Just got me a new laptop, Alienware M11x R2. What a fucking upgrade compare to the Asus Eee pc I've been using for almost 3 years! Now I can actually play my Steam games finally. Still tinkering around with the Alienware and finally using Windows 7 for the first time. Lots and lots of catching up to do!!!!

Bought GOW Origins Collection & ICO + SOTC Collection
Best Buy deal, buy ICO/SOTC for $40, get Dual Pack PS3 1st part game 50% off, so grabbed GOW OC. Used -$30 coupon = $30 for both games (4 titles)
Then 2 weeks later both games on Best Buy drop to $25 each, so I got price adjusted -$5 per title total: -$10
So I got both games, 4 titles, for $20, not bad, not bad at all (^_^)v

After finding a job about two months ago and finally paying off all of my debts, I've finally been able to do a little free spending. However, most of this stuff is from my birthday last month.
New PS3 pickups - Asian version of Biohazard Revival Selection, Japanese ICO/SOTC Limited Box, Australian ICO/SOTC, and Dark Souls.
Found that MightyApe had a PS3 version of Dead Rising 2 Outbreak Edition in stock for about 40% off.
New PS2 stuff - a lot of stores seem to be rushing out the last of their new PS2 stock, but a few publishers (mainly Capcom and Konami) have done fresh print runs of games recently.
Miscellaneous birthday gifts from the wife.
Metal Gear and Snake's Revenge. Working on a big Metal Gear collection at the moment, and these were the last two games I didn't have that were relatively easy to find.
Dead Island was a birthday gift from the wife's mum. Came with Turtle Beach X12s, handy for blocking out said mother-in-law's cackling
Whole bunch of gaming related books. The Metal Gear novels are probably cheesy and crap, but they cost next to nothing. Mega Man books were from the missus for my birthday - now got the full set. As for the hardcover guides, I try to get them for any game I own that has one, but it's starting to cause a bit of problem with space.
Lebowski and Star Wars on Blu Ray. I have a huge DVD collection that takes up too much space (most of them are in storage at my parents' house), so I'm being pretty strict with what I get in HD.
This next pickup won't mean much to anyone who's not from Australia. Fast Forward and Full Frontal - classic Australian sketch comedy. Obviously pretty dated, but there's still some great sketches in there. Kind of funny looking back on Eric Bana's old sketches and thinking about how he's seen in the rest of the world due to his movie career.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?

Easily in my top 10 favorite games of all time. I absolutely ADORED that game. Played for about 15 hours a day, 7 days a week, for the entire summer after 8th grade. The last summer I didn't have a job. Luckily my mom was super cool and let me hog the phone line all day long playing that. Even when friends came over, I talked them into split-screening with me and we'd play for hours.
Dumbest thing I ever did was sell the game for $42 on eBay a few years ago to pay for text books :-( ... Well, I guess it was necessary, but it hurts so bad not having that in my collection any more.
Enjoy it!!!

Yes, it was pretty dumb. Actually the entire packaging was pretty crap but I guess it was a free "upgrade" to limited edition. Good thing I got some adhesive tape removal pad lying around or it would drive me nut constantly touch that sticky case.

I just got this for $4 at a thrift store a few days ago.
Started my shopping for my Halloween costume this year. Seniors in my high school (including me) get to dress up in school.
Bet you can't what I'm going as:
Also got a women's blazer from Good Will, a blonde wig and a lightning bolt sticker. Now I need some kind of skin-colored tight shirt, a bra, and black pants.

I have been through 3 Starbucks Barrista Espresso machine's in the last several years and decided to go with a professional grade Italian machine this time - cost was just under $1K
I did a bunch of research before choosing the Quick Mill Silvano and the Bazrata Vario Grinder (Note that a good quality grinder makes more of a difference than the espresso machine).

It finally came in today. Was inspecting the case and it looks fine. 100% dent free. Got it 4 days earlier than estimated delivery date.

Macho Man?

First thing I thought of as well... then I realized how old I (we) must seem.
also, didn't MM's glasses (I had a pair back in the day) have elastic stretch straps in place of legs? May be that mine were ripoffs...
[EDIT] Can't find anything about the elastic, but here's a classic. RIP, Macho Man. OH YEAH!

Nice price on that, one of my favorite games of all time. I got the Sega CD version when it first came out and picked up the PSX collector's edition last spring but I haven't played it yet. If you haven't played it before I hope you enjoy it, it's a JRPG masterpiece.

Picked these up after work for $50. Sorry for a crappy camera pic.
