The arc mouse is so extremely underrated. It is my favorite mouse of all time. Seriously. Not only is it easy to use, I think the design is top notch. I actually like the design of the arc over the magic mouse.

the explorer 3.0 the original with the big side button is my favorite of all time

the arc is amazingly comfortable, i have a hard time hitting the side button, but other than that i love it, it was on sale for 29

Amazing Canada 360 arcade sale.

Upgraded from a refurb component console to a jasper hdmi unit for $128. Considering a new wireless controller alone costs $49, that is a pretty amazing deal.

Got one also, awesome deal, except this is my first xbox unit. enjoy!
 
Woo! Pickups!

CIMG0074.jpg

My favorite Version of ninja gaiden. re-purchased as an impulse buy with store credit.

CIMG0073.jpg

Going to take a chance on it. I'm not brave enough to remove the shrink wrap yet, and I'm keeping the receipt.

CIMG0071.jpg

I love you best buy for sending this for $10. If I ever keep my 360 vertical, this is what I'll use. I have an SF4 one for the current positioning.

CIMG0070.jpg


This book is awesome. Even more awesome? Amazon sent me a $25 promotional credit because it was out of stock.

Then they shipped it. And it was only $15 to begin with! It's like getting paid to read! I haven't had that since BOOK IT

CIMG0068.jpg

Both were $20 at family video. was looking for tekken 6 too but no copies on sale there. Flashpoint is really good, and Saboteur is fun as well. Both well worth the asking price. Need to replace those eco-cases though..

CIMG0067.jpg

And my favorite Final Fantasy since part ocho! Wow! what a game!

I feel like I have too many 360 games. I'm kinda ashamed looking at my top shelf.

CIMG0076.jpg


So many cheap ones I've picked up recently.. I have to stop!

Amazing Nudie pick up!

Hi-five on the SJ's. :eek:

VGChampion said:
Open the guide. Unless you want to sell it someday there isn't any reason to keep it closed. I open all my stuff. Opened some sealed WoW CE's just to look at the contents even though I can't activate them anymore. :lol

Yeah, I think I'll open it up eventually. I'm not much of a "collector" as I like to use everything that I buy.

schild said:
Nice. I just picked up a pair of dry jeans I can destroy (Cheap Mondays) and a pair of Naked & Famous Grey Weird Guys. I was going to get Nudies, but honestly, I wreck blue jeans, so didn't want to drop the coin on blues for that much.

Edit: I'm about 3 weeks into another pair of N&F Selvedge, but now that I have 3 pairs I can start cycling, which is nice. I went down two pant sizes recently so my entire wardrobe is becoming stuff that's way too nice.

I'm thinking of getting another pair as well, so I can rotate between the two. I might just stick with a different cut of Nudies.

Sora_N said:
Wow that's a damn good price, is it some sort of clearance or is it a sale? I've been looking for cheap copies of Katamari PS3 and Disgaea 3 PS3. :(

I ordered it from Amazon but they seem to be out of stock at the moment. It was also on sale at GameStop for $19.99; it's gone up to $39.99 though.

cyclenut said:

You'd be hardpressed to find it online now unless you go the eBay route. I've seen some at my local GameStop but they're going for the $34.99 MSRP.
 
Ate a Morimoto's in Philly the other day...but my shitty phone's battery was dead, so I couldn't take any pics

Duck,Duck,Duck = awesome

There were a few of them still laying around at a gamestop I went to today.

Thanks. I'll check out my local one tomorrow. :)

Edit: Had to go to a couple gamestops but picked up their last one. :D

Are your liking your N900? If it wasn't that expensive I would get one too.
So far quite happy with it, latest firmware fixed the battery drain issue, yeah it's a bit on the costly side and the OS is still not ready for prime time, but I see it being more viable in the near future.

I've always neglected purchasing any games for my n64 (I only really own 3 games...007 and Mariokart is all I needed!). Me and the wife had company over a few weekends ago and they were asking if I had any easy multiplayer games (I do not own a Wii) and that the women loved the 64 (since it was easy to handle with one analog stick!). So I started doing some research and I really have been missing out on some pretty good games. Decided to start my new hobby for March last week.

I really would like to buy N900 but apparently Maemo is good as dead now that Meego showed up :mad:
 
I'm so tempted to get Pokemon now... I saw that post and ran to Amazon but it's too late to get it with the figures. =(

Did anyone order off of Amazon? How does release date delivery work with Nintendo's Sunday releases?

Invincible Volume 4: Head of the Class (Softcover) - $*

Went to a comic convention locally today, was really small, mostly just vendors and artists, but it was pretty cool. I'd have bought more but I was trying to get out of there before I spent bill money.
 
I just wanted to post some new pics with a better camera. Like I said, still needs some work. Thanks to Toy Soldier, I ordered a degausser to fix the screen issue.

On a side note, do you know of any manuals for converting machines like mine to a MAME cabinet? Like hooking up the controls and monitor to the PC, software to use, computers to use, ect.?

I'm sure someone knows more than me about this, but I'm assuming you can get a pcb from a gaming controller and then wire it to the controls. You could then just plug the game controllers into the PC. This way you could still use the computer as a computer if you really wanted to.

No idea how to connect the monitor to the pc though.

^^ there's tutorials on arcadecontrols.com. You'll need a few items to do it, but once you get it working correctly, its awesome.

EDIT: regarding the above post, you need a custom built pcb from ultimarc that will act as a bridge from the PC to the arcade.

This book might help

I know the xbox-scene forums have a shit ton of information using the xbox1 for conversion into one of these.

Cool man! Looks to be in pretty good shape. I am actually considering picking up an X-Men Children of the Atom cab that is located near me. The only bad thing is it's only the 2 player box, I would like the 4-player one. But I would like to convert it to a MAME machine, so let me know how yours goes.

Firstly I'd say "Dont do it!!" :lol , but it's your Cab and if thats what you want to do there is plenty of help out there :). I highly recommend going to a forum like ArcadeOtaku's and having a read through their Emulation forum about ArcadeVGA cards and what not, and maybe even asking some questions. The people there are very knowledgable about cabs and I'm sure would be able to help you out.

I don't think I am going to convert it. Hopefully the video that Toy Soldier gave me will fix the monitor.

Turns out under the paint this was originally a joust machine from Williams. So it is like 26 years old. Damn!
 
And for anyone with arcade machines (It would be awesome to make an arcade machine thread for NeoGaf!) the guy who Toy Soldier pointed me to has a ton of videos on youtube to get your machine in tip top shape. Made a huge difference in my picture quality. Here is the guys youtube page: http://www.youtube.com/user/varcadegames

Found all of this at the local flea market (swap shop) for a total of $30!
Everythings in great condition too!
The SNES game is BlaZeon: The Bio-Cyborg Challenge!

Been wanting to try out Shadowgate too, everyone here has been picking it up for some reason!

My first pick-ups of the month. Nothing special, just some Sony Earbuds that were on clearance at BB and some more PSN $.

Despite the main character being an unlikable douchebag, The Saboteur is surprisingly fun, I'm really enjoying it :)

...and I have my girlfriend (who is Chinese-American) to thank for introducing me to Chinese junk-food :D One of my favorite things we do together is when we venture to the various Asian-grocery stores in Cleveland, always an good time.
