A Lemongrab plushy

I'm not judging or anything, but shouldn't one of those hats be a Nissan hat?:lol:

Ha Ha...I've looked, but can't find one made by Choko, their "one size" hats are the only ones I've had that dont look enormous on my tiny head :lol: They're the only ones I feel confident buying blindly online.
 
I'm 1-2 week's late but here it's anyway...

Bought it on 27th Augest from Amazon (or Augest 27 if you're from 'murcia)...Got delivered a week later on 3rd September.

The reasons I've bought the older HD instead of HD60 is because of...
1. It's cheaper...
2. I can record stuff on older consoles such as PS3, Wii, PS2....etc unlike the HD60 which only works on the xbox 360, xbox one, Wii u and PS4 (which's the only one I own between this 4 consoles list).

Also on the same day when I bought Elgato game capture hd online, I also got this...

:D:tup: (this my second ever game to get it earlier after GT6 but unlike the horrible disappointment with GT6, this is probably the best game I have ever played from this year!).
 
Picked up this today.

An incredible Jazz bassist (plays bass guitar) and he features alongside quite a few good artists like Kamasi Washington, Flying Lotus (who produced the album above) Kendrik Lamar just to name a few.

If you love bass guitar and love jazz then this guys is a must look.
 
My Boston Acoustics system kicked the bucket, and the Harmon/Kardon SoundSticks were on sale and sound as good as they look, so:

Getting my TV on the wall and off the desk to save space.

I bought a fairly cheap Asus tower with a good processor from Best Buy and upgraded the GPU and PSU to the following:
EVGA GTX960 2GB

Thermaltake 650W

And a monitor to bring it all together; a Lenovo 21.5" IPS LED monitor.

I also got some crappy $10 speakers to use for the PC when the Xbox/TV are occupying the SoundSticks.

This was all inspired by me having to send my msi GP60 in for warranty repair and realising that I'd rather have a desktop that I can work on and replace parts myself. Especially while getting well over twice the performance while saving a few hundred dollars.
 
I skipped the September Loot Crate, but still got the August Mystery Crate and T-shirt, which comes with a random mix of leftover items from past crates. It came with:

  • A Loot Crate exclusive card game called Superfight. It seems a bit too geeky for even me. I can see it coming out when I'm drunk though.
  • An inflatable crown that would fit my daughter, if it didn't leak.
  • An Avengers: Age of Ultron decal. I'm not a big decal guy.
  • 8- bit sunglasses. They're pretty sweet.
  • A Game of Thrones Stark sigil 4GB USB drive. I was actually consider getting a new USB drive, as I lost my last one, so well timed.
  • A Hex Bug Scarab robot. Useless, but awesome.
  • Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Official prop replica lanyard. Agent Koenig finally gave me one.
  • Loot Crate exclusive edition Rocket Raccoon #1 comic book. As far as I can tell its only difference from the standard edition is that on the cover Rocket is holding a Loot Crate. As anyone should know by now, I'm a comic geek and long time fan of GotG and Rocket.

All in all, a good pull. I love 5/8 items. Totally worth $20.

For $5 I got to add on one of their past shirts, randomly chosen from 9 designs. I got my second favorite of the designs.

Marty McPrime: A time traveling Transformer whose alt mode is Doc Brown's DeLorean time machine.

I can now be Solid Snake

That's funny, where's your cardboard box?

:lol:

Anyway, after seeing the Forza 6 reviews pour in, I tried telling myself not to buy an Xbox One... I already have a PS4, so I just need to be patient and wait for GT7.

So here I am with my shiny new Xbox One. $405 altogether for the XB1 Assassin's Creed Unity bundle sans Kinect, Rare Replay and a Play & Charge kit (Seriously MS?? The "AA battery" shtick is getting about as old as the "external PSU as big as the actual console" routine...)

Watching him go absolutely crazy on his bass at the Roundhouse (when he was supporting FlyLo) is something I'll cherish for a very long time.
