was free, surprisingly - but the delivery really stung. She's stuck in the shop for a while with my girlfriend, but I'll be able to download her to my home in a few days.

Only weighed four pounds. Same size as a Wii, should be quite energy efficient and fun!!!

Shame about those things though, free to play but to continue playing you need to spend a bunch on microtransactions...

Seriously though, grats. ^^

Congrats!

You will receive a lot of advice in the coming weeks. You can ignore almost everything. The only two things that truely will make your life easier:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000HZI1R2/?tag=neogaf0e-20

Seriously. Also, make sure your gf doesn't download every bit of DLC content. My daughter hasn't worn the same outfit twice and she's four months...

UK bro, but I'll have a look for equivalents if they do those two here!

Luckily, we've decided against any extra clothes or gear for her. Her side of the family is quite large (her mother has 12 siblings...), so we've ended up with an entire room full of clothes, nappies, wipes, cots, toys...everything. It's almost too much.

but we're not complaining. We've also been told that my parents are building us a house, and that's made us quite happy with our future.

It's fucking terrifying.

Even just holding her, I'm worried her head will slip off my arm and snap back (babies cannot support the weight of their heads on their own).

However by now, I've realised that the chances of that happening are near zero. It doesn't stop me from imagining the worst. Was holding her earlier, and suddenly got the image of me dropping her, and her crashing onto the floor.

It wouldn't happen, but just the sheer thought terrified me. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

You could always get the Halo 4 limited edition console that has blue led's...and forerunner noises for opening/closing the drive and on/off.

Just grabbed mine from Best Buy. Now my reach controller has a brother!

Also grabbed Dishonored earlier this month. Along with the goofy whale-oil lamp pre order bonus. Definitely my GOTY so far.

Ended up hating the Panasonic camera I just picked up so I went with this Canon. It is a much nicer camera. Better form factor, better video quality.




And again... More SNES games... Including a new copy of TMNT after the first one I got was all fucked up.

Some recent pick-ups:

- Final volume of 20th Century Boys (english edition).
- Ascension: Chronicle of the Godslayer: I really like how it's fast-paced. Also got some promo's alongside the main game.
- Some games I had on my list for a while (Wario, Star Ocean and DDS (already owned DDS2))
- Divinity Anthology (with dev journal signed by the devs). Just had to support my fellow compatriots.

Having both side by side, what are your thoughts?

Right now I'm finding it hard to get used to the BenQ's inferior color reproduction and contrast ratio when it's right next to the Shimian. After a few hours of use I count myself in the IPS 2560 x 1440 > TN 120Hz camp. I'm looking forward to a future where I don't have to choose.

Yea, I have a ACD 27 inch and had the Samsung 750d 27 inch 120hz tn. I just couldnt get over the poor viewing angles, contrast and color of the Samsung. Yes it blurred much less and 120fps with games but everything mention above was a real downer.

Also I have found the ACD to have the most uniform picture as I am very sensitive to non uniform displays, the Samsung TN was not uniform at all and when you would do panning from left to right or vice versa it looked horribly uneven.

Still incoming:
Skyrim
Fallout 3 GOTY

Used games for PS3 are just SO dirt cheap.

Yep.

I have a Dell U3011 and a Asus 120Hz monitor next to it as secondary...there's no contest in PQ. 120Hz is cool to but I prefer the IPS panel.

I also bought that Halo controller because of the blue lights and translucence.

Now I'm going to feel like a poser for not buying Halo 4
