[grap3fruitman]

Also quoting my post from the April thread since it was the last day of April. =P

I'm going to shoot you guys complaining of getting over-sized packaging from Amazon. Now I'm getting damaged DVDs/Blu-rays/games. >=(

Oh! And I got my eyebrows waxed, hair cut and for the first time ever I got highlights! =P

 

[Yes Boss!]

Yay! May is here and it is gonna be a biggie! Lots of Wii games for the Month. Death Smiles Hori stick should be my first May pick-up.

Nothing for PS3 or 360, sadly :-(

 

[Auron_Kale]

Posted these in the April thread (because it's still April in California).

Large Neopolitan shake from In-N-Out:

Manga:

Also ordered my ticket for the Final Fantasy Distant Worlds concert in July in San Francisco.

 

[Rapping Granny]

Also quoting my post from the April thread since it was the last day of April. =P

holy shit, your eyebrows...WTF?

 

[Minotauro]

Ignoring the eyebrow thing for a second, am I the only one who has so far failed to see any sort of damage to the American Dad DVD? What gives?

 

[JEKKI]

dang... I was about to post these in the last thread to finish off the month like Liu Kang.

but whatever... new thread... I went to the Bape store today!!!

I was a day late so I didnt get the one I wanted in my size

but this was the last medium in this particular design so I'm still lucky

 

[Speevy]

Didn't technically get any of these in May, but two of them arrived today (4/30) and the other one was purchased within the last 2 weeks.

 

[Zyzyxxz]

bouight some case fans from Fry's, ignore sticker price it was on sale for $8.99, its a pack of 4 too so it was an awesome deal since I actually need 4 of them in my case.

Very quiet, for the price you can't beat this!

Also got a Nikon D40 on the way, kinda lame I gotta use my shitty camera to take pics of my good one.

 

[MWS Natural]

Been an eternity since I've posted. Finally picked up my own camera after giving my old one to my ex. Probably would take up a page if I included all of the things I've gotten since I last posted in a pickup thread so I'll just include the most recent.

Some graphic novels I have picked up, read them all except for the Dark Tower ones because I am currently reading full books.

Decent read. I've always been a fan of Jim Lee so I'm a bit biased though.

One of the best graphic novels I've ever read, going to try to get the entire series next paycheck.

My new PC. Wouldn't call it a 'gaming pc' yet because I haven't yet decided on a graphics card.

I'll post a few other pics later, didn't want to have too many in one post.

 

[MarkMan]

JEKKI, that shirt is AWESOME.

!

 

[Malfunky]

Been looking at glass top desks. Care to share what kind that is? Also, love the PC case. Aside from the window and glow, it appeals to my retarded minimalist tastes.

 

[andymcc]

awesome BAPE ghostbusters tee.

fucking rad as shit.

Oh man this desk is so old I can't honestly even remember. I think it was just a random glass office desk from Staples. You can buy the case w/o the window and can always get a front fan w/o LED lights. Since this is my first gaming PC I figured I would go a little flashy with it.

 

[schild]

That desk was sold at:

Office Max
Best Buy
Staples
Circuit City
etc.

between 2000 and 2004.

I have not seen it since. I'm sure there are models like it, but good luck. We used to sell the shit out of them at Best Buy (one of the few desks we stocked).

Eh, looks new. But I guess the first gaming PC bit explains that. :lol I've seen some pretty nasty PC desks (mine).

I wasn't doggin the rest of the case, by the way. The lights don't look bad. In fact, it looks cool against the monitor. Just don't care for them myself.

Oh, thanks. Strange they would stop making them if they sold so well.

 

[B-Genius]

This will be my only May pickup. If I get it working, I may never need another game again.

For the time being, it was the perfect excuse to finally get a classic controller!

 

[Patrick Bateman]

 

[schild]

Oh, thanks. Strange they would stop making them if they sold so well.

It was the best desk I ever owned until I needed something with more depth. And in comes the Ikea, ahem... Jerker. Possibly the REAL best desk ever owned. It has.... a lot of surface space. And a name that's only slightly unfortunate.

 

[Blablurn]

wtf....@....this magazin...

i hate 11 freunde from now on


@Thread:

just started the month with the new maximo park single

Spoiler

fucking 11 freunde

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Game at the right. *fist pump*

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Dude...go return it while you still can, when buying a fan you're looking for a COOL saving, not a hot one.

 

[Cronen]

Don't have a picture for this I'm afraid, but I managed to order two tickets to see Green Day in London on the 24th October!

 

[atomico]

[JEKKI]

[Keen]

No gaming stuff in quite a while

...but a bottle of pretty nice wine

 

[Nitemare1]

Haters be damned! I played the demo last night and loved it! As for TC4 it was on clearance for 30$ CAD.. YAY!

 

[HUELEN10]

Are we allowed to post what we got in april? Like my first time doing this.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Go for it! Usually the first page or two is partially a recap, with MarkMan posting his best pick-ups from the last month. We can never see enough merchandise!

 

[Jason]

Haters be damned! I played the demo last night and loved it! As for TC4 it was on clearance for 30$ CAD.. YAY!

Where did you find it for $30?

 

[BotoxAgent]

what store did you buy TC4?

edit: beaten

 

[Nitemare1]

what store did you buy TC4?

The Source by Circuit City. I think they are exclusive to Canada. They are a great place to check for deals and what not. They always seem to have something on clearance

I want the black ones!

LEZ GO JUNE!

I wonder if they're easier to get in Japan? Hrm..

 

[Toby]

Oh, thanks. Strange they would stop making them if they sold so well.

I think this is the same model?

Or a similar cheaper model.

I know that the Staples I work at still carries them.

 

[Totobeni]

Direct Sound Extreme Isolation 25dB

Spoiler

bought this for my jetEngine 360 , hope it make the annoying DVD drive noise go away

 

[LiK]

 

[grap3fruitman]

It's inside the case, which I'm too lazy to take a pic of. It's one of those flappy holders on the inside that holds two discs and the thing has been dropped several times it seems so that that broke and the discs then fell off while they were still in transit. =\

holy shit, your eyebrows...WTF?

What's wrong with eyebrows?

 

[DrFunk]

It's huge.
It's fast.

I love it.

You must have a 20gb? The only time my DVD drives spins is when I'm ripping games to the HDD, 120GB Elite ftw.

 

[LiK]

It's huge.
It's fast.

I love it.

yay, my pick-ups are in that shot :lol

 

[Machine]

Black Lantern t-shirt, Mountain Dew Throwback, and Grado SR60 headphones:

GH: WT and GH III from TRU sale last week:

Nice. The Dark Tower books are my favorite books...except the last one. I didn't realize they did graphic novels. I'm normally not into that sort of thing, but I think I might have to get that one.
