Where was this at? I've been thinking about doing one for a while now. How was the experience?

Don't throw away the wrap it's resealable!

Best boxes/overall packages for catalog releases ever.
Yea, I'm not planning to throw away the wrap and yea, the packaging is sexy! Now I gotta look for the Jin Roh BR and GitS: Innocence BR as well. GitS can be found on ebay for a hefty price but finding Jin Roh is a pain in my ass. Really don't want to import it from Amazon Japan but if I have to...

It was at Raceway Park in Englishtown, NJ. It was a really great experience. I had a tight-knit team of 7 (myself included) but the teamwork/camaraderie mentality is present throughout the entire course; people you don't know and will never see again will help you out without you even having to ask. The obstacles were spaced out really well so I never felt like I was tired from having to just run for several miles at a time. That being said, the cold was the worst/most difficult part. One of my teammates and I have been lifting and training since January and we led our team but there were people on my team who do lots of running but minimal strength training and they did fine. Two of the guys on my team were wearing GoPro cameras so we have the whole thing on video from 2 angles. Already trying to pick a date to register for the next one!

Nice! A T&S fan on Gaf! How are you liking Get Along so far?

I should be getting my copy of Get Along with the three signed posters any day now. They're doing a screening and Q&A tomorrow night at the Vista theater in LA but all tickets were sold out before I even had a change to snag one for myself.

It's great. I ordered the Deluxe too, but they sent the posters separately which haven't got here yet. I was super bummed they didn't do a screening near me. I also have an extra copy that they are sending everyone that went to the Vancouver show, so I'm gonna have two I guess.

Excuse the poor quality, but yay! Blackberry Playbook 16GB!

Walmart (Canada) is having a deal (that kicks in on the Nov 18th and runs until the 24th) where a 16GB playbook is being knocked down from $499 to $198. In anticipation, people are buying them now at full price and price adjusting on Firday. I called around 6 stores before I was able to find one in stock and put one on hold.

Not opening until I can confirm the deal :)

And no, I don't hoard and resell. I missed out on the TouchPad due to laziness, but I did not make the same mistake twice :p

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.

Metal Gear Solid HD Collection: Limited Edition and freebie Tanooki Suit Mario Keychain

Use that keychain and I don't think your welcome here anymore. You'd be supporting the wearing of fur.

Expensive month, Zelda CE and Skyrim soundtrack also on the way.

Assassins Creed revelations animus edition, the encyclopedia is simply amazing, with lots of info and nice artworks.

Skyrim CE, the box is huge (almost as big as crysis nano edition, just little bit lower) statue and artbook are among the best ever.

Uncharted 3 Explorer Edition, awsome :D
Loving the diary style of the gamebox. And the statue fits really nice with the infamous hero edition cole statue.

Batman CE + rare and sealed press kit (sorry wont it for better pics)

Driver + Gt5 press kit (allready owned the signature edition)

how's the JP trilogy? i am really tempted...

Both Jurassic Park and The Lost World look very good. It's not the best picture quality you'll find on Blu-ray - JP is a little bit soft and grainy - but it's definitely a huge improvement on DVD, and the best these two are definitely going to look. Very vibrant colours and sharper than I've ever seen them before. Jurassic Park is, well, Jurassic Park and The Lost World is a much better film than I remember. I haven't delved into the extras for either yet. Not sure if I want to spoil the magic.

JP3 is likely to stay untouched.
