Do you have a Walmart? They sell the official Lotus brand from Belgium under the name of Biscoff.

Oh wow, you guys actually know about that? (I'm Belgian.)

Never tried the US release. If it is like the US Nutella then it will likely have a preservative added.

I love that this stuff was only invented in 2007. I gotta go try it, never heard of it until this thread.

What's more surprising is that it was "invented" through a television show (in 2007 indeed).

 

[Yes Boss!]

Oh wow, you guys actually know about that? (I'm Belgian.)

Yeah, it is pretty insane stuff. When I go to Belgium I bring some back. It is awesome in homemade vanilla ice cream.

I'll try the TJs version next week when I'm in California. It is probably just a rebrand.

I've tried it, but haven't really bought a jar myself tbh. You can buy a vanilla ice cream variety here with added speculaas paste as well in stores btw. (You know, Ben&Jerry's style)

I prefer just plain and simple speculaas (the traditional cinnamon cookies this paste is based of, which are unfortunately also rather hard to find outside of Belgium and The Netherlands.)

Oh, pretty cool. But you don't (or hardly) find them in supermarkets, right? It's crazy where you sometimes encounter typical Belgian export products like chocolate, beers, waffles or in this case speculaas.

Hey guys I have this too!!

Oh my god why did I not think to put this in ice cream thank you based god.

Picked up a 32" Sony Wega TV and Stand off of Craigslist.

The only way to play non HD games. I absolutely love it. Totally worth moving the heavy bastard.

I have the exact same TV, and yeah its a freaking tank, I moved mine by myself and its a real challenge getting through doors with it haha. Awesome picture quality though and perfect for retro consoles.

Not much this month.

Yamaha RX-V473

This whole, using the iPad as a remote thing, is new to me.

Didn't need the receiver but this thing made me upgrade.

Whew! What a week!

I had to book a trip to New York for work at the last minute. Since I was gonna be heading back Friday, anyway, I decided to book my return flight for Sunday morning instead. It gave me ~48 hours to power through the city by myself, meet a online friend, and meet up with an ex that I still keep in touch with. Great couple days!

I ended up eating at: Passione Pizza, Norma's, II Brigante, Shake Shack, Sprinkles, and 107 West, amongst a couple other places earlier in the week before entering Manhattan. Some of the highlights:

Also hit the Apple Store on 5th Avenue to satisfy my inner fanboy - MAN that place is busy! But I managed to snag an extra Lightning cable for my iPhone 5 to go with the Mophie Juicepack I picked up at Best Buy while running low on battery:

And picked up some goodies while out and about:

Got to play the WiiU at the Nintendo World Store! Awesome! Can't wait for November!

Grabbed the first couple episodes of Homeland and some music for my return flight... ... ... .... but this old favorite took most of my time:

When I got home, I hit up a Target to grab the "Action Pack" deal I saw posted on CAG:

... and finally, while I was gone, I ordered this for my mom and had it shipped to her. She's wanted one for a while

 

[xJavonta]

I know I say this all the time, but those pictures are gorgeous. I start a photography class next semester, can't wait to start taking some pictures that don't look godawful.

And I've heard lots of good things about Crazy Taxi iOS, I still need to pick that up. Thanks for reminding me.

So in all seriousness, is there any game/mod out there that this couldn't run at a silky smooth framerate? I have a single stock 680 and an i7 3770 and there is very little outside of mods that I can't overkill, and that's nothing compared to this rig.

Its almost like a new game, its from a top down view.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

So I guess since this is not strictly gaming...

The Frankenstrat in the middle, the SG, and the semi on the far right are all new.

Seriously though, I'm curious to hear from someone that isn't stuck up about headphones how these actually are, cause they seem nice.

Solo's are kinda bad. The Studio/Pros are good, just way too expensive.

Whew! What a week!

Some of the highlights:

Is that ice cream on top of fried chicken? Please say it isn't.

Ordered this for release at amazon.com. After 6 weeks of waiting they told me it got lost during shipping. So canceled my order, got my money back and ordered again at amazon.co.uk. Arrived after 4 days. That will teach me.

 

[Canis lupus]

YES

 

[donkey show]

Hori Vita crab grip. Sooooo much more comfortable now.

Last weeks pick-ups. Highlight was Guardian Heroes and Double Dragon II for a tenner. Happy to finally score a mint PAL copy of GH - and at an unbelievable price too.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

oh man, now i'm tempted to go to Shake Shack for lunch. There's one right by my office.....

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Few bits from the last couple of days. Bought a PAL 250GB 360 slim to take over from my aging Asian Jasper. This will be used for most games, with the Asian one handling imports.

And some other things:

Seriously though, I'm curious to hear from someone that isn't stuck up about headphones how these actually are, cause they seem nice.

I've tried them on several times to try to get different opinions on them. By themselves they almost sound a little tinny, and very unbalanced overall. To be honest, they aren't absolutely terrible, but I wouldn't call them very good either.

The real problem for Beats is that they aren't the only headphone on the market, once you start comparing them to other headphones, especially in the price category, they start to get destroyed. If you want perfect sound, there are headphones that absolutely blow the beats out of the water for half the price.

 

[Blue Submarine No. 6]

been looking for a complete the imortal for genesis to pop up for a while nice haul dragon warrior 4 loose cart alone goes for around $50

Me too... love that game... have been itching to replay it on the original hardware...

The Publix grocery store near me (in Atlanta, GA) started selling this Biscoff cookie spread. It's near the Nutella and Peanut Butter. And good lord is it godly on a bagel. So good.

Aww yeah, dat Euro Guardian Heroes with non-shitty box art.

Saw the biscoff cookie spread at Safeway this morning. Too bad it's more expensive there than at Trader Joe's.

Still, everyone should try the stuff on apple cinnamon bread with peanut butter - it's amazing.

A Vita for 100$!? Where?

You can go to the Sam's Club website, search "PS Vita" and then enter your local zip code and check store by store. On the upper right of the product page under "Online Price" you will see a "Club Price" if the particular store has one. If you see the magic price of $90-ish or $100-ish, you can try to go into the store and see if it's there. Their system is updated in 1 or 2 days so it should be fairly accurate. If you don't see it on the shelf, you can try to see if you can get an employee to look in the backroom for you, which is where they found mine.

Small note: A lot of people who got in on this deal could only find a display model in stores for that price or some that were missing the game, memory card, or case. I got lucky and mine was completely sealed and new.

One more small note: If you don't have a Sam's Club membership you can Google "one day sam's club pass" and print a PDF of a one day guest pass. That's what I did because I don't have a membership. In certain states, they charge an extra 10% upon purchase of an item, but in states like California, they are not allowed to. I even got some cheap gas with my one day pass!
