It has been a very, very merry Christmas.

The book on the left is 'Bury my heart at wounded knee' - Assassin's Creed III has left me with an interest in American history.
The Hobbit was a GREAT Christmas present from my sister-in-law, who managed to know that I wouldn't want the cover with the new movie photo on it.
Not all of these are Christmas presents, Dragon Quest X was bought a few months ago but only turned up a few days before Christmas.
The Gamecube imports were bought from a friend and the 3DS pickups were from early December.

All in all, I'm surrounded by awesome games at the moment - Dragon Quest X vs. Assassin's Creed III vs. Monster Hunter Tri G HD vs. New Super Mario Bros. U.. Where do I start?!
 
Got it from here last month when they had pre-order special for $429.

Price is bumped up to $589 now and shows in-stock. Both the retail and bambaland are hard to find still and according to 3A they have an ultimate deadline of Chinese New Year to ship all pre-orders.

I do feel bad for the folks who pre-ordered this from Sideshow and most retail places in the US in early 2012 because I know most have not received their shipments.

I have not opened it yet.


I believe it's out at most retail stores, but the bambaland edition that comes with Snake still has not shipped yet.

Correct, I have both Bambaland and Sideshow preordered and neither one has been shipped :(
 
Some pick-ups from the last month or so, whether it be christmas, black friday shopping, or just shopping. I've been spending too much money blergh

Anyway, some vinyl:


Clockwise from the top left: Drexciya - Journey of the Deep Sea Dweller II (got to get III asap!), Actress - Splazsh, Mobb Deep - The Infamous, Beach Boys - Pet Sounds, Vondelpark - nyc bags and stuff EP, Julianna Barwick - The Magic Place, and James Blake - James Blake. I got some more too but didn't pull em out to take a photo.


Movies:


Some impulse cheap buys on stuff I've never seen before, like curious case. I heard that movie sucks but for like $4? Whatever. Also some classics I didn't have on blu-ray. All of it was super cheap on BF.
And one of my favorites finally on blu-ray...



Finally, some video games:


I rebought some games on black friday, got 999 and ME trilogy for xmas. I've played ME1&2 so I'm excited to go through the entire series and finally play three. I've got a lot on my plate!

I've also decided to collect some of my favorite gamecube games (only about 15) so I'm buying these one by one. I already bought Metroid Prime & Starfox adventures. Some of the games on my list are expensive :(

  • Razer Lycosa keyboard (not on so it's not lit up)
  • StarCraft 2
  • Radiant Historia
  • TRON Legacy BluRay

Welcome...to the addiction.

I hope so. Have GW2, but I rarely play. Lord knows how I'm going to balance school, my Steam backlog, my book backlog, Halo 4, LoL, SC2 and WoW, and hopefully a job soon (need a new part-time. Especially if I'm going to be getting time cards for WoW. Everything together came up to $40 with tax so I said "Why not? Even if I don't play much/ever now, I'll always have 'em! Good price too."). Damn impulse buys. D:
 

Yoshichan

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?
Good luck Windam :)
 
My friend is visiting over the holidays and when I met him for lunch today he said his dad was cleaning the house and found his old Dreamcast and games. Long story short, he gave a box of Dreamcast stuff to me. I opened it up and completely forgot that he had a certain UK import...

Why and the heck are the UK Dreamcast cases so weird? The manuals just sit in the back of the case?

Good luck! Quit wow a month ago and I'd be lying if I said it isn't hard to resist playing, especially after playing for 8 years.

Was thinking about picking up the new 27" iMac, but after some thought upgradability won out against sexiness. Even though, after seen dat screen in person I instantly regretted it!

I'll mainly be using it for gaming and editing so I had to go all out on the parts.

SPECS:
Core i7 3.5GHZ
GTX 670 2GB
480GB SSD
16GB RAM
Corsair 600T Case
H100i CPU Cooler

It runs Win 8 Pro & OSX ML.

Anyways, here are the parts in a group shot:

PC porn

Nice rig but is there a reason you didn't put the 2nd fan on the H100i? Should be in a push configuration if the fans are on the inside. I have the OG H100 btw. Just wondering!

Yea, the fan was actually blocking the memory modules, so I had to put it on the other side of the radiator. That fan pushes air in, while the fan on the inside pushes it out. It seems to work, but I may get a low profile fan at some point. I should have gone with the H80 :/
 
I used to own a rug just like that stupid gf made me chuck it out. Why did you buy two ac3 copies.

Because I went to GAME one day and traded in a load of stuff and wanted the PS3 Join or Die edition - some collector tat and bonus content, also PS3 version to link with my Vita version.

Then I got a WiiU and my Dad asked me what I wanted for Christmas - I figured AC3 off-TV would be ace, end of story.

Got a couple of screen prints recently:

This one was for The Faint show in Washing, D.C. a few weeks ago. My pal, and Gaf member, dreweyes did a print for the show, and we were able to get a few signed by the band. Here's mine:

The Faint poster is awesome! Any chance your friend would do a run of anymore? I would be interested.
