Well, I actually got these yesterday, but it was late enough to put off posting this until today. So without further ado, I'll explain what these are.

On the left is a Nyrius BT40 Bluetooth audio receiver. What it does is take a Bluetooth signal and outputs it through a 3.5mm headphone jack. Neat for things that aren't already Bluetooth enabled.

On the right is a Microsoft Wireless display dongle. It's Miracast, so I don't have to connect it to my WiFi or anything; plug and play. It gets power through the USB, so I have to make sure there's one nearby. But if there isn't, Microsoft have included an extension HDMI with a length of about four inches (what an extension!).

Bought a 6ft HDMI cable for the parents' tv.

Meijer had a single cable for $17, but for $20 I got a 2 pack. So now I got a spare HDMI cable for later use.
 
The only problem is that with my current monitor/keyboard setup, I can't fit my G27 on my desk, and I hate keyboard driving, so it's probably going to be unplayed for awhile. Do you know if it's any good with a controller?

I... don't remember. I know it's ridiculous with a keyboard though. I'll check right now and get back to you.
 
So playing with a controller. No.

It plays well and you might enjoy it with a little bit of tinkering (I used default everything for the pad) but as I played it it was just weird, and the steering never feels centered or even stable.
 
So, with two weddings coming up, and the Rogers Cup finals, I figured I needed a new blazer:

Still need to get a decent pair of shoes to match though. And maybe a new shirt. And a tie bar...

Oh, and finally grabbed this:

I bought a new fan for my bedroom a few weeks ago and installed it today.

EDIT: Apparently my picture does not want to show up. :irked:

Let me try this again:

Yesterday, I bought some floor mats.

EDIT: Not showing up unless Quoted. Hmm.
 
So, this might sound silly. But I bought my sister a lama puppet... That's my gift for her after she leaves for college :sly:
 
Said screw it and spent $100 on some plastic bricks. Got it from the official Lego website, figured finding it in stores wasn't worth waiting for.

Didn't realize the Mini kit was still around. Want that too... :crazy:

I would mod it afterwards so the lights lit up.
 
Got a used Heatkiller GTX680 Waterblock for $51(with postage)

Sniped some poor fool.
Kinda feel sorry, he had no chance as I have never been out sniped in any ebay auction

I will have to open it to make sure it is clean but my EVGA GTX680SC will now not be the hottest thing in my rig, that honor will go to the mainboard, followed closely by my WD Black HDD.

Personally, one of my top favorite multiplayer games. Hopefully you also enjoy.

Started playing it yesterday, oh man! I havnt played Battlefield since BF3 and that was console ages. So last time i played was couple years ago. First time i played on PC with Battelfield. To be honest it felt quite similar to BF3. Time to practice now. Im not doing that bad the 4th game i did i ended up 4th. :).

Quite happy with my purchase.

Excellent.

How playable is it without having to keep on pouring money into it?
Not exactly sure what that means? I absolutely love BF4. All I have purchased was premium for $25.00 so I could save money on all the dlc. All the DLC maps are very good.

Also I have the X1 version.

With the Premium Edition, there is nothing else you'll really need to buy. All that's left is shortcuts (early unlock) and buyable battlepacks, but you can get all of those though playing the game.
