Pickups since the last couple of months

- PSPgo to replace my 1000, also picked up oreshika to try out in preparation for the sequel
- Some portable gaming goods. Wouldn't have picked up kagura normally but got a great deal from a fellow GAFer
- Finally grabbed WotHN and my most anticipated PS3 games for the winter

I have that book and have been reading it for a little while and it is indeed very good. My only gripe is the romaji used for some kana, like じ = zi instead of ji. But it's not that difficult to get used to. Besides I'm using mostly as a supplement to my japanese course.

The reading drills are very useful and overall progression is fluid, I find it very good for reading practice.


Well, this is my first post in the pick-up threads, I've been checking them out for quite a while now and have enjoyed them thoroughly. Nice that the "real pics" rule is enforced and everyone respects it.

So now let me join in on the fun, a recent pickup I thought would be nice to share

Grand Knights History w/ Bonus Artbook

Damn shame the game did not make it to NA, so once I'm confident enough in my understanding of the language I will delve into the japanese version.

I'm kinda sad that I cannot take Japanese courses, but I hope that with the book alone I will be able to read common sentences and start to play small RPG or games with missions like Ultimate Jump Stars to practice myself.

I do like that Pikachu 3DS XL, but not enough to get me to upgrade my current 3DS. Was hoping that we would get the Animal crossing on here in the UK, but i doubt it.

I want the Animal Crossing one too. So beautiful.

 

[Jrmint]

What'd that whole set of stuff cost? Looks like a great pickup.

I would do nothing but stare at that all day every day. Long been a fan of his amazing work. I bet it just makes you feel awesome every time you come home and see it =)

I paid CHF 410, that's about EUR 340 or $440.

Will also get Paper Mario, and I think that's it for the next months.

WHAT IS THIS COOL THING? WHY DO YOU TEASE US WITH NO INFO?!

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Oh yes.

 

[Ingueferroque]

WHAT IS THIS COOL THING? WHY DO YOU TEASE US WITH NO INFO?!

According to Google Image Search it is a piece by Jeremy Geddes: http://jeremygeddesart.blogspot.com

No idea why the poster didn't choose to mention that. But then again I have no idea why people pay money for printed photographs that certainly aren't 'limited'

 

[Sigma722]

For people wondering it is a print by Jeremy Geddes called "Acedia". It is expensive now. Good luck.

 

[()_listerfeend_()]

Sorry all, above poster is correct. It's 'Acedia' by Jeremy Geddes. It's a giclee print of a painting he did. It is sold out.

And personally I have no idea why people pay more money than I spent on this for DVD's of Anime or boards of obscure arcade shooters, so TO EACH HIS OWN!

 

[BOTEC]

I just realized I'm triple-dipping on each of these.

And I'm starting to think I should stop wasting money on games I already own and buy a proper fucking camera. Goddamn!

Haha

One day I will post one of my awesome prints and you will all bow in it's glory!!!

My Tim Swope Seven Samurai should arrive within a week. I'm excited. Will post pics.

Didn't get much since I'm broke right now. This Club Nintendo calendar came in though, lol.

And I got a white iPhone 4 for cheap to switch from my piece of shit Nexus S 4G. Goodbye Sprint.

GTA: Chinatown Wars - I already have this (and have beaten it) on the DS but I really liked it and this version is supposed to be better and have more stuff. It was on clearance, so I got it.
Ape Escape: On the Loose

Uncharted 2: Among Thieves GOTY Edition - The game is currently $29.99 in store but is $6.00 on Target's website. Their stores pricematch their website, so I got this for 6 bucks instead of 30.

Gamestop is currently having buy 2 get 2 free on all gamecube games. I was just gonna buy Zoocube alone, but the girl was like "go get 3 more things" so I did.

I'd normally never buy a caseless/gamestop branded disc-based game but this was free and I needed a 4th game for the discount.

Thanks to TWD gaf thread:


Finally received my Ubiworkshop Edition - PC, time to play this week-end.

 

[Saroyan]

I ended up getting some surprise freebies at work today. One of my coworkers brought in a few boxes of old dvds and a few other random things. I sifted through it and was surprised to find these in there. All are complete with manuals and everything, except F-Zero obviously, I was pretty happy

 

[Saad]

Black Friday/Cyber Monday haul:

Blurays from amazon for $4-8 (Ocean's $10, Planet Earth $17)

Do you expect this game to be rare?

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

Do you expect this game to be rare?

I think so. It may be a few years before people realize it, but I have a feeling this version is going to have an extremely limited run. One day the price will skyrocket without warning.

Does the Anniversary Edition feature anything new over the normal version?

 

[skarabrae]

My pickups the past few weeks:

Tons of stealth, driving, and shooting right there. Also, super heroes.

Not shown: Persona 4 Golden, digital

 

[dehydratedbabies]

Ohh December...

I've had The Sound of Music for $15 sitting in my cart on Amazon for several days now, I'm trying not to buy Blu-rays anymore because I always regret it when they show up on Netflix/Amazon, but damn I'm tempted.

It's a shmup.

Only new boxart and one poster, all the other is the same.

 

[Jo Shishido's Cheeks]

Thanks!
How's the poster? Is it of the cover or a new image?

 

[sixteen-bit]

It's an Amazon exclusive, so maybe.

I'm not convinced though, look at Akai Katana, RSG's previous release. Then again 360 games have a minimum print run of 50K right?

True, though I don't know print requirements for NA PS3 releases. I would imagine it will be a situation similar to Samurai Shodown Anthology on PS2. It was a web order only release and is difficult (almost impossible) to find in the wild today. A complete used copy of the game is holding its value at around $20, but NIBs are double and tripple that.
