Bought Halo 2, 3, ODST and Reach. Y'know, to fill the gap between Halo 1 and 4, which I already own. And I pre-ordered the unnamed/numbered Halo game for Xbox One. :lol:

Other random games I ordered: Unreal Tournament III, Top Spin 2, GT4 and GT5:P (the only major GT releases I don't currently have in my possession), Project Gotham Racing 3 and Medal of Honor. And I preordered Deus Ex Human Revolution: Director's Cut and AquaPazza.

I also ordered a breadboard:
1270063607


And a book on digital electronics:

And an 8-pack of Campbell's Chunky Sirloin Burger:

And an 8-pack of Ice Breakers Duo Cool Mint + Raspberry:

And an Xbox One Play and Charge kit, because apparently the Xbox One controller still uses AA by default for some reason.

:P
 
That's awesome, enjoy it! 👍

Bought some new entertainment stuff:

Enjoying this Razer gear immensely. The headset was rather expensive, and I was afraid a gaming headset might have too much bass for listening to music. Fortunately it delivered whatever I could have hoped for. I love the pilot headset design, nice colour scheme, build quality is exceptional when I compare it to my dad's AKG headphone that was more expensive but feels purely like a piece of plastic.

The mouse is pretty much the most comfortable mouse I've ever had in my hand, and my old mousepad was starting to rot so I decided to go for a matching mousepad.

In the past I was reluctant to buy Razer gear because I thought it was pure overpriced crap, but I couldn't be more wrong. I even tried Sennheiser headphones that were double the price and I found the quality to be simply underwhelming and disappointing compared to the pricetag. Haters gonna hate.

Yeah, that's what I meant about spoiling yourself every now and then. No not cheap at all but their quality is fantastic.

Fair enough, the Edge is my spoiling myself.

Shaun
Good to hear the edge is going well. 👍
Did you get the cadence sensor for it also?

It is, though using Strava for analysing and GarminConnect for route making, it is rather awesome :D

No cadence sensor, as I'm cheap :lol: slightly regretting it though.
 
Got these.

Creative HS800 Fatal1ty Gaming Headset.
Cheap and everyone I have asked has said they are good value for money.
 
My latest toy. I've actually had it for about 2 weeks now but I've only just taken the photos.

And size comparison with my other bike.
LgMqFE1.jpg

IneaLxu.jpg

There's a 70kg - 80kg weight difference between the bikes. It makes freeway riding so easy but slow speed stuff will need to be worked on.
And the power. From the factory it supposedly put out 100hp compared to the Spada's 40hp (probably at the flywheel) and the difference is insane.

It's a VFR750F '91 model that's done nearly 64000km. The last owner had it for 11 years and had only done 12000km on it.
The last owner changed the tank to a 92 model after the last one rusted out from not riding and I've added heated grips but apart from that it's stock.
Also it's not as pink as the photos show it's definitely red. :dopey:
I think I'll call her Vivi. :)
 
I call that shenannigans. You're from Australia and there are no deadly animals in the photos...as if. Nice bike though. :P

Ah, silly European. Can't even find the many venomous spiders and snakes in their typical hiding spots in the photos.
 
I think there are some lovely little spiders in the plants near the door.
If it counts for anything the fridge in the last photo has 2 taps and 2 kegs in it, one beer and one cider.
 
Looks nice. My dad has a VFR 800 of similar year in bits in the shed after he smashed it into the back of a transit.

These were all purchased a couple of weeks ago:

Bought myself another GoPro Black Edition, also pre-ordered Forza 5 Limited Edition, cancelled the normal edition and chucked the money from that onto the Xbox One.
 
Yeah its very comfortable, TONS of features that came standard, its quick even for a 4cyl and as you mentioned...a great looking car. I dont know why people spend the extra money on hybrids either, the gas mileage on this thing has been amazing, I have gotten 38 mpg with mixed driving and just yesterday I got 44 in the city driving alone.
 
Scored all of this Saturday.
Basically new Kodak Colorchrome for $5. Normally I'd pass, but it was only $5 and was basically new, so why not?

Ansco Lancer for $1. It's a 120/620 Film camera, so I'll probably never use it, but Ansco was a local buisness and it was a dollar, so why not? (again)

Kodak No. 1A Pocket For $5. Probably never will be used, but who knows. Maybe if I can find someone to help me convert it to 120, i'd use it just to mess with peoples heads :P

And the one that's confusing me the Most, this one that I got for $10.

I believe it's an Wirgin Edinex, other than that I have no idea. it came in a old carrying case with all of this,
4970739c0f1511e3af5922000aeb0fcc_7.jpg


A Rangefinder, color filters I believe, a Kodak Portrait attachement, a filter for the Edinex, and i have no idea what that is next to it though. It'll probably get used atleast once, and if it works, it'll defintely get used, especially seeing as it came with that rangefinder.​

Traded my Xbox 360 Slim 250GB, a good 10 games for X360 and PS3, and 208 DVD's at Gamestop.

In total, I "only" need to pay roughly $165 US.

Must be time for the GTP staff to be buying new houses! I just did 2 months ago, now Jerome, one other (remaining nameless as I don't think he's posted anything "out in the open") in the process...

I know where your wife works![/singsong]

Yes, I'm a certified internet creeper. :P

Looks good, Jerome! :cheers:

Thanks buddy. The market is pretty good right now, interest rate is still under 5%. I convinced my boss and another co-worker to move too.

I also am expecting this today when I get home. Let's see if those 🤬 at Direct TV require you to sign up for a contract if it's 'available in your area' or if they play nice and just let me stream NFL games all season long on my computer for $40 :rolleyes:
