I was having a hard time deciding on which one to get, and then I remembered I had enough points for a GS $25 off coupon
me too, I heard that it's super hard.

I finally bought myself a Sega Saturn!
The console was in excellent condition, it's a Mark 1 model, but the controller is a Mark 2 model and a little worn down. I'm buying a new controller soon.
WELCOME TO THE CLUB!
The Pal cases are soooooooo much better than the US ones.. those damn bulky fragile things.
Congrats, it's a great card. Before you get a second make sure you have the proper monitor or setup to support it. I played bf3 end game this morning with one titan and sli disabled at 2560x1600, everything maxed and was pulling over 60fps. Without a overclock. But then again in crysis 3 I need both of them for Very High everything and SMAA 2x to get 55-60 so another can definitely help if you push them right.
Just sayin before you drop another 1k!

Thanks!
I'm amazed at the cases! Together with the manual they weigh a lot and feel really solid. So much better than the PS1 cases I broke lots of as younger. Will be taking so good care of this console.
There's a redesigned version of parallel worlds that lowers the difficulty and brings it in tune with the other zeldas.

Back from Tokyo with a bunch of stuff. Surprised I bought so little. Guess I just couldn't find some of the games I wanted at a reasonable price.
3 Soul Sacrifice Double Packs (1 for myself):
Boxed SFC games for 250yen each:
Loose SFC Carts:
Famicom games and some other stuff:
Awesome PS Vita sleeve for $6. Great padding and fits great:

Get my parcel from USA. 26 days in export and my forwarding company send it without insurance. Sorry about photo quality, I have no time to make proper photo when received it and no patience when returned to home after work.
What inside:
Ni No Kuni: CE: long waited pre-order from august. The package has some dent at the top, but inside all in mint condition. Started it yesterday after Star Ocean. This masterpiece will occupy my current week.
Sorcery: there was discount on amazon, so I grabbed one.
Kindle and cover: display is outstanding. Backlight is good too, but uniformity at the edges can be better. There is visible falloff at the bottom edge.
Nexus 4: after 8 years my old (first phone and only one) trusty Siemens CX70 started to fall apart. Body divided to two parts with big crack and if you not hold it gentle it will power-off. So from this, to nexus
This is my first smartphone and my first android experience. Until now I have only iOS experience at my job as programmer. But I was not able to even imagine, how big difference between them. Andorid way functional and robust. I always find something new in it; customization is pure freedom. So far it is best purchase in this year.
In real life Nexus 4 is far better than on pictures. Display is sharp, but colors lack brightness, compared to my IPS monitor and Vita. I know that it is firmware problem, but I don't want to jump from stock kernel(difference can be seen only after direct compare), hope Google will fix this in the future updates. Device is slick and wide; fits my hands without cripple them. I find only one problem so far: if I press a body at upper left corner it makes crack sound.
Google sell this device at 350$ price. In my country pricetag sets at 671$. Apple must learn from them, how to sell with 100% margin.
PULSE headset: overall ok. They sound more clear and brighter that my SS Syberia, but I don't like "in box" feelings and Syberia is king in comfortability. So I prefer Syberia for music and PC stuff. Using PULSE, when playing on PS3, because that double converting killing me (from RCA->male jack->female jack). I don't know how real, good headphones must sound, so read this with grain of salt.
Mud guard: long month with salty snow. Government thinks that add salt to snow is more smarter then clearing it. Salt can work to lower freezing temperature, but it pain in ass to wash it from bicycle and I am not saying how it is bad for metal part in cars. At least now this not fly to my mouth and face. Old mudguards (top peak too) was broken because of bad mount point. One with my leg (front-inner), and second with fork (front-front). New MG have some unique mounting system, so it will be harder to brake them.
Vita cable, Lens Pen and Giotto Air Blaster small (too small, had to buy a medium).

hell yeah splatter house
It's actually front lit by 4 LED lights at the bottom of the device, that's why there's slight shadowing on the bottom edge. If you hold it at the right angle you can see the 4 lights. The shadowing is a small trade off in my opinion, since backlighting feels really harsh on my eyes in dark settings.

For some reason I thought this was Tetris Battle Gaiden...
I was having a hard time deciding on which one to get, and then I remembered I had enough points for a GS $25 off coupon
What GTI you driving?
It's funny when I put something on the passenger seat and it tells me the seat belt isn't on. :/
Thanks! If you ever open it up there is a sweet lithograph in there that looks really good when framed.

Backlight is small addon, rather than selling point. It is nice to have, especially in places like train or places without good illumination.

I had a pretty swell birthday!
$75 Gift cards from Ann's parents.
(I already spent it all. lol)
SOL Republic Headband - Purple
(Got it from SOL themselves. Might use it for the demo in Weber State that I'll be doing soon.)
Rocksmith, Bayonetta, and Too Human for the Xbox 360.
(I thank the Tropes vs. Women videos for Bayonetta. Fantastic game.)

Finally got my hands on the Limited Edition set of the OVA. It comes with both Blu-Ray and DVD versions, an artbook and storyboard book, as well as a couple of Nendoroid Petit (BRS and Dead Master).

Haha, true! I remember thinking it looked a little bulky back in the day. But now (compared to first gen 360/PS3 and not forgetting the Xbox 1) it doesn't look that big. Really nice looking and the shiny black part has been preserved really well by the owner.
got this badboy!
Where?

Tomb Raider CE came today I'm so exciiiited~
Online at warehouseskateboards.com.
I would not even know where to find one here in my small town. My last skater was also and enjoi so I kept with it. Can't wait to take it out this weekend! More of a distance rider so I'm gonna go 8-10 miles this weekend and skate all over downtown Frederick.
Dat enjoi. I had no idea you skated! Nice to see other skaters on gafNew skateboard for MD, since I left my other one in California.
Update on the boxes: they're done! Had to thoroughly search two stores to find four wide EA Genesis boxes in decent shape. Sure they're ~20 years old, but people payed $60+ for these games, they gotta take better care of them!
Thanks to Bill Walsh College Football, two copies of Jungle Strike, and Madden 92' for making the sacrifice.

I'm so jelly I could spit.
Other than a DDR machine, one of my goals is to have enough disposable income to start collecting One Piece PoP figures.
Good on you. They're awesome!
