I picked up some genuine Phoenix Arcade silkscreen cabinet decals, and redecalled my Attack From Mars pinball machine. Took about 25 hours and required near total disassembly. I'm happy to say I didn't break anything and it now looks brand new. :)

Before : faded, scratched, yukky

After : beauty

Bravo! Attack from Mars is one of my Fav titles. I have a Doctor Who Pin with reds faded the exact same way. No one makes repro art though :(
 
ocz vertex 3 240GB max iops edition. should be here in a few weeks! totally excited to ditch my regular hard drive (seagate momentus XT 500GB) for this.

mortal kombat for the 360 (thank you toys r us and their $30 deal!), and an ipad 2 - 32GB, at&t 3G in black. 64GB was too much, 16GB was too little, white didnt look good, and 3G was a necessity for my parents, especially because they travel overseas.

I was happy with today's thrift store finds. It always amuses me when a collector's item appears at a thrift store as it's amazing how it got there. Someone must have taken some effort to get that Guncon out of Japan.

This one is pretty cool. It has a tag like it was in an auction. It's also been put in a really expensive acrylic frame. If only it was The Thundercats though.

Nice.. a proper Japanese black GunCon instead of that wimpy grey or orange American one.

Be sure to try and rob a bank with it.

If Time Crisis has taught me anything, it's that it'll be okay as long as you quickly duck behind something when bullets start flying toward you. ;)

Edit: And if Point Blank has taught me anything, it's OH GOD SHOOT FASTER NO WAIT BE MORE ACCURATE WAIT NO DON'T SHOOT THOSE THINGS FUCK

What a beauty!

At first I was thinking "but Okami's not a fighter..." but then I remembered Amaterasu in MvC3... it's legit! *thumbs up*

That was my EXACT thought.

The fact that I don't own MvC3 will have to remain a secret.

Oh, I dunno if it's very visible, but this was the clear bluish Chun-Li stick.

New Desk setup with new iMac.
IKEA frosted glass table top, two shelved legs, a couple $7 clamp lights to light from under. Inspired by Danny Choo (www.dannychoo.com) and his home office.

Also a Mossimo digital watch from Target and the Razer Naga Epic edition mouse.


How much did the table cost? I'm interested in getting one.

Went to Dallas ComicCon (sixth time! Damn thing gets bigger every year) this weekend and got Stan Lee's autograph. Since I didn't know if I was going to go or not until the last minute I didn't really have anything great or super rare for him to sign, but I had a little mini poster that I figured would look nice up on the wall.

Bit of a crease going across the middle because it's from the #500 posterbook from a few years ago, but you don't notice it unless you get right up close. Not like I'm trying to hawk this on ebay or anything.

I wish I could have said more to Stan other than the obligatory 'Hi' and 'Thank you', but he was the big draw of the convention and the staff were trying to move the line along.

In the Build your own section: Frosted glass top was $80, the legs are up to you. These are A frame with shelves on them. These I got were $20 or $30 each. Then I picked up 2 $7 clamp lights from a bin. They work out pretty well, I need to set them to a switch on the desktop, right now I need to crawl under to turn them on. I also recommend using soft bulbs or the light may be too bright and can fatigue the eyes.

Really neat table but please do something about the cables.

-Radiohead's King of Limbs-newspaper edition. I actually forgot I even ordered it and I wish I hadn't because I think the album is a stinker.

-No More Heroes' Paradise

-Stanley Kubrick Blu-ray collection. It's missing a few films from the US edition, but that one was more than twice the price and I already own the DVD's of Dr. Strangelove and Spartacus.

Doesn't matter because it has Barry Lyndon...trumps every single other Kubrick movie combined!

US is lucky enough to get it next week. Whoo-hoo.
 
A ton more Dreamcast stuff. I am even converting one of my arcade cabinets to run off a Dreamcast... You can check out some videos on my youtube page: hhtp://youtube.com/larrabee213

And now for a bunch more Dreamcast stuff I bought...

Last but not least, I am playing through this for the first time EVER (after beating Shenmue 1 last week). Totally worth the $55 price tag. Also the PAL Dreamcast cases are 100x better than the NTSC. Going to need to collect all of the PAL DC games now... Shit.

I picked up this on Tuesday! it is awesome :(

fucked foot pics


Thank god for the NHS , had to have 4 xrays, crutchs and all that. They are not sure if its broken (possible hairline fracture she couldn't pick up) but I have a phiso appointment on tuesday. That is FOUR days after it happened!


Had the same bruise pattern. I was on a diving board and my ankles decided to roll after the first jump, when the diving board sprang back up it hit them as they were still rolled. Nothing was broken at all. However, I tore (or just fucked up) almost everything. Ligaments, tendons, etc. The result: feet are now fine, but I have a calcium deposit on both. Looks like I have another ankle on each.


Was years ago, but yeah... doc said my shit was fucked and surprised I didn't have anything broken.

Is Soul Reaver on DreamCast the definitive version, like Rayman 2?

Some would probably argue the PC version. But as far as consoles go, yeah, DC is the definitive version.

Yeah, I meant console comparisons. Thanks for the answers both of you.
