Here are my pick ups for this month, I should note that at the top of the pic is a t-shirt also I did not originally intend to get Splatoon or the Ink Girl Amiibo (which is also the very first Amiibo I've bought) but the other day I decided to switch my PS3 MK X pre-order to it since it's looking more and more like it (MK X for the PS3) won't be coming out any time soon.
Not Pictured: Stretchmo (3DS eShop game), $10 Humble Nindie Bundle games, Ryse: Son of Rome (PC), Super Meat Boy (PC), Castle in the Darkness (PC), Psychonauts (PC), F.E.A.R. 3 (PS3), and my Fright Rags Cabinet of Dr. Caligari shirt (still waiting for it to be delivered)

I'm hoping this isn't taken as a criticism because I want this to be some genuine advice to save you money.
Most supplements are bullshit and are completely unnecessary. The marketing for these products is pretty well done so you can see why they're so popular. I made a fairly brief post in another thread about this kind of stuff which you can see here if you're interested.
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=151985147&postcount=50
In short, all you need to take is protein if you happen to be not getting enough from just your meals (which by the way is significantly below 1g of protein per pound of body weight). There's very circumstantial evidence that creatine might be helpful but that's not certain at all. If you're taking whey protein you're already getting a ton of BCAA from that so anymore is not necessary.
Beyond that, it's not necessary to take any vitamins or whathaveyou unless you're actually clinically deficient.
I encourage you to do your own research and draw your conclusions from independent studies and people without ties to the supplement industry. Again, I don't want to criticize, I just don't want to see somebody blow a bunch of money unnecessarily.
EDIT: Forgot to mention http://examine.com/supplements/ which is a great scientific source for this kind of thing. You might have to put in some made up email to get access, but I just put in some random mailinator address.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Nice! Are they glossy?
Obligatory amiibo haul photo. Still missing Jigglypuff which is in the mail, Ness who I am waiting for a friend to get and another Greninja that's still coming. Other then that I only actually missed out on the Splatoon 3-Pack. Didn't expect that to sell out so quickly in my area.
Best part of all didn't have to wait in line for any of these, managed to get lucky with preorders and strolled out later in the day for a few others.

These were my haul after going to a few stores around 10-11am on release day, could've had a Jigglypuff but wasn't driving an extra 10 miles when I knew one was coming in the mail anyways.
This was my Best Buy pre-order haul
And of course a whole collection shot, and yes I do open them, don't have the space to justify keeping all the boxes, and quite frankly they look better opened anyways.

-Far Cry Compilation (Xbox 360)
-Madden NFL 11 (Xbox 360)
I got Madden NFL 11 two weeks ago, but didn't bother to post about it. I just got the Far Cry Compilation a few minutes ago. I had a 20% off coupon that expires after today, so I figured I should use it.
