New Coolmaster V8 Heat Sink:
Intel stock-fan next to it for comparison. Making this post from a 30 degrees C rig.
Got this for my wife a few years ago. Excellent, excellent pick up.

Would you recommend this Vita case? I still don't have one.

These are actually extremely old posters. They sat in their tubes for more than a year. And then sat in frames for more time. Finally put them up on the wall. The canvas has been there for a while.
I actually have another on an opposite wall similar to the Big Daddy/Mario ones of Nathan Drake. Didn't feel like taking a picture of it though.

Where did you get these?

This room looks absolutely fantastic.
Some really interesting and great pick ups this month.
Seeing as it's been a bit flat for new releases here in the UK every retailer and etailer have had some sort of bonkers sale on one day or the other. So while nothing new or particularly special, mainly stuff I was on the fence about, I have so far picked up this little haul for peanuts.
Mass Effect 3: CE was at GameStop's UK website for £39.99 (was £24.99 for the PS3 version), Assassin's Creed: Revelations CE was on Amazon for £23.03 and whilst doing some grocery shopping in Tesco saw Batman: Arkham City Joker Steelbook for £18.
Still the real bargain, for what I was really looking at, was...
Metal Gear Solid: HD Collection Zavvi Limited Edition for £34.99 off their ebay outlet, coupled with a 10% off PayPal coupon came to £31.49.
They had the PS3 version at the same price but that sold out almost immediately. The art book is the same that came with the North American and the Japanese Collector's Edition. It's a lot better quality than the usual pack in art books and has found a home under my coffee table. It has even caught the eye of a few people who've come round, some not even interested in Metal Gear or gaming in general. A bit disappointed that the Steelbook is just 2 stickers on a plain Steelbook but seeing as my PS3 is in silicone heaven right now it will have to do.

My new Samsung PN64E8000 TV. 64 inches of pure god-damn-ness. For some reason it looks small next to the speakers but it really is quite massive. Moving up from a 42" Phillips LCD, the difference is night and day.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
Was browsing Best Buy for shit's n' giggles in the video game section to see if any steals or good deals Available
Got a really fucking good one
I was not going to pay $140.00 for this, but, $40.. sure why not:
Also in the GAF OT, a thread had a raffle due to them winning kitchen remodel
<3 Low End Torque:
Had some mom & pop shop credit left over from way back, they called due to purging yearly stuff, clean their records, went and got 2 of these, and now to go on that Ubisoft firesale on PSN+:

Those finally sold out? It only took 5 months. I've never seen such a special edition bomb as bad as this did.
Look what just came in. All in great condition, and only about $20-30 USD a piece. Please excuse my crappy picture taking.
With Ibara earlier, these PS1 games, and Akai Katana in a couple of weeks, it has been a good STG month for me. And I´m waiting for Diablo III CE to arrive from BestBuy, hopefully next week.

The original price was just too damn expensive. But there have been SEs that bombed even worse. The worst example I can think of is the Alone in the Dark SE.
...
Very nice. I'm jealous.

They're not even comparable. The MGS SP had only 8k copies world wide. It took them almost 5 months to sell 8k copies that were priced the same as the NA SP.

Few bits and pieces from the last couple of days:
Compared to the original listing of the Zavvi LE I'm not surprised. I had two preordered then when they unveiled what it is now I cancelled my preorder immediately. What a disappointment:'(

Hey thanks!
Originally from this kickstarter http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/justinrusso/video-game-posters?ref=users which is obviously not available anymore. He has things for sale at various places though.
So there's some posters and buttons here
http://pressxtojustin.bigcartel.com/
Then, there are more in his video games posters series here. Including a remastered version of the Mario one. There are other prints there as well.
http://society6.com/justindrusso/prints
Finally, there is a small assortment of things here, including a more golden version of the Goldeneye print.
http://www.redbubble.com/people/pressxtojustin/portfolio
If you're interested he has a blog http://justindavidrusso.blogspot.ca/ but I'm pretty sure he's let it die so it's probably best to follow his twitter http://twitter.com/#!/pressxtojustin
He'll shout out on twitter whenever he's got art available for sale somewhere.

Have you tried their new(ish) greek frozen yogurt? Blueberry Vanilla Graham is fantastic.
OMG... I have got to try those flavors.

Was delicious - both as a 'shake' from B&J's and just straight out of the carton. Need to try the strawberry shortcake one for sure next time.

Yeah, pretty much it will be my new mission tomorrow to find the Peanut Butter Banana and Strawberry Shortcake versions of these. My life depends on it.
Is this stuff as ridiculously expensive in the US as it is over here? Always wanted to try it once, but it costs 5,50 (~$7) apiece over here.
I only buy it on sale for 3$. Ive seen it at 5 or 6$ though.

Where the hell did you get Salamander for that cheap of a price?
From a seller in the eBay equivalent in Mexico, Mercado Libre. $500 pesos comes to around $35 US dollars. Got Ibara PS2 about three weeks ago from a different seller for $800 pesos or around $60 USD.
Got Hajime no Ippo, Golden Boy, and Sword of the Stranger from ACen. The rest from Amazon. Should be more than enough to keep me entertained for the rest of the year.
Golden Boy is amazing. I don't watch too much anime but I found that to be hilarious.
