Best pick-up the year for me came yesterday, this news from my mom via text:

Long story short, she was diagnosed with cancer (specifically Aggressive Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma) this last may - a week after she retired no less, and has been under-going chemo ever since. Apparently it's been working really well and the lymphoma cells are all but gone She goes in next week for a stem cell transplant as part of the final stage of her treatment (at least for this year).

Words cannot express how elated I am.

Here's mine! It's not much, but it's good.

Watch is a little big for my wrist, but still extremely cool. I love how bright the display is, too.

Damn, wish I would've seen how cool the watch is. I'd have pre-ordered just to get that superbrite laser powered blinding watch. VLR be damned, because that watch is awesome.

Actually my camera sort of exaggerated its brightness; only the numbers glow, not the entire area around it. Looks a big radioactive in the picture, haha.

Picked these up yesterday, had ArmA 2 sitting there for a while.

This pickup has a bit of a story to it.

I was randomly checking the video games craigslist as I was listening to the Tested Octobercast... Normally the ads consist super over priced NESs, SNESs, Genesis, etc. Then I noticed a, "NES and games" that was about 10 minutes away for $75. The ad listed about 22 games with some good ones like Zelda and Donkey Kong. Again, only 22 games were listed in the post. I figured I would check it out if I can get the games for $2.50ish each.

Shot off an offer of $40. We reached a deal at $55.

I drove the 10 minutes and was greeted with two people in a 7-11ish store parking lot. They clearly were not into games, it was just sitting in their basement or something. The presented this:



She then admitted that there was more like 40 something games. They found some more as they put it all together...

yeah... there were a lot of games....



And then...



So... for $55 I pull in 52 NES tapes:



Easily one of my best CL finds in a lot time, arcade machines included.

And why did they own 3 copies of Legend of Zelda? No clue... But it seems like a lot of people had duplicates of games. Two copies of Super C too...

 

[Auron_Kale]

Yep, VLR watch is pretty dope. It's on the big side but I need to get a flathead that's the size of it, have one that's too big & one too little.

 

[dragonlife]

The watch is Aksys's way of saying they expect their fans to be fat. Kind of like Atlus USA and their shirts.

 

[BlackJace]

Picked it up for 20 bucks.

Heard it was good. Not Conqueror of Shamballa good, though. That shit was bananas

You can adjust the size. Look at the instruction manual that came with the watch!

How are those WD Red's for NAS? I am in desperate need of upgrading my NAS storage, and the Red's look pretty good.

I've been running 6 of the 3tb ones in a home built raid 6 for like 2 -3 months now, and so far they've performed great. Really happy with them

Wow, that's an amazing haul! Way to go.

I'll be honest, Guerrilla War is the one I'd be most excited about. Mainly 'cause it fucking rocks.

 

[Noisepurge]

is that a huge dent in your Ipad or just the lighting?

just the light, i think the iPad would be dead from a dent like that

How are those WD Red's for NAS? I am in desperate need of upgrading my NAS storage, and the Red's look pretty good.

Western Digital Red Review: Are NAS-optimized HDDs Worth the Premium?

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6157/...eview-are-nasoptimized-hdds-worth-the-premium

Final Words

With the WD Red lineup, Western Digital continues its successful branding initiative. The three disks that we have had in-house over the last month have performed and held up quite well under stress. The disks have the optimal balance of firmware features necessary for usage in NAS systems. The icing on the cake is the fact that all of these features are configurable, if the end user so desires. The power consumption profile is also very attractive, and the reduced IntelliPower rotational speed doesn't seem to affect the performance much (at least in the SMB / SOHO 2 - 5 bay NAS systems that these drives are meant for).

Are these features worth the extra premium? We have no doubts about that, as the extended warranty period (3 years vs. 2 for the Green drives) and 24x7 support, as well as the lower power consumption should pay for itself over the course of the lifetime of the drive. Irrespective of the warranty / RMA possibility, consumers would do well to keep data on any hard drive (including the WD Reds) backed up (if possible, in a different location).

On the basis of our evaluation, we have no reservations in recommending the WD Red lineup as the drives of choice for a NAS system. As usual, it is extended usage and consumer reports a few months down the line which will tell the true story. At the moment, however, WD does have a winner in the NAS market segment with the WD Red hard drives.

What? COS was probably the worst non-H anime I've ever seen...

What'd you today? I earned this:

[Warrior Dash]

Good on you! Ran eleven miles yesterday afternoon. Try to pick up 3-5 more if the rain holds out this afternoon.

And hooray to Loxley's mom for being cancer free!

 

[BlackJace]

Well damn. I thought I was one of the best I've seen. Keep in mind I haven't been collecting and watching anime for that long.

Difference of opinion I guess.

 

[Takamura-San]

Picked this up on friday.

Is finally official. I was in disbelief until I had it on my hands.

 

[BlackJace]

Congratulations!

That's a great achievement.

New TV after the ex went crazy and pulled the old one over. Ended up claiming on insurance as she damaged corner and also the optical out port, (TV still worked fine though) took over two months for them to get the parts and the other week they said it could be another month yet, so they wrote off the old one (I can keep it and dispose of how I wish....) and then gave me the 2012 top of the range from LG.

It's an absolute beauty of a TV Oh also got Sports Champions 2 lol

 

[Majine]
