[Apo]

Believe it or not, I built all 10 of these this month. :O Haven't painted them yet though.

To which series do these mechs belong? Looks like Armored Core.

And where can I get them in Europe?

 

[XenonOxide]

Yea I got it from Game. My friend told me that he got it when he preordered today, so I went straight out to preorder it aswell.

Yup Armored Core. I'm in America and got mine from quite a few different places (toywiz.com, estarland.com, etc). Not sure about Europe, though. Might try google.

 

[MarkMan]

It finally hit a price point where I felt comfortable paying for it... $15

 

[Echoes]

Starfox Adventures - never played it before.
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 - my favorite skating game, and one of my favorite games of all time. Looking forward to replaying it.

Both are 2nd hands (from Amazon) but in good shape.

In the Eisenhorn trilogy that is.


And since you've gone through most of the Black Library's stuff, what did you like best?

SanDisk 2 GB Memory Stick Micro for my cell phone

[archnemesis]

I got a NDS (with three crappy games) from my brother. He bought it pretty much exclusivly for Mario Kart, and he hasn't been playing it at all lately. I also got two games for myself.

I'm replaying the Metal Gear series before the launch of MGS4. Portable Ops is a lot different from what I thought it would be, but so far I'm really enjoying it.

I haven't had time to play Persona 3 yet, but I decided to get a copy of FES instead. My PAL copy of the non-FES version is still shrinkwrapped, so I can probably sell it for a decent amount.

Chrono Trigger is still one of the best jRPGs ever made. I never finished it on the SNES, so I got it for my Playstation.

From top left.
Picastro - Red Your Blues
Picastro - Metal Cares
Final Fantasy Tactics OST
Final Fantasy VII Reunion
PJ Harvey & John Parish - Dance Hall at Louse Point
PJ Harvey - White Chalk
Neon Blonde - Chandeliers in the Savannah

Most of these CDs were really cheap. I got the two Final Fantasy albums shrinkwrapped for $4 and $8.

Correct, plus there are a few of Eisenhorns retinue in there as well. Broadly speaking my favourite Black library series are The Horus Heresy books ( minus the Flight of the eisenstein and the drak angels one), gaunts ghosts ( duh), but on the top of my pile it HAS to be the Ciphas Cain series.
Its wriiten in 1st person by a commisar who is actually afraid of getting hurt/ wanting to stay out of trouble, but to observers all *his* acts of cowardice seem like heroic decisions and he becomes venerated as one of the great commiasars of his time.

 

[Fallout-NL]

Ok thanks, I recently ordered the first GG trilogy as well, still waiting for it to arrive. After that I'll give Ciphas and the Heresy series a shot.

What's funny is that they make it so obvious on the box. :lol
Whatever it is, it's very good and I normally don't eat candy.

The Lost Golem for Dreamcast;

Someone else who owns this, wow. The level creator in it is brilliant.

 

[Amir0x]

Been a few months since I last posted, so I just put most of my purchases in here.

I know I stated in my last picture post that I was going to probably officially shift to Blu-Ray, but I decided to hold off for a few more months on that. So the result!

Not pictured here Oldboy Tin, R-Type Command, Wild Arms XF, Grand Theft Auto IV.

Also, I have Wii Fit but I will save that post for my next SHAME OF THE MONTH post.

 

[Solideliquid]

+1 Sweeney Todd

 

[Android18a]

Thats a great Sweeney Todd box. Mine is just a regular blu-ray steelbook case...

 

[Parks]

This is my first ever post in the pickup thread. I apologize in advance for my lack of photography skills >_<

My May 2008 Amzon.com Uber-Haul

I just picked up a Samsung LN52A750 52-inch 1080p LCD w/ RED Touch of Color
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B001418WF4/?tag=neogaf0e-20

I also picked up the stand this month. It is the Loop 64" Media Console from Crate and Barrel
http://www.crateandbarrel.com/family.aspx?c=994&f=26657

I really like it a lot. It's extremely solid. Even the back Panel is made out of wood. Very heavy duty construction. I had some initial issues w/ heat and the PS3 but I removed one of the shelves and places my consoles vertically, which enables them to run A LOT cooler.

Since I have been holding off on any games/movie purchases until my TV arrived, I went a little nuts last week!

PS3 Games:

Ratchet and Clank
Oblivion Game of the Year Edtion
Virtua Fighter 5
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune

BluRays:

No Country for Old Men
Paprika
Old Boy
The Host
The Shining
The Fifth Element
The Departed
300
Full Metal Jacket
Bladerunner

It's out on Blu-Ray?

 

[Stop It]

I just took this picture and though: "Christ, I didn't buy all this shit in May alone did I?" before realising that I actually did, oh god.

Before you ask, the HD DVD player was £25 with the 2 HD DVDs (All brand new, with the Media remote etc), I couldn't refuse, the picture/sound quality is insane.

Edit: Sorry about the grainy picture quality, not my month for photography it seems.

 

[Amir0x]

you most certainly could refuse, liar!

 

[Matrix]

It's out on Blu-Ray?

In the UK,but it's region free.

 

[Amir0x]

In the UK.

oh.

oh.

 

[Stop It]

I really couldn't, when I bought it from Gamestation last week I was flanked by the Manager of the store and a rep from Microsoft, both ruing the fact it was discontinued and singing its praises on how great it was, I was over a barrel.

Or I am just a consumer whore, I bought my 360 2 months ago, March 15th to be exact, I have now got 19 360 games, that HD DVD Drive, and have bought 2 Xbox games to play via BC, and I have a checklist a mile long of games to get this year, I need help.

 

[Android18a]

Sweeny Todd special edition blu-ray with booklet (£17.99 on play.com), Sonic games (£5 each, but in great condition), Sega Superstars Tennis (£25 at Zavvirgin) and THAT Dragon Quest "thing" whats like that one you plug right into the telly with the little plastic sword thingy. Oh, and the latest Hayate, because I love teh mangas.

^ Blu-ray version, with collectors booklet.

 

[Amir0x]

That seems pretty nice to me.

And now I imagine Osaka presenting the movie

 

[Unkind?]

Just found these in a drawer in my house. :lol
Both cases are basically screwed and the discs are scratched but the games both do work!

 

[TheKurgan]

Bigger than usual month for me so I thought I would put a picture together.

 

[Leonsito]

Everyone is buying those white/blue pistols shell for the Wiimotes, so I assume are the best ones out there for House of the Dead, RE:UC, ... right?

Nyko Perfect Shot. It totally makes the light gun shooters into different games.

House of the Dead/Ghost Squad play like completely different goddamn games. Particularly compared to the abysmal "gun"...thing...that came with Link's Crossbow Training.

 

[Minotauro]

Straight from Myanmar (Burma), I got these 16 Lethwei VCDs. For those not in the know (I'm guessing pretty much everyone), Lethwei is a form of Burmese kickboxing. It's like Muay Thai except they only wear handwraps (not gloves) and headbutts are allowed. Oh, and 7 year olds routinely participate in the fights. Should be some fun stuff...

I thought they were thai karaoke cds at first. Mom has a billion of em. Actually all the oldheads I know do.

 

[sonicspear64]

I may not be able to get anything this month, but I was at FYE and saw 2 new copies of GG: Dust Strikers for $15 each and 4 new copies BK: Origins for $20 each. I may have to pick those up next month. I hope they ring up at a better price too, since they look quite old.

 

[Genroo]

I just picked up this at the Anime North convention in Toronto, Ontario.
