where'd you pickup that s5 thing?
A friend of mine brought it back from his trip to Hong Kong. It works surprisingly well with Windows 7 and 720p video. No more re-encoding for me!

Hmm.

Is the DSi that funky green colour? Or is your lighting goofy?

Thought it was only black an blue.


It is just the lime green color...from the second run in Japan. Everybody seem to hate it but it is easily the best japanese color. Love.

Looks sweet! Have you tried it out yet? I'm thinking of buying one because the mighty mouse sucks bad.

Yeah,

Tried it out. Way better than the mighty mouse. Do it...though the $70 price tag is kinda excessive.

Picked it up on the way home from my bollywood movie in Artesia (Asin Love, LOVE). Took a wrong turn on the 55 and ended up in Newport Beach. So I bought a 32GB Touch in Fashion Island and also the mouse and then took highway 1 back to Laguna. Very pleasant. I guess you could say a $400 detour but, whatever, it was nice to see the neighborhood I used to hang out in after a few years. Also, picked up the new Cope that my work got in. Not into dip but I do like Swedish Snus and I'm willing to try this one:

I love how more people are replying to the guy who got a copy of inFamous with the redesigned PS3 box art than to the guy who has two copies of Modern Warfare 2 a week before release.

Can you do the 'back' or 'forward' command (two finger swipe left or right repsectivly) while keeping grip of the mouse? When I tried it kept moving out of place, very annoying, i'm back on a Logitech Revolution, pressing the scroller on it's side does it much better I think.

Nice mouse though, just a little odd to use the fancy slide features.

Honestly,

A bit too drunk to try it out now. I just plugged it in for instant use. Seems awesome so far. Tonight was my big Asin movie night that I've been waiting a year for so I enjoyed that then stopped at Mitsuwa for fun Sake and then hit up High Times for a ton of California beer to celebrate. I'll check it out tomorrow, but I'm gonna watch my Indian movies tonight. I'll let you know...

I got some of these about 3 days ago and honestly, the two finger stripes completely suck. Also the mouse is too flat imho. Dunno, maybe that's just me. On the other hand, the scrolling works pretty good and I love it so far. I guess you need to check that out for yourself and find out if it suits you.

Seems to feel good to me so far. I definitely like the weight. I'm kinda missing the squeeze to go to dashboard/expose but I'm sure I just don't know the proper way to access it. It is a nice mouse and super complicated...I just love the way it still looks like the classic one-button mouse. I dunno, after owning several macbooks this seems like a nice evolution and natural.

:lol Something is humorous about you making a wrong turn so you buy a $300 device.

Ahh, ok. I guess that's why I had never seen that colour.

That's the green DSLite. Yes Boss has the green DSi, which is a different green colour.

I think I picked up the last Radeon HD5850 in North America. It's so awesome to be able to play games at 1920x1200 with all effects turned on. :D

I got the same card about 2 weeks ago. Have you messed with the ASUS oc tweaker at all? If so what settings have you found stable?

That's the filthy peasant version.
I don't even own a Mega Drive any longer. But for $5 I'll pointlessly feed the nostalgia bug. Heh, cartridges.

Guess you don't get the pointless but sweet cardboard sleeve. It's extra edgy.

Got me some BDs recently. These doubled my collection to an impressive twelve.

And then I got me some good ol' fashioned videogames. Think I've put more hours into WipEout HD Fury (yes, it must be typed like that) than Uncharted 2.

And finally, much to my shame - anime:

Sweet pickup all around. Good taste sir :D

Yay :D Can't wait to play it!

Not my fave collectors edition, though. The 3D cover is kind of cool, for a stuck-on holographic design. It reminds me of those 3D dinosaur cards you used to get in breakfast cereals. The box itself is just cardboard though, and creases easily. Mine was slightly crushed in the post. I can see myself trying to swap the box for a regular edition, actually. :( Shame.

Anything special about that Predator BD? I bought my BD version at Costco, but the cover is different

I tend not to bother with overclocking; a while ago, I had a Phenom X4 motherboard from Gigabyte that I didn't know would auto-OC, and my PC went up in smoke as soon as I started Windows. I spent so long arguing with the retailer where I bought the parts that I've soured on an idea that I was ambivalent to in the first place. Also, I can't stand applications with ugly UI. :lol
 
My girlfriend had these at her house. I tried getting more info on them but couldn't find anything online. I'm digging the retro look. There are a total of 15 of the original 36 still unused.

Not that I'm aware of. The extras are very, very sparse and the menu is just plain horrible.

Dragon Age, and Modern Warfare 2 pre-order. The copy of Windows 7 actually came early last month; for free.

Needed a break from the Wheel of Time series. I'm about half way through The Gargoyle. Not too shabby thus far.

This is really a pickup due to the puppy we adopted last month. Hurray house training.

This was my dog's pickup for the month.

Picked up a new screen for my PSP which has been out of commission for about a year after I rolled over on it in my sleep.
