we're never gonna be like "oh no! coca cola sales are down! they must not be force feeding us advertising enough!!"

game marketers put a lot of love and energy into the games they make.... or some of them do. If they want us to play their games, and we do and enjoy it, then we want others to play it as well so we can share a similar experience. With coke it's been the exact same product for years and we're constantly being reminded that we still need this product. It wont offer us a fresh experience but it doesnt matter becoz they'll find a way for us to consume it over and over again.

if game marketing were comparable to soft drinks, then all of you would still be at the arcade playing Street Fighter II. That's not tru tho so it's up to me to rock a street fighter shirt to remind you about how awesome this game is becoz the advertising budget capcom has for this game is nothing compared to coke's.

lol, something like that i guess.... so off topic :D

This is a new artbook by Kazuma Kaneko, Atlus' character designer.. this one is specifically about SMT: Nocturne, but also has a few bits on the remakes of the original Super Famicom Megaten games. Gorgeous!

PS. I hope nobody minds the big pictures.

Got this today, another gift from me brother - got it for free xD Whole pack of 12 cans, pretty decent seeming how there more than a £1 each normally. Shame it was the normal kind of Relentless but still I like the fruit version.

Those Sony Mini Drives are awesome, a bit slow with writing but still great, i've had mine for nearly 2 years. One cool feature, it's water proof, mines been in the washing machine at least 5 times, still works!

I got this in the post the other day, colors look washed out because of my camera. Was only £2 which is about $4.
