I just found NCIS: The Game (Based on the TV Series!) in a $10 video game bin:
HNNNNG, I wish that was a pre-order bonus here in the States, but I guess you guys deserve it for waiting so long.
Also, would of been better if Mitsuru was on the cover.
Original cuts FTW!
What what region are these?

Had some spare iTunes credit and decided to subscribe. For $20 I can't go wrong (a local copy is $10 and is at least a month behind content wise). That and imported copies of the US edition are $17ish as they are "expressed" over.
Hell yeah! Tobacco and beer. I just did the same thing...after a long week at work. Gonna stay in and play some Nintendo. Probably play LttP:

Dogfish head good.
Kodiak bad, go with grizzly next time yo.
Yeah,
Grizzly way better and $2.25 vs $4 for Kodiak (I'm not in Cali and $7 a can, thank god). But it was Friday and they were out. The Aprihop was only $8.75 out the door.
How is Aprihop? Haven't tried it yet.
It was good, Festina Peche (EDIT!) I got a pint at the Brewery in Rehoboth a few weeks back. It is a Weisse (according to the site). I much prefer the Aprihop since it is stronger and IPA.
Since I've been in Germany for the last few years I've gotten sick of German beers. Happy to be back in the states and the east coast to see new stuff (spoiled with San Fran and So Cal, beer-wise). I also, got a sixer of Tweason'ale at the Brewery. Though, it wasn't that great. Having a fun time with the Dogfish, the Dale's, Victory and other stuff that I've missed in the last few years.
If they're private burned releases, probably region free.
Secondhand amp to replace an old yammy av receiver that I was using for PC audio.
I forgot how much better sounding a dedicated stereo amp is over a receiver, completely destroys my old yammy receiver even at half the watts.
£60
Very nice sir, I run everything through a very similar Denon Stereo amp myself
Very nice!I picked up a few soundtracks and a copy of Dragon Warrior I & II.
Nicely done, the only real moka.a bialetti

Not actually that important
HOT! TiT is awesome, well done for choosing to pay premium to get it CiB, I hate loose carts eheh
For me, New CiB GBA games for my collection. Hopefully Shining Force has English language as well in it.
Also my new E-cigarette Joyetech eRoll. Went from 20 to 30 red Marlboro per day to 4 now. Hopefully I'll quit altogether within a couple of months, been smoking for 20 years... Ugh :/
Also grabbed these, U2 (not the SE tho) and MGS4 I had before, but sold them

Where did you get these?

Those are available to download if you look. He may have just bought some blu-ray cases and printed out the covers for them. I doubt they are legitimately available for purchase anywhere (maybe from a private user).
Original cuts FTW!
no DNR ?
Another weekend brings more thrift store finds:
$3 each. I never owned Sonic Spinball, was not much of a fan of it back in the day, but $3 aint bad and it's not actually a terrible game. I know nothing about Genji but I haven't seen it in a thrift store before, so we'll see about it.
Genji had an old Gamestop receipt in it, LOL.
So I decided to drive up to Marysville early this morning and visit the Boom City Swap Meet. I got a few good deals:
There was one video game vendor there and she had boxes full of stuff. She was a collector and kew the value of what she had, but hated dealing with Ebay. She said everything was negotiable, so I made an offer of $25 for the three games above and she accepted. Now I just need to get DKC 3 and I have the whole set.
I decided to take a look around the place to see what else I could find. There were a lot of vendors there, some had original star wars toys etc... but I couldn't afford everything. I DID find this though:
Batman Forever glass mugs! It was a McDonalds promotion back in '95. I bought 2 back in that summer and still use them. They are very sturdy. This guy sold me 5 for $4.
One of them is a Robin mug, which I did not have previously. The others are 3 Batmans and one Riddler.
I went back to the videogame retailer before I left and bought the above for $28 (what I had left). I was a little shocked to find out the Captain america game sells for around $20 on Ebay, too bad it's missing the instructions. She had other great things, like CIB Boogerman (genesis) and Golden Axe 2, but I can't buy everything.
My wallet hurts after this week. I could have spent so much more there, but I need to eat every once in a while.

Put a partial payment down on a New 2014 Audi S5. Delivery will be 4th of July weekend.
Congrats!
Always a good feeling and that is a beast of a machine.
I plan on doing a Euro Delivery next year on my next one.

Wait, did a retailer leak or did you get a press copy or something? If it's the former, what do you think of it so far? I pre-ordered but I heard a few remarks about "poor" controls. How are they?Donkey Kong Country 3DS, Just picked this up

I bought it off someone who apparently won it in some event held today, They had no need for it.
So i bought it, Is there some problem if i post a pic of the controls layout?

Please do!
Wow that is some good luck. I don't think there's any problems because you aren't under any NDAs or anything. What do you think of the game so far?

I do see how "Run" could have been "Y" instead, But the game is great and the 3DS keeps getting better and better.
I traded my old beat up original 3DS for credit and got this for 130 as a gift for a friend who can't buy one.
How is the framerate? Solid 30 all the time?

I would say yes but i have noticed a bit of slow down, nothing that is a deal breaker.
Still runs smoothly but i am no expert.
Original cuts FTW!
I like the covers! They say non special editions right? Made me laugh.

Man, those take me back. I have no idea what happened to mine, but I'm guessing they either broke or got lost during a move. Anyway, awesome pick up!

Purchased a vita for $120 with only a 4gb memory card.
Nothing besides the handheld and that, Previous owner deactivated it and it is a great deal because it's only $120. (low price)
Condition 9/10
it had a screen protector but i removed that immediately, i don't need those as i take care of my stuff.
I bought rayman for 14.99 and sf x tekken for 19
I just got a white one but have not taken pics of it, This was too low to pass up on.

Edit: just saw that you already had one, but you just got it so the question stands, lol.
