This gem will change my gaming life forever:
What's the full cost of something like that? Including the cables you'd need for something like SNES, Genesis, and PS1/PS2?

hey hey new Vitabros!
In regards to this, i just got a new 32GB card from Amazon and started the backup/restore process. 41£/50/65$ being relatively cheap for one
16GB's just isn't enough when you start getting those 4GB games
Yup i've already filled my 16GB up, I think i'll invest in another or a 32GB soon.
I paid 30,000￥ including shipping on amazon.co.jp.
It doesn't include the cables.

Doing my Granddad proud by spending the inheritance he left me in a way similar to how he would have spent it,...
..on a brand new car.
MY14 XC60 R-Design Lux D4 (Diesel).
Fully loaded with the most ridiculous amount of extras I could stick on there - (everything bar the in built navigation, sunroof, digital TV and the power passenger seat).
Manual gearbox, as automatics are no fun. You can't make a prat of yourself by stalling it multiple times in a row the first time you drive it with an auto for example.
I bet my granddad is giving me the thumbs up from his cloud, whilst telling dirty jokes to all the other folk up there.

Thanks
. Yeah, I always liked the looks of them but back when I got my previous car (a Volvo C30) they were quite far out of my price range. But this time, with money in hand, I splurged... It just has to last me a while! haha.

Junior, please.
My biggest pick up for today. To become a citizen of this wonderful country.
I get to do this in a year's time! Can't wait!

Eh... I need that gordon print in my life. Should have bitten on the ebay ones when they were cheaper. Good selection of pickups and nice frame ups.

I was about to say the opposite, with them making the TV look small hehe. Awesome looking speakers. They sound as good as they look?
I've heard them before with a worse amp. They still made the heavens tremble.

These look amazing.
Pokemon X/Y will be my first since Red/Blue. I still haven't decided which version I'm getting :/

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Marantz Receiver
Some really nice pick-ups there, but for the love of God, give that Marantz some room to breathe.
Congrats on the pickup. CM9s are awesome. Did you Bi-Wire them?
That TV stand is awesome btw.

Yes they sound fantastic and look great! There really is a big sound difference each time you go up in speaker quality. I never realized it before but it is obvious once you listen to the right setup.
As amazing as it sounds now with the Marantz, im reading that I could make it a little better with an Arcam receiver or by adding an amp such as the Rotel or Emotiva. I'll save money over the next year and think about it. But right now I don't think I'll ever worry about changing out these speakers. Very happy with them.

I rushed to hook them up =)
It seems to be ok for now. The BDI Ola stand I have it in is awesome. There are airflow vents on each shelf and through the back. I'm planning to pick up some new speaker wires this week...i'll probably build my own. I'll move everything around then.
That Uncharted box always gets me.
One of these days I'll get off my lazy ass and import a copy.

I most certainly will but don't have the wires to do so yet. The Marantz actually allows me to bi-amp by attaching one set of wires to the Front and the second set to the surround rears. I'm leaning towards building my own wires. Maybe go with a Canare 4s11 mod like this...

I'm really impressed with the stand. I thought it looked great in the store, when i started to install components I started to appreciate how well designed it is. Routing wires, accessing components...so easy.

Best pickup of the year for me, so far:
Dragon Quest X Special Pack for Windows
Includes an encyclopaedia of Dragon Quest X monsters. (Now, I'm off for my 3-month probation appraisal at work! Wish me luck!)

I don't really like preorders and frankly, I don't care about this game (I don't even have what to play it on). I just bought it for the bonus t-shirt, since it didn't cost much. I'm not going to use it, probably will give away/sell dirt cheap, since it still gives some DLC and a bit off the shelf price.

Got the solid wood sword from a good mate who was in Kyoto buying new kendo gear. Time to retire my grandfather's putter as my 'Immediate Home Defence Solution'.
And first time taking a photo with the pictured Sony Xperia Z1. Lovely bit of gear.
Is there a noticeable difference? I've thought about getting one for a while.
I guess it depends on what you are running it from. I am using it with AKG K550 and HTC One. My HTC without the amp makes it sounds decent enough, but at higher volumes sound was getting a little distorted. This has made a great improvement, can drive the headphones better, sound is clearer, feels more like I am running it from my PC. Which is great.

I say meow a lot too.
Well, we've been calling him Orange because he is the color orange/blondish. Maybe he needs a proper name eventually, but if he gets use to Orange we might have to stick with it.

Amazon just delivered my copy.
I got it for $31 after deal from amazon, it was suppose to be $20 but used some of the trade in credit on something else.

Horror!
Gave my horror collection a bump, as I'm doing the 31 days of October challenge. Apart from Day of the Dead, which I love, I've never seen any of these.
Steam Games
Already played Knights of Pen and Paper on the Ipad and loved it, but decided to double dip while it was on sale. Really looking forward to playing the other two.
GTA5
Just some obscure game, you've probably never heard of it.

Orange works! Watson was given the name Blondie before they realised he was a he. Needless to say we didnt stick with Blondie.
