My birthday was on Thursday, so I got a few gifts and splurged a bit.
I didn't plan to buy a strategy guide for Dragon Age, but I saw the hardback guide and just about popped in the store.
Video reviews of the Japanese version of Style Savvy piqued my interest - then Nintendo brought it over themselves, for good reason. This isn't your kid sister's Imagine leftovers. It's slick, polished, and there's beaucoup content. My boutique is a tight operation.
Valkyria Chronicles and Mirror's Edge are LTTP games for the backlog, while Underworld has been on To-Buy Notice for a year. It just hit $20 at GameStop, so I was all over it.
I'm unsure about Pro Evo. It's crazy fun, but worth eating FIFA time? This one's fate may be eBay, but I'm all heart, so I'll give it time.
Deadly Weapons and Double Agent 73 were gifts from a buddy who gives me shit about my den. :lol Semi-gag gifts, but I'm over the moon.
They're absurd mid-'70s topless sexploitation flicks. Camera-enabled spy tit? Check. Smothering mobsters in deadly sweater puppets? Done. Honi soit qui mal y pense.
The Beach Boys: Live in Knebworth DVD is one I owned a few years back, but lost. If that ain't enough to make you flip your lid, it's got a must-have bonus CD.
I figured I'd take a chance on one of those Wiimote shells for NSMB Wii. All I care about is the d-pad. If THAT works as intended, it's on. Golden.
Dead Rising is a game I previously owned but regrettably sold, so I'm glad to have it back. Don't sleep on Gold's Gym, probably the most fun exertainment title on shelves.

Wow, thanks for the impressions on Style Savvy. Completely forgot to order this and I just checked Amazon and it states it came out last week!

How???
A combination of college freedom, and having friends with similar weird hobbies has led me and a group of people to be on the market for gameboys. So far I have an sp and a pocket. The games are super mario land 1/2, pokemon red, and tetris. Any other gameboy games I should be on the lookout for? The only other one I can think of is Link's Awakening.
Already beat Uncharted 2. It's probably my game of the year. I picked up RE5 for split screen co-op.
I also recieved a Michael Cera cardboard cut-out.

Dude, could you please repost your den pictures in the Gaming Setup forum? I love looking at them occasionally because they are so crazy which I mean in the best way. Thanks man

Underworld is really not a great game, but Lara looks great in it so I have the feeling you will enjoy it much more than I did
Plus you have the option of picking her outfit every mission, and there is always a skimpier choice. Have fun!

I hate everyone with MW2 already. =P
Anyway, like many other people I picked up another 360 today, haha.
Not much quieter than my old system even though this one was manufactured in late August and is a Jasper (smaller power brick, built in memory). Weird.

I remember seeing someone who had a glass pot for their DS games around here on GAF, can't remember if it was on the pickup threads or the gaming setup one. But since then I've been meaning to get something like that, so I decided to get myself a fish bowl for them.
Maybe I'll find out who exactly was that had the idea now.

So is everyone just breaking the street dates or what? I am gonna feel all salty waiting until the end of the week to get mine from Amazon, but $20 credit makes it worth it.

Why didn't you opt for Release-Date Delivery?

Don't forget the downloadable CoD Classic. It's not a bad deal if you ask me.neojubei said:

SlaughterX said:
That's fine, but considering how poorly Amazon can handle shipping of new titles that aren't shipped with Release-Date Delivery, and the fact that Wednesday is a holiday, depending on where you live there's a possibility you won't receive the game until the week after next regardless of what your current delivery estimate says.
If it comes to that, I'd recommend sticking it to Wal-Mart and picking up the game from them and then returning your sealed Amazon copy when it arrives.

Nothing wrong with collecting Game Boy stuff
As for games, Link's Awakening is obviously a must. Here's some to start you off:
Donkey Kong
Donkey Kong Land 1-3 (if you only get one of them, get 2
)Duck Tales 1-2
Kirby's Dream Land
Mole Mania
Tiny Toon Adventures: Wacky Sports
Wario Land
Like the hat?

bought Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars carts off Chairhome in the b/s/t thread. Then I bought Symphony of the Night on PSN.
Later I'll buy NSMBWii, and that'll be it for the month.

Well I definitely appreciate the positive feedback. It's always fun when others see the appeal in the den's craziness, so thanks for the comment.
I'll toss some photos into that thread early next week, on my next day off.

I'll tell ya, the Something Weird catalog is wild.
The two Chesty Morgan movies were the obvious best choices for me, but they've got quite a selection.
Got any recommendations? Not just sexploitation, pretty much anything you know of that's worthwhile.

Thanks for the info! I expect to dig it, Tomb Raider is always safe. At their worst, TR games are still a solid ride. At their best, we're talking AAA titles.
A little adventure, satisfying combat, and rockin' tits: these are the finer things, in games and in life.
