You, uh... you like water?
Congratulations! Hey, you're not the only one who feels a bit of buyer's remorse when you're dropping a ton of money in one go. After a while, you'll probably think "that was the best purchase I've made". Besides, you're going to have a fun time filling it with things you love.I actually moved into a new place less than a year ago and just replaced the blinds in my house today and man, it feels good. *laughs*
Oh, I know, it's amazing! I'm going to be pretty broke for a while but it's going to be worth it. Will be moving back closer to family and close to work too. No more 90 minute trips to work each morning, it's a 5 minute walk

I got a whole mess of stuff between the last week of February and now but haven't had a chance to post it til now:
-I finally tracked down the last two volumes of Twisted ToyFare Theatre I needed for a full set.
-I found the Super Advantage & DKC3 Guide at Half-Price Books and the Twilight Zone novel at a thrift shop.
-I got all of these movies/shows on sale from various stores/sites. I was especially happy to find the Ray Harryhausen set (which is new & sealed) for only $29.99!
-I got all of these great shows/movies super-cheap.
-My Club Nintendo Luigi statue finally showed up, I stocked up on eShop credit while it was on-sale at Best Buy, and I tracked down a Guitar Hero: On Tour promo case which fits on my shelf much better than the big, cardboard retail box.
-I've always wanted to play the Granstream Saga and nabbed this copy cheap on eBay.
-Lots of great stuff to play!
-Nabbed 2 more N64 games for my collection for great prices on eBay.
-I got these repro/store display boxes for a few loose SNES carts I had in my collection - they're great quality!
-I got all of these GBC games super-cheap at Half-Price Books and was excited to find another Game & Watch at Goodwill to add to my collection!

30 USD. No tax, CRV, and delivered to my front door.
how much?
how much?
Took the first steps to buying this yesterday:
Paid the registration fees and agreed the mortgage. Paying the deposit next.
After signing the paperwork I spent the day going from feeling super excited to extremely sick and back again.
Got a little knocked off, so it was £87,995. Using the Help to Buy scheme too.
So that's around 200k USD.
Not bad. Condo or apartment? Hopefully you are in a nice neighborhood.
At least you have a home to call home
2 bedroom apartment. Can't wait to get moving in.

Not bad at all. You could rent the other one out to a trusted friend. Recoup your monthly payments
I'm envious about the uk's housing. Almost anyone with a decent Jo. Can buy a home. Not like here in the states.

I wouldn't be envious of housing in the uk at all. It is just like anywhere else. Location, location, location. I moved to the usa last year and can say I will have an easier time getting a nice house here than the uk.

Oh shit. When did you find Ridge Racer on clearance?
It's more to do with being in a town in the north west. Would cost a heck of a lot more in the south.
Asked a friend if he wanted the second room, he's said he doubts it. Said he can come look if he wants. The rest of my friends are all set up for homes. So fingers crossed my mate changes his mind.

I found it at my local Target a week or two ago.
I'm not sure if it's a nationwide drop b/c it was tagged 'AS-IS' - it might've been an online return or something.
Water>Every drink for me basically. I know why he loves it
Of course, but water comes out of the tap, you know!
Hot tea beats water by a wide margin, btw.
Went to the FFX event on Saturday an waited for over 6 hours and just missed out on being able to purchase a copy of the game signed by Kitase, so I didnt go home with the game, but I got a mean sunburn.
However I was able to pick up something else FF related in the art exhibit.
It's an ukiyo-e style print signed by the artist. Hard to see but its actually on a papyrus like paper I believe is called "kozo" in Japanese. Sorry for the horrible iPad photo.

Sweet, that box art still looks so badass, I owned it at one time but I think it was one of the games that my little sister loaned to a friend of hers that never game them back, along with Super Dodge Ball.

That is unforgivable. I assume you no longer speak to your sister.
Don't think I don't see that MGSV in the background too (I guess EUR too too?)
Just how!? HOWW?!
Thankfully for me, ShopTo are processing inFamous/MGSV orders now and shipping them on wednesday, so seems like thursday these are coming for me

that sucks both games are amazing and a little pricey
It still hurts a little, haha! Especially Super Dodge Ball though since it had so much replay value

That's one sexy SLI bridge.Got my EVGA Pro SLI bridge for my 780TIs
The EVGA logo glows on the 700 series cards I believe. Had a standard ASUS bridge before. Worked fine, but my cards are EVGA so it bugged me a bit

A sign of things to come:
And some sweets for when I'm playing/watching tv.
Whats the flavour of the kit kat to the right?
Looks like a mcdonalds cheezeburger!

The package says Azuki Sandwich. ;-)
I think it's supposed to mimic the flavour of a sweet red bean sandwich.
That is correct.
It's actually quite tasty as well, but my favourite one was the wasabi one.
The taste was nowhere near as strong as I was expecting. My buddy couldn't stand it though. Lol
The hot Japanese chilli one I really couldn't stand though. The very spicy taste combined with milk chocolate just wasn't my thing.
The milk pocky is heavenly though. Will certainly order more of those in the future, but I want to test out some other flavours as well.
Those sweets are very nice as well, great taste and they seem to be scented or something. Hard to explain.
I agree. Looks really good with the cards. Wasn't needed and is purely for aesthetic reasons. $30 for a SLI bridge, but I went down the rabbit hole with my machine a long time ago
I want this ;__;
