What have you gotten/bought recently? Please no really small stuff like "I bought some candies :3."

I recently went to a book fair and picked up some Milan Kundera, Anthony De Mellos "Awareness", and Nietzsches "The gay science".

- A blue screen T-Shirt
- A multifunctional screwdriver in key shape (very useful)
- Borderlands via Steam (already 37% percent preloaded, yay!)

Beer! A couple of Kronenbourg, Lowenbrau, and Bio Boris.  :beer: Mmm...

I preordered l4d2.

Oh, also I bought a silk screening kit!

A binder for school  :-X

A DSLite and a brown corduroy jacket. And a Pentel GraphGear 500 pencil.

If you mean "within the last week" by "recently":

-An old Bon Jovi album on casette.
-A CD of Weird Al's album Bad Hair Day.
-Hexen, for Win95/Dos
-Four old episodes of The Outer Limits, on VHS
-Escape from New York on VHS
-Ed Wood on VHS

I picked up a really nice, old typewriter from the Salvation Army the other day. I have never really used a typewriter before but it was just really, I don't know, aesthetically pleasing about it in a retro-throwback sort of a way. It is probably about 40 years old or so and is in pretty damn good condition. Apparently it is a Remington Ten Forty portable typewriter (totally mechanical too which I thought was awesome). It even had all of the manuals, so I felt it was a steal at only $3. All that needs to be done is some of the keys need a little WD-1040 and the case needs to be cleaned a bit but that's about it.

I also bought the first issue of Love and Rockets off of the Fantagraphics website and picked up Ice Haven and Persopolis from Hastings on the cheap ($3 for Ice Haven and $1 for Persopolis! Hardcovers even).

-Deluxe Edition New Junk Aesthetic
-Axe To Fall Digipack
-The Hurt Locker(great movie btw)
-Splinter Cell 2 and 3(lost them awhile back :durr:)
-Venture Bros. Season 3

Borderlands 360. Got my money's worth the first time I disintegrated a bandit from the waist up with a revolver.

You affluent bastards and you precious Boderlands, agh, I hope they release a demo for the PC soon, not that I could afford it now or anything but it looks like this game is right up my alley for sure.

im headed to the store right now... i will be back!!1 :-OOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Not sure about the US, but here in Canada, it's 70 dollars for consoles, and 50 dollars for PCs. BOOYAH.

...Don't have that much money, though.  :'(

A Grandaddy album - Sumday. Was at FYE for $3. Found it while I was going to pick up the new Built to Spill CD, which I also found.

You and me both brother, you and me both. See, if only they would price these things at around $30-$40 or so, now that would be reasonable. No wonder I always have to wait for a Steam sale to get any new games...

Reissues of the first three Black Sabbath lps.

Nothing, but I'm getting a nice gas non-blowback airsoft pistol soon. I'm also getting Borderlands and some weed pretty soon. :noir:

I don't have money so I don't get things.

That said, I shared a book with a friend and got A Scanner Darkly back.

Forza 3 for my Seksbox.
Beyond Good and Evil for my PS2

I got Beyond Good And Evil a while ago, still needa play it. x.x

Windows 7. It feels exactly like Vista except now with a worse interface. But I managed to arrange the icons and do a bunch of hacks so it works just like it used to in the Vista/XP days. It's pretty good now with all the tinkering I've done to it. I'm actually starting to really like it now.

Your kidding right? Win 7 is hands down the best Windows UI I have ever used...

BITCHES BE RITZ BITZ
i just went n got borderlands , odst , masseffect(it was 20$ so...)

add me if ya wana play anything- gamertag: jollifsh

- A winter coat, since it snowed for the first time of the year this week in Montreal.
- Learning Actionscript 3.0, A Beginner's guide and Programming for Dummies to learn how to program my own games.
- A Theory of Fun book, which I'll receive later this week.
- A "old prisoner" costume for Halloween.

i heard that was p.bad

feel free to comment otherwise and convince me to buy it
i need new games

Wacom Graphics Tablet for $160.

It's kind of short, but play it on Legendary and it's one hell of a challenge. But honestly, it's not pretty bad. It's pretty good in my opinion. Campaign mode is great, far better than Halo 3's. As for online: Firefight is fun with a friend doing split-screen, and it comes with a second disc that has Halo 3's online mode (and a few new good maps). Well worth the money. :)

odst... very good of what i played so far. just the art design and the 'silenced smg' alone makes it feel very different from halo3

the combat is still pretty much the same tho, but its a lot more entertaining and challenging...
and i died a lot in normal difficulty :(

borderlands is good too... just got to level 6 :-o

Dude, can I use it, I have a killer Idea for a shirt.

Graphic novels and trade paperbacks of various indie comics at the Alternative Press Expo last weekend.

Or just show him your idea for your shirt, he sells it, gives you a cut of the profit. And another cut of the profit to me for coming up with a way for the money-making to go around. :gentleman:

Gentlemen.

Recently started seriously reading for the first time in my life, so I bought a copy of The Wanting Seed by Anthony Burgess along with a load of other books at Powell's.

Also, a set of those sexy Psychosomnium pins Attract Mode is selling.

I don't wanna sell it,  I just wanna have it.

Then just tell him your idea, have him make it, then have him send it to you. :beer:

I preordered it for the PC and now it's on torrents and it's soooo tempting :'(

We can totally make this happen. I just need to clean it up (just used it to screen a bunch of album covers for my band) then it`s good to go again. I`m not the best at it yet, takes a bit of trail and error, but send me the idea you want and we`ll figure out if it`s do-able  ;)

Just bought a new hard drive today. 500gb, should give me plenty of room to expand ::)

Bought a 160gb iPod, it is very nice.

Got a debit card today. Went a little crazy, buying Lunnye Devitsy and pledging to Saturated Dreamers and Resonance on Kickstarter. Plan to go crazier.

Biomega 3 & 4
The Walking Dead 9
Monsieur Mardi-Gras Descendres 4

Tekken-goddamn-6

Bob is the greatest fighting game character of all time.

101 Things I Learned in Architecture School

Badass: A Relentless Onslaught of the Toughest Warlords, Vikings, Samurai, Pirates, Gunfighters, and Military Commanders to Ever Live

JBuds headphones


And Amazon gave me 5 Amazon Music Dollars to spend cause I got the headphones, so I got an Amon Tobin album too, hooray.

I don't measure my self-worth by the things I own  :giggle:

- some green/white tea blend (my favorite type of tea at the moment)
- some kanji flash cards (i'm trying to re-learn the japanese i forgot from college)

that's it for the last month. us indies is poorz

As an attempt to kick my coca-cola drinking habit, I got into Tea again. Lately I've been drinking peppermint with green and its awesome.

Dokapon Kingdom for the Wii. It's a great multiplayer party game, and it's given me some great ideas and a renewed motivation to work on Commedia.

I bought a pair of pants!

It's the first pair of nice pants I have owned which was new and which fit well, so I actually am kind of happy about it.

Elliott Smith - Figure 8. Never listen to him before, its a shame he died. x.x

Scribblenauts for my Brother's 27th yesterday. Damn, after playing it I wish it was mine  :'(

Set of sparkplugs/replacement OEM wires for my automobile. The finishing touches of a journey that has seen me spend $too much trying to bring her back from the dead.

Time Gentleman, Please! and donated to Zombie Cow as well.

Really been wanting this, but I unfortunately have no one who would want to play it with me. >:

Well, I didn't buy this, but I "got" it, so...

A ~15-year-old Dell AT101W keyboard, dug it out of my attic and spent a few hours disassembling and cleaning it out. Wonderful, clicky keyboard, they really don't make them like they used to... I'm still looking for a deal on an IBM Model M, but I think this'll hold me over...

Picked up a Billy Joel album on cassette today. "Songs in the Attic"

"Preordered" S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Call of Pripyat Special Edition via GameStop. There was the possibility to buy it immediately on Friday without the Special Edition enhancements, but the insane collector inside me was stronger... again.

 me        GameStop
:facepalm: :handmoneyR:     :beg:

Bought: September 2009 issue of Motor Trend
Got:Holiday 2009 issue of Guitar World (Freaking sweet, comes with Free Bird and Cult of Personality guitar and bass tabs.)

I want a keyboard like that too :blink: :blink:

500 posts.

A black Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet! :-*

Haha, I have one just like that! It is indeed a fine piece of input engineering. I also have a model M, but let me assure you that this is not far behind the IBM's feel at all. Plus, model M's have a tendency to act funky with certain PS/2 ports.

The cheapest Genius tablet out there. And it's awesome! (for me)

A PS3  :handshakeL: ;D :handshakeR:

- StarCraft
- Fallout 1&2&tactics (in support of interplay)
- Self-esteem

Self-esteem lost while playing Spelunky.

- Panasonic BD-60 Blu-Ray Player
- 4 Sorbothane Hemipshere feet for vibration resistance
- 1 HDMI 1.3b cable
- Venture Bros Season 3 [Blu-Ray]

My birthday is coming up, and the wife and I were pretty set on getting a blu-ray player. I was originally going to grab a ps3 slim because the price was so comparable between players vs. game console, but the Panasonic was $139.96 w/ free shipping and no tax so that seemed like a MUCH better deal.

muse resistance album, besides that a new HP multifunctional device. next on the wish list - some genius cheap tablet.

Where do you buy self-esteem? Do they ship overseas?

I bought IG Maker finally (was working in the trial version till now)! Why is it so expensive ;_; (80$)

Bought myself Herman Hesse's "The Glass Bead Game". Also Windosill and Trine.

Right on, I love Herman Hesse. I still haven't gotten around to reading the copy of The Glass Bead Game that my wife bought for me a few years ago. I am just waiting for the right day I suppose...

Got myself a VAIO CW1S1E. Gonna used at Nordic Game Jam and I'm loving it! I really like the web boot that fires up a splashtop browser in like 10 seconds from a powered down state.

Peanut butter so that I can make peanut butter and banana sandwiches (really good after a workout), and a new set of headphones.

Some Curry from the new Curry take-out place on my way home. It was good!

Whooo, big shopping day for me yesterday. I stopped by Fry's Electronics to pick up two copies of Torchlight. (which I found and acquired) But while I was there, I succumbed to the temptation to build a new rig. I've been wanting me a proper Linux box for some time. My day job is web design and coding, so having more hands-on experience with Linux servers is a good idea.

I ended up buying...
An MSI motherboard
An Intel Celeron Processor (2.4 GHZ, 64-bit compatible)
A Cooler Master exterior case (2 five-inch bays, 2 three-inch bays)
2 Gigabytes of DDR2 RAM
A 600W Power Supply
A DVD Burner drive
A 250 GB 2.5 inch notebook hard drive (along with mounting adapter)
An MSI 512 MB PCI-Express 3D accelerator
A PCI Wireless network adapter

After mail-in rebates, the entire package only cost me around $325. I assembled most of the components last night, and I'm planning on installing Ubuntu on it when I get home from work.
