It was on sale at Toys R Us for $109 but they were sold out so I price matched it at Wal-Mart.

OMG the new guitar is so much better than the Rock Band 1 instruments. So are the drums, but I suck at them.

I didn't buy it today, but the 8-port Linksys router I ordered from Newegg came in today.  Now, all I need is a box of CAT5 and the drive to get in my attic, and I can network the shit out of my game room!  Six of those ports are going straight to me, the other two I let the family have.   :lol

Between tuition and my car insurance payment being due this month, December is kinda my buy-lite month, which I guess is okay since like every other week is Christmas to me.  I did buy a lot of liquor this month because I tend to get extra depressed for Xmas.

I see what you did there.

:gloomy

I wasn't trying to do anything.

In all seriousness, I lost interest in Magic within a week of getting a girlfriend. My rabid Star Wars fanboyism didn't go away, though.

Magic was  a very short lived thing for me, but it wound up getting me hooked up with the wargaming club I played with for five years and got me a ace duplicate bridge partner for just as long. So I don't have any bad memories of it.

I also sold like a set of old 3rd edition dual lands for some gross amount when I got out, which was also cool.

I'm covered as far as expected expenses are for the month, so I did a bit of splurging.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51qlv1iwPZL._SS500_.jpg)

I have a large portion of the content in this box already, but some of it has been remastered, and there's a large amount of other content in the box that I do not own.  Plus I was able to snag it on sale.  I feel half guilty on this purchase, but he's one of my favorite directors.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51FSMWubxhL._SS500_.jpg)

Current best thing going on AS.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bVkJ9-hmL._SS400_.jpg)

Didn't recognize any of the episode titles on the disk.  I have a complete collection to maintain.

(http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/513BBWfhsiL._SS500_.jpg)

Bought on account of running out of generally mindless things to watch in my collection + dude from Shameless.

Quote
The Soviet Union won the Cold War. The Russians were a little smarter than they were in our own world, and the United States was a little dumber and a lot less resolute. Now, more than a century later, the world's gone Communist, and capitalism is a bad word.

For Gianfranco and his friend Annarita, a couple of teenagers growing up in Milan, life in a heavily regimented, surveillance-rich command economy is just plain dreary. The eventual withering-away of the state doesn't look like it's going to happen anytime soon.
 
Annarita's a hard-working student and a member of the Young Socialists' League. Gianfranco is a lot less motivated--but on the other hand, his father's a Party apparatchik. The biggest excitement in their lives is a wargame shop called The Gladiator, which runs tournaments, and stocks marvelous complex games you can't find anywhere else.
 
Then, abruptly, the shop is shut down. Someone's figured out that The Gladiator's games are teaching counterrevolutionary capitalist principles. The Security Police are searching high and low for the shop's proprietors, who've not only vanished into thin air, but have left behind sets of fingerprints that aren't in the records of any government on earth.
 

It's like my real life!! Except in the book they just admit the socialists won instead of hiding it.
