do you notice much of a difference with the flash drive?

I'm thinking I should feed my pc some new parts sometime soon too.

My q6600 and 4 gigs of ddr2 is smelling pretty stinky these days.

I can take them if you want but they're regular cases in a new box. Without any special guidebook inside, very disappointing.

Nah, its okay then. Dissapointed to hear that. Was hoping for something more special.
Then I can just as well buy them seperatly. Thanks for the heads up.

I'll be posting pictures tomorrow of my pick ups, not home at the moment.

To kick off the month on a good note, I had two packages awaiting me today:

- Lego 6361: I had (and loved) this set many, many years ago, but lost most of the pieces. Online auctions are the best:

- Layton Revoltech:

- I've wanted a Windows 98 machine for quite some time, it works great and now it's time to install all those point and click adventures:

Lovin' your pick-ups. Reminds me that I need to get a battery grip for my XTi. I've had my camera for a few years but have yet to buy one for it. Although, there was only one event/situation where the battery had died on me and wasn't able to take any pictures for the rest of the night...but it's better to be safe than sorry, I suppose. I'm not sure what your level of photography knowledge is but if you're considering getting a new lens, the Canon 50mm f/1.8 is a great prime lens to start out with. It's relatively cheap (~$100), sharp and does well in low-light parameters.

Supreme. Hardcover. $31.
I've been a big fan of Supreme and this book serves as a monograph/short history of the brand. It has tons and tons of pictures (including the nude ones :lol) and there's an index of their merch at the back of the book.

Here's a picture of the cover when the dust jacket is taken off:

And one video game purchase.

4568331093_c5659238fe_o.jpg


Valkyria Chronicles. PS3. $9.

The price came down to $19.99 at Amazon and I had a $10 gift certificate...so the total was $9. I've heard nothing but good things about the game but it's going to have to sit in my backlog for a bit. I'm working on two other RPGs at the moment (HeartGold and FFXIII).

Bought on April and beyond but still.

Some LTTP stuff here
GAFMay1Update1.jpg


I'm starting to do a Final Fantasy collection. I always wanted to but never found a good seller with decent price and quality. Now that I found one, I bought those (minus FFIV on GBA cause I had it already). And I just bought all the NES Japanese Final Fantasy games from the same seller. Can't wait.

I also modded my American SNES to play the Super Famicom games.

Well I just got back from a 6 month deployment to the middle east and I had a little cash to burn so I upgraded the old PC. I'm basically in love with the new one.

i7-930, 6GB DDR3 1600, DFI Lanparty Jr, Asus 5870, Nova 64 SSD, H50 liquid cooler, Zalman 750W PSU, Antec P180 mini. :D

JC2 has some awesome PC mods though. Infinite tethers!

Either way JC 2 is an awesome pickup.

(Don't do the Pirate Broadcast mission though, sometimes glitches the game up and you can't use your parachute any more :[ )

I'm just a poor college student so this is like 2 Christmas' in one for me. Last time I was actually able to afford anything game related it was in 2008 lol.

when i build a new PC, i'm going SSD for the main drive as well. the speed is ridiculously faster than regular HDDs. nice choice with Intel as well, they seem to be the best SSDs from reviews i've read

From my brother. Around 8-9 years ago, my brother was big in the shoe game and he was drooling over the Nike SB Dunk Low Supreme Cements. At that time, he just started up a subscription to Sole Collector and Sneaker Freaker; I'd occasionally browse them and started to become more interested in what is now the modern shoe craze. Supreme tees and hats have always caught my eye. Especially the ones with a minimalist design and their logo slapped on there.

My recent pick ups-
P1000918.jpg


I love this head set, has 7.1 surround sound (somehow) and works on my Xbox 360, PC and PS3 (no mic support for PS3 though), haven't tried on my Wii yet. It is great for playing late at night when others are asleep or when someone else is in the same room (I use them all the time though, because I don't have surround sound speakers).

I'm always curious as someone who lives just outside NYC and is 'in' the culture to some extent.

Move this to the front of the queue immediately. It's better than both of those by far.

Sorry for quoting myself, the fucking HDMI port on my Elite (bought less than 6 months and I only have 2 games, Bayonetta and this one) died right at the moment I wanted to continue my quest on Rank 8. Composite still work, tried Y+RT when powering on but didn't work. I guess I'll have to stick on playing the PS3 version for the while before I get a replacement.
