Latest Buys

[Police Girl]

So, if my post in the "What are you thinking now?" thread didn't make it obvious enough, I bought the FF7 Re-release on PC.

They didn't even remove the Eidos logo...

Also got VVVVVV, but that's not that important.

[Quickman]

Valiantly Victorious Vicious Vulpine Vacuum Violators?

[Police Girl]

Nope, just VVVVVV.

Oh, and I guess I own Braid, Super Meat Boy, and Lone Survivor now because of a Humble Bundle update that I never knew about until now.

Kick [tornado fang]ing ass, more games I paid almost nothing for.

[Mirby]

VVVVVV is always important. That game is awesome (plus Souleye's soundtrack is fantastic).

Lessee...

-$10 on Black 2 preorder

[Phi]

3 Month Playstation Plus package. I don't know why I bothered, but It happened.

[Ladd Spencer]

I bought Pirates! Gold in box for Genesis for ten bucks, which seemed kinda steep, until now. I just looked behind the manual, and there's a map of the Spanish Main. Man that's a cool find.

Pikmin 2
New Super Mario Bros. 2 (Physical)

Pikmin 2 doesn't have a reversible cover like the other "New Play Control" games? Lame.

Oh, some things i've pre-ordered:

Deadman Wonderland DVD Boxset
Neuromancer Yoko Littner
Nendoroid Petite Tales Series Box

[irgpie]

A used PlayStation Vita w/ 8GB memory card for $226 (after tax)

It was only 3 months old. Glad I've a friend that used to work at the store to keep track of these things.

I ordered the S.H. Figuarts Akibarangers off of Mandarake.

[Reaperoid]

Is Mandarake any good? I see it mentioned a lot...
I was never really a figures man, but hey, the SHF Akibarangers look really great.

They're pretty good for finding out of print figures and discounts. Though that stems from Japanese OCD when it comes to the condition of the box, they will call minor dents "severe damage".

I just visited a library in Mississippi and grabbed a few cool things off their book sale rack.

Tai-Pan by the guy that wrote Shogun and The Man with the Golden Gun by Ian Fleming for fiction

Why the Rest Hates the West, How to Increase Your Speed and Agility, Que's Computer Dictionary (from 1992), and Video Movie Guide 2001 for nonfiction. The latter two are really comprehensive, despite the computer book being a tad antiquated.

And, the tour de force, the Rocky IV soundtrack on tape.

needs moar Zuckuss

[Quickman]

They didn't have the Hallmark ornaments there, but they will have them at the NYCC, so I'm putting out a call to arms; someone going to NYCC please snag me a set.

Finding Zuckuss collectibles is actually pretty tough.  I scoured booths all over for items that I didn't already have.

On it. Which nerdaments in particular are you looking for?

[Quickman]

Zuckuss and 4-LOM exclusive Hallmark Keepsake ornaments.  These.

[Protoman Blues]

Gotcha!

[Police Girl]

Ordered the Ratchet and Clank Collection.

I'm honestly not going to have anymore money. Really gotta get a job.

[Mirby]

Groceries!!

oh and some Theatrhythm DLC.

[Quickman]

Groceries!!

Some stuff from Horrorfind.

And, I discovered something new at my local grocery store.

They're selling beer.  It was so weird that I bought a six-pack.  Yaaaaaaay alcohol.

[Flame]

This lovely pocket watch. At least a week ago.



That site has really nifty stuff. The pocket watch selection in particular is really nice.

It's coming from Prague though (by postal), so I dont expect it in for a bit.

[Quickman]

That is a very lovely watch.

[Flame]

I know right? for only 31 bucks.

My friend had another one from the same site. they seem to be pretty good quality. unfortunately for him though, his mainspring broke after some time, and good luck finding a place to fix that. (for a reasonable price not to mention)

EDIT: in more RECENT news, a new phone.

An LG Optimus Elite from Virgin Mobile.



Its just a monthly prepaid, yet comes with unlimited text and Internet, and 300 minutes per month for 35$ a month, which, considering I really don't talk much on the phone, is just awesome deal.

The phone was $99.99 though.

New Super Mario Bros. 2. Pretty enjoyable.
