Support NeoGAF

[comedy bomb]

I figured the 3DS launch would be an appropriate first post in these threads. =)

Holy crap you have a lot of DS games : o

 

[Shadybiz]

Got this the other day; I had read too many good things about it on Gaf to resist. Can't wait to play it!

And: Very cute dog.
Very cool idea for a book. I'll have to check that out someday.

New video card for crysis 2, and eventually witcher 2 and battlefield 3:

Old video card on top

XFX 4890 vs XFX 6950

 

[Weenerz]

Only a minimal upgrade

 

[woober]

Only a minimal upgrade

Heh, to be honest, the 4890 held up just fine in the crysis 2 demo on advanced settings. I just felt the itch to upgrade and I don't see any new cards coming out soon before battlefield 3 releases.

 

[neojubei]

Bought some iOS games.

In the same boat. Though I still have my Sapphire Toxic 5850 1GB, the 6950 seemed to good to pass up. I'll just move the 5850 to the second gamer pc. Crysis speaking, I really really want to pick it up, but the PC gamer in me is telling me to not do it until we get directx 11 support ;( I still can't see how Crytek said that they weren't going to ignore the PC community and do it right and still drop the ball.

Lol.

 

[Kobiekun]

Loving the 3DS so far.

How are the build quality on those slip-ons? I love buying them but they never tend to last very long due to really flimsy soles.

They are a step up from...Vans. Which doesn't say much since I absolutely dislike Vans (in terms of comfort and build quality). These boat shoes I bought are mostly for looks. If I plan to be out and about, walking all day, I probably wouldn't put these on. Also, the sole seems to be of the same material that is on another pair of RL shoes that I have. So any scuff marks that appear on the lower sole will be difficult to remove.

Chunky book. There`s two different versions of this book, or at least different wrappers, do you know if there is a difference between them?

Hmm, I don't know if there are two different versions but I do know that there are different covers for the US/UK version. I have the US version which is pictured and the UK version has the alien from Space Invaders.

 

[R3TRO]

Kameo was one of those nostalgia buys.

 

[overcast]

Another bad quality photo by me. I've seen Bebop previously, but I'm just now half way through trigun. Enjoying it

 

[Toy Soldier]

3DS, Pro Evo, SSFIV, Bust-a-Move, Pilotwings, and an Epic 4G with a rockin' Game Gripper.

It all pales in comparison to what Tuesday has in store. I I I wanna go-o-o to Best Buy-y-y and get my Brit on tonight.

 

[Iron_Scimitar]

Loving all these shiny 3DS'

 

[MarkMan]

My new 3DS case.

Picked up a newspaper:

Comes with two bigass stylus pens, too.

Birthdays are always fun, esp. when you turn 40. Does that make me the oldest Jr on GAF? :-D Here's my haul from today:

But by far the best, which will be consumed tonight with family and friends:

Also got a good wedge of cash and a copy of Crysis 2 (360) last week.

 

[Aguirre]

Antonio Carlos Jobim, The Man From Ipanema

The design of this is simply glorious. It also includes a small biography and some analysis of the lyrics of his songs my scholars.

 

[Stoffinator]

That's some good HDR lighting there. ;-]

 

[PalaceBrother]

Nice wine glass! I had four of those at one point, and they have all passed on to a better place.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Adding to my growing PS2 backlog with a drift racer I haven't played yet and another Gamera double feature

 

[Typographenia]

SH2/Bebop/Trigun

After my own heart~

Great pickups, enjoy them!

 

[Subterranean]

Got the first two seasons of Fringe.

What? No titty pics.

I love the smell of fresh vinyl in the morning.

 

[Stooo]

Take That Sing Star for the wife, Mirror's Edge was only £3, Killzone Helghast edition with the silly big helmet was only £39, Rockband 3, 2100 points for RB3 tunes, RR Type-4 was only 99p.

My first DSLR. Had a shot of a Nikon D70S for a few months but I much prefer the size of the Canon. Also got a camera bag and a couple of 8GB SD cards. I'll wait until I've got to grips with it before splashing out on another lens or two...

 

[Litflynt912]

My first DSLR.

Congrats and welcome...GREAT first camera to boot!
remember to jump into the Camera Threads in OT

We've been shooting for a while now and rocking a T1i...so you will have an abundance of power
stock lens?

1001 Video Games You Must Play Before You Die. General Editor: Tony Mott. 960 pages. $24
This book is gigantic. I skimmed through it really quick and it'll be a nice book to use on the throne (I can read it here and there). I do have a few criticisms, though. It would have been nice if a screenshot of all the games accompanied their corresponding write-ups. As you can see on the third picture above (with Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow), there isn't one for Dr. Kawashima's Brain Training. No big deal, though. Also, some of the screenshots aren't in-game...so some may be misleading. As for the selection of games, of course, there will be a lot of "where's X game?", but I was a bit disappointed that there wasn't more games from the 8-bit and 16-bit era. Half of the book had games from 2000-present. Regardless of me nitpicking, I'm sure this'll be a fun read. Just for fun, I did a quick count and I've played ~205 games out of 1001.

I just ordered that book. I like that kind of stuff.

I don't know why, but my brain says buy. So I did.

Same here, I'm waiting on the DX11 patch. In the meantime I'm trying to decide between retail or steam lol.

 

[Tashi]

Is that Carter figure by Square Enix?

It's very sexy.

 

[Ohwiseone]

Woo last home game before Playoffs, and on my Birthday, can't wait.

And Sorry for crappy Iphone Camera, All I got here at college.

Yes it is

Got this history of Nintendo handheld console postcard book from Japan Club Nintendo to commemorate the 3DS launch.

Each page has a postcard with one of the systems on a plain color background, then the last page is a 3DS with a twinkly lenticular background. There's also a little sticker sheet.

I love how the design of the 3DS is from 1982.

Welcome to the Canon EOS line!!

I was using a Rebel XSi (450D) for about 18 months and recently upgraded to a 7D and a nice 24-700 2.8L series lens. The lens made all the difference, take your time learning the DSLR in and out and maybe in several months or a year upgrade out of the kit lens.

The Canon EOS line is very good, you made a wise decision.

 

[Massa]

Not a handheld.

 

[Majine]

Portable my ass.

Hm. I can't look at the picture of the DS Phat there without thinking of Cartman.

 

[GotEmRunnin]

Nice wine glass! I had four of those at one point, and they have all passed on to a better place.

Funny that. My wife won't let me drink out this glass for that very same reason. It's 1 of 2 left from a 6 piece set we got as a wedding gift. My cup is not pictured as it's my lucky Exxon 64oz big gulp cup that I've had since my days at college. 1999 to be exact :/

[Konig94]

Awesome birthday gift.

Finally got an upgrade from my 20GB HDD.

I got this one a while ago, but I haven't had the chance to post it.

 

[FrankNitty]

Tangled 3D and You Can (Not) Advance 2.22 and a iPad 2 Clear Case, down side is I couldn't use he Smart Cover with it, but I fixed that lol

Here's what it looks like after I put the smart cover back on it.
