Got Tales of Graces PS3 to add to my Tales collection



I will admit this is the most animu set of things I own and the rest of my collection is made of burly man-games.

Got Tales of Graces PS3 to add to my Tales collection
I will admit this is the most animu set of things I own and the rest of my collection is made of burly man-games.

I need to take a picture of all my Gundamu-related games sometime as a comparison.

[Bebpo]

Gundam isn't animu though, it transcends the medium into pure greatness

[Bebpo]

Which reminds me, I need to get back to Gundam Senki once I finish finals.  The game was really great.  What the hell is wrong with me.  Why am I not playing it

[Groogrux]

Some new pipe tobacco and some nice shave soap.  The wife is putting it up for Christmas.

It's non-anamorphic ( ) but it's original release of the movie with Adrienne Barbeau's gazongas before it got replaced with an edited edition to protect America's freedom.

wow. I've seen better Halloween costumes on grade schoolers.

And if you were in America, thanks to hormone-laden beef, you could also have seen better gazongas on grade schoolers. :americacry

Fucking sick, but I don't see TOP SFC on there, which I do have

[ManaByte]

It was either Inception or that, so I chose the better movie.

[Mupepe]

Ew.  Gonna have to disagree with you there, Manabyte.  I'm usually on your side but I'm getting Inception today.  I can't fucking stand Shrek.

But not for myself 

[tiesto]

Baby furniture, baby stroller, baby cradle and 2.6 million different tiny clothes.

Beat this.

You knocked up your hot Polish wife?

watch came






sorry about the pic quality

[Robo]

That thing is simultaneously cool as shit and fucking hideous.

[Madrun Badrun]

ya it's gaudy but in a way I like.

[Mr. Gundam]

Region-free Blu-ray!!!!!

[duckman2000]

By the way, those 686 pants I posted above, they are good stuff. Real good stuff.

Like the watch itself but the band is kinda blah. The same brown without the textured look would probably look better and accentuate the main piece even more (though, like it needs that). And if you're still wearing your cravat, all you'll need is a pea coat and some slacks and you'll finish your "Arvie from a Steam Punk Dimension" look.

Also, here's a shot of FM looking over the typical Canadian landscape

[Madrun Badrun]

Actually the band doesn't really look like that.  It is a lot more red in person.  I think it's the lighting in my room.  In the right light, it can look almost scarlet, which goes really good with the gold.

[Groogrux]

Took a trip to Gatlinburg these last four days and just got back.  Bought a watch at the Fossil outlet and got a wicked fucking deal on it!    Also stopped by Smokey Mountain Knife Works and found a nice Arkansas Wet Stone for $3.  Good times.

[Diunx]

Went to pick up some stuff I got from ebay, I got the tshirt and the polo for casual wearing like going to school or to a mate's house and crap like that and the shirt for christmas eve, the shirt is a lot nicer from what I was expecting for 5 bucks Ebay




Also got my Doctor Who tshirt from tee fury

[Madrun Badrun]

[Groogrux]

That shirt is awesome.

[tehjaybo]

I must agree on the Who shirt.  Link?

[Diunx]

Got it from Tee fury so its no longer available, sorry.

[BlueTsunami]

Just bought my mother her present, another joint effort but this time with my father. Got her the Casio Privia PX-130...



Comes with a stand and sustain pedal. The notable thing about it is its a full 88-keys keyboard and has weighted keys.

This showed up from amazon today:



100 covers from DC's 75 year history. It is the classic YMMV product but there are about 15-20 in there that I'd happily put on my wall. So I went to my local crafts shop and got some cheap-ass frames, all half-price. I cut some cheap card to fit and just pasted the covers on top. It's utterly ghetto but that says 'comics' to me a lot more than expensive reproductions under glass, in a way. Big, garish cheap and disposable!

Here's the 3 I settled on (to begin with - the shop only had 3 frames!). Top is Animal Man #5, the classic 'The Coyote Gospel', which is a 4th wall-breaking exercise in existential terror based on the Roadrunner cartoon. One of the best single issue comics of the period. Cover by Brian Bolland, who does very little interior work but who is probably best known for The Killing Joke with Alan Moore. Written by Grant Morrison of course.

On the bottom left is Batman Year 100 #1, by writer/artist Paul Pope. I fucking love his art, it's just savage and lush and sexy. His Batman is genuinely weird and terrifying but very human at the same time.

On the bottom right is Ronin #1 by Frank Miller, which may be the first comic I can remember reading that really broadened my appreciation of the medium. This came out when I was about 12 yrs old and it was pretty mind-blowing, combining as it did elements from manga (Lone Wolf and Cub/Shogun Assasin, Akira etc) with European Heavy Metal-type artists like Moebius along with Frank's own post-Kirby superhero madness. It doesn't quite come together the way his later work did, but it is probably the most interesting thing he has ever done, for its ambition if nothing else. I have the Absolute edition, and I'm SERIOUSLY considering cutting it up to frame it as well. Such a beautiful book.

I used those when I remodeled my basement.

This showed up from amazon today:

(Image removed from quote.)

I went to the local comic shop to pick up a cheap 3D comic (for the paper glasses), and flipped through this.  I thought the reproduction quality was a bit lacking for the $40 retail, some of the images are quite fuzzy.  For the $26 they're asking on Amazon, it's a decent buy.  I wish they'd have been a bit more varied with their selections of Golden Age covers, though, as a lot of them are covers we've all seen reprinted 1000 times over.

[ManaByte]

I'm probably going to order that.

[Mr. Gundam]

[ManaByte]

They've done 3 of them? Or is the only difference that they put a 3 on this box?

As I said, YMMV!

It's mostly a coffee table book to flip through once in a while, getting some wall-candy out of it is a bonus really. I put it in my cart along with a bunch of other books and was very pleasantly surprised at how much fun I had reading it. But yeah, these are hardly definitive reproductions. I'm not quite ready to slash up my Absolute editions and such yet though. This was a dry run for such a project, really. I'm looking very hard at my copy of SOLO by Brendan McCarthy now.

[Mr. Gundam]

New series, new mobile suits, online/co-op play, cel-shading, etc. Not like you care or anything.

[Akala]

caved and bought! almost finished my christmas shopping with the gift card! when I get around to fixing the broken one, I can stick it in the bedroom.

[Cormacaroni]

Whole bunch of comics-related stuff has showed up from amazon, part of my yearly Xmas binge shopping:

SOLO by Brendan McCarthy:


Just insane psychedelic art.

Prison Pit #1-2 by Johnny Ryan (#2 pictured):


The INCAL Classic Collection by Jodorowsky and Moebius. This is one of 750 produced in English, at the original Euro size and coloring:


Green Lantern: Will World (for the incredible art by the late, great Seth Fisher. Only tangentially a GL story really. It reads much more like Little Nemo in Slumberland by Windsor McCay)


Best of American Splendor by Harvey Pekar etc. Best toilet book ever! I love Harvey.


Krazy & Ignatz 1927-1928: "Love Letters in Ancient Brick" (Krazy Kat)


Powr Mastrs #1-3 by CF. (#3 pictured below) One of the strangest comics ever published, and a book of the year candidate.


Hellboy - Library Collection #1-3 (only 1 pictured below). These share the production values of DC's Absolutes, but are far cheaper for some reason. No slipcase but almost the same size and done on beautiful paper. The Mike Mignola art is a revelation at that size.


Duncan the Wonder Dog by Adam Hines - 800pgs of an alternate history in which animals can talk.


If n'Oof by Brian Chippendale


Grant Morrison: Talking with Gods (DVD documentary)


and finally: Absolute All Star Superman


Don't even ASK what all of this cost. It isn't pretty.

I bought this last night for my wife for xmas:

[OptimoPeach]

Yesterday I spiked my good pair of headphones in a fit of SC2-induced nerdrage and ended up breaking them, so I just ordered a new pair from Amazon. I was pretty happy with my last pair (Audio Technica AD700) except that they were open-eared and kinda weak on the bass, so I went with Sennheiser HD595's this time

Pretty nice haul. I've been eying PS3's myself lately, but I still have too much un-played 360 stuff

I didn't actually know you can use Wal-Mart gift cards on Amazon

[cool breeze]

haha I literally just bought the AT AD700s to replace my old HD595s.  First thoughts are that the hd595s seem better, but the AD700s are more comfortable.
