The "what I bought" thead
  • Because I figured, why not?

    Finally picked up Sakura Wars. I didn't expect the major retailers to just not stock it. Luckily I managed to track down a sealed copy at a gamestop. While I was there I picked up Beyond Good and Evil and Resident Evil 4 on the PS2.
  • viewtopic.php?f=1&t=4003&p=102873#p102873

    I had no choice. Also picked up Deadly Premonition.
  • I bought Glory of Heracles for DS because it was $11 and they gave me a $10 coupon. Also a book called Brace for Impact.
  • I didn't realize two day shipping meant one. I went to track my order and thought the internet was lying to me.
  • Two days means the maximum. If you're close to the hub obviously it'll get there faster.

    Since we live in New York, and a lot of stuff ships out of New Jersey even super saver shipping usually gets to us in one day. 8)
  • I lot of stuff I buy off Amazon ships from friggin' Indiana, but when I buy stuff from NCS it gets here super fast.
  • I bought Black Jack vol 11, and "The Theory of Special Relativity and General Relativity" I heard is a good thing :saucy:
  • After considering it for a while and hearing Dave give it a bit of a thumbs up I put an order in for Strange Journey. I picked up Devil Survivor on a whim a while ago, never was able to get into it. Hopefully this turns out better.
  • Super Mario Galaxy 2! Maybe I'll get to actually play it on Monday.
  • Oh The Unusuals. Nielsen didn't like you but I did. You're worth at least $17 to me.
  • I bought the Yen Press Azumanga Daioh Omnibus. 675 pages of better translated awesomeness, although I do hope they release the updated version at some point. I really hope more mangas get done in omnibus form. I'd like to have Monster and especially 20th Century Boys in a more compact format.
  • Doctor Who magazine, Doctor Who audiobook, Doctor Who print, 9 comics, 2 messanger bags, gas mask, a tribble, a sticker of a bear with 2 revolvers, a Haruko plushie, orange lantern ring, and a white lantern ring

    Thanks you Phoenix ComiCon for making me broke
  • Starcraft 2 limited edition GET!
  • I randomly found and purchased Fighting Spirit Volume 12 (which is crazy rare) for $15.
  • I purchased a house, and a billion new things for it. A Sofa, a Window AC Unit for my garage/party room, shower heads and a new floodlight fixture for my backyard.

    I wish I had money to waste on nerd stuff again. :\

    I did get a fuck-ton of gift cards from my house warming party this weekend. So I think I'm going to finally get an air compressor and a ladder.

    Once my $8000 tax credit comes in I might buy a new computer along with paying off my car and credit cards. :)

    Oh and I ordered a TV mount and amplified TV antenna off of Monoprice.com for pretty cheap.

    Up next is shelving! Whoooo!

    Hurrah for buying a house. I did that back in September so I'm going on one year with that one. Haven't bought anything recently though. Budget is tight until I go back to work with the new school year looming.
  • Shin Megami Tensei...Nocturne. This is probably a big mistake.
  • I had bought that about a month ago. My hour play time did not yield positive results but I didn't actually get into the actual gameplay. I' m sure its a decent game, but I just had to move it down my queue of PS2 I'm playing.
  • After 4 years the Nintendo fanboy within me broke the 10 levels from my subconscious and made me buy the 25th Anniversary Red Wii edition :shock:
  • I considered buying the red one for about 5 seconds, but since I don't need 2 wii's that I don't play I decided against it.
  • Can I have a Wii.
  • Why, do you need another bookend?
  • They're a little less showy than my brass gargoyles.
  • Where'd you buy that? $250 is way too much for an i5.
  • Oh opps, yeah there was something wrong with that tag. The 2500k is 180 and the mobo is 75. I bought them as a bundle so there might be a discrepancy in the price, irregardless.
  • Oh, in that case you got a good deal.

    Probably a mistake?
  • Did the barrel shirt come with it?
  • Hell no it ain't a mistake.
  • I don't know anything about those games, but I want a barrel shirt.
  • Its pretty much a gag that has been in every Gust game. Clickable Barrels that make the character say "Barrel!" when you click on them.
  • Batman Arkham City for 47 AU$. Played for half an hour so far. Mostly checking our Catwoman's features.

    Ps. Not really I haven't downloaded the DLC as we don't have XBL
  • It's like like $10 in real currency?
  • What, Xbox live or the DLC? It's only because we're living on mobile broadband that Xbox live isn't even an option.
  • Dude the NBN should be there by now, (Adelaide yeah?) 100mbps of internet straight to your face. FTTH FTW mate!

    Or are you one of those people that say "why buy a Ferrari when a Toyota will do..."
  • Just while we're building we are in a rental and didn't bother connecting the home phone. Where the new house is it's supposed to have NBN within a year.

    At the moment it's almost pointless because we do most of our interneterry from either work or phones.
  • I had the NBN in Tasmania and it is of a standard with Internet connectivity in Singapore and other major Asian capitals. Mainland Internet speeds in this country are the butt...
