Yea it's an amazing car, love that there's no turbo lag, love the gearbox (super easy to shift) compared to my brother's G35 which is like shifting concrete, there hasn't been one fault to the car for me yet. I guess that's because I'm coming from a Honda Civic, but I drive my brother G35 sometimes so I'm still feeling this way and that's a superb car.

You can't buy a GTI and not get manual
, I learned stick on my brother's G35 and when I fired up my GTI, I drove it like i've been driving stick my entire life, it's so smooth and precise.

Have you watched DBZ Kai yet? I have it on my Netflix Queue and was wondering if it is a huge improvement over the Season Set DVDs that were released a while ago.InfiniteNine said:Bluray + 360 haul.

It isn't a HUGE improvement visually just some pretty good clean up, but things flow a lot smoother episode/story wise. The English VA's seem to be pretty much the same from DBZ just in case you want to watch it with English dubs.Definitely enjoyable, since my roommates jumped in and watched the whole thing with me. Also keep in mind the Japanese broadcast was cropped from the top and bottom so it's 4:3 aspect ratio, and the DVD's are cropped while the Blu-Ray is displayed with it's full picture.Big Papa Husker said:

- Two pairs of cargo shorts from Aeropostale. All the other pairs of shorts I own are too small for me. I've put on a bit too much weight. D=
- Kingdom Hearts shirt. The only one I've really liked so far.
A few more May pick-ups for me:
GTA IV: Liberty Stories - PS3
Red Dead Redemption - PS3
BTW, how is the multiplayer in RDR? Is the whole "posse" thing really cool or just so-so?
Has anyone been able to take down an Rockstar employee for that trophy / achievement yet?
Alan Wake LE - Xbox 360
AW still scheduled for a PC release, right?

And so I discover the woes of buying used blind off Gamestop...
Given that it was the only affordable way to get the games in my region* (and even at that I had to wait for them all to be at stock, at the same time**) beggars can't really be choosers I guess (the £1=$1.43 exchange rate was less than stellar but the 20% off used games code goes some way to fixing that). Onto the games (as 2 of them might not be clear):
WordJong Party, Octomana and Ultimate Shooting Collection. I only just realised this is a Compile themed pick-up (Octomania is developed by Compile Heart an offshoot of Compile and Ultimate Shooting Collection is developed by Milestone who again are an offshoot of Compile).
*-Well, Octomania was supposed to come out last April but it keeps being pushed back and I got fed up waiting (plus the previous times this has happened it ends with the European release being quietly canceled). Shame as the European box art is...different
**-When shipping is $15 and an order can hold between $25 to $30 (shipping isn't part of the package value) without incurring customs (VAT+whatever UPS charge for paying VAT) its best to make orders that fit that as tightly as possible.

I really want this, but can't justify the MSRP. Gotta wait for the inevitable price drop.

The car in question: 2010 GTI MKVI
http://img576.imageshack.us/img576/2307/gti3.jpg
*is jealous*
I'm feeling the itch to get a new car and this looks fun to drive. At the very least, I'll have a few months to think about it. Thanks for reigniting my interest in the GTI.
Classic Controller Pro. Wii. $20.
To play Monster Hunter Tri with. The handles seem like a huge upgrade from the original Classic Controller.
Nintendo Magic: Winning the Videogame Wars. Osamu Inoue. $13.
Became interested in this book after this thread. I'm about a third into the book and it's a fun read. At this point, I'd definitely recommend a read-through for those interested in the side of Nintendo you don't see often.
Luigi's Mansion. GameCube. $11.
Raiden III. Playstation 2. $12.
I've been trying to catch up with games that I've always wanted to play but never got around to. I bought a GameCube a week after its release along with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II: Rogue Leader (instead of Luigi's Mansion). By the time Super Smash Bros. Melee came out, I was deeply involved with that game and never looked back. As for Raiden III, it was cheap and have been on my to-get list for a long time. I can now cross both games off my list.
The Marvel Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded Edition. $26.
The DC Comics Encyclopedia: Updated and Expanded Edition. $26.
Despite getting the updated and expanded editions, there are still some grammar/spelling/factual mistakes. :| Other than that minor setback, both books are great. I'm a bigger Marvel fan than DC, so it was nice to catch up on some DC characters/events.
Tridacna Derasa Clam. 2.5". $65.
My first clam for my aquarium if you don't count the hitchhiking turkey wing clam that came along with my purple ricordeas. I've been meaning to add a clam to my tank for a long time but didn't feel too confident in keeping one until now. I'm looking to add at least two more clams in the next few months. :]
Ben & Jerry's Half Baked. $2.50.
Ben & Jerry's Mud Pie. $2.50.
OH MAN ALL OVER MAH FACE!
Also bought but not pictured is the new issue of EGM (Ken cover). I wanted to check the magazine out before I commit to a subscription. Needless to say, I subscribed.

Originally it was going to be $49.99, but Atlus dropped it to $39.99. I ordered it on Amazon with Free Shipping, and got a $10 Amazon credit with it. Huzzah!

Paid less than $30 for my copy. $5 for my deposit and then another $5 off at Gamestop.MiniBossman said:
...Though I also had my discount. But the fact that it was only $39.99, price was perfect.
Niceeee, I had the Golf 5 GTI for a few months some time ago. Beast of a car until I traded up for the R32, now that one was just WOW. Couldn't afford it though so had to sell itOnkelC said:May seems to be GTI month
Now I drive a silly fiat 500What else does Volkswagen make? That Ketchup is awesome, is it all common in Germany? Alos, which city do you live, if you don't mind me asking?
Nitemare1 said:Try not to get those two mixed up there bud!
My best pickup in a while. 2010 Norco Wolverine. Spent the morning getting it good and dirty!
nice, I'm heading out to my local bike shop to pick up my new ride. should have pics later, sucks it's been raining for most of the day, but it should at least make for some fun trail riding :lol
AFAIK, the ketchup can only be bought on site at the Wolfsburg factory (where we got it) and at the annual GTI Fest at the Wörthersee. Volkswagen sells a lot of swag:Teetris said:Niceeee, I had the Golf 5 GTI for a few months some time ago. Beast of a car until I traded up for the R32, now that one was just WOW.

City is Cologne, car is registered at the company in Düsseldorf. Anybody familiar with the rivalry between those two cities can imagine how fun it is parking the ride in front of ze flat:lol
