My two packages arrived yesterday I have been so busy at work this week it almost slipped my mind. I had to do Applecare so much first gen possibilites it makes sense in the long run.

I am finally going to retire my 2008 core 2 13" it has served me flawlessly since day 1 never a single issue. Apple knows how to build a good product.

- Retina Macbook Pro 2.3 16gb 256gb model
- 2 TB USB 3.0 drive
- USB 3.0 hub
- Parallels 7 (Free)
- 6 ft HDMI cable
- 16 GB Usb 3.0 thumb drive

My recent acquisitions:

Two 24" Dell U2412M monitors to replace an old 2405FPW:

I came to the realization that I really dislike the space that physical media takes up, so I packed my entire CD collection into this:

Latest Ghibli Blu-Ray imports:

New goodies from the Steam summer sale, plus a couple other recent purchases:

But the most important one:

Got married to the love of my life! Best pickup ever.

Congrats, kikori.

Bought my new gaming PC. Was on a Sager laptop for the last 3 years. Now I just need to get some actual games to play that take advantage of the hardware (been playing WoW since 2004).

That is a thing of beauty. In retrospect I should have bought a case like this for my build. I've got an old clunker of a case that forces me to remove the graphics card just to slide out one of the hard drive bays. My next build, should I be so lucky, will be immaculate and well thought out.

 

[Ken Masters]

went to the local book store and bought this today because of your post, thanks

You should have the fan on the other side of your heatsink blowing through it and toward the rear exhaust fan. You don't want to be pulling air through the heatsink. Push is way better. Good job on the build though.

Last pc I made myself had to be over 10 years ago (when the processors looked like carts). Stuff got way easier since then, can't believe how little time it took to build it and get it running.

May I ask how much all this cost? I'm planning on building a new comp in the coming months.

Will do

A bit over $1100 with a copy of windows 7

 

[Soul Beat]

This got here this morning. But only now have I gotten the chance to open it.

 

[Yazuka]

Now I hope I'm satisfied with this...
Its been almost 14years since I last played Ocarina of Time, so that's going to be a nice treat hopefully. =) (Yeah, haven't played it since it was new on the N64)

 

[Sagitario]

This stuff just arrived:

Could you take pictures of the white 3DS XL, please?

[cw_sasuke]

Picked up my red 3DS XL and also got ToTA + Skylanders 3DS game together for 40€

 

[double jump]

been enjoying sotc so much (my first time playing)
I haven't touched ico or vanquished yet .

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Season One is pretty bad but I gotta hope they keep restoring the rest of the show:

Whenever I see this boxset it just makes me think of HD-DVD.

 

[Parakeetman]

 

[Schadenfreude]

Super jealous of all the XL purchases in here. A question though: The XL charger some of you are buying, is it any different than a regular 3DS/DSi charger? Does it have a longer cord or something?

Arent they just buying it because the XL did not come with a charger?

 

[Schadenfreude]

Arent they just buying it because the XL did not come with a charger?

I was aware of that. I was just wondering if there was a reason to buy an XL branded charger as opposed to just a cheaper DSi branded one.

 

[MarkusRJR]

Holy shit that Cave Story 3D box art looks amazing! Infinitely better than the shifty NA one.

 

[Parakeetman]

Ya XLs do not come packaged with a charger. But you can use the vanilla 3DS charger just fine.

Got a poster too. Though no room currently to plaster it on the wall.

I bought some ingredients earlier and basically put it all together, not knowing what bizarre creation would be the result of my experiment. ended up with this:

I don't know what the fuck it is. All I know is I need to make five more of them for tomorrow (family thing going on, need lots of pizza)

not bad for a first attempt

 

[NFreak]

I finally scored at a garage sale. My friends and I have been going to garage sales every summer for the past couple years and this is probably the best thing I've gotten. If anyone else goes out to sales, don't be afraid to ASK about video games. That is how I got this lot and almost every person I asked today who had no video games out for sale went and found some although there wasn't much that I wanted. Got this whole lot for 20 bucks. I looked in the bag the dude brought out and saw Chrono Trigger and I bought it. Had no clue Mega Man X2 was in there let alone the other games. I already have a couple of the games and I'll get all my money back just by flipping Secret of Mana.

 

[Cheddahz]

Meh, I thought I would try it out for 15 bucks

 

[Coconut]

Meh, I thought I would try it out for 15 bucks

Bought mine from amazon and also got the best buy bonus.

 

[gate777]

Picked up a Kindle Wifi model, no touch. Love it so far.

Did I do this right?

 

[coughlanio]

I spent so much god damn money this month

Picked up the XL this morning, and traded in my 3DS against the Vita. Didn't pick up any Vita games, but got a free code for Motorstorm RC.

 

[R3TRO]

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Only ever bought one issue of the magazine, 15 years ago... but it's probably my favorite issue of any gaming mag, ever. Uh... so yeah, I figured that since it's been a while, I might as well give them another shot:

 

[n8NMONSTER]

Limited Edition Alisa (on right),

Limited Edition Storm (on right),

And Adventure Time!

 

[RoninChaos]

$400 for the lenses and appointment? I don't know how different things are in the US, but that seems pretty extortionate.

That's about what I pay for mine with no insurance.

 

[RoninChaos]

Seeing these new computers reminds me how bad my cable management is. I really should rewire the computer. Hrm.

 

[SUPARSTARX]

That Beyonzo.

Got my mermaid princesses

 

[oblo]

 

[Cheddahz]

They were both on sale at Best Buy for 10 bucks each, so I figured why not

 

[plc268]

yep, super jealous of all the 3ds xl pickups here too... only because I have to wait 3 more weeks.

At least I'll get a power adapter with mine.

I have a special fondness in 90's gaming magazines. I wish I kept some of them. I probably need to scour craigslist or something and try to find some. Kind of off topic, but does anybody know of a website online to view old magazines?

Best source I've found over the years is Retromags, but they're not great. If their scans are actually online, it's rad, but they take 'em down way too often...
