I know I'm supposed to post pictures of stuff I've just gotten here, but I thought y'all would be interested in seeing a couple of empty boxes that have been sitting around for a while. I finally decided today would be the day I got rid of them!
The spider inside the Genesis box was enormous and terrifying. If this was a 90s commercial, it would have yelled 'SEGA' at me.
Funny that these fairly recent systems can remind me of a simpler time.

Kid Icarus guide, nintendo dream and a ton of kid Icarus chocolate. And other snacks from Japan.
got these at UBCON from Brawl in the Family.
Painted this for an art show, but i'm gonna keep it once its over.
won a Minecraft 360 code... Spent over 30 hrs in it so far...
New job, more money, more shit to buy:
New gamecube controller. Brought a couple of Wii nunchuks from my local store for £3 each and swapped the sticks over. Result = best damn gamecube controller ever. Timesplitters 2 is a dream to play.
Sony Blu Ray player. Got it preowned for £30. Bargain.
Got this a month ago, but worth a mention. Brand new/absolutely MINT and complete condition Game Boy Micro I haggled from another Blockbuster store whilst I was still a manager at one. Price? £3.95 minus my 20% staff discount (it was £3.16). If I sold it on ebay, I'd gain a fucking ridiculous profit. But I'm not going to. It's too good to sell.
New 42" LG TV. Full HD, absolutely incredible contrast (blacks are superb). Cat loves it.

heh, I got one of those from ebay too (however I disagree with you, they are absolutely shit to play with). Took out the board from the USB one, and swapped it with my real SNES one (had to drill a hole or two, but easy shit really). Threw away the buttons and casing from the controller I got from ebay.
Using my genuine SNES pad on a computer is awesome, and it was far cheaper than buying a £10 adapter.
Don't seem so bad to me, sure they're not perfect as the SNES but these ones do the job much better than what I had before. Would be interested in a detailed guide how you swapped out your boards.
Not sure what to play first, Catherine, Kirby or use the USB SNES PADS (perfect btw) for something. Very happy with the SNES pads, so cheap too, only £4 each.
Tomee pads? yup, they're awesome.

Onimusha 2.
And another forgotten game that's different from your multitude of war shooters. So of course no one bought it.

Oooh, tempting! The sticks for my GC controllers are getting pretty damn worn, so this could be a good move. Do I need a special screwdriver to open up the controller, or am I just imagining hearing that somewhere?
Nothing to detail about it. Literally swap them over - just need to expand the holes for the top right and left above the d-pad and buttons(a screwdriver will do the job fine) and drill a little hole for the plastic between the start and select buttons. Put the circuit board into the official snes controller, route the USB cable through the hole at the top, then just screw the thing together. Just be careful - the L/R connections on the imitation pads are shit. I accidentally ripped the L button connectors off, and had to solder it back on. No real effort, but a pain regardless.
Sierra? Is it a point and click game?
Yep. A tri-wing screwdriver. Mine cost 95p on ebay. All you need to do is literally open up the controller, and take the sticks off. It's the same fitting on all GC/Wii controllers (both the screw fittings, and the sticks themselves) - and I do have to say, the Wii sticks are incredible on the Gamecube controller.
Got this today to replace my old Aqua Blue one
Nice, got one myself this month.

No it's an fps and one of the worst controlling ones I've come across. Thankfully the auto aiming does a lot for you. But what's interesting about the game is that it has a ton of dialogue. You can talk to pretty much anyone. And the game has stealth segments where you can take bad guys hostage. It was definitely worth checking out for the 8 bucks I paid for it.

I still hope I can manage a lucky find and get a copy for around 30 euro someday. Good thing I at least got it from PSN while it was still up!
While I was in Tokyo last year I've kept searching for it all the time but I haven't spotted a single copy.
Oh boy do I love The Sky Crawlers, very fun game.
Sky Crawlers is an awesome game, I loved every single second of it! Except the final boss, monstrously difficult as in every Ace Combat since The Unsung War
Yay for Monsoon Wedding!

Been reminiscing lately about my teenager years and involvement in a major C64 warez group (days long gone but I miss you 80's) and wanted to replace my now long gone gear.
First I scored a Commodore 128D with no yellowing or anything, and the guy selling it didn't know anything about it (estate procurement) but when it arrived it was missing the keyboard.
Then I happened on someone selling a VIRGIN Commodore 128 and 1571 drive. They were in the original boxes with disks still sealed, original cable ties the whole ball of wax. They had been sitting in their boxes and wrapped in plastic somewhere for 25 years (mfg date 7/86).
Finding this stuff without yellowing is practically impossible.
we have come a long way. Back in high school they had similar keyboards. The noise they made were so fucking annoying. If I see anyone using that keyboard I would go and punch their face.

I really want the Lego Imperial Shuttle. So cool!
You're so lucky, I've been searching for this Gameboy for years now, and they only sell them at such high prices
one day I'll be able to buy it, if I find a job.You're so lucky, I've been searching for this Gameboy for years now, and they only seem them at such high prices
Don't worry, Iwata will announce at E3 that the lack of GB/GBC titles on the VC has been because they're going to release EVERY GB/GBC game they can by the end of the year in order to flood the market and make some of that money they lost last year back. (Read: hundreds of titles)

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Got a medium-sized pink purse for the EX girlfriend. :-/
We were together my entire four years in college, but she was a year younger than me, and we broke up this past December during her senior year. It sucks breaking up, and it's especially hard to try to do something like this. But she was my college life, and I know I was *her* college life; and so I felt I should congratulate her and wish her the best in all her future endeavors.

Massive camel toe.
Massive haul since May 1st.
Black Swan?
you sir have an exquisite taste
amazing movie.
I've been looking for a new pair of headphones for PC gaming because I don't have a mic on my old Sennheisers and today I decided to pick up the Corsair Vengeance 1500 headset after much research online.
The Corsair's are USB only with a virtual 7.1 surround sound. The audio quality is brilliant, the mic is one of the best I've used and most importantly, they are super comfy.
I've been playing some Battlefield 3 with these on. Good fun! And now I'm ready for some Diablo 3 slaying next week.

Syma S107G
hows the Syma in regards to battery life and durability? Ive wanted one for awhile, and they are cheap enough if it breaks its not a huge deal but I want something that if i crash it won't break into pieces

I'm getting between 6-10 minutes it feels like. Never times it. Its very durable, I run it into shit around the house all the time and it's a champ. Definitely worth $20 if you're interested in a copter that doesn't just flop over from take off. I want to try a single blade now.

That's really nice. That's something I would do. Shows you really care. Much better to do that than be hateful or something towards her. 'Cuz then it'd be like you didn't really care, right? At least that's how I see it.
Good guy. =)

And the comics I grabbed:
You could choose 5 out of 30.

NECA is actually doing a new portal gun release. This time it's for the gun that P-body uses and it's limited to 5000 pieces. They're supposed to be letting people know when the approved retailers are selected, sometime next week
