Won a auction at ebay of this for $0.01 and the shipping cost $9.42. Bought it as I'm getting a Thinkpad 600X because it was my first laptop(Well it was just a barebones 600 but I'm aiming for the Pentium 3 and DVD drive which is in the 600X model) and I regret getting rid of it(I've forgotten how I've gotten rid of it. True story). Another reason to get it is to add another usb port as the 600 only has one USB 1.1 port!

So I've been back from vacation for around a week now. So here's what I bought on vacation:

Galaxy-in-Flames.jpg

Faith-and-Fire-NEW.jpg

Hammer-and-Anvil.jpg

Soul-Hunter.jpg


And I bought some Five Finger Death Punch, Killswitch Engage, In This Moment and Machine Gun Kelly CD's as well. Yesterday I picked up the White Dwarf August 2012 issue.
 
Bought a copy of Rock N Roll Racing for the SNES for $15. Not the best copy in the world but it's not the worst! Pretty much what you would expect for the money since most good copies sell for $25 and up to $30. Same seller let me have a destroyed(half of the back was broken off and the battery was missing) and marked with black sharpie copy of F-Zero for the SNES for free. Gave it three q-tips with 91% rubbing alcohol on the pins and it works.
 
My most recent purchase was a Asus 1225b mini laptop. Been looking for a new PS3 game but can't decide, think my last one was Demon's Souls or GT5.

Got this last week after waiting for it since it was True Crime: Hong Kong. I really enjoyed it but it was somewhat on the short side. I'm hoping there will be a sequel on Next-Gen systems.

I needed some nice shoes and I decided on these ones because they don't look flashy or over the top.

Runners as in running shoes?

Over here people generally just call things like low-tops/high-tops and sneakers runners. Sorry for the confusion i'll change it.

They're white. That's the definition of flashy and OTT with shoes.

I'm my opinion the definition of OTT and flashy shoes are the ones with luminous/bright colours (like this) or ones with crazy designs. White is just too common for shoes over here to be OTT or flashy.

I can't help but notice that the game matches the color of your shoes. :lol:

I didn't really take any notice of that but your right, I guess i'm just a fan of that colour combination. :lol:

Just picked this up tonight. 1992 Subaru Legacy turbo, she's AWD, automatic... the price was too good to pass up. Gonna have some fun fixing it, that's for sure. Anyways, some crappy cell phone pics for now. Gotta tow it home tomorrow.

Doesn't look too bad. Personally I'd keep the paint as is, slam the hell out of it and throw on some steelies. Bam, Subaru Rat Rod.

Plan is to just fix it to driving condition for now. I thought the fenders would need to be replaced, but it turns out they're basically brand new. Just has surface rust. Also had a brand new turbo and tires put on it a few years ago.

Damn, sounds like a pretty good deal you got there. Does it need alot of work?

New battery, brake work, exhaust, small rust hole on the trunk, small bit of rust in the rear wheelwell, and the front fenders have surface rust. Other then that she's fine. Interior is absolutely mint. One small tear. No windows leak, sunroof doesn't leak. Got a steal considering I only paid $250 for it.
