Here's a list of games you didn't ask for.

Also Kirby hits in 16 days or something?

I have say, I could listen to the Snatch soundtrack all day. It's so amazing. One of my favorite songs is the Kosha Nostra theme. Speaking of Guy Ritchie movies, did anyone see Rock'N'Rolla? I'm curious what others thought about it.

I have no art books. Don't really get the appeal personally.

So to the two of you that care, apparently the DS2 patch is out early
They're super pretty, often contain developer insights, and are a cool
er and cheaper
than figurines
I want the Fire Emblem Awakening art book but it's not in English so fuck that.
It's just another thing to add to your fandom of a thing. You could get a figure of Kamina doing a cool pose for $500 because it's rare or you could marvel at all this cool art for $30.
I certainly don't own any art books, but I've always wanted to expand into the territory eventually. The only thing stopping me is money and I don't have a good proper bookshelf for it.
I did try to get the FF: The Sky art book once when it was on sale, but it got lost in the mail or something. That bummed me out.

But, I can get all that through interviews and stuff. It's all over wikis and shit.
And cheaper sure, but in no way are they cooler!

The way you present it is what makes it unappealing to me. Like, figures, you need a desk, small shelf, any kind of surface and it's there out in the open view for all to see. A book, though, you need a bookshelf and a lot of them are hard to fit on the type I'd fit into my room and even then, they're closed on a shelf and I have to go out of my way to look at it.
And really, you can get an adequately cool figure for $30-50.
You don't get all the different art and insight from the artists and creators for the Korra books from the wikis. The art books are so ossum. Most if not all are not available to look at anywhere else unless someone that works on the show posted it on the internet, like storyboards and auxillery art to name just a couple types.

Absolute favorite artbook. Only thing that bummed me out is that it's almost entirely art, and very little commentary.

I'm in the minority that prefers rocknrolla over snatch.
But that's because of Gerard Butler and Tom Hardy.

Yeah Lucina looks really cool on the cover and I've seen scans of the inside. The art is GREAT but I can't fucking understand anything so it's a no-buy for me.

Haven't played it. Probs never will. And I'm not even really liking P2's music outside of Mayas theme.
Also, there are really good SMT and Persona piano arrangements out there.

Most OSTs I own are digital due to Humble Bundle. The only one I own physical is Persona 1. I need the game.
You actually need to play P1 in order to understand what happens in Eternal Punishment. I need to go back and play it.
You can, but for something like Gurren Lagann my mind just jumped straight to Kamina's best pose and that figure is a lot. You can obviously get something cool for much cheaper. I got my Satsuki figure for $30 or so and that's pretty good. It's just some people really like the idea of having a gallery of cool art to look at. It's not as easy to look at like a figure, but it's still cool. I don't think everything a person buys needs to necessarily be something to decorate themselves or a room. It can be something cool on a bookshelf to pull out and look at every now and again. If you want to express your love of thing to everyone that comes into your room then you're not really going get that. It's more reserved and mostly just for yourself most of the time. Some people just like to look at cool art too. Sometimes the cool art is also presented with background information of the show or thing to help give context to the creative process. It can be neat.
Although yeah, if you're like me where the biggest problem is the bookshelf then it makes sense. My bookshelf is wide and short. It's not great for books. It's not really great for anything. It was cheap though.

We're in the same minority. As much as I love Snatch, which has my favorite Guy Ritchie character Avi, mainly because of Dennis Farina, may he rest in peace, Rock'N'Rolla is still my favorite. It's probably because I watched it before any of the others, and because it also had an amazing cast.
