Dont have the pics up yet but....i just got back from a week in Tokyo, and it was AMAZING! but it was soo busy (golden week and all) but still had a very good time, bought some nice plushies and gundam toys. Also i found it very strange to see that it just looked like the disaster never took place, i mean everything was looking so normal etc. Anyway some hardcore card shit going on in the arcades now, some square-enix game, forgot the name. looked mighty fun anyway. Ill post some pics later

Awesome; Glad you had a good time! Are you going to upload pictures of the Tokyo area as well as your pick ups?
 
Picked up these gems last week on eBay!

My new Router! ~$150 USD

quite possibly the best WIFI and LAN throughput I've seen of any router yet. I can always count on ASUS no matter what!

It's funny because I actually ordered a Ness figurine off eBay, but the seller sent me Ninten and Jeff instead. I'd be more upset if I wasn't getting a sweet two-for-one deal. Just a shame that the Jeff figurine is one of the smaller kind, cos he won't fit in with Ninten and Ness (whenever I reorder him).
That is actually the taller Jeff. The mother 1 Large figures are taller than the Mother 2 Large figures. The Small figures would be up to Jeff's neckline.

Here's a comparison:

Japanese Candy. The corn flavored crackers are amazing.

Hello my new friends. It was a good month for me.

The recent price of the PSP and the ever growing catalog of awesome games and quirky Japanese games made it hard for me to not pick one up. I have to say I wish I did it sooner it's a great piece of hardware I enjoy it far more than my PS3. I really recommend that if you have been on the fence on picking up a PSP do so.

Greatest Gamespite thus far. Portal 2 is the greatest gaming experience thus far period.

What an excellent name! :lol

That router looks awesome, really puts my boring (but functional) D-Link to shame.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Hey everyone! Finally got my account authenticated! This has always been one of my favorite threads on NeoGaf, and so it's only natural I make my first post here :)

I'm gonna cheat a little, and start with a purchase from a bit earlier:

5698845866_f68bf47814_z.jpg


5698847528_7d3e23e5fd_z.jpg


Used a Power Up Rewards coupon on both, so after 10% discount, spent about ~$14 total:

5698275853_4bd72829c2_z.jpg


Really took advantage of the Gamestop sale, along with some Best Buy deals. Enslaved $12, Sly $20, Blazblue $13, Yakuza $17, NFS Shift 2 $18, Portal 2 $35 w/ $20GC, Guitar Hero $3, case full price for $15:

5698848878_4cc1d9ed20_z.jpg


NFS Undercover was only $2.50 on Steam this week:

5698850952_c29b85c094_z.jpg


Wanted this for a while, and had a gift card about to expire:

5698274663_cef10e6f35_z.jpg


And finally:

5698851926_fe2c70accc_z.jpg


... Anyhoo, glad to be here! Let me know if I did anything wrong. And I look forward to being a part of the community for a long time.

Scott Pilgrim 3 (volumes 5&6) finally came out in Japan last week. Kept going around the local bookstores here but no place had it. Finally went and bought it on Amazon.co.jp

Cover inspired by one of my favorite games!

This gives me hope of an affordable upgrade in the next year or so. Will have to keep my eyes open for such madness!

My new rig:

I want to take pics of it with the side of the case open, but I would have to take it out from behind my desk and do that. It's a shame too, because it looks gorgeous on the inside. Everything is wrapped up so nice and tidy.

  • AMD Phenom II X4 3.2ghz
  • 8GB DDR3 RAM
  • ATI Radeon 6950 2GB

Some new PC games:

Not pictured: a bunch of games I picked up at the end of April that don't count for this thread. Also, a copy of Metro 2033 that is on its way.

My new iPad 2:

This was a birthday present from my parents (my birthday was on Wednesday). The app in question is Flipboard, an rss reader that formats updates and news like a magazine. Also, I can read plenty of comics.
Where did you get the case?

Great buy on this. Picked one up early last year, best decision I made in awhile. speed increase is insane especially if you have bonded channels
 
I stopped into a new Goodwill Electronics store and found the following... I picked up all the import PS1 games they had just because they were imports. At $4 it wasn't bad at all. When I was checking out I saw Nintendo Power #1 on the book racks and grabbed that too. Speaking of the imports, has anyone played the Summer Holiday or Puyo Puyo? I don't believe these were ever localized.

Stopped by Toys R Us to look for RB3, but found these. The 30% off clearance games dropped the price a bit.
