Here is my latest purchase (wich is my first online purchase on ebay)

101508VANDALWHT.jpg


I didn't knew some clothing pieces there are so extremely cheap compared to here in portugal. The problem was, T shirt for 12 dollars + 15 dollars for the shipping :crazy: Still, very very cheap compared to their price in stores around here :D

Bro I wait to get T-shirts when they're 3 bucks at target.
 
You know, it is crap like that that makes me wish PSN had something in the way of developer support compared to XBLA.
They do now, with some program that pays them bonuses for exclusives, but it has only been out less than a year. Since this post I also found Doom and Duke Nukem 3D.

But seeing how they do things I see how Microsoft has more money to devote to that kind of thing.

After a few days of messing with the system I have found that each has their strengths and if their creative minds ever worked together it would be a truly impressive thing.

Welcome to the darkside lol. How much of a deal did you get?
$60 in gift cards back from Target on the 360 and Forza 3 at K-Mart for $40. I will be using the gift cards for new jeans and Star Trek on Blu-Ray either today or later this week.

Bro I wait to get T-shirts when they're 3 bucks at target.
Most of mine come free from bars, or brewery reps at the bars.
Them: "If you drink this beer we will give you this shirt for free."
Me: You had me at 'drink this beer.'

The best is Miller Light; They send hot chicks in ref uniforms that ask you to order a Miller Light, any size, during Sunay football and they will give me a free 32 ounce Miller Light, plus a shirt.
 
I never thought of target, do they ship worldwide?

No, but you get my point.

:lol: I got a few Heine shirts like that.
 
Swapped my Fish Eye in for this;

The Fish Eye 2. It's much better, the multiple exposure and long exposure options are excellent and the fisheye viewfinder is a must have. You can also mount your own flash on the hot shoe which is nice.
 
As do I:

Check under my title for my GamerTag.

I have two very major issues though.

1) Someone is using foolkiller79. I could never get FoolKiller anywhere but here, but everything else I do uses foolkiller79, and some guy snagged it at some point before now on Live. So now my Live Id has to be different from everything else I do. :grumpy:

2) Why did no one tell me that Time Pilot was on the Marketplace? Let me guess, everyone under 30 years old ignored it as some stupid old game.

Other than that I am adjusting to an interface that feels more in my face than the XMB. Soon I will run an extra cable through the wall to connect my Xbox to the Internet. Until then I am running a cable from the bedroom to the living room through the middle of the floor when I need to do an update or buy something, but staying offline the rest of the time.

You, sir, will enjoy your life with Forza 3:dopey:
 
Yeah, it is more of a filler until GT5 arrives. What I find impressive is that when going between Forza 3 and GT PSP there is very little adjustment necessary.

I'm still learning the system for both the 360 and Forza a bit though. On the 360 I keep hitting Y to bring up a menu, like you would do with Triangle on the PS3, but that launches the software. It also took me a while to find how to redeem my download voucher for Forza 3's legenday cars pack or to buy points. And I am still trying to figure out if I can export Forza pictures and videos to my system.

But I have had fun with it so far.

Yay! Brand new T-Rex Viper guitar effect. Lots of trippy Univibey swirly sounds coming out of my apartment now. Nails Hendrix, 70s Pink Floyd etc. Sooo fun. :)

Only grumble is I paid $500 in Aussie buckaroonies. You lucky yankees, we get screwed over here, far more than any possible exchange rate/tax/transport costs could feasibly be!

For pics you have to upload them to your storefront then go to FM.net and you can get them. Send me a PM if need help with anything.
 
Early Christmas present for next month. :D





Perfect Grade 00-Raiser Ltd. Edition

You might remember me mentioning this about two or so months ago. Finally got around to purchasing it on Black Friday for an insane deal, and I got this as part of the deal as well...

Zeonography Qubeley Mk-II

Ended up getting a 25% discount on the 00-Raiser, and no shipping on both items. 👍

Now it just needs to get here so I can start building!

Very early Friday morning I bought a Samsung B360 32 inch TV online for $406, all said and done. It retailed for 550, was on sale for 380. I just picked it up at Sears earlier today, but I won't set it up for a bit.
 
After talking with several people and doing several hours of online research I finally settled on some winter shoes.

Hankook Winter iPike w409's. $380 out the door with install, balancing and tire pressure sensor swap. We probably won't get any snow this year because I actually bought snow tires. But whatever, I hope we get several feet of the white stuff.

I was going to get Pirelli 190's but I was beginning to doubt a tire that is brand new and hasn't been tested. Being a guinea pig didn't really do it for me.

Oh and these look cool too.
 
Took me a bit to jump on the bandwagon, but I bought this over the weekend:

:drool: is all I can say about this game.
 
So I picked this up on eBay. I'm going to do something very wise though and not open it up until finals week is over. It's supposed to be about addictive as a crack habit.

Let's see, playing against the hundreds of thousands of campers and 'n00bs' that dominate online play will give you the following...

- changes in blood pressure, heart rates, and breathing rates
- nausea and vomiting
- anxiety
- restlessness and anxiety

So, yes they're right it does have some things in common with a crack habit.
 
I refused to buy any more COD games long before 4 came out.. then I bought it for $40 which was a rip off... The only COD game I liked was the original and United Offensive.. Which was a lot of fun single play... Online was alright but at the time had nothing on CS:S... Now COD has turned into an all flash no content feeling much like Halo... The online is littered with bad hosts and anti-cheat system is a million times worse then VAC. Single player is not long enough to warrant the ridiculous $60 they want for a game that's seemingly been out for 5 years.

And for what Rue said is pretty true if you take any gaming seriously... I did played professional for about a year and a half for CS many years ago and it takes your toll on you.

I'm pretty much done with all online FPS.
 
Just won a Jerome Bettis jersey off of ebay for $50. It was the only one on there that wasn't a knockoff. It is the first thing I've bought for Christmas presents this year. 1 person down, 8 to go.
 
Some early Xmas presents for our Miata bought with anticipated Xmas cash...

Installed handbrake handle and gear knob already (flash-photograph makes the wood colours look significantly more different than they are!)
Steering wheel will require professional installation as it has room for the factory airbag, and I don't fancy blowing my face off trying to do it myself!!! :scared:
