Not really gaming related, but I am proud of it.

Picked this up yesterday, and I think I'm in love. I am very much a beginner, but this just seems right. Ibanez RG3EXFM1.

Green Day songs sound great, even with my dinky 10 watt amp!

A surprise by my parents! It's supposed to be my lawschool graduation present, and will surely accompany me in the future for signing important stuff! Thrilled! It has engraved my name, middle name and first surname.

While reading GAF, someone stated that amazon had the Dark Souls Hardcover Guide Book.
So I see the price for only $15 total, everything included, I bite, guess what I got today

That shit feel/looks like the Demon's Bible :

Thanks to both! Both my parents are big on montblanc, and specially my dad has a great collection. Both him and my sister have this very same one, it's turned into a sort of tradition (we're all lawyers, work together, etc.). At first I was like "you shouldn't have!" because I thought I wouldn't make it worth it, but it's growing on me very fast. :) Will surely keep it safe!

I've waited too long to get a PS2 again after mine broke what feels like 200 years ago.

Next on my list is Persona 3: FES and 4 from Amazon and sometime after that importing Xenosaga I

More goodies for the October album!

I went to the ski/snowboard show and abused my credit card a bit:
Burton Ranger GMP jacket, Burton Poacher pants, Tech Nine board (157), Blue Mountain 5x7 pass, Blue "I love winter" bandana, Serius softshell bandana, RC stomp pad.




And my latest woot shirt came in:




The jacket was originally $400 but I got it for $150, the board was $350 but got it for $210 :)

If someone ever gave me a pen as a present, I'd punch a hole through someone's face.
 
Finally got my headphone setup finished by purchasing an Astro Mixamp. It's simply amazing, Gears of War feels like having advantage over everyone else, because now I can clearly hear every footstep and the direction it's coming from.

My first order at game.co.uk. One of the better shops from uk (compared to zavvi, thehut), I've had no problem at all with them and it arrived just as fast as it would have if I would've ordered at amazon.co.uk.

And I accidentaly ordered the Xbox Version of Dark Souls first, so now I've got both versions. Doesn't really matter, since I can trade it in at gamestop for almost the same price I paid at game.co.uk (if you count in exchange rates, I've paid about 45 Euros and gamestop pays about 35 for it)

Also, I forgot to post the most expensive purchases of last month in the september thread. This baby is standing to the left of my TV, it's my first slim Xbox and its so quiet, it almost feels like playing PS3.

And yeah, for a Gears fan like me, the Epic Edition was a must buy (and kind of a bargain for 120 Euros). Marcus is standing to the right of the TV.

Bought The Event from Amazon's UK site. It's not available on Blu-ray in the U.S.

So many comics so little time. I'm not a DC guy but since they rebooted each series I guess I can try and get into it.

Won this on ebay and realize this isn't the version I wanted (I wanted to get GitS: Innocense JP ver) and I'm not too very keen on keeping this version since its only 2.0 audio. Its better to get GitS release here in America since it is 6.1 audio. What does anime-gaf think I should do in this situation since this one I got is rare. Keep it or flip it back???

The 6.1 audio is on the defiled-with-CG crap version (GitS 2.0), though. We didn't get the original version of the movie here in the US.

Keep it.

Also don't throw away the wrapping on that box (if you still have it) it's resealable!

Nope, it's the original.

2.0 isn't so much updated CG as it replaces hand drawn segments entirely with bad CG though. >_>

Criterion collecting is a fast acting sickness. :( I'm gonna go broke soon..

(BD versions, I removed the shrinkwrap before taking the picture)

No prob. I had to import the JP Blu-ray myself because the changes were so awful tbh. So glad that the JP release has subs (and the dub.)

Where did you get that Piccolo toy? I used to collect DBZ action figured years and years back, until they stopped making the cool nice ones and started making cheapy plastic ones that were more pose able. That reminds me of the former ones. Probably the only kind of action figure I'd willingly display :D

I was going to get the regular version, but Gamestop had one Collector's Edition left and it was the same price as the regular edition, so I just got it.

My Gamestop was having a buy two, get one free sale for their opening, so I got those.

The only one of those that I've read is Robots and Empire. It's pretty good, but it helps to have read the previous Robot Series books and Prelude to Foundation and Forward the Foundation. I don't know if you've read them or not.

Yeah I am planning on reading the robot series books first. I have also read The Foundation though not its prequel.
