It's gonna be shitty Gundam game weekend at Ichi's house! I picked up a Super Famicom and a bunch of old Gundam games: G Gundam, Gundam F91: Formula Wars 0122, Gundam Wing: Endless Duel, Gundam: Cross Dimension 0079, Zeta Gundam: Away to the Newtype, and V Gundam. I also picked up the NiGHTS Nightopia Dream Pack for PS2 and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for my DS Lite.
WHAT DID YOU BUY, CAPITALIST CONSUMERISTS?!?!?!?!?
-
nights impressions plz
-
Too busy playing shitty Gundam games this weekend. NiGHTs will have to wait, I think it's just a remake of the original Saturn one, though, so probably not much new! It includes Christmas NiGHTs, according to the manual.
-
haha you win Ichi, im not buyin much today
-
i bought lunch and BREAKFAST
but am too poor to buy anything else
stupid car
-
haha you win Ichi, im not buyin much today
OMG I DEFEATED MAF
I am leveling up
It's only because I got paid yesterday tho
-
OMG at Nights. I just ordered the box on play-asia.
-
haha you win Ichi, im not buyin much today
WE WHO ARE PAID ON THE 15TH AND 30TH SHALL RISE AS A PEOPLE ONCE AGAIN
-
It looks like I splurged but each Gundam game was an average of 500 yen and the Super Famicom was only 3192 yen so it was actually really cheap. The most expensive things were the import Apollo Justice and NiGHTs.
-
haha you win Ichi, im not buyin much today
WE WHO ARE PAID ON THE 15TH AND 30TH SHALL RISE AS A PEOPLE ONCE AGAIN
YES
-
You guys get paid twice a month, that's cheating.
-

it is more money than i know what to do with, so i'm at a loss
-
I make 6.75/hr, stop bitchin.

It was only $30 on amazon this morning.
I'm gonna buy this when it goes on sale for the same price on amazon in the next 10-11 minutes.

Edit: I got MP3. That shit literally sold out in seconds.
-
(http://img.alibaba.com/photo/11081295/Sony_Playstation_3_60gb_Game_Console__Brand_New.jpg)
Nabbed one from work finally. It came in at just over $100 with my discount and store credit from trade-ins, a few pre-order cancellations (I paid off Condemned 2 and such), etc.
Planet Earth looks amazing!
-
so i'm thinking of getting a PS3 are there no backwards compatibility now and will blue ray look good if i only have a 19" monitor?
-
The Sony rep (who is good friends with the Microsoft rep, even!) seemed pretty confident that all 40GB and future PS3 models are going to be software backwards compatible at some point. That's why I jumped the gun on the 40GB model. He's been accurate with all information he's fed me thus far.
Blu-ray looks great on EVERYTHING. Planet Earth is a PS3 killer app. You will believe a giant great white shark can jump out of the water and eat a seal in one gulp!
-
smaller monitors dont do 1080p anyway so theres very little chance of seeing what happens with 1080p on a small display. 720p looks fantastic on any display that supports it. The jump to HD was well worth it, especially for planet earth and omg unforgiven and replacement killers and ommgg
-
if it will be included in the future, should i just upgrade to that huge ass dell monitor instead and just wait for it? because there's really nothing i want ps3 wise, but there are a lot of ps2 games i'd like to play
like turok

Unforgiven really does look that good on BD? I might nab a copy this weekend.
-
Basically anything WB looks OMG. But yeah, its pretty stunning imo. Replacement Killers blew me away too cause thats never been a big name release, and that looks fukin good too, as do the underworld movies
-
DIM SUM
And probably gasoline and alcohol a little later. Still debating on picking up Jin-Roh or not, in spite of the price. I haven't been in much of a movie mood lately.

next paycheck i am getting a bonus at work that i didn't know i was getting
it is more money than i know what to do with, so i'm at a loss
you could use it to pay me for Persepolis
-
meh
i was going to grow a mustache and upload a video to youtube showing me twirling it while i laughed maniacally after backing out of not paying you.
then i was going to tie it to the railroad tracks.
-
you can still do that
just pay me, too
I won't tell anyone
-
Since my fucking check didn't show up before my shift ended I'm not buying a goddamn thing. :(
-
but then it won't be as sincere
well, i'll consider it
-
food
-
I got 3 Phoenix Wright games. Zodiac HD-DVD. Run Lola Run BD. And some delicious DELICIOUS thai food.
And I'm probably going to buy a camera lens. Just trying to decide whether I want to pay 400 or 700 dollars.
-

Local video place had a sale on BDs, so I got:

And last Sunday, I bought this:
(http://www.blu-ray.com/images/movies/covers/384_medium.jpg)
Which is one of the best damn documentaries ever. CrystalGemini and I watched the first episode, Pole to Pole, last night and there were a couple of times where we were blown away - especially when that great white shark jumped out of the water and ate a seal in one gulp!
-
I also have a movie called Pole to Pole
It is not a documentary
-
I didn't know you filthy pakis swung that way, Patel.
-
I'd like to thank Uncle Sam for allowing me to go Blu. There are a few more BDs I want, like The Shining, Unforgiven, Hellboy, The Getaway, 3:10 to Yuma and maybe one or two more. But that's it for now. I am buying Unbreakable and Predator as soon as they hit BD. I think they both are due for release pretty soon.
-
That's a nice fuckin haul, Will.
-
I'm going to buy some hot cocoa to impress a girl when she comes over to my apartment for "hot cocoa" tonight
any brand recommendations
-
"hot cocoa" doesn't mean "hot cocoa" it means sex!
-
D:
well just in case we drink cocoa first, any recommendations
-
# Steambot Chronicles features a dating side quest where Vanilla Bean, the protagonist, can be invited to his girlfriend's home for Hot Cocoa (revealed to be an actual invitation for hot chocolate, and not sex).
-
Willco, you cigarillo, get 2001. It is sex on the eyes.
I am either getting this:

I had delicious coriander beef with tasty tasty deep-fried calamari for lunch and it was SEX SEX SEX

:drool Calamari, give me some.
-
I'd watch 2001 maybe once. I won't own any video release unless I am sure I can watch it more than once. Unless it's a gift or an impulse buy.
-
You can watch it at least twice to beat off to the insane visuals.
-
I have DVDs I haven't even watched once. :-\
-
I don't understand the point of collecting movies just 'cause, but - hey - to each his own. I will watch those movies multiple times and dissect them, or rip them off entirely in the future when I write more screenplays!
-
And I don't understand the point of rewatching Layer Cake when there's a perfectly acceptable 2001!
-
2001 looks great, but it really doesn't capture me as a movie. I really like Layer Cake, though!
-

Well, some I've bought just cause they were cheap and I never had seen them. And I still haven't.

If you had to rank 2001 vs Transformers, which would win?
-
My prof showed a clip of 2001 in class yesterday and it seemed the vast majority was not amused. They rather watch Star Wars (the other clip shown).

That doesn't sound like authentic Thai food.

Prole's buying BDs too? Blu-ray's victory is complete.
I just watched Shoot'em up a few days ago in True HD and the video transfer is pristine. The film itself is just so-so though.

That was just the appetizer. I think deep-friend calamari is just kinda popular. This thai place just happens to have the best in the area.
-

2001 is a film, Transformers is popcorn trash. Duh.
-
Just an engagement card for my friend Rob, and some new tires for my car...
was trying to find a new pair of jeans but came up short.
-
Fuck, I can't find my 2001 disc. It's the only BD not in its case. What with my viewing habits, it has probably migrated into like, the Revenge of the Nerds 2 case or some such.
-
I dropped about $250 on taking our cat to the vet for her yearly checkup, shots, and a teeth cleaning.
Yay reality. :(
-
fuck it, I'm going to bed and watching Fearless Vampire Killers again. This will be like the fourth time in two weeks, second in two days. It is basically the best movie ever.

moviestop broke street date
it's pretty nifty, the vampire attacks are brutal, and children get et
pq is awesome
-
Actually worthwhile? I am guessing street date is next week?
I am debating double dipping on Planet Earf (I only have it on DVD). And 2001 :( WHO WANTS MY SECOND COPY OF 2001 WHEN I INVARIABLY DISCOVER MY OLD COPY FIVE MINUTES AFTER RETURNING HOME WITH THE NEW ONE?
-
it's the most enjoyable vampire flick i have seen in a while, genuine tension, the vampires are just flat-out ruthless, and you really root for the characters
i don't buy hd movies at full price, i do the trade-in thing at moviestop, so i only paid $9 out of pocket (actual street date is tuesday the 26th)
i don't think any movie is worth $30 retail, so i can't advise there, but i really liked it
like i said, children get et, there's a jaw-dropping overhead tracking shot of the town during the initial vampire onslaught that gave me the shivers
-
i also pre-ordered butch cassidy & the sundance kid on blu ray, and there will be blood on hd dvd
butch and sundance is only the best movie ever
-
Ethernet cable
Ghostbusters 1 and 2. They were both 1 euro so it would have been a crime to not get it :lol

-

I will die the day Jaws is released on Blu-Ray. I want more Carpenter flicks on Blu-Ray... Escape from New York, The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, etc.
-
