I bought a fuckton of RB songs to keep me entertained while I was cooped up from snow these past few days. I got Nevermind, Doolittle, and Boston

and I was just up at Blockbuster where I got a copy of the first game to download on my HD (renting a game from them costs NINE FUCKING DOLLARS). I wish there was a way to delete these stupid cover songs though.

TVC - I didn't know Newsday was considered that well-known that they'd get their review quoted on a book cover.

Willco - Basically it's a controller used in tandem with DJing software for the PC, to give it more of a hands-on feel and better control, instead of relying on the mouse.

I've been trying not to buy anything until SFIV. The only weekly expense I have besides fooooooood/gas is my $4 Xam'd rental on PSN. But show ends next week and then it's just food/gas until SFIV.

The Mirrors Edge DLC next week is tempting though. May bite.

...so yeah, I'm destroying the economy.

I had no intention of getting SD Gundam Force, it was a joke gift from a friend. I'd been holding off on the SRT OG games in the hopes that they'd see a North American release, but I don't think that's happening, so I picked them up for $20 each.

I think I'm totally caught up now on old titles. I've got two terrible robot game new releases on the way in March, though.
